I strongly advocate eliminating the word 'risk' from the title. I have never spoken of 'AI risk'.
It is a defensive word and in a future-of-technology context it communicates to people that you are about to talk about possible threats that no amount of argument will talk you out of. Only people who like the 'risk' dogwhistle will read, and they probably won't like the content.
None of these titles seem likely to grip people...
I like Friendly AI: Possible But Difficult best, but given your text, it might need to be Good Artificial Intelligence: Possible But Difficult.
But I agree these are unlikely to grip people.
Maybe just The Rise of Superintelligence?
Apt to be confused with Bostrom's forthcoming book?
I notice that I am confused.
"AI as a positive and negative factor in global risk", in a book called "Global Catastrophic Risks". The phrase 'AI risk' does not appear in the text. If I'd known then what I know now, I would have left the word 'risk' out of the title entirely.
Confusion cleared :)
I'd assume that anyone who hears about the book is going to learn that it's about risks from AI. Do you really think it comes down to the word "risk"? Borrowing Mike Anissimov's title, how about "Smarter than Us: On the Safety of Artificial Intelligence Research"?
'Safety' has much of the same problem, though not as much as 'risk'.
Makes sense. Here are a few more ideas, tending towards a pop-sci feel.
Ethics for Robots: AI, Morality, and the Future of Humankind
Big Servant, Little Master: Anticipating Superhuman Artificial Intelligence
Friendly AI and Unfriendly AI
AI Morality: Why We Need It and Why It's Tough
AI Morality: A Hard Problem
The Mindspace of Artificial Intelligences
Strong AI: Danger and Opportunity
Software Minds: Perils and Possibilities of Human-Level AI
Like Bugs to Them: The Coming Rise of Super-Intelligent AI
From Cavemen to Google and Beyond: The Future of Intelligence on Earth
Super-Intelligent AI: Opportunities, Dangers, and Why It Could Come Sooner Than You Think
I think Ethics for robots catches your attention(or at least it caught mine) but think some of the other subtitles you suggested go better with it
Ethics for Robots: Perils and Possibilities of Super-Intelligent AI
Ethics for Robots: A Hard Problem
Although maybe you wouldn't want to associate AI and robots
Yep, absolutely feel free to mix/match/modify my suggested titles.
"Artificial Ethics"?
Of these the first is the best, by a long shot.
