ABSTRACT:

One of the most prominent thinkers of the Transhumanist movement, Nick Bostrom, has published, at the prestigious British publishing house Oxford Univesity Press in 2014, the volume Superintelligence. Paths, Dangers, Stategies, a work dedicated to the development of superintelligence, with the help of already existing technology, or the one that is about to appear in a foreseeable future. The intention of this review is not to make a simple presentation of this book, occasioned by the Romanian translation (translator Doru Valentin Căstăian) of the book, published by the Litera Publishing House, but also to express some reflections on reading the volume. The debate on the impact of technology that allows human optimization on the future of humanity opens a new field in the field of scientific research and technology ethics – analyzing the ethical acceptability of different technologies.
