The existential threat of superintelligent AI

IF ANYONE BUILDS IT, EVERYONE DIES — THE CASE AGAINST SUPERINTELLIGENT AI

- Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nate Soares

IN THE Case Against Superintelligent AI, authors Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares present a compelling and urgent argument against the unchecked development of artificial superintelligence.

Drawing on their extensive backgrounds in AI risk, they articulate a chilling vision of a future where humanity's quest for smarter machines could lead to our own extinction. The book is a warning, urging readers to reconsider the implications of creating entities that could surpass human intelligence.

Yudkowsky and Soares do not shy away from the gravity of their claims.

They liken the pursuit of superintelligent AI to a “global suicide bomb,” a metaphor that starkly illustrates the potential consequences of our current trajectory.

The authors argue that while the technology behind AI is undeniably complex, the risks associated with its advancement are alarmingly straightforward.
