I like "Smarter than Us: an overview of AI Risk". The first three words should knock the reader out of their comfort zone.

I concur on the main title, but, in accordance with cousin_it's comment below, we might go with AI as a Danger to Mankind as a subtitle or something like that. Maybe AI's Promise and Peril for Humanity to avoid (a) giving people the impression we think AI should never be built (b) the charge of sexism.

Note that "promise and peril" is Kurzweil's turn of phrase; it sounds much better in my head than "promise and danger" which I also thought of.

Sexism..?

Yes, sexism. "Mankind" is male-tilted in a way that "humanity" isn't.
