  dreams to self-driving cars and automated
  factories. We bring you a list of artificial
  intelligence books that showcase rabid
  speculations, rich history, and intriguing (yet

1.Our Final Invention(By James Barrat)

• Our Final Invention Artificial Intelligence and
  the End of the Human Era is a 2013 non-fiction
  book by the Author of the book. The book
  discusses the potential benefits and possible
  risks of human-level or superhuman AI. Those
  supposed risks include extermination of the human
  race.
• Throughout the book, Barrat takes a cautionary
  tone, focusing on the threats artificial
  super-intelligence poses to human existence.
  Barrat emphasizes how difficult it would be to
  control or even to predict the actions of
  something that may become orders of magnitude
  more intelligent than the most intelligent
  humans.

Life 3.0(By Max Tegmark)

• Life 3.0 Being Human in the Age of Artificial
  Intelligence is a book by Swedish-American
  cosmologist Max Tegmark from MIT. Life 3.0
  discusses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its
  impact on the future of life on Earth and beyond.
  The book discusses a variety of societal
  implications, what can be done to maximize the
  chances of a positive outcome, and potential
  futures for humanity, technology and combinations
  thereof.
• The book begins by positing a scenario in which
  AI has exceeded human intelligence and become
  pervasive in society. Tegmark refers to different
  stages of human life since its inception Life
  1.0 referring to biological origins, Life 2.0
  referring to cultural developments in humanity,
  and Life 3.0 referring to the technological age

  December 2009. It is used in over 1350
  universities worldwide and has been called "the
  most popular artificial intelligence textbook in

Superintelligence Paths, Dangers, Strategies(By
Nick Bostrom)

• Superintelligence Paths, Dangers, Strategies is
  a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick
  Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues
  that if machine brains surpass human brains in
  general intelligence, then this new
  superintelligence could replace humans as the
  dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently
  intelligent machines could improve their own
  capabilities faster than human computer
  scientists,and the outcome could be an
  existential catastrophe for humans.
• Bostrom's book has been translated into many
  languages and is available as an audiobook.

Deep Learning with R(By Ray Kurzwiel)

• Ray Kurzweil was arguably responsible for
  popularizing the idea of the technological
  singularity. In which, much to the hopes of
  sun-deprived dreamers everywhere that the end was
  nigh for a super-intelligence would eventually
  emerge out of a self-improving runaway reaction.
  With it there'd be no telling what comes next in
  a world unknowable, ending history in its wake
  and bringing in a time of unfathomable change.
  While not all of Kurzweil's predictions are as
  verbose, many of Kurzweil's lesser predictions
  from years past have rung true.

Machines of Loving Grace The Quest for Common
Ground Between Humans and Robots(By John markoff)

• Author and journalist John Markoff offers a
  detailed and rich history of the field of
  robotics and artificial intelligence. He's
  interested in the interplay between human
  societies and the effect that increasing
  automation and intelligence will have in the
  workplace and other areas. Markoff explores the
  views of the designers behind these machines and
  the paradoxical nature of the potentialities of
  this new tech. He states The same technologies
  that extend the intellectual power of humans can
  displace them as well".

Deep Thinking Where Machine Intelligence Ends
and Human Creativity Begins(By Gary Kasparov)

• Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for
  technological progress, from the man who stood at
  its precipice with his own career at stake. Garry
  Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM
  supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in
  the history of technology.
