Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, cosmology pioneer, author of Our Final Hour The transformational consequences of AI may soon be upon us-but will they be utopian or catastrophic? The jury is out, but this enlightening, lively and accessible book by a distinguished scientist helps us to assess the odds. Bart Selman, Professor of Computer Science, Cornell University This is an exhilarating book that will change the way we think about AI, intelligence, and the future of humanity. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motorsīeing an eminent physicist and the leader of the Future of Life Institute has given Max Tegmark a unique vantage point from which to give the reader an inside scoop on the most important issue of our time, in a way that is approachable without being dumbed down.

Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy and co-author of "The Second Machine Age" If you haven't been exposed to Max's joyful mind yet, you're in for a huge treat. Max has written the most insightful and just plain fun exploration of AI's implications that I've ever read. The unprecedented power unleashed by artificial intelligence means the next decade could be humanity's best - or worst.

Max seeks to facilitate a much wider conversation about what kind of future we, as a species, would want to create.
