Description

A Futuristic Approach

Summary

This foundational text explores the engineering of AI safety and the long-term governance of systems that surpass human cognitive abilities. It addresses extreme risks including human extinction and provides a technical framework for AI-completeness, machine ethics, and the confinement of superintelligent agents. The work is significant for its early formalization of 'AI safety engineering' as a distinct discipline necessary to mitigate catastrophic outcomes from self-improving software. It remains a key reference for global policy frameworks focused on frontier AI alignment and the existential implications of the intelligence explosion.

Many philosophers, futurists, and AI researchers have conjectured that human-level AI will be developed in the next 20 to 200 years. If these predictions are correct, it raises new and sinister issues related to our future in the age of intelligent machines. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach directly addresses these issues and consolidates research aimed at making sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity.While specific predictions regarding the consequences of superintelligent AI vary from potential economic hardship to the complete extinction of humankind, many researchers agree that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach discusses key topics such as:AI-Completeness theory and how it can be used to see if an artificial intelligent agent has attained human level intelligenceMethods for safeguarding the invention of a superintelligent system that could theoretically be worth trillions of dollarsSelf-improving AI systems: definition, types, and limitsThe science of AI safety engineering, including machine ethics and robot rightsSolutions for ensuring safe and secure confinement of superintelligent systemsThe future of superintelligence and why long-term prospects for humanity to remain as the dominant species on Earth are not greatArtificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach is designed to become a foundational text for the new science of AI safety engineering. AI researchers and students, computer security researchers, futurists, and philosophers should find this an invaluable resource.
