Since then, the AI race has only intensified. Companies and countries are rushing to build machines that will be smarter than any person. And the world is devastatingly unprepared for what would come next.<br \/>\nFor decades, two signatories of that letter\u2014Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares\u2014have studied how smarter-than-human intelligences will think, behave, and pursue their objectives. Their research says that sufficiently smart AIs will develop goals of their own that put them in conflict with us\u2014and that if it comes to conflict, an artificial superintelligence would crush us. The contest wouldn\u2019t even be close.<br \/>\nHow could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Why would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.<br \/>\n<strong>The world is racing to build something truly new under the sun.
