A monthly journey into to the weirder, wilder side of the TED archives. October 2016 – Sam Harris ‘Can we build AI without losing control over it?’
Does the notion of human civilisation being wiped out by artificial intelligence (AI) seems about as relevant to you as being hunted down by Darth Vader? Then you need to hear this talk. Our current technology is already more powerful than 99.99% of us understand, and the future projections for AI range between the deeply sobering and the truly terrifying. Big thanks to Sam Harris for cheering us all up!
