Author Information

Keith Mansfield began publishing books about AI, specifically on neural networks, in the early 1990s, when these were considered extremely unfashionable. In the noughties he worked on major AI textbooks, before publishing Nick Bostrom's New York Times bestseller Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies in 2014 - a book that helped kickstart the AI Safety debate and led indirectly to the formation of OpenAI and the release of ChatGPT. A science fiction author in his spare time, he has worked at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, and is currently the popular science publisher for Penguin Press, working alongside the likes of Khan Academy's Sal Khan on generative AI in education, and Senior Turing Fellow and Cambridge DeepMind Professor Neil Lawrence on the role of AI in today's society. Based in London, he is also the author of The Future in Minutes.
