Author Description

Let's read today the questions we will face tomorrow! Hyperspecies. Impossible biology. AGIs (Artificial General Intelligence). And a Milky Way where the future asks for no permission. MISALIGNED AI takes you through scenarios of exobiology, first contact between hyperspecies, and technological evolution, where every species (and its associated AGI) pushes the boundaries of the "possible" and the "human." Inside, you will find questions that will haunt you: What does it take for an AGI to align with its biological creators? What common ground will a human AGI share with those from other planets? What would a cosmopolitan restaurant look like with hyperspecies from across the galaxy? What minimum senses should a being from another hyperspecies possess to be considered as such? A crystal-based hyperspecies would be... what? What if our human vision were just a tiny slice of the possible senses in the galaxy? Is it possible to truly live after knowing perfection? What kind of childhood would a human with multidimensional capacity have in a three-dimensional world? Does a being of pure energy have hobbies? Does humanity have built-in planned obsolescence? Will marriages become obsolete? Is there a developmental curve for AGIs known by the entire galaxy... except us? Is there a supreme AGI ruling the Milky Way that we have yet to meet? Why read this book? This is the ideal read if you enjoy the cosmic scale of Arthur C. Clarke, the logic of Isaac Asimov's AGIs, or the philosophical dilemmas of Ted Chiang. 100% human made.
