A greyhound catching the mechanical lure--what would he actually do with it? Has he given this any thought? Bostrom\'s previous book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies changed the global conversation on AI and became a New York Times bestseller.
In such a Solved world, what is the point of human existence? What gives Meaning to life? What do we do all day? Deep Utopia shines new light on these old questions, and gives us glimpses of a different kind of existence, which might be ours in the future..
Here we confront a challenge that is not technological but philosophical and spiritual.
Furthermore, at technological maturity, human nature becomes entirely malleable.
We would thus enter a condition of post-instrumentality, in which our efforts are not needed for any practical purpose.
If this transition to the machine intelligence era goes well, human labor becomes obsolete.
But what if things go right? Suppose that we develop superintelligence safely, govern it well, and make good use of the cornucopian wealth and near magical technological powers that this technology can unlock.
It focused on what might happen if AI development goes wrong.
