Described by Kirkus Review as "A delightful, ominous, and edifying look at a menacing future," Arrival Mind was published in 2020 warn policymakers, regulators, and the general public about the looming risk of AI in a simple but powerful format that can be consumed in minutes. The book has stood the test of time, resonating more today than ever.
Arrival Mind covers a variety of dangers, from AI-powered mass surveillance and our increasing dependence on AI agents, to the Arrival Mind Paradox which postulates that the arrival of an AI superintelligence will be no less dangerous to humanity than the arrival of an advanced alien intelligence from another planet. And yet, humanity does not fear the AI threat with similar urgency.
