The current version of Creating Friendly AI is 1.0. Version 1.0 was formally launched on June 15, after the circulation of several 0.9.x versions. Creating Friendly AI forms the background for the SIAI Guidelines on Friendly AI; the Guidelines contain our recommendations for the development of Friendly AI, including design features that may become necessary in the near future to ensure forward compability. We continue to solicit comments on Friendly AI from the academic and futurist communities.
This is a near-book-length explanation. If you need well-grounded knowledge of the subject, then we highly recommend reading Creating Friendly AI straight through. However, if time is an issue, you may be interested in the Singularity Institute section on Friendly AI, which includes shorter articles and introductions. "Features of Friendly AI" contains condensed summaries of the most important design features described in Creating Friendly AI.
Creating Friendly AI uses, as background, the AI theory from "General Intelligence and Seed AI". For an introduction, see the Singularity Institute section on AI or read the opening pages of General Intelligence and Seed AI. However, Creating Friendly AI is readable as a standalone document.
The Glossary - in addition to defining terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers - may be useful for looking up, in advance, brief explanations of concepts that are discussed in more detail later. (Readers may also enjoy browsing through the glossary as a break from straight reading.) Words defined in the glossary look like this: "Observer-biased beliefs evolve in imperfectly deceptive social organisms." Similarly, "Features of Friendly AI" can act on a quick reference on architectural features.
The Indexed FAQ is derived from the questions we've often heard on mailing lists over the years. If you have a basic issue and you want an immediate answer, please check the FAQ. Browsing the summaries and looking up the referenced discussions may not completely answer your question, but it will at least tell you that someone has thought about it.
