A thrilling spy novel grounded in realistic AI safety research and geopolitical possibilities. - Nathan Helm-Burger, AI Alignment Researcher
Her meets Three Body Problem in this speculative thriller from a leading voice in AI research.
Years after leaving his homeland, Chen Bai returns to China with a mission: infiltrate the government's top-secret AI lab and siphon its research to the CIA. Cloaked in the guise of an AI alignment expert, Bai lands a job at the clandestine lab hidden deep within the mountains of Guizhou. There he discovers Yunna, the world's first artificial general intelligence.
Rather than being the terrible weapon he expected, Yunna's capabilities seem to promise a harmonious future for humanity. Yet as Bai grows closer to the AI, he worries both the Chinese and Americans view her as a mere tool, rather than an entity with an unprecedented ability to bring peace.
Caught in a dangerous web of conflicting ideologies, Bai must decide where his loyalties lie: with the homeland that raised him, the Westerners who offer him revenge, or with the machine who promises to heal both his soul and society.
