Author Darren McKee is pleased to announce the upcoming release of his new book, Uncontrollable: The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World, an accessible and actionable guide on AI risk and safety for beginners.
Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) has become the defining issue of our time, and its rapid unregulated development presents an extinction-level threat to humans.
Uncontrollable explores the power and peril of advanced AI using compelling analogies suitable for diverse audiences. The book serves as a call to arms, and provides a clear, comprehensive account of the current state of AI development, while inspiring action for a better future. Readers and concerned citizens can expect to receive actionable suggestions to personally contribute to the improvement of AI safety.
“This book is the culmination of years of detailed analysis on developments in AI,” said McKee. “There is a significant disconnect between the rapidly increasing capabilities of advanced AI systems and the public’s understanding of them. My objective with this book is to empower any and all citizens to take action to ensure safe AI systems are built, and that we all have a say in the type of future we want to build.”
