The Coming Wave

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An urgent warning of the unprecedented risks that AI and other fast-developing technologies pose to global order, and how we might contain them while we have the chance—from a co-founder of the pioneering artificial intelligence company DeepMind and current CEO of Microsoft AI. A fascinating, well-written, and important book, according to Yuval Noah Harari, and described as essential reading by Daniel Kahneman. Bill Gates called it his favorite book on AI. The book discusses looming technological changes that will greatly affect life, governance, and global order. It explores the "containment problem", the challenge of maintaining control over powerful technologies, as a crucial dilemma of our time.
