The books 'Human compatible' by Stuart Russell, 'The alignment problem' by @brianchristian, and 'Superintelligence' by Nick Bostrom are excellent. Probably best read in that order (from least technical to most technical).

PS this tweet was inspired by realizing that I learned more about AI & machine learning in 6 hours of reading 'The alignment problem' by @brianchristian, than in listening to 60+ hours of podcast interviews with AI experts. Excellent & important book.
