Murray Shanahan is a Professor of Cognitive Robotics at Imperial College London,[1] in the Department of Computing. He researches artificial intelligence, robotics, and cognitive science.
Outreach
Shanahan was a scientific advisor for the 2015 film Ex Machina.[2] He is on the external advisory board for the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, and is on the six-person ethics board for Texan startup Lucid.AI.[3]
Popular science books
In 2015, Shanahan published The Technological Singularity, which runs through various scenarios following the invention of an artificial intelligence that makes better versions of itself and rapidly outcompetes humans.[4] The book aims to be an evenhanded primer on the issues surrounding superhuman intelligence.[5] Shanahan takes the view that we do not know how superintelligences will behave: whether they will be friendly or hostile, predictable or inscrutable.[6]
