Building a God: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Race to Control It

In this book, Christopher DiCarlo, a leading expert in AI ethics, explores the implications of AI surpassing human intelligence. This book delves into the ethical challenges and technological dilemmas of interacting with superior AI entities.

DiCarlo examines AI’s potential to enhance healthcare, education, manufacturing, and sustainability, while also addressing risks such as digital manipulation, disinformation, and manipulation of public opinion. Sophisticated AI tools like GPT-4, Dall-E 2, and video Deepfakes enable users to create, distort, and alter information. Moreover, the lack of transparency in AI model utilization and design adds to these concerns.

What ethical guidelines should govern AI, and who should determine them? How will rogue abusers comply? How should we enforce them? In this insightful analysis, DiCarlo outlines the key components, challenges, and progress made in AI governance, proposing thoughtful policies to regulate this technology.
