How will artificial intelligence influence crime, warfare, justice, employment, society, and our core identity as humans? The emergence of AI has the capability to reshape our future more significantly than any prior technology—and there’s no one better equipped to navigate this future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who has been instrumental in popularizing research on ensuring AI’s benefits.

How can we enhance our prosperity through automation without causing individuals to struggle with income or sense of purpose? What guidance should we provide today’s youth regarding their careers? How can we design future AI systems to be more reliable so that they perform as intended without failures, malfunctions, or vulnerabilities to hacking? Should we be concerned about a race to develop lethal autonomous weapons? Is there a possibility that machines will surpass us in every task, displacing humans in the workforce and possibly beyond? Will AI enable life to thrive in unprecedented ways, or will it bestow upon us more power than we can safely manage?

What kind of future do you envision? This book invites you to partake in what could be the most significant conversation of our era. It embraces a diverse array of perspectives and addresses the most contentious topics—from superintelligence to the concepts of meaning, consciousness, and the ultimate limits of existence in the universe.
