We are witnessing the beginnings of a revolution. Big data - the explosion of information that digitization has sparked - is changing our world in ways we are just starting to appreciate.

A exploration of the latest trend in technology and the impact it will have on the economy, science, and society at large.

Explores the idea of big data, which refers to our new found ability to crunch vast amounts of information, analyze it instantly, and draw profound and surprising conclusions from it.

"The rise of AI must be better managed in the near term in order to mitigate longer term risks and to ensure that AI does not reinforce existing inequalities"--Publisher

AI. SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY. QUANTUM COMPUTING. Everything is about to change. This is the only book you need to understand this new world. From the ultimate AI insider, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, part of Google.'Fascinating, well-written, and important' Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens'Deeply rewarding and consistently astonishing' Stephen Fry'An excellent guide for navigating unprecedented times' Bill GatesSoon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.None of us are prepared.As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side and the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?This ground-breaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age.'A stunning book by a man at the very centre of the AI revolution' Rory Stewart'Essential reading' Daniel Kahneman

An urgent exploration of the risks posed by rapidly advancing AI and technology to global stability is presented by a co-founder of DeepMind and current CEO of Microsoft AI. The author highlights the potential dangers these innovations bring and emphasizes the need for proactive measures to mitigate their impact. Through insights and expertise, the book advocates for strategies to manage these challenges before they escalate, offering a timely perspective on the intersection of technology and global security.

Blížíme se ke kritickému bodu v historii našeho druhu. Vše se brzy změní. Brzy budete žít obklopeni umělou inteligencí. Budou organizovat váš život, řídit vaše podnikání a provozovat základní vládní služby. Budete žít ve světě tiskáren DNA a kvantových počítačů, upravených patogenů a autonomních zbraní, robotických asistentů a hojnosti energie. Nikdo z nás na to není připraven. Mustafa Suleyman je jako spoluzakladatel průkopnické společnosti DeepMind, která je součástí Googlu, v centru této revoluce. Nadcházející desetiletí bude podle něj definováno touto vlnou výkonných, rychle se šířících nových technologií. V knize The Coming Wave Suleyman ukazuje, jak tyto síly vytvoří obrovskou prosperitu, ale také ohrozí národní stát, základ globálního řádu. Zatímco naše křehké vlády spějí ke katastrofě, čelíme existenciálnímu dilematu: na jedné straně bezprecedentní škody, na druhé hrozba panovačného dohledu. Dokážeme si proklestit cestu mezi katastrofou a dystopií? Tato přelomová kniha od největšího odborníka na umělou inteligenci stanovuje „problém zadržování“ — úkol udržet kontrolu nad mocnými technologiemi - jako zásadní výzvu naší doby.
