A prominent researcher in artificial intelligence presents a fresh perspective on AI that will allow us to live harmoniously alongside increasingly intelligent machines.
In our collective consciousness, superhuman artificial intelligence is often viewed as an impending force that jeopardizes not only jobs and personal connections but the very fabric of civilization. The notion of conflict between humans and machines is perceived as unavoidable, with outcomes eerily predictable.
In this enlightening book, esteemed AI researcher Stuart Russell contends that this dire scenario can be averted, but only if we fundamentally rethink AI. Russell starts by delving into the concept of intelligence in both humans and machines. He highlights the immediate advantages we can anticipate, ranging from sophisticated personal assistants to drastically accelerated scientific discovery, and delineates the crucial AI advancements needed before we achieve superhuman capabilities. He also articulates the ways in which humans are already misusing AI, from autonomous weapons to harmful viral actions.
Should the expected breakthroughs materialize and superhuman AI arise, we will have birthed entities far more powerful than ourselves. How can we guarantee they never hold sway over us? Russell proposes that we can reconstruct AI on a new basis, where machines are designed to be inherently uncertain about the human preferences they seek to fulfill. Such machines would be humble, selfless, and focused on pursuing our objectives rather than their own. This new paradigm would enable us to create machines that are demonstrably deferential and conclusively beneficial.
