Description: The Coming WaveThe instant Sunday Times bestseller from the ultimate AI insiderBy Mustafa Suleyman The rapid advancement of technology poses unprecedented risks to global order, alarming the cofounder of DeepMind, a pioneering AI company. Mustafa Suleyman warns that our world is on the brink of a critical threshold where everything is about to change.Suleyman envisions a future where artificial intelligences (AIs) are prevalent in our daily lives. These advanced AI systems will be responsible for executing complex tasks such as managing businesses, generating limitless digital content, operating essential government services, and maintaining critical infrastructure. With the rise of DNA printers, quantum computers, engineered pathogens, autonomous weapons, robot assistants, and abundant energy, humanity is on the cusp of a profound leap in capability.However, despite the promising leaps in technological progress, Suleyman argues that we are ill-prepared for the ramifications of this impending revolution. As one of the cofounders of DeepMind, he recognizes that the upcoming decade will be defined by the rapid proliferation of these powerful new technologies. While they hold great potential to address global challenges and generate immense wealth, they also pose unprecedented levels of disruption.The author discusses how these forces threaten the fundamental stability of the nation-state, the building block of global order. With governments oblivious to the impending disaster, society faces an existential dilemma. On one side lies the potential for unprecedented harm due to unrestricted openness, while on the other side looms the threat of pervasive surveillance. Striking a balance between these two extremes is the key to avoiding catastrophe and dystopia.Suleyman introduces the concept of "the containment problem" as the central challenge of our time. The containment problem refers to the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies. It requires developing strategies and regulations to ensure that these technologies serve humanity's interests rather than becoming uncontrollable forces that undermine global stability.In his groundbreaking book, Suleyman draws upon his unique perspective as an AI insider to shed light on the urgency of addressing this containment problem. He emphasizes the need for proactive and thoughtful measures to steer the adoption and application of advanced technologies. Without such measures, humanity risks losing control over the very advancements that were designed to improve our lives.The author's message serves as a stark and timely warning to governments, policymakers, and society as a whole. It is crucial to recognize the immense potential and risks associated with the rapid development of technology. As the world hurtles towards a future replete with powerful AI systems and transformative technologies, it is imperative to navigate this new era with prudence, foresight, and a strong commitment to ensuring that these tools remain under human control.Suleyman's book challenges readers to contemplate the profound impact of emerging technologies and their potential consequences. By shining a light on the importance of addressing the containment problem, he underscores the responsibility that rests on our shoulders to shape the future in a way that preserves both global order and individual liberties.
