This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if we succeed in creating superintelligent AI? Renowned AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that humanity’s current approach to building artificial intelligence is a dead end. In Human Compatible, he explains that by building machines to optimize fixed objectives, we risk creating entities that are incredibly competent but disastrously misaligned with true human values. This is the modern King Midas problem: we might get exactly what we ask for, leading to our own ruin. This audiobook summary unpacks Russell's groundbreaking solution. Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes. This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours. You’ll learn about the flaws of the standard model of AI and the dangers of instrumental goals, like a machine's drive for self-preservation. Most importantly, you will understand the three principles for developing provably beneficial machines—AI that is uncertain about our objectives, deferential to our guidance, and learns our preferences by observing our behavior. If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most. This version delivers all the practical takeaways you need to put into action right away.
