It is well-suited to public policy makers tasked with finding solutions, and to citizens interested in the big picture behind the issues.” — Duncan Cass-Beggs, Executive Director of the Global AI Risk Initiative at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)\nWe are living in a world of rapid change and technological progress.\nArtificial intelligence is poised to be the most significant development to affect our lives now, and in the coming years. More powerful than nuclear bombs and as impactful as electricity, fire, and oil rolled into one, advanced AI might bring us untold wonders but it could also be a threat to our jobs, our relationships, and our place in the world.\nIs artificial intelligence dangerous? How does artificial intelligence work? Will artificial intelligence take over?\nUncontrollable uses engaging analogies and relatable examples to summarize AI for beginners, and unpacks AI risk and safety for readers without a technical background.\nUncontrollable examines artificial intelligence as a concept and technology, describes what AI is, how image generators and language models work, and how we don’t fully understand what is happening in these AI systems. It provides evidence to show that artificial superintelligence presents a risk to humanity, and demonstrates that it will be very difficult to understand, control, or align as it rapidly increases in capabilities and becomes more integrated into how we work, live, and play. We are not prepared.\n\nYet, we can be. Uncontrollable clearly communicates the urgency to act now and provides concrete suggestions for society and concerned citizens to create a safer future with AI.\n\nUncontrollable is a first-of-its-kind publication and call to arms to address the defining issue of our time.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CNNYKVH1\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0CNNYKVH1.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McKee, Darren\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
