Risks of artificial intelligence

Abstract

“Risks of Artificial Intelligence” examines the potential dangers posed by increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence. Leading experts discuss the future of AI, evaluating predictions and proposing methods to ensure its beneficial use. The book explores how even seemingly harmless AI systems can pose threats, and analyzes approaches to building safer AI through machine ethics, utility functions, and fostering empathy and learning in AI systems. The authors also consider the impact of human-like AI, the possibility of a rapid AI takeoff, and the potential for AI to remain “artificially stupid.” This book offers a comprehensive overview of the risks associated with AI and provides insights into how to mitigate these dangers, ultimately shaping a safer future for humanity.
