A Provisional Duty
Focusing on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, the book offers a fresh perspective by integrating Kantian political theory. It seeks to advance the discussion surrounding R2P by addressing common criticisms related to case selectivity and the political will to intervene, aiming to enrich the understanding of moral and ethical responsibilities in international relations.

From the ultimate AI insider, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, part of Google.'Fascinating, well-written, and important' Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens'Deeply rewarding and consistently astonishing' Stephen Fry'An excellent guide for navigating unprecedented times' Bill GatesSoon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.None of us are prepared.As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side and the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?This ground-breaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age.'A stunning book by a man at the very centre of the AI revolution' Rory Stewart'Essential reading' Daniel Kahneman

Blížíme se ke kritickému bodu v historii našeho druhu. Vše se brzy změní. Brzy budete žít obklopeni umělou inteligencí. Budou organizovat váš život, řídit vaše podnikání a provozovat základní vládní služby. Budete žít ve světě tiskáren DNA a kvantových počítačů, upravených patogenů a autonomních zbraní, robotických asistentů a hojnosti energie. Nikdo z nás na to není připraven. Mustafa Suleyman je jako spoluzakladatel průkopnické společnosti DeepMind, která je součástí Googlu, v centru této revoluce. Nadcházející desetiletí bude podle něj definováno touto vlnou výkonných, rychle se šířících nových technologií. V knize The Coming Wave Suleyman ukazuje, jak tyto síly vytvoří obrovskou prosperitu, ale také ohrozí národní stát, základ globálního řádu. Zatímco naše křehké vlády spějí ke katastrofě, čelíme existenciálnímu dilematu: na jedné straně bezprecedentní škody, na druhé hrozba panovačného dohledu. Dokážeme si proklestit cestu mezi katastrofou a dystopií? Tato přelomová kniha od největšího odborníka na umělou inteligenci stanovuje „problém zadržování“ — úkol udržet kontrolu nad mocnými technologiemi - jako zásadní výzvu naší doby.
