Review: ‘The Coming Wave’

The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century’s Greatest Dilemma by Mustafa Suleyman

Well, we’re screwed. Humanity, that is. Ok, maybe that’s the pessimistic view of the role of AI. We are, in actuality, cautiously optimistic about what AI can be for humanity. This book from Mustafa Suleyman is an absolute MUST-READ for anyone interested in understanding AI’s dangers and exciting potential. Mustafa Suleyman, the former head of Deep Mind and now Inflection AI, is at the forefront of technology. Still, this book is not necessarily a book about technology – this book is about humanity’s responsibility to focus on the containment of technology. AI is coming; it’s inevitable, and we need to understand what that means and what we can do about it. This book is not fear-mongering; it’s about hope, and Mr. Suleyman does a fantastic job outlining the challenges and options for humanity as the Coming Wave hits.
