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. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on humans than on the species itself, so would the fate of humankind depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.
But we have one advantage: We get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed Artificial Intelligence, to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?
This profoundly ambitious and original book breaks down a vast track of difficult intellectual terrain. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

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.

Geschichte
Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.

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.

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.

Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us - an ambitious urban entrepreneur who rose up the social ladder, from leather-aproned shopkeeper to dining with kings. In best-selling author Walter Isaacson's vivid and witty full-scale biography, we discover why Franklin turns to us from history's stage with eyes that twinkle from behind his new-fangled spectacles. In Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson shows how Franklin defines both his own time and ours. The most interesting thing that Franklin invented, and continually reinvented, was himself.

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.

It sounds like the narrator has put a bucket on his head and unfortunately it is additionally read in a staccato fashion making each and every sentence sound exactly the same. Not the quality level I'd expect from an Audible audiobook.

Interessant aber manchmal fade und hypothetisch
Eigentlich ein sehr interessantes Thema. Unsere Gesellschaft muss sich rechtzeitig Gedanken darüber machen, wie man eine KI so erschafft, dass sie kontrollierbar bleibt, selbst wenn sie schlauer wird als wir. Tun wir das nicht rechtzeitig und ausgiebig genug, könnte die Erfindung einer solchen KI das letzte Ereignis in der Geschichte der Menschheit sein. Das Buch zeigt verschiedene mögliche Arten, wie eine solche KI entwickelt werden könnte, wie der Übergang in eine Gesellschaft mit künstlicher Intelligenz ablaufen könnte und wie man diese Vorgänge in gewissem Maße sicher machen könnte.
Das ist so weit ganz spannend, serviert wird das jedoch teilweise in mathematischen Ausschweifungen und oder in so hypothetischen Szenarien, dass es mir schwer gefallen ist, das Buch zu hören und ich die letzten beiden Kapitel komplett ausgelassen habe (obwohl ich das Thema unheimlich spannend finde). Zwar ist das Thema wirklich wichtig und viele der gezeigten Probleme und Lösungsansätze sind durchaus hilfreich. Trotzdem wirkt es an vielen Stellen so, als würde der Erfinder der Dampfmaschine über Probleme in der Formel 1 philosophieren. Wir sind heute noch so weit davon entfernt eine brauchbare KI zu entwickeln, die es auch wert ist als intelligent bezeichnet zu werden, dass wir nur wild spekulieren können, wie so etwas funktionieren kann. Da erscheint es mir wenig zielführend Kapitel über Kapitel auf eben diesen Spekulationen aufzubauen ohne dass wirklich viel heraus kommt...

Eine kaum zu ertragende Aneinanderreihung von Buzzwords. Der Sprecher schafft es kaum den Text zu erzählen. Stattdessen folgt Aufzählung auf Aufzählung. Auch die ständigen Wortwiederholungen trüben den Hörgenuß. Mein erstes und bisher einziges Hörbuch das ich aufgegeben und nicht beendet habe. Schade, das Forschungsgebiet ist an und für sich sehr spannend.

Too important to be this bulky
Ok, I get it, the author comes from a very academic origin. But this is too much. This book is good, really, if you invest some brain energy and if you try to be a critic who needs to be persuaded by logical proof reasoning.
But it deserves a rewrite. A real layman's rewrite with clearer statements, cut by at least 25 percent and with more examples. Oh wait, that rewrite is already done. Read waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html
But then also by this audio book to reward the author for his work :)

Arguments with more holes than a fine Gorgombert
This book attempts to present which form superintelligent systems might take and how we might achieve them. It then proceeds to lay out the dangers of such systems and possible solutions, although I have not reached the solutions since I returned the book after listening to 2/3 of it.
The main problems of this book for me are the numerous unquestioned assumptions it hides paired with its vagueness and many inconsistencies.
Here are two of the larger such assumptions:
- Why would machine-based AI retain all the properties (massive storage, high clock rates) of current computers? Current results from AI research have taught us about "catastrophic forgetting" and increased inference times for larger models. This point is not addressed in the book, instead it is implicitly assumed to be true since the super AI would "run on machine hardware"
- Why would a superintelligence be effectively omniscient? The Pareto principle and chaos theory are still a thing. Also, the book never considers how such a superintelligence would acquire knowledge. Just "reading everything on the internet" will not be enough to be omniscient. Causality research shows us that it is not enough to merely observe things to deduce causal relationships you also need interventions, which is not possible in the internet wisdom case.
There are many more such examples throughout the book.
Another glaring point of criticism is that the book does not event try to define its main subject. Under the weak premise of "not wanting to be bogged down in semantics" the book never characterizes what a superintelligence is apart from it being "superior to any human in the relevant tasks" (whatever those tasks are and how many they are). This includes anything from something that is slightly faster at inference to God. And everything is conflated into a single concept and presented as inevitable.
Save yourself the time, this book is not worth listening to in my opinion.
