What happened

Bostrom's "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies" brings the control problem to presidents, founders and the public.

Why it matters

The book set out the control problem, instrumental convergence and the orthogonality thesis for a general audience, and drew public endorsements from technology leaders. Much of today's vocabulary of SI risk comes from it.
