I happy to share that my newest book has been released.
“Defensive AI — Safeguarding Humanity from Malicious and Uncontrolled AI” urgently discusses how the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence brings extraordinary opportunities and unprecedented risks. In it, technology expert Marty Crean provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the challenges of keeping AI systems safe, ethical, and aligned with human values.
Drawing from extensive research and real-world examples, Crean examines the dual nature of AI technology, its potential to revolutionize fields like healthcare and environmental protection, alongside its capacity for misuse in cyber-attacks, surveillance, and autonomous weapons. The book offers practical, actionable strategies for building resilient AI systems, implementing effective oversight mechanisms, and fostering international cooperation to prevent AI-related threats.
Key topics include:
- Understanding malicious and rogue AI behaviors
- Building robust defensive systems and containment strategies
- Addressing cybersecurity challenges in an AI-driven world
- Establishing frameworks for ethical AI development
- Creating resilient systems through a distributed architecture
- Developing policy recommendations for AI governance
Written for technology professionals, policymakers, and the everyday person, this timely guide combines technical insight with ethical considerations to chart a path toward safe and beneficial AI development. Crean’s accessible approach makes complex concepts understandable while never understating the gravity of the challenges ahead.
“Defensive AI” serves as both a warning about potential risks and a roadmap for ensuring that artificial intelligence, with its transformative potential, remains a positive force for human progress. As AI capabilities advance, this book provides essential guidance for protecting humanity’s interests while harnessing AI’s transformative potential.
