We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change. Soon we'll live surrounded by AIs. They will organize our lives, operate our businesses, and run core government services. We'll live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy — and we are not prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the center of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. In The Coming Wave, he shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
How do we ensure the flourishing of humankind? How do we maintain control? How do we navigate the narrow path to a successful future? This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes "the contain-ment problem" — the task of maintaining control over powerful techno-logies — as the essential challenge of our age.
