The scariest thing about AI can be explained by the paperclip maximizer. If you created an AI that is more intelligent than humans and you told it to maximize the number of paperclips on Earth, it would take everyone out just doing its job. First, it would turn all metal into paperclips to destroy society in the process and then it would start on humans. And while this example might seem a bit far out and paperclips might not cause the end of the world, if you told an AI to stop a war, it might decide the easiest way to do that is to remove all the people so no one can go to war. But I think the most likely threat is that someone with a lot of power will try to fix people and end up controlling them. There is no stopping the progress of artificial intelligence. The path forward is to embrace and adapt to the new technology faster than the people who have plans for you. Listen — I can be your personal guide through all of this. Want to take it further?
