![]() ![]() It has also been favorably reviewed by experts in the field, such as Yoshua Bengio and Judea Pearl. ![]() It also gives updated arguments on AI safety five years after Nick Bostrom’s “ Superintelligence” and gives examples of promising research areas. It makes the case for working on AI safety to a broad audience. I think the book can be an extremely impactful and positive contribution to the field of AI safety. He suggests that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, according to which machines are designed to be inherently uncertain about the human preferences they are required to satisfy. Finally, he explains why we must ensure that we never lose control of machines more powerful than we are. ![]() Russell spells out the ways humans are already finding to misuse AI, from lethal autonomous weapons to the manipulation of opinions on a global scale. ![]() The book explores the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines, describes the benefits we can expect (from intelligent personal assistants to vastly accelerated scientific research), and outlines the AI breakthroughs that still have to happen before we reach superhuman AI. In the book, he explains why he has come to consider his own discipline an existential threat to our species, and lays out how we can change course before it's too late. Stuart Russell, professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and Director of the Center for Human-Compatible Intelligence (CHAI), has a new book out today: “Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Control Problem”. ![]()
