Based on this article I see nothing new idea wise, but the reputation of the authors hopefully encourages policy makers to take AI risks seriously. As the second to last paragraph points out, the book doesn’t delve into some modern day controversies to make its points. The pros being the ideas might be spread further, maybe even to China. The cons being the book isn’t as timely and impactful as it could be. It seems like a good trade off to me.
