Part I. Ghosts in the machine. Introduction : before it's too late ; Mind and machine : a very brief history of AI
The insular world of AI's tribes
A thousand paper cuts : AI's unintended consequences
Part II. Our futures. From here to artificial superintelligence : the warning signs ; Thriving in the third age of computing : the optimistic scenario ; Learning to live with millions of paper cuts : the pragmatic scenario ; The Réngōng Zhìnéng Dynasty : the catastrophic scenario
Part III. Solving the problems. Pebbles and boulders : how to fix AI's future
In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI - the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself - is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don't share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity
