Humanity has never faced a greater intelligence than itself. However, within a few years, we will begin living alongside an artificial intelligence vastly superior to our own. AI promises a fabulous future for all, the next great era of human existence, but the peril is nothing less than the potential destruction of civilization. Navigating the fine line between achieving the best of AI, while managing existential risks, is the most difficult management challenge humanity has ever faced.
Artificial General Intelligence: Promises and Perils discusses the current status of AGI, and provides recommendations for the future, regarding regulations concerning the creation, licensing, use, implementation and governance of AGI. The book explores the views of 55 AGI experts and thought leaders from the US, China, UK, Canada, EU, and Russia, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Bill Gates, on 22 critical questions. It analyzes these views to create a list of potential regulations and global governance systems or models for the safe emergence of AGI, rated and commented on by an international panel of futurists, diplomats, international lawyers, philosophers, scientists and other experts from 47 countries.
Elevating the dialogue around artificial general intelligence, this book equips both everyday readers and key decision-makers to navigate the crucial choices ahead.
