Summary

"Delving into the deeply enigmatic nature of Artificial Intelligence (AI), 'AI: Unpredictable, Unexplainable, Uncontrollable' explores the various reasons why the field is so challenging. Written by one of the founders of the field of AI safety, this book addresses some of the most fascinating questions facing humanity, including the nature of Intelligence, Consciousness, Values and Knowledge. Moving from a broad introduction to the core problems, such as the unpredictability of AI outcomes or the difficulty in explaining AI decisions, this book arrives at more complex questions of ownership and control, conducting an in-depth analysis of potential hazards and unintentional consequences. The book then concludes with philosophical and existential considerations, probing into questions of AI personhood, consciousness and the distinction between human intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Bridging the gap between technical intricacies and philosophical musings, 'AI: Unpredictable, Unexplainable, Uncontrollable' appeals to both AI experts and enthusiasts looking for a comprehensive understanding of the field, whilst also being written for a general audience with minimal technical jargon"-- Provided by publisher.
