Why are the CEOs of the world’s biggest AI companies calling their own technology an existential threat? Artificial intelligence (AI) – when a computer is capable of doing stuff that intelligent beings like humans can do – exploded into the public consciousness in November 2022, when OpenAI’s ChatGPT 3 point 5 was made public.

Suddenly, we were hearing about how AI could bring about the imminent end of humanity. A concept that goes back to the time of ancient Greece, there have been more AI advances in 2023 than in the entire history of artificial intelligence, and they’re not all for the better. How did things progress so quickly? Is this time different, or will the tech billionaires become the world’s first trillionaires by prioritising profit at the expense of the greater good? The Little Black Book of Artificial Intelligence offers a gateway to understanding these seemingly complex ideas, their upsides and their risks while offering an urgent call to action, before it’s too late.
