Story
Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Story
In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this groundbreaking audiobook, 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.

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on the Higgs boson and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions. Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void?

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.

Story
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.

Publisher's Summary
How will artificial intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society, and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology - and there's nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.
How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today's kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning, or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle?
What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. It doesn't shy away from the full range of viewpoints or from the most controversial issues - from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness, and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos.

This performance bit is driving me crazy
1) It's "h tee tee pee colon slash slash" not "h tee tee pee colon backslash backslash" - how do the voice over artist and editors not know the difference between a slash and a backslash?
2) The last time I heard someone make the mistake of including the protocol (http://) in a URL when verbally referring to a URL was in the 90s.
It might be helpful to find someone a little more in touch with technology to voice such a technology-heavy book.

One of the best books out there in AI and the future of machine intelligence. Hugely helpful in this format is the stellar narration by Rob Shapiro. Similarly important books like Superintelligence and The Singularity is Near were so poorly narrates that I found them impossible to get through. Great job.

Overall an awesome AudioBook!
Starting with the negatives, sometimes the book felt a little redundant as some points seemed obvious after others were already stated. Or in some cases things were straight up stated multiple times.
That said, overall I found the subject matter very fascinating, and also pretty damn worrisome for the future of mankind. But in all honesty, it's been worrying since before listening to this AudioBook, so that's nothing new.
Definitely recommend. It's a book for everyone and anyone curious about what tomorrow might bring.

I struggled to get through this one. An interesting topic but unfortunately lumbered with clunky writing and endless name dropping. A better title would be 'memoirs of an AI safety researcher'.

Odd book with some good info
This is a odd book that seems to be lobbying the reader to accept, and get involved in, the AI Safety movement. There are lots of interesting ideas, many make sense, some are kind of odd. Others have pointed out Tegmark seems to believe it is both likely (and preferable) that we are the lone civilization in all the universe. It seems this is because if this distance between civilizations was small we certainly would have noticed other civilizations. I am not convinced.
As others have noted there is a lot of name dropping and self-congratulation in this book.
The author admits he is an unapologetic optimist which influences his writing in quite a few places. I prefer realists to optimists or pessimists.
Nevertheless this is a worth the time and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in AI and the potential dangers involved. One of the key issues is that many AI researchers ignore the safety issues as AI is currently so weak safety does not seem to be a realistic concern. Tegmark (and others) point out that AI could transition from weak-AI to super-intelligent AI in just a few hours or days. Thus thinking about AI Safety now is a good idea.
The narration is quite good with somewhat tricky material.

An accessible book on AI that left me optimistic
I loved the weaving of the realistic fictional story into the beginning of book, and i also appreciate that Tegmark is actively working on these issues of ai safety which made me optimistic by the end of the book (which is not usually the feeling I have at the end of a book like this).

This book is important.
After finishing my first listen I'm excited to dive right back in for a second. This book reached me at a level that few other books have. Do not wait to listen to this book. If you don't have an interest in AI at all, this will quickly help you understand why you should. If you're already interested, it will provide an excellent framework for the whole AI conversation around you. It has helped fit the latest AI news into a broader context.

Trop centré sur l'ai et ne relativise pas beaucoup
L'histoire des omégas et de Promotheus est la partie la plus intéressante. Je trouve qu'il ressort du livre une impression globale de pessimisme. L'ai ne peut être que bénéfique. Il aurait fallut relativiser plus les arguments. D'autant plus que les extrapolations de l'auteur lui permettant d'imaginer ce que serait le future de l'humanité avec des ia, reposent sur nos connaissances actuelles de loi de la physique qui peuvent clairement évoluer.

First of all it is very complete - it talks about the definitions, current progress, applications, ethics, predictions...
It is very balanced - the author uses well defined but generic definitions, which are always explained and the differences covered. He also tries to always include the arguments from all sides of the environment and doesn't push the reader to believe in any particular idea he has.
It's modern and applicable, with all the names and places, plus suggestions of the ways everyone can help and adapt, plus information how everyone can be soon affected.
Many things in Life 3.0 may feel abstract, as most of the discussed matters are not going to happen within our lives or maybe ever, but its packed with super interesting deliberations and problems. Obviously it gives no clear solutions though.
