An urgent warning of the unprecedented risks that a wave of fast-developing technologies poses to global order, and how we might contain them while we have the chance - from a cofounder of the pioneering artificial intelligence company DeepMind. "A fascinating, well-written, and important book." - Yuval Noah Harari "Essential reading." - Daniel Kahneman"An excellent guide for navigating unprecedented times." - Bill Gates. We are about to cross a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change. Soon we will live surrounded by AIs. They will carry out complex tasks - operating businesses, producing unlimited digital content, running core government services and maintaining infrastructure. This will be a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.
