Editorial Reviews

"A great resource for anyone who wants to understand AI and to use it humanely."

Steve Omohundro

"A clear, actionable guide for safer and more ethical AI."

Jaan Tallinn

"Nell Watson has written the magisterial work on AI risk, including AI's encoded human warts, its relentlessly algorithmic amorality, and our inadequate means of taming it. A complete and compelling work."

Max Borders

"In this sweeping overview of the potential promises and perils of AI, Nell Watson masterfully combines a detailed understanding of the underlying technology and approaches being used to develop AI capabilities."
