This is it. The world, as you know, it is over. Completely done. It's not about to be over. It's over.

Some of the scientists who helped build AI are now sounding the alarm.

I was selling AI as a great thing for decades, and I was wrong. I was wrong. There is a longer term existential threat

that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves. We have

no idea whether we can stay in control. While others say that AI will usher in unfathomable abundance,

I've always believed that it's going to be the most important invention

that humanity will ever make.

This really will be a world of abundance.

And among these fears and these fantasies,

we seek the story of our future.

I'm James Patterson. I write way too many books. Welcome to Hungry Dogs. The title comes from

my maternal grandmother, Isabel Zelvis Morris. Nan used to always say, hungry dogs run faster, James,

and I've been running fast ever since. Here's what will be coming your way soon, and this is a

really terrific list, I think. You'll hear from some incredible people like Stacey Abrams,

yay! B.J. Novak, yay! Kathy Bates, Dolly Parton, Josh Gadd, and Pope Leo.

Okay, maybe not Pope Leo.

But who knows?

Maybe he'll show up.

Hungry Dogs Run Faster.
