The rise of the Demigod designer
God created the world with a word. If this is true, then recent developments in AI make me think that we will all become gods soon or at least demigods and that we have AI to thank (or blame) for.
Value Sensitive Design: Shaping Technology with Moral Imagination
by Batya Friedman, David G. Hendry
Using our moral and technical imaginations to create responsible innovations: theory, method, and applications for value sensitive design.
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
by Nick Bostrom
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?
The Glass Cage: How Our Computers are Changing Us
by Nicholas Carr
In The Glass Cage: How Our Computers Are Changing Us, his widely praised follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize-nominated The Shallows, bestselling author Nicholas Carr explores how our ever growing dependency on computers, apps, and robotics is reshaping our jobs, talents, and lives.
by Cathy O’Neil
We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated.
The Future Computed: Artificial Intelligence and its Role in Society
by Microsoft
In 2038, digital devices will help us do more with one of our most precious commodities: time.
