Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence AI 5.0
The book defines the concept of Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence AI 5.0. The book explains how the emerging technologies like Internet of things (IoT), Drone, Brain-Computer-Interface, Blockchain, Big data can be used with deep learning and other modern artificial intelligence (AI) architectures for the ultimate level of joint evolution of human and machine superintelligence.
Humans and AI systems are co-evolving. Gradually they are becoming co-dependent. The gaps between human and AI systems are reducing. Establishing heart to heart communication is a must. Tomorrow's AI based systems must be able to understand humans from its depth and not just fulfill the surface level requirements. Sensitivity towards human pain, mistakes, and sufferings must be the part of the evolving new AI systems.
Serving humanity intelligently is held up as the “gold standard” of AI based systems. But, with the emergence of new technologies and AI systems with bio-metric data storage, surveillance, tracking and big data analysis, humanity and the society is facing a threat today from evilly designed AI systems in the hands of monster governments and irresponsible people. Humanity is on the verge of digital slavery.
Now the primary requirement of a AI based system is that not only it should serve humanity but also should not do any harm to the human liberty, society, environment and the humanity at large. Moreover, AI should act morally, socially, responsibly and compassionately. Dr. Ray calls it Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence or "AI 5.0", which empowers humanity and machine with super-intelligence, super-creativity and super-compassion, which will help humanity and machine to reach new levels of evolution of consciousness. Such compassionate intelligent systems would be a boon to the human society rather than being an evil force.
To obtain maturity in new AI systems, AI must focus on solving social issues intelligently. Solving the social issues like terrorism, loneliness, digital slavery, corruption and social inequality must be the part of the new compassionate AI systems. Human freedom and empowerment should be one of the primary criteria. In this book Dr. Ray says that compassionate artificial superintelligent (CAS) system will have the potential to free the humanity from corruption and other evils.
The real challenge is how to digitize and incorporate the human values like compassion, forgiveness, bravery, morality, love and creativity in AI based systems. In this book Dr. Ray explains compassionate artificial intelligence in depth. The book provides the blueprint, directions, frameworks and strategies to develop such compassionate artificial superintelligent systems in coming days.

Dr. Amit Ray, has been a known as a key proponent of safe artificial intelligence (AI). We're living in the midst of an artificial intelligence revolution. This book of Dr. Ray is definitely a milestone book on AI. With self-driving cars navigating the streets and smart assistants discovering our preferences for food and music etc.
Today's AI technologies are more intelligent and contextual than ever before. The development of AI-powered-automated-weapons is already starting in many countries. On that context this book is a direction for the humanity.

Tl;dr:
Stay away from this book. Too many grammar errors; bad spacing; lack of references for large portions of the book; concepts are explained in such a vague and cursory way as to be of little to no use; large amounts of redundancy for such a short book; suspicious Goodreads reviews
Review:
This book is riddled with grammatical errors. Here are some quotes from the book to exemplify what I mean:
"Narrow Compassionate AI tries to remove pains at individual level" (p195)
"...tries to remove pains at social level, group level, or country level" (p195)
"Increasingly, scientists all over the world feels that" (p195)
"...it looks much feasible" (p195)
I chose four quotes from a random page I opened to, and there was arguably another grammatical error on that page too. If the author didn't care enough to put their work through a grammar checker, then I fail to see why I should care about what their writing as well. This is 2018; use a grammar checker.
It's almost impressive how many errors there are given the sparsity of content as a result of this book also being double-spaced, justified, and with extra space between paragraphs. Here is another quote showing how awful the spacing can get sometimes because the text is justified:
"magnetoencephalography (MEG), and scalp" (p144)
I feel the spacing is used to pad the pages like a high schooler trying to hit their page requirement by altering the margins slightly. Additionally, large portions of the book have no sourcing and it felt like Amit Ray was simply giving a brief, vague, ad hoc list of technologies and saying that they 'advancing very quickly' because of AI without giving any evidence.
I want to mention that the title of this book also appears to be deceiving to me. Did you want to learn about AI and how it relates to the IOT? Well, you're in luck; there is a seven-page vague overview of how the two technologies relate to one another in the context of Compassionate Artificial Superintelligence.
Lastly, In this 200-page book (that felt more like a 100-125 page book given the spacing issues), there is an unacceptably high amount of overlap/redundancy as well. I would read a sentence, and then a chapter or two later I felt like I was reading what I had just read previously.
Postscript Rant:
I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. I bought it after reading the other reviews here, but after I finished I was left wondering if we had read the same book. I wish there was a website like Fakespot (shows you how many reviews it thinks is fake on Amazon, Yelp, and a few other websites' listings) for Goodreads reviews because I have become more and more suspicious of these highly rated books with low sample sizes of reviews.

At the core of artificial intelligence is sophisticated algorithms. Dr. Amit Ray nicely explained how these algorithms can nicely capture and simulate the human like behavior with pain and pleasures. I loved the DeepCompassion algorithms of complex reinforcement learning proposed by Dr. Ray for compassionate behavior of machines.. I will love to see my equipment and home appliance talk to me in a compassionate way in near future. Dr. Ray uses his experience of implementing large scale AI projects and here he explained the subject with commendable authority. I loved the book. If you are in artificial intelligence profession this is must read for you. If you want to know the future of artificial intelligence this will give you a realistic view.

Many top scientists believe AI takeoff will be incredibly fast. Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates have recently raised the alarm about Artificial Intelligence. If a superhuman artificial intelligence were created it would be the biggest event in human history and it could very well be the last. But here, Dr Ray explained the concepts of compassionate superintelligence. Dr Ray defines the computational models for machine pleasure, pain. Dr Ray explored how "dumb" machines can be transformed into smart compassionate and intelligent machines. The ideas and suggestions presented in this book are novel and have far reaching effect.

World is worried about the "killer robots", fully autonomous weapons. This book is very timely. I appreciate the effort and clear directions of Dr. Ray. Thanks

Books about science are normally written in two ways: those that explain it to lay people in the hope of cultivating a wide readership, and those that try to persuade fellow scientists to support a new theory, usually with equations. Books that achieve both — changing science and reaching the public — are rare. Dr Ray's Compassionate Superintelligence AI 5.0, book is in that rare category. It has been a sparkling best-seller and a scientific game-changer. The book will surprise and refresh the modern artificial intelligence researchers. I found the book exhilarating and bewildering. The book invites you to join on a journey to discover the truth behind future artificial super-intelligence.

Dr. Ray explained nicely the use of modern technologies of quantum computing, artificial consciousness, cellular reprogramming, blockchain, IoT and Brain-Computer-Interface for developing compassionate artificial intelligence. I loved the way he explained the RayDeepCompassion algorithms for building artificial consciousness and artificial compassion in machine. It is beyond my imagination.

Dr. Amit Ray is a famous AI scientist and also a spiritual master who introduces the concepts of the 114 chakras. This book introduces the concept of compassion in the field of AI. It is a fascinating field. To read and understand this book, you need a different mindset. However, if you are looking for too much programming or math, this book may not be suitable for you.
I liked the book.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a fascinating concept of science fiction for decades. But the true power of artificial intelligence has barely begun. Many researchers think we’re finally getting close to making artificial general intelligence a reality. It is an important question, what will happen if the quest for artificial superintelligence succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. A key goal of modern AI research is to never place humanity in risk. In that context Dr. Ray shows us the light. The book is an authoritative direction for new AI research. The book explained the frameworks, architectures and the DeepCompassion algorithms for implementation.
The main limitations of human being is the limitations our bodies—and brains. Because they undergo decay at certain point of life. With cyborg enhancements we could be more powerful and overcome the limitations of body and brain.
Dr. Ray here nicely explained, that by inventing revolutionary compassionate superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of compassionate AI 5.0 might be the biggest event in human history.

This book has crossed the boundaries of traditional AI books, and has taken AI to a new height and creating a new compassionate AI movement all around the globe. Dr. Amit Ray explained here, how AI can be developed to read human emotions, pain and sufferings and develop its own emotions, and help human friends to stay happy.
AI is pushing our society into new directions. There are dangers as well as opportunities. The book explained how compassion can be incorporated in modern machines. Robots are already taking over some of the most hazardous jobs available, including bomb defusing. The ethical and moral challenges related to the widespread deployment of AI technologies are well known. Dr. Ray's message--and the message of the book --is that our civilization will flourish as long as machine intelligence and human intelligence co-operate and grow together and compassion should be incorporated in machine by design. This is a path breaking discovery of Dr. Ray. I appreciate the direction and content of the book.

I am very excited to know that one day, machine will be superintelligent as well as compassionate and loving. Across the world, all artificial intelligence researchers largely agree that machine will exceed human in intelligence and efficiency but making them compassionate a real challenge. Thanks! A great work!
