The Coming Wave

Résumé du livre

Mustafa Suleyman has been at the cutting-edge of AI research and development since the early 2000s. In 2010, he founded DeepMind, one of the world’s most successful AI companies. He is currently the vice president of AI product management and AI policy at Google.

Power, as Mustafa Suleyman explains, is the ability to act, and technology embodies this power by enabling action and influence. The next wave of technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, will democratize access to powerful tools, empowering individuals to create expert-level content or even manipulate DNA with minimal resources. While these tools offer immense potential, such as aiding in personal and professional tasks or revolutionizing healthcare, they also present significant risks. Malicious actors could exploit AI for disinformation or cyberattacks, and genetic engineering could lead to dangerous biological creations. This redistribution of power challenges the state’s ability to ensure safety, a cornerstone of its legitimacy. History shows that technological progress often brings unintended consequences, as seen with the printing press and social media, and efforts to suppress disruptive technologies have largely failed. The rapid pace of AI and biotech development outstrips regulatory efforts, raising urgent questions about managing risks without stifling innovation. Suleyman’s *The Coming Wave* highlights the critical need for public engagement and thoughtful governance to navigate this transformative era.
