إذا بناه أحد سيموت الجميع: متى سيقضي الذكاء الاصطناعي على البشرية؟

A book that achieved best sales upon its release, according to the New York Times The intense competition to create super-AI has put us on the path to extinction, but it is not too late to change course, as two of the field's first researchers demonstrate in this resounding call to humanity. “This book may prove to be the most important book of our time.” - Tim Urban, Wait But Why. In 2023, hundreds of AI pioneers signed an open letter warning that AI poses a grave risk of human extinction. Since then, the AI ​​race has intensified. Companies and countries are racing to build machines that will be smarter than any human. The world is catastrophically unprepared for what comes next. For decades, two of the signatories of that letter — Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares — have studied how superintelligence systems would think, how they would behave, and how they would pursue their goals. Their research suggests that superintelligent AIs will develop their own goals that will bring them into conflict with us, and if that conflict erupts, superintelligent AI will crush us. The competition will never be equal. How could a superhuman AI wipe out our entire species? Why would he want that? Would he want anything at all? In this important book, Yudkowski and Soares review theory and evidence, present a possible extinction scenario, and explain what it will take for humanity to survive. The world is racing to build something completely new under the sun. If anyone succeeds in building it, everyone will perish. “This is the best simple, straightforward explanation of the AI ​​risk problem I've ever read,” says Yishan Wong, former CEO of Reddit.
