323 - Special: Existential Risk: Where Are We At Now?

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ .

The idea of AI posing an existential risk to the human race is kind of like the Terminator itself – it just keeps coming back. We'll look at some of the history of that issue, how attitudes towards it have waxed and waned over the years, and recent events where AIs have escaped their containers and the reactions - or lack thereof - to those incidents. What should we take away from this slow-motion train wreck and what should we do about it? All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
