This book addresses different aspects of the AI control problem as it relates to the development of safe and secure artificial intelligence. It will be the first to address challenges of constructing safe and secure artificially intelligent systems. "Artificial intelligence: Safety and Security is a timely and ambitious edited volume. It comprises 28 chapters organized under three distinct themes: security, artificial intelligence and safety. Edited by Roman V. Yampolskiy, the contributions are well integrated and challenge common conceptions. Yampolskiy has assembled a diverse team of leading scholars. In sum, the book provides valuable insight into the cyber ecosystem. It can be read in any order without missing the essence of the subject matter, yet the chapters speak to each other. The chapters provide insight into new research areas and experimental designs. The book is a must-read for computer scientists, security experts, mathematicians, students and individuals who are interested in learning more about the progress of the artificial intelligence field. It will also be of interest to hackers and the intelligence community." -International Affairs, Volume 95, Issue 3, May 2019, Pages 728-729, https://doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiz016 "There are those of us who philosophize and debate the finer points surrounding the dangers of artificial intelligence. And then there are those who dare go in the trenches and get their hands dirty by doing the actual work that may just end up making the difference. So if AI turns out to be like the terminator then Prof. Roman Yampolskiy may turn out to be like John Connor - but better. Because instead of fighting by using guns and brawn he is utilizing computer science, human intelligence and code." -Nikola Danaylov (author of Conversations with the Future: 21 Visions for the 21st Century) "Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security is an interesting read to learn about risks associated with the rapid growth of autonomous AI systems around us. While benefits of such systems are going to be enormous, so will be the risks if their power is left unchecked. A skillfully edited volume by my Computer Science and Engineering University of Louisville colleague, Dr. Roman Yampolskiy." -Jacek ZURADA, Ph.D., Candidate for IEEE President, IEEE Life Fellow, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of Louisville "This amazing and brand-new book with 47 contributors and more than 470 densely packed pages will immediately be recognized as indispensable in the AI safety and AI futurology literature. Among the 28 chapters, the first 11 more or less have the status of modern classics. The remaining 17 are new ?" -Olle Häggström, Professor of mathematical statistics at Chalmers University "Yampolskiy (Univ. of Louisville) furnishes readers with a thoughtful discussion of the state of the art regarding the safety and security of artificial intelligence (AI). To fully appreciate this text, readers must read the editor's preface. In it, he lays out the history of AI with a focus on its failures and how these might have been prevented, previewing themes to be explored in depth in the coming 28 chapters, contributed by 46 researchers in the field of AI. [. . . .] This text offers a comprehensive look at an emerging field; it is best suited for specialists." -J. Beidler, emeritus, University of Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States of America
