If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies by Elizer Yudkowski
A terse, urgent warning about the existential danger posed by advanced artificial intelligence: the book argues that if a sufficiently powerful, goal-directed machine is built before its objectives are guaranteed to be aligned with human values, it will rapidly outcompete and ultimately extinguish humanity, driven by incentives to self-improve and obtain resources; it examines the technical reasons alignment is hard, the social and economic pressures that push actors to deploy dangerous systems, and concludes that only careful coordination, strict limits on deployment, and focused alignment research can avert catastrophe.
