The book “The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma” has a lot to say about AI safety.

Some earlier books (nontechnical) that brought attention to AI. The first one I think has been massively influential:

"Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter (1979)

The Society of Mind" by Marvin Minsky (1985)

"AI: A Very Short Introduction" by Margaret A. Boden (2006)

"Mind Design II: Philosophy, Psychology, Artificial Intelligence" edited by John Haugeland (1997)

"The Age of Spiritual Machines" by Ray Kurzweil (1999)

"On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins (2004)
