Recommended Portfolio: The True Entry of AI into Life

We are about to cross a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything we know is about to change.

We will soon be surrounded by artificial intelligence responsible for performing complex tasks: from managing businesses and producing unlimited digital content to running critical public services and maintaining infrastructure.

We will inhabit a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, artificial pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants, and abundant energy. All of this represents a radical transformation in human capabilities. And we are not ready. As co-founder of the pioneering company DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the epicenter of this revolution, destined to become the greatest accelerator of progress in history.

He asserts that the next decade will be marked by this great wave of powerful, rapidly proliferating new innovations. Driven by overwhelming strategic and commercial incentives, these tools will help address our global challenges and create enormous wealth, but they will also provoke upheavals on a previously unimaginable scale.

In The Coming Wave, Suleyman (CEO of Microsoft AI and one of the world's leading experts on intelligent systems) demonstrates how these forces seriously threaten the foundations of the world order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk toward disaster, we face an existential dilemma: on the one hand, dealing with the unprecedented damage from uncontrolled exposure to these new technologies; on the other, the threat of tyrannical and abusive surveillance.

Will we be able to open a narrow escape route between catastrophe and dystopia? "The Coming Wave" is an eloquent wake-up call that serves as a catalyst for debate on how to balance innovation and control in the digital age. This essay explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology are redefining society, economics, and geopolitics, posing a "containment problem" to avoid global crises. It essentially proposes creating a framework similar to that of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
