Description
"Today's 'machine-learning' systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. When the systems we attempt to teach will not, in the end, do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. Researchers call this the alignment problem. In Brian Christian's riveting account, we meet the alignment problem's 'first-responders,' and learn their ambitious plan to solve it before our hands are completely off the wheel."--Page 4 of cover.
