What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? In his new book - Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies - Professor Bostrom explores these questions, laying the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. Q&A will follow the talk.
