Mostly Harmless AI

Welcome to Mostly Harmless AI! This short book features 10 essays I wrote during 2023 and 2024 subscribers of my blog, Mostly Harmless Ideas. Each essay relates to AI, with some focusing on technical aspects and others delving into philosophical or societal issues. All of them reflect my deep concern for humanity's future and my hope that we can build a better world by using AI responsibly.

These essays appear in this book almost as initially published on the blog, with only minor edits to fix typos and discuss other small issues. Together, these essays offer insights into the potential impact of AI on our lives and our world.
