Uncontrollable

The Threat of Artificial Superintelligence and the Race to Save the World
Book • 2023
Uncontrollable examines artificial intelligence as a concept and technology, describing what AI is, how image generators and language models work, and the risks associated with artificial superintelligence.

The book is divided into three parts: 'What is Happening?

' which provides an overview of the current AI landscape; 'What are the Problems?

' which details potential existential risks; and 'What can we Do?' which discusses ways to mitigate these risks.

McKee uses engaging analogies and relatable examples to make the topic accessible to readers without a technical background.

Despite its warning about the dangers of AI, the book is ultimately hopeful and provides concrete suggestions for society and citizens to create a safer future with AI.
