AI entrepreneur and author
Mustafa Suleyman is the CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of DeepMind, the pioneering artificial intelligence company acquired by Google. He is the author of The Coming Wave, which examines the promises and perils of emerging technologies.
by Mustafa Suleyman
DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman argues that a coming wave of AI and synthetic biology will be the most transformative and potentially dangerous technological development in human history, and that the central challenge of our era is containment: maintaining control over technologies that trend toward proliferation and misuse. He proposes ten concrete steps for containment spanning technical safety, corporate governance, and international cooperation.
The books Mustafa Suleyman references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Nick Bostrom
Bostrom warns that once artificial intelligence surpasses human cognition, controlling it becomes nearly impossible. The real danger isn't malice but misaligned goals pursued with superhuman competence.
by Max Tegmark
Tegmark explores how artificial superintelligence could reshape civilisation. The central question is not whether AI will surpass us, but whether we can steer it towards beneficial outcomes.
by Erik Brynjolfsson
Brynjolfsson and McAfee argue digital technologies are entering an exponential phase where machines complement and displace labour in new ways. More wealth but wider inequality defines the tension.
by Shoshana Zuboff
Zuboff reveals how tech companies extract and sell predictions of human behaviour for profit. Surveillance capitalism is a new economic logic that threatens autonomy and democracy.
by Toby Ord
Ord argues that humanity has entered an unprecedented period of existential risk, estimating a roughly one-in-six chance of civilizational catastrophe this century driven chiefly by engineered pandemics and unaligned AI. He builds an ethical case, rooted in longtermist philosophy, that safeguarding humanity's long-term potential is the defining moral task of our era.
