I haven't read this yet I just saw it in the bookstore and have to agree with the title. We're 3d printing bridges and it's 2015 I wonder where that tech will be by 2045. Let alone driving tech, farm and warehouse/retail/fast food automation.

/r/ControlProblem

The Control Problem:

How do we ensure that future artificial superintelligence has a positive impact on the world?

"People who say that real AI researchers don’t believe in safety research are now just empirically wrong." - Scott Alexander

"The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else." - Eliezer Yudkowsky

I started reading this book after I saw it mentioned on this subreddit, and I recommend it. Relevant and interesting: Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era

Perhaps this book or some of the related ones.
