The Velaeiyus
It was like any other spring day. The sun was shining, the air was warm with a slight breeze, and the Elizabethtown Track Team was back at it again with another week of workouts. Feet pounded on the track, solid 8 pounders sank into the grass, and bodies hit the mats with a heavy intensity. A dual meet was coming up in a couple of days, so the team was being pushed close to the breaking point. The weather, though, was gracious, as it aided the athletes’ strong pace with a relieving breeze. Amongst the demanding calls of each coach and the harshly breathing competitors, everything seemed to hold in a steadfast manor.

Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control
Praise for Human Compatible "This is the most important book I have read in quite some time. It lucidly explains how the coming age of artificial super-intelligence threatens human control. Crucially, it also introduces a novel solution and a reason for hope." --Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Nobel Prize and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow "A must-read: this intellectual tour-de-force by one of AI's true pioneers not only explains the risks of ever more powerful artificial intelligence in a captivating and persuasive way, but also proposes a concrete and promising solution." --Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0 "A thought-provoking and highly readable account of the past, present and future of AI . . . Russell is grounded in the realities of the technology, including its many limitations, and isn't one to jump at the overheated language of sci-fi . . . If you are looking for a serious overview to the subject that doesn't talk down to its non-technical readers, this is a good place to start . . . [Russell] deploys a bracing intellectual rigour . . . But a laconic style and dry humour keep his book accessible to the lay reader." --Financial Times "A carefully written explanation of the concepts underlying AI as well as the history of their development. If you want to understand how fast AI is developing and why the technology is so dangerous, Human Compatible is your guide." --TechCrunch "Sound[s] an important alarm bell . . . Human Compatible marks a major stride in AI studies, not least in its emphasis on ethics. At the book's heart, Russell incisively discusses the misuses of AI." --Nature "An AI expert's chilling warning . . . Fascinating, and significant . . . Russell is not warning of the dangers of conscious machines, just that superintelligent ones might be misused or might misuse themselves." --The Times (UK) "An excellent, nuanced history of the field." --The Telegraph (UK) "A brillantly clear and fascinating exposition of the history of computing thus far, and how very difficult true AI will be to build." --The Spectator (UK) "Human Compatible made me a convert to Russell's concerns with our ability to control our upcoming creation--super-intelligent machines. Unlike outside alarmists and futurists, Russell is a leading authority on AI. His new book will educate the public about AI more than any book I can think of, and is a delightful and uplifting read." --Judea Pearl, Turing Award-winner and author of The Book of Why "Stuart Russell has long been the most sensible voice in computer science on the topic of AI risk. And he has now written the book we've all been waiting for -- a brilliant and utterly accessible guide to what will be either the best or worst technological development in human history." --Sam Harris, author of Waking Up and host of the Making Sense podcast "This beautifully written book addresses a fundamental challenge for humanity: increasingly intelligent machines that do what we ask but not what we really intend. Essential reading if you care about our future." --Yoshua Bengio, winner of the 2019 Turing Award and co-author of Deep Learning "Authoritative [and] accessible . . . A strong case for planning for the day when machines can outsmart us." --Kirkus Reviews "The right guide at the right time for technology enthusiasts seeking to explore the primary concepts of what makes AI valuable while simultaneously examining the disconcerting aspects of AI misuse." --Library Journal "The same mix of de-mystifying authority and practical advice that Dr. Benjamin Spock once brought to the care and raising of children, Dr. Stuart Russell now brings to the care, raising, and yes, disciplining of machines. He has written the book that most--but perhaps not all--machines would like you to read." --George Dyson, author of Turing's Cathedral "Persuasively argued and lucidly imagined, Human Compatible offers an unflinching, incisive look at what awaits us in the decades ahead. No researcher has argued more persuasively about the risks of AI or shown more clearly the way forward. Anyone who takes the future seriously should pay attention." --Brian Christian, author of Algorithms to Live By "A book that charts humanity's quest to understand intelligence, pinpoints why it became unsafe, and shows how to course-correct if we want to survive as a species. Stuart Russell, author of the leading AI textbook, can do all that with the wealth of knowledge of a prominent AI researcher and the persuasive clarity and wit of a brilliant educator." --Jann Tallinn, co-founder of Skype "Can we coexist happily with the intelligent machines that humans will create? 'Yes, ' answers Human Compatible, 'but first . . .' Through a brilliant reimagining of the foundations of artificial intelligence, Russell takes you on a journey from the very beginning, explaining the questions raised by an AI-driven society and beautifully making the case for how to ensure machines remain beneficial to humans. A totally readable and crucially important guide to the future from one of the world's leading experts." --Tabitha Goldstaub, co-founder of CognitionX and Head of the UK Government's AI Council "Stuart Russell, one of the most important AI scientists of the last 25 years, may have written the most important book about AI so far, on one of the most important questions of the 21st century: How to build AI to be compatible with us. The book proposes a novel and intriguing solution for this problem, while offering many thought-provoking ideas and insights about AI along the way. An accessible and engaging must-read for the developers of AI and the users of AI--that is, for all of us." --James Manyika, chairman and director of McKinsey Global Institute "In clear and compelling language, Stuart Russell describes the huge potential benefits of artificial Intelligence, as well as the hazards and ethical challenges. It's especially welcome that a respected leading authority should offer this balanced appraisal, avoiding both hype and scaremongering." --Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and former President of the Royal Society
