书籍简介：

'All of us – not only scientists, industrialists and generals-should ask ourselves what can we do now to improve the chances of reaping the benefits of future AI and avoiding the risks. This is the most important conversation of our time, and Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it' Stephen Hawking We stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society-and, even, our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionize our collective future – and there's nobody better situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. In this deeply researched and vitally important new book, Tegmark takes us to the heart of thinking about AI and the human condition, bringing us face to face with the essential questions of our time. How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether? Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time, guiding us through the most controversial issues around AI today — from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos. What sort of future do you want?

书友短评：

@ Jerry 提出生命3.0的概念，即硬件和软件都可以升级的生命。对人工智能的未来突破较为乐观，但也探讨了在低就业的社会中，给每个没有工作的人提供基本收入，还假设了极权主义等各种可能的情况。第八章“意识”也写得很好。第40页John McCarthy提出artificial intelligence的概念。第96-97页认为flash crash不是由计算机故障导致的，而是预期被违反所导致的。区分了validation和verfication。重要的是系统所依赖的假设是否valid。 @ R 有趣的讨论，cosmos这部分小硬核值得再读一遍。
