具体描述
The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains.If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species then would come to depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.But we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed AI or otherwise to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?To get closer to an answer to this question, we must make our way through a fascinating landscape of topics and considerations. Read the book and learn about oracles, genies, singletons; about boxing methods, tripwires, and mind crime; about humanitys cosmic endowment and differential technological development; indirect normativity, instrumental convergence, whole brain emulation and technology couplings; Malthusian economics and dystopian evolution; artificial intelligence, and biologicalcognitive enhancement, and collective intelligence.This profoundly ambitious and original book picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain. Yet the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostroms work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

##看标题还以为是那种媒体里常见的吸引眼球标题党然后不负责任地胡说八道一通的书。看内容发现还是比较中肯地陈述和分析的。 不过有些内容也比较空洞。比如连 AI 或者超级 AI 是否可能，以及会以什么样的形态出现都没搞清楚的情况下讨论 AI 出现的过程会有多快之类的问题就很没有着力点的感觉。到后面的部分就觉得有些无聊很快扫过了。
##AI的哲学思考，第一遍啃下来部分没懂，看懂的部分觉得很有道理。有空再来啃一遍。
##3.5
##就是喜欢开脑洞和关于未来的书。不知道会不会在有生之年等来这一刻。

##“The fact that there are many paths that lead to superintelligence should increase our confidence that we will eventually get there.” “It would be a society of economic miracles and technological awesomeness, with nobody there to benefit. A Disneyland without children.”
##有点枯燥，没看完
##呵呵呵
