520    "In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial 
       intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens 
       not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization 
       itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as 
       inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this 
       groundbreaking book, distinguished AI researcher Stuart 
       Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only
       if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by 
       exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in 
       machines. He describes the near-term benefits we can 
       expect, from intelligent personal assistants to vastly 
       accelerated scientific research, and outlines the AI 
       breakthroughs that still have to happen before we reach 
       superhuman AI. He also spells out the ways humans are 
       already finding to misuse AI, from lethal autonomous 
       weapons to viral sabotage. If the predicted breakthroughs 
       occur and superhuman AI emerges, we will have created 
       entities far more powerful than ourselves. How can we 
       ensure they never, ever, have power over us? Russell 
       suggests that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, 
       according to which machines are designed to be inherently 
       uncertain about the human preferences they are required to
       satisfy. Such machines would be humble, altruistic, and 
       committed to pursue our objectives, not theirs. This new 
       foundation would allow us to create machines that are 
       provably deferential and provably beneficial. In a 2014 
       editorial co-authored with Stephen Hawking, Russell wrote,
       "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in 
       human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last." 
       Solving the problem of control over AI is not just 
       possible; it is the key that unlocks a future of unlimited
       promise"--|cProvided by publisher.
