Have recently read 'Power & Prediction' by Agrawal, Gans & Goldfarb, and re-read 'Life 3.0' by Max Tegmark and 'Human Compatible' by Stuart Russell.

Anyone have other recommendations in these areas?

@jamesfern Depends on what you are interested in. For a discussion of more near future issues than Tegmark and Russell, you have:

Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff
Automating Inequality by Virginia Eubanks
Data Feminism by D’Ignazio and Klein

@thesen thanks! Have read O’Neil and Zuboff and enjoyed them both. Will check out Eubanks and D’lgnazio & Klein.
Have just finished Kurzwell’s How to create a mind and now started Christian’s The Alignment Problem.
