Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies

- "Going Infinite", by Michael Lewis - "Speed & Scale", John Doerr - "Superintelligence", by Nick Bostrom All great reads, strongly recommended.

Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom. Don't read this before you go to bed though. lolz

- Rationality From AI to Zombies (huge collection of essays about (rationality,intelligence,quantum physics,bayesian probability,philosophy...) that can be read on lesswrong.com) -Intuition Pumps and other Thinking Tools -Sapiens -Edward.O Wilson Letters to a young scientist -Cédric Villani Birth of a Theorem -Emanuel Derman Models Behaving Badly -Letters From A Stoic by Seneca -Mathematics it's contents methods 3 Volumes (Aleksandrov et al.) -Nick Bostrom Superinteligence -The Moral Animal by Robert Wright

I would love to hear more commentary on Bostrom. From the parts I've heard (in podcasts - still haven't read the book), it is a lot of talking about technology that is nowhere near where we are today, and thus (to me), a waste of time. But I am open to being convinced otherwise...

I'd spend my money on these two: - The Emotion Machine by Minsky - Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom

The book is interesting, but the level of detail he goes into in some of his speculation is completely unjustified. It's kind of ridiculous. "There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about." - von Neumann

There is lots of content in this book but there is no practical technical content in this book. Interesting philosophy. Much of AI philosophy is done by extremely non-practitioners. John Searle can't code. Nick Bostrom came to coding extremely late in life. Geoffrey Hinton and the other ex-PDP folks wrote some philosophy papers, though, which are of interest if you like the philosophy.

Superintelligence by nick bostrom. It's a book that explores how superintelligence could emerge, the different ways it can take off and what it means to us as humans. More importantly, the book takes on the difficult task of figuring out ways to make sure the AI is safe and not land up in the wrong hands. Pretty interesting read that doesnt really require technical know-how.

Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom, one of the leading minds analysing and developing AI as it relates to human civilisation.

"Superintelligence" by Nick Bostrom was the most interesting book I read this year. It provides a comprehensive but accessible summary of the research on the ethics and security aspects of prospective general artificial intelligence. If you have ever enjoyed reading the Lesswrong wiki or any of the readings from MIRI/SIAI, this book provides a really great summary.
