We need to think about AI safety, not because we're sure terminator is going to happen.

0:05.3

There is a possibility, and it's not just a microscopic one.

0:08.7

It's a very, very real possibility that things can go horribly wrong.

Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.
