AI, synthetic biology, and quantum computing are set to transform our world. This insightful book by Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, provides a comprehensive understanding of these emerging technologies. Esteemed figures like Yuval Noah Harari and Bill Gates praise it as a vital guide for navigating unprecedented times. As AI becomes integral to daily life—organizing personal affairs, managing businesses, and overseeing government functions—society will also encounter DNA printers, engineered pathogens, and autonomous weapons. Suleyman emphasizes that we are unprepared for these changes. He argues that the next decade will be shaped by rapid advancements that promise prosperity but also pose significant risks to the nation-state and global stability. The book highlights the existential dilemma we face: balancing the potential for unprecedented harm against the dangers of intrusive surveillance. Suleyman introduces the concept of 'the containment problem,' which focuses on maintaining control over powerful technologies as the central challenge of our era. With endorsements from influential thinkers, this groundbreaking work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the implications of the technological revolution and the path forward amidst looming threats.

Nvidia is as valuable as Apple and Microsoft. It has shaped the world as we know it. But its story is little known. This is the definitive story of the greatest technology company of our times. 'Gripping and brilliantly told' Mustafa Suleyman, author of The Coming Wave In June 2024, thirty-one years after it was founded in a diner, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. The Thinking Machine is the astonishing story of how a designer of videogame equipment conquered the market for AI hardware, and in the process reinvented the computer. Essential to Nvidia's meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors and his employees, Stephen Witt documents for the first time the company's epic rise and its single-minded and ferocious leader, now one of Silicon Valley's most influential figures. The Thinking Machine is the story of how Nvidia evolved to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers. It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing, becoming one of the wealthiest men alive. It is the story of a revolution in computer architecture, and the small group of renegade engineers who made it happen. And it's the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, which Huang has billed as the 'next industrial revolution,' as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars and new movies, art and books, generated on command. This is the story of the company that is inventing the future. 'A page-turning biography of perhaps the most consequential CEO and company in the world' David Epstein, author of Range 'Brilliantly captures the riveting, unlikely story of Jensen Huang's Nvidia ... Exceptional reporting' Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity is Nearer

Blížíme se ke kritickému bodu v historii našeho druhu. Vše se brzy změní. Brzy budete žít obklopeni umělou inteligencí. Budou organizovat váš život, řídit vaše podnikání a provozovat základní vládní služby. Budete žít ve světě tiskáren DNA a kvantových počítačů, upravených patogenů a autonomních zbraní, robotických asistentů a hojnosti energie. Nikdo z nás na to není připraven. Mustafa Suleyman je jako spoluzakladatel průkopnické společnosti DeepMind, která je součástí Googlu, v centru této revoluce. Nadcházející desetiletí bude podle něj definováno touto vlnou výkonných, rychle se šířících nových technologií. V knize The Coming Wave Suleyman ukazuje, jak tyto síly vytvoří obrovskou prosperitu, ale také ohrozí národní stát, základ globálního řádu. Zatímco naše křehké vlády spějí ke katastrofě, čelíme existenciálnímu dilematu: na jedné straně bezprecedentní škody, na druhé hrozba panovačného dohledu. Dokážeme si proklestit cestu mezi katastrofou a dystopií? Tato přelomová kniha od největšího odborníka na umělou inteligenci stanovuje „problém zadržování“ — úkol udržet kontrolu nad mocnými technologiemi - jako zásadní výzvu naší doby.
