David Wood - The Singularity Principles Anticipating And Managing Paperback Book
This book is dedicated to what may be the most important concept in human history, namely, the Singularity what it is, what it is not, the steps by which we may reach it, and, crucially, how to make it more likely that well experience a positive singularity rather than a negative singularity. For now, heres a simple definition. The Singularity is the emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and the associated transformation of the human condition. Spoiler alert that transformation will be profound. But if were not paying attention, its likely to be profoundly bad. Despite the importance of the concept of the Singularity, the subject receives nothing like the attention it deserves. When it is discussed, it often receives scorn or ridicule. Alas, youll hear sniggers and see eyes rolling. Thats because theres a kind of shadow around the concept an unhelpful set of distortions that make it harder for people to fully perceive the real opportunities and the real risks that the Singularity brings. These distortions grow out of a wider confusion confusion about the complex interplay of forces that are leading society to the adoption of evermore powerful technologies, including evermore powerful AI. This book seeks to dispel the confusion, to untangle the distortions, and to attract much more serious attention to the Singularity. The future of humanity is at stake.
