0:00.0	Welcome back for part two with Mo Gadot, the former chief business officer of Google X.
0:05.4	We're talking about the risks and rewards of artificial intelligence. As a reminder,
0:09.7	whether AI ends up being a kill switch for humanity or the greatest boon since atomic energy is going to be up to us.
