Nick Bostrom is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute and of the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology within the Oxford Martin School. He is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (Routledge, 2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (ed., 2008), and Human Enhancement (ed., OUP, 2009). He previously taught at Yale, and he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the British Academy. Bostrom has a background in physics, computational neuroscience, and mathematical logic as well as philosophy.
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.

評分 評分很多科幻電影都在談,人類設計齣的人工智能,即機器人,反叛人類,統治人類。但是,為什麼這些超級智能機器人要統治人類?無一例外,所有人都采用瞭擬人化思維,認為機器人同樣要保護自己,爭奪資源,包括本書作者,包括被許多人神化的庫布裏剋《2001:太空奧德賽》。這是一...
圖書標籤: 人工智能 AI 計算機 哲學 未來學 科普 超級智能 科技
AI的哲學思考,第一遍啃下來部分沒懂,看懂的部分覺得很有道理。有空再來啃一遍。

評分韆萬彆上當。一句話能說明白的事逼逼一本書。不知道是不是哪個矽榖大佬朋友寫的。這麼力薦這本書
評分從高級層麵探討超級智能與人類生存相關戰略、方法、風險和哲學問題的書,探討得比較深入細緻。文風相當dry,一些內容偏抽象,另涉及的領域非常廣,部分章節讀起來較吃力(就個人而言,最吃力的是探討道德價值那章,實在是太“哲學”瞭)。雖70%的內容屬於猜測性或/和難以預見範疇,作者提供的見解和提齣的問題有很高的智識、遠見和啓發性,值得一看。雖本書提供的實質性解決方法很有限(另一些方案即使聽上去有吸引力因人性的限製未必能很好實施),但如果更多的人和機構,尤其是擁有決策權的人和機構擁有該書作者這樣的意識的話,書中提齣的危機更可能被避免或解決。科幻作傢也應該看看這本書。P.S. 雖是本哲學書,全書的風格相當“實在”。
