This is the biggest conversation really on my desk right now is this rapid build-out of artificial intelligence.

I want to remind people that before COVID happened, this was just kind of a pie in the sky someday maybe, you know,

we're going to have this great artificial intelligence that are do all our work for us we'll have so

much leisure time and and then you had a lot of people talking about these this

this massive futuristic view of what artificial intelligence is COVID

happened and then all of a sudden it was just dropped in our lap here it is and now

we're in it I didn't get a vote to you, but society's changing rapidly, like this.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live.

Your fitness tracker, that's AI powered. The music recommendations you get on your various

playlist. Guess what? AI power. For all human history, human beings have been the smartest

beings on the planet. Now human beings have been the smartest beings on the planet.

Now human beings have created something that is far smarter than they are.

People are concerned about immediate problems, maybe it will influence some election,

they are concerned about technological unemployment, bias. My main concern is long-term

superintelligent systems we cannot control, which can take us out.

We're building more and more these AIs that seem to have deceptive intentions and behavior

and one that preserve themselves at the expense of our moral instructions.

It's pretty obvious that if we create new entities that are way smarter than us, there's no guarantee that we're not going to totally lose power to them.

The biggest risk is obviously human extinction that every single person on the planet is dead.

I can't see a path that guarantees safety.

We're entering a period of great uncertainty

where we're dealing with things we've never dealt with before.
