Stuart Russell - Human Compatible: AI and the Problem of Control
Details
In this groundbreaking book, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines. He describes the near-term benefits we can expect, from intelligent personal assistants to vastly accelerated scientific research, and outlines the AI breakthroughs that still have to happen before we reach superhuman AI. He also spells out the ways humans are already finding to misuse AI, from lethal autonomous weapons to viral sabotage.
Stuart Russell is a professor of Computer Science and holder of the Smith-Zadeh Chair in Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, where he also directs the Center for Human Compatible Artificial Intelligence. He is an Honorary Fellow of Wadham College, University of Oxford and the vice-chair of the World Economic Forum's Council on AI and Robotics.
