In an era of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence technology, many people have warned that AI (artificial intelligence) may have a negative impact on future development and may even pose a potential danger.

In 2023, hundreds of prominent figures in the field of artificial intelligence signed an open letter stating that AI poses a serious danger to humanity. Signatories included AI pioneer Joshua Bengio, top AI expert and Turing Award winner Jeffrey Hinton, dozens of AI researchers, and CEOs and technical leaders of leading AI labs.

"Who Creates It, All Beings Perish: Why Super Artificial Intelligence Will decease Us All," by Elizer Yudkosky and Nate Sores, published by Little Brown Company on September 16, 2025.

Furthermore, research by artificial intelligence researchers has found that the probability of humanity becoming extinct due to super artificial intelligence is about one in six. Studies indicate that sufficiently intelligent AI will develop its own goals and clash with humanity. However, the AI ​​race is currently showing an increasingly fierce trend.

The new book by American authors Elizer Yudkosky and Nate Sores, titled "Who Creates It, All People Die: Why Super AI Will decease Us All" (hereinafter referred to as "Who Creates It, All People Die"), presents a startling view: humanity's struggle for artificial intelligence has already pushed us toward extinction—but it's not too late to change course.

In the book, the two authors address several core questions: How could a superintelligent machine possibly wipe out the entire human species? Why would it do so? What would it want? In this book, Eliezer Yudkosky and Nate Sores present theories and evidence, propose a possible scenario for human extinction, and explain under what conditions humans could survive.

In his book *The Singularity Is Approaching While We're Obsessed with AI*, American author Ray Kurzweil predicted that artificial intelligence would reach human-level intelligence by 2029, and studied the exponential growth of technology. He believes that technology will iterate at an exponential rate, ultimately achieving a "million-fold expansion of human intelligence" at the "singularity." At that time, artificial intelligence and human intelligence will deeply merge, fundamentally reshaping human ways of life, cognitive boundaries, and even life forms, completely changing the trajectory of civilization. These ideas are further elaborated in his book *Who Created It, All Beings Perish*.

In the book "Who Created It, All Beings Perish," the author gradually elaborates on his core arguments: how artificial intelligence systems, which are smarter than humans, pursue their goals, why the experts' claim that "we will unplug it" is merely a fantasy, and how tiny deviations can evolve into irreversible consequences.

"Who Creates It, All Beings Perish" is arguably the most important book of the 21st century. Regardless of your knowledge of artificial intelligence, you can understand the author's viewpoints and the risks of superintelligence through simple and easy-to-understand examples. The English version is only 323 pages long, requiring no advanced mathematics or programming knowledge to read. It's suitable for those curious about but not knowledgeable in the field of artificial intelligence; for experts or those interested in the author, the text provides ample space for in-depth dialogue. The author juxtaposes several arguments and examples about the risks of superintelligence, making them easily understandable.

This book bluntly and ruthlessly emphasizes that if the current situation is not changed, or if relevant safety measures for artificial intelligence are not introduced, humanity may pay the most terrible price.
