This is the only book you need to understand our new world – from the ultimate AI insider, the CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind.

Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. In a world of quantum computers, robot assistants and abundant energy, they will organise your life, operate your business, and run government services.

None of us are prepared.

Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The next decade, he explains, will be defined by a wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. These will create immense prosperity but also present risks.

How do we ensure the flourishing of humankind? How do we maintain control over these technologies? And how do we find the narrow path to a successful future? In this groundbreaking book we learn how to think about the essential challenge of our age.

Be prepared. Read The Coming Wave.

Heartfelt and candid … a serious exploration of what the future might hold for us all
Thoughtful and persuasive
Confused by the current furore about AI? This book is a good place to start… The Coming Wave is a sweeping account of the latest advances in AI and synthetic biology
A cogent look at the technology’s potential to transform the economy and society, along with the risks of misuse and surveillance
The rise of AI has led to a rise in books about AI, among the most insightful of which is The Coming Wave
Unusually thoughtful, expansive, historically rooted and engagingly written
A genuinely mind-boggling read, setting out the ineluctable forces soon to completely transform politics, society and even the fabric of life itself over the next decade or two
Deeply rewarding and consistently astonishing
A fascinating, well-written and important book
A stunning book by a man at the very centre of the AI revolution - realistic, tough-minded [and] charting a meaningful course between AI catastrophe and dystopia

An excellent in depth overview of the AI wave, its possibilities, and even more, its dangers if left unbridled. The dangers would range from synthetic biology to any aspects of AI. Government and corporate leaders should read this and take action towards proliferation of AI, not just by crude policing and control, but by investing in lots of AI experts in a global consortium and coming with guidelines for audit, compliance and enforcement, so that the world will be a better place.

Deep hope and shock
