Ultron and Vision are built from much the same stuff. One decides humanity should die, and the other decides it's worth loving. Add JARVIS, the perfect assistant, and you've got a handy way into what we actually want from minds smarter than ours.
Along the way it explains AI alignment, corrigibility, interpretability, machine consciousness and moral status from scratch. The films never give an engineering reason why Vision turns out kind, only a story reason, and that's uncomfortably close to where we are now.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (144 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
