About AI Threat

AI Threat is Book 5 of The Transformed Architecture. It investigates whether the dystopias of science fiction, with AI as the threat, are coming true. It covers every scale of the threat, from the human mind and society to misuse, machines beyond control and the end of the world, stages every debate constructively, and turns the verdict into what individuals, European enterprises and public authorities can do.

It builds on the conclusions of Architecture as Code, AI Governance, AI Platform and Security and AI Red Team.

Who should read this

Boards, chief risk officers, CISOs, AI governance leads, architects and public-sector leaders.
