MUSTREAD 📚

The book "The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma" by Mustafa Suleyman, the ex-CEO of DeepMind, was released in 2023. It immediately became a bestseller. The AI expert discusses the elemental power of technologies and the new era under the sign of AI and robots.

We've gathered highlights from this book here:

🌊 On the Superwave

The coming wave is defined by two core technologies: AI and synthetic biology. <...> Unstoppable, moving inexorably towards us as we cower before its immensity, much as the dinosaurs must have done when they saw the mile-high tsunami.

The physical embodiment of AI in robots will become a huge superwave. And it is already evident that there is a need to create a global organization to regulate these technologies.

👍 On Technology Restraint

Containing technology requires a balance of power, not just among competing actors but between humans and our tools. This balance is essential for our species' survival over the next century.

⚠️ On Monsters

Humans first used technology to operate in the physical world — the world of atoms; then they worked on bits; and now they are working on creating new forms of life. Or, to put it more crudely: first, we invented mechanical muscles; now we are messing with our brains; and soon we will be doing this with our biology. However, we are in the process of creating monsters that we have no idea how to manage.

💲 On Why We Will Become Wealthy

This period will witness the fastest acceleration in prosperity growth in human history. In the next ten years, AI will emerge as an unprecedented force multiplier, potentially leading to a historic redistribution of power.

In the next decade, billions of people will have equal access to the best lawyers, doctors, etc. Everyone will have a world-class team in their pocket.
