How will artificial intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society, and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology - and there's nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.
How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today's kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning, or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle?
What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. It doesn't shy away from the full range of viewpoints or from the most controversial issues - from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness, and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos.

Geschichte
Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Geschichte
In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this groundbreaking audiobook, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines.

Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void?

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

Geschichte
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

From the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do? Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.

For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: The union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

interesting but not what I expected
I would have liked more facts instead of fiction, Tegmark in my opinion holds on to what he feels is human and how it get's presented to us by movies and media.. in my opinion AI is beyond human, the book should be about letting go of what we think is human and open up for the developements ahead..
Tegmark talks a lot about how AI can serve humans so we can stay like we are but in my opinion AI is so much more, AI gives us a better understandting of ourselves and by doing so is transcending humankind.. it will be part of our evolution and what we think to be human is, needs to be left behind to create something better..
we just need to let the whole topic evolve without fear, I suprised that a cosmologist like Tegmark wants to constantly steer our future, thats not what the universe is about, the universe is about natural evoluation, unbound to any believes..
I would recommend Homo Deus instead of this one if you want to get a glimpse of where we are heading..

Thoughts on Life, Universe and Intelligence
This is a very thoughtful book about the last invention humanity will likely make: super intelligence. I like the way how Max outlines his definitions of intelligence or consciousness and then explores the topic of super intelligence from different perspectives. Inspiring and thought provoking with quite a bit of physics.

Too Hypothetical
I work and design Artifical Systems, thus I was really interested in this book. Unfortunatly I was pretty disappointed. The speaker sounds very boring and the book is more about what could happen in theory. The problem I have with this is, we know so little about the universe and technlogoy, that hypothetical, anything can happen. This book doesnt talk about what AI currently is able to do but instead creates a story where AI basically takes over the world. Even when he talks about the problems of AI, he doesnt talks too hypothetical. I personally cant recommend this book, since it reads to me as a SciFi. Book is about what can happen with AI in 200-1000 years. We don't even know how advanced AI will be in 10 years and humans have been wrong in assuming technlogoy development in the past many times already. Turin expected the first Computer to fool a human to be decades before it actually happened.

Prinzipiell sehr gut - aber manchmal sehr abstrakt
Das Audiobook bietet einen guten Einblick in AI und dem aktuellen Status dazu. Jedes Kapitel hat dabei verschiedene Informationen - manchmal mehr technisch, analytisch, abstrakt oder informierend über den aktuellen Wissenstand und die Forschungsweise dazu.
Der Größte Teil des Audiobooks ist gut aufgebaut und sehr packend (teilweise sehr informationsreiche für einen Newbie daher nicht zu empfehlen wenn gehört wird bei anstrengenden Stadtverkehr oder Intervallen beim Laufen). Teile vom Buch sind mir persönlich aber zu abgehoben und abstrakt. Diese Kapitel sind dann fast wie eine Fantasy Story geschrieben. Ist Geschmackssache, ich bevorzuge aber eher die Sichtweise eines realitätsnahen Zustands.

Great thoughts, sub-par presentation
Being a researcher myself, and at home in a field close to what Tegmark writes about, I do believe that he's very much aiming in the right direction. In part, his thoughts are outright breathtaking. What I didn't like are his lengthy paths to making a point; in particular those that describe, over various minutes, whom he met, how humbled he was, and how nice the other person acted. This is what I'd expect from an autobiography, not a philosophical, thought-provoking, and otherwise inspiring take on one pf the biggest challenges humanity will face. Also, the narrator takes his job a step too far when reading, e.g., URLs almost letter-by-letter.
