Summary

What are the most immediate, and potentially catastrophic, risks posed by AI? According to pioneering AI researcher, Dr. Fei-Fei Li, they include disinformation, polarization, biases, a loss of privacy and job losses that could lead to unrest. The Stanford computer scientist is a fierce advocate for the humane development of artificial intelligence and for increased diversity in the field.
