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.

From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. That’s a mistake, Tim Harford says in The Data Detective. We shouldn’t be suspicious of statistics - we need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us”.

Publisher's summary
Audie Award, Business/Personal Development, 2017.
After billions of dollars and 50 years of effort, researchers are finally cracking the code on artificial intelligence. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented change, Jerry Kaplan unpacks the latest advances in robotics, machine learning, and perception powering systems that rival or exceed human capabilities.
Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure - but, as Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He proposes innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. His timely and accessible analysis of the promise and perils of artificial intelligence is a must-listen for business leaders and policy makers on both sides of the aisle.

Misleading title, more about wealth distribution
What would have made Humans Need Not Apply better?
Its not a book about AI, its about the authors ideas about how the super rich should have their wealth distributed. He is right on one respect the influence of AI on the job market will keep shrinking the total number of available jobs, but 90% of this book is his scheme to redistribute the wealth of the super rich.
What could Jerry Kaplan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Jerry is obviously a smart guy, and he sees the changes that are inevitably coming to how people get employed, but it's a totally misleading title. The book is almost all about his scheme to redistribute the wealth of the super rich who are implementing this AI to build the wealth, then strategies for dealing with it on a personal scale. I don't think his ideas are totally wrong, but I don't think he gives you any good ideas on how to deal with it on a personal level.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Narrator was good, I really enjoy the narrator but the content just made me really upset for purchasing this book
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
if you managed to listen carefully enough past the income distribution scheme that Jerry is pontificating about, I think Jerry accurately describes what will happen to the jobs of most unskilled and a lot of skilled labor.

Good but a little slanted
The author does a great job of outlining the pros and the cons of the effects of the future of AI. The effects on the economy and job markets will be more than what we think and it doesn't have to be scenes from the terminator. However, there is a substantial section devoted to some disconnected economic theories that don't belong here. Too many assumptions about what people are and are not willing to do if they didn't work and the alleged value of it.

A must read to understand the coming AI shift.
An entertaining and thought provoking look into the logical and inevitable future when artificial intelligence is part of our every day lives, making decisions for us. You probably wonder - What will it be like?
If you have a car, you already know.
Your ABS breaks are a form of artificial intelligence algorithm that take your decision making power away from you. You slam on the brake, but the computer only takes that as a suggestion to stop. The computer prioritizes a controlled over stopping time/distance to stop.
The book starts with an eye opening summary of the existing algorithms that already make decisions for us like what to watch or listen to, posts to read online, what route to take driving home, and even what price to pay for products.
We then teleport into the future and learn about the moral and logistical challenges of owning AI autonomous helpers that will be able to act as our agents.
TIP: incorporate your AI servant as it's own entity to be indemnified in case it gets into an accident or commits a crime, the same way taxi companies do today.
How will the legal system in the future cope with AI servants and autonomous driving cars? For that we get a history lesson in slavery, the "corporations are people" lobbyist movement, and some musings on how the legal system might shift to adapt to autonomous AI corporate agents.
There's a very informative and educational history of Amazon and Jeff Bezos, explaining how they are already using artificial intelligence to optimize every aspect of shopping - from robots replacing people, to deep learning algorithms determining how much you will pay for a TV at 5 am vs 10 pm, based on your recent shopping history, your demographics and your search history.
There's a whole section on the economics of how we will be affected by AI depreciating the majority of simple jobs like driving, serving, construction, etc.
The author proposes and interesting shift in the value of jobs vs being productive in society, and explores how our lives might change dramatically if the government takes a proactive approach to compensating for the coming exodus of human jobs with creative financial stimulus programs.
That's just a sample of the artificial intelligence juiciness in this book. A must read for futurists & early technology adopters.

Title Should be "Boogy Man a Comin'"
Couple salient points and does bring up some issues to consider. I bought a hard copy for citation reference in my real AI research. However, few of the interesting elements are part of the central narrative. From chapter 8 on this is mainly a marketing pitch for income redistribution. Ironically, the author attributes negative consequences to machine behavior that he then advocates for as a human response (i.e., social behavioral engineering through political policy). Some projections have already faltered, so some of this opinion piece has become dated.

I didn't get to the end
the authors belief in freemarket capitalism being some great levelling force in a scenario where much of what it involves becomes obsolete makes this unlistenable for me.
we are at the edge of a world where post scarcity and UBI is possible. but I don't know if it's the American centric view of the author or just a neoliberal lens that he is talking through. but this book really isn't for me.

The American dream?
Little encouragement here for mankind. ( an oxymoron?) . Once, some of us thought Artificial Intelligence might provide a tool to help us understand how our brains worked. How to understand how we could pick up our glass of beer or notice the glass was getting empty. But now? its "lets make more money" for the few and bugger the rest. I wish I could live long enough to see Kaplan's predictions.

Acclaimed historian Lewis Lehrman, in his path-breaking comparison of both statesmen, finds that Lincoln and Churchill - with very different upbringings and contrasting personalities - led their war efforts, to some extent, in similar ways. As supreme war lords, they were guided not only by principles of honor, duty, freedom, but also by the practical wisdom to know when, where, and how to apply these principles. They made mistakes which Lehrman considers carefully. But the author emphasizes that, despite setbacks, they never gave up.

Story
Artificial Intelligence is likely to greatly increase our aggregate wealth, but it will also upend our labor markets, reshuffle our social order, and strain our private and public institutions. Eventually it may alter how we see our place in the universe, as machines pursue goals independent of their creators and outperform us in domains previously believed to be the sole dominion of humans.

The deep-learning revolution has brought us driverless cars, the greatly improved Google Translate, fluent conversations with Siri and Alexa, and enormous profits from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep-learning networks can play poker better than professional poker players and defeat a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski explains how deep learning went from being an arcane academic field to a disruptive technology in the information economy.

Story
Acclaimed historian Lewis Lehrman, in his path-breaking comparison of both statesmen, finds that Lincoln and Churchill - with very different upbringings and contrasting personalities - led their war efforts, to some extent, in similar ways. As supreme war lords, they were guided not only by principles of honor, duty, freedom, but also by the practical wisdom to know when, where, and how to apply these principles. They made mistakes which Lehrman considers carefully. But the author emphasizes that, despite setbacks, they never gave up.
