Summary

Geoffrey Hinton, a foundational figure in deep learning, outlines the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence and explains why digital intelligence may soon surpass biological intelligence in efficiency and scale. He argues that super-intelligent machines cannot be guaranteed to remain subservient and that human survival depends on technical alignment and robust global regulation. This work serves as a high-level call to arms for policymakers to demand transparency and accountability from frontier AI developers to mitigate catastrophic outcomes. Hinton's transition from industry leader to safety advocate marks a significant shift in the discourse regarding frontier AI capabilities and long-term safety.

Smarter Than Us is his long-awaited call to arms. As he shows, only by fully understanding how AI works, can you see how dangerous it is becoming. Here he equips us with the scientific knowledge we urgently need. Grounding his arguments in neuroscience and computer science, he explains why we cannot expect super-intelligent machines to remain subservient to us. AI, he argues, will change our view of our place in the universe as much as the Copernican or Darwinian revolutions. We must prepare for a future where our achievements are eclipsed by those of our creations. Survival depends not on dominating these systems, but on ensuring they care about our wellbeing. The future is uncertain, but we can shape it through our choices, including demanding governments regulate, and tech companies behave transparently and accountably. Deeply authoritative, persuasive, and humane, Smarter Than Us sets out what we can do while we are still in control. © Geoffrey Hinton 2027 (P) Penguin Audio 2027 onISBN: 9781837314881ISBN-10: 1837314888Available: 30th March 2027Format: Digital AudiobookLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Penguin Books LtdDuration: 00:00:00You Can Find This Audiobook InNon-FictionComputing & I.T.Computer ScienceArtificial IntelligenceScienceScience in GeneralImpact of Science & Technology on SocietySociety & CultureSocial Issues & ProcessesSocial ForecastingMore in Artificial IntelligenceSee All DIGITAL AUDIOThe Psychology of Artificial IntelligenceDigital Audiobook$24.99Pre-OrderDIGITAL AUDIOArtificial Intelligence and Animal EcologyA ReviewDigital Audiobook$32.25Pre-OrderDIGITAL AUDIOAI ExplainedA Guide for Non-Technical ReadersDigital Audiobook$32.99Pre-OrderDIGITAL AUDIOA Way with WordsWhy Language Makes Humans IrreplaceableDigital Audiobook$36.99Pre-OrderDIGITAL AUDIOHBR's 10 Must Reads 2027: The Definitive Management Ideas of the Year from Harvard Business Review(featuring "The Hidden Beliefs That Hold Leaders Back" by Muriel M.
