We were really excited to speak with Shashank Joshi of the Economist for this video. He’s one of the foremost thinkers writing about how AI is changing the world and the future of war and we couldn’t have done this piece without him.

When AI is used to generate any imagery that may appear onscreen, we'll add this to the video description. We're learning as we go about AI usage and transparency, and appreciate your thoughts.

Ai has this ability for current and future greatness. MANKIND has proven itself to subvert wonderful discoverys to disastoris ends. Look at the Internet, at 1st just wonderfully, now you have to have constant data protection while using it and with Ai growing in leaps and bounds , I just do not trust much of it and less every day.

Hello Johnny, I gather this is your second video on AI. I don't know if you are already aware of and planning to cover the subject I want to bring up, but I really think there is an elephant in the room when it comes to conversations about the impact of AI, that I am not seeing being addressed. I really do believe there is an existential risk for humanity posed by AGI. AGI might have seemed far fetched even a few years ago but progress has been rapid and major AI labs are explicitly stating that they are trying to create it. The risk has nothing to do with hollywood scenarios where the machines become self aware or conscious or anything. The risk is that they become so powerful and so smart that they will be essentially uncontrollable. Geoffrey Hinton, who pioneered the current paradigm and won a Nobel for it is going around now trying to warn everyone about this possibility. There are many other very serious people and researchers who are growing increasingly concerned about this. You have so far shown how AI is going to be an incredibly powerful tool that when wielded by bad actors could cause immense harm. But the nature of AI is fundamentally different from any other invention. There are really robust arguments for why when an AI becomes general enough, smart enough, and surpasses the mental capabilites of humans, it ceases to be a tool. It ceases to be controllable by anyone period. We expect such systems to pursue whatever goal they were originally given, to the detriment of everything and everyone else, and we expect them to resist shutdown simply because being shut off is detrimental to achieving practically any goal. If this is the first you are hearing about this, I really urge you to have a look at Rob Miles's youtube channel. He talks in much greater detail about this. I think this risk is rarely talked about, not because there are any good arguments against it, but because it just seems so sci-fi at a first glance. It isn't. It's real. And it needs to enter the Overton window yesterday.
