In this book, subtitled "Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All", Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argue that sufficiently smart AIs will develop goals of their own that put them in conflict with us—and that if it comes to conflict, an artificial superintelligence would crush us. The contest wouldn't even be close. Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.
