Review: Very insightful read. Grossly over simplifying it here, but Russell essentially reassures us that we should not worry about becoming the cautionary tale of another Black Mirror episode, so long as we're able to effectively apply control measures to future AI systems ???? whether or not you feel confident about that premise is your decision, but hey ho, suppose we won't have to wait too long to find out if we've created our own demise anyway! There's a handy appendices at the back explaining core concepts of contemporary AI systems which is useful. Brilliant for people familiar in the field, not so sure about the causal reader unless you have a background in mathematics/engineering etc.

Review: I don't understand why a computer scientist starts to mix science with politics. This tries to be a woke book as well. Promoting vegetarianism, belittling meat-eaters, climate control topics, etc. That is one thing. Don't promote your socialism or social control, or your political propaganda in AI books. Secondly, having Ph.D. in computer science and AI, the suggested main solution - namely the three principles - is rather infantile. To be honest, reading this book was a total waste of time. I regret it.
