AI could have access to everything that was set on zoom all the time by everybody, it would get smarter what I'm care about. And then my body temperature and everything else is it tries to develop the perfect cancer drug for me. It's interested in capability and eating both together to be afraid about the extinction. We might wish they were extinct. In fact, there may be more mice in the world today than there were a hundred years ago.

The future of AI keeps Zvi Mowshowitz up at night. He also wonders why so many smart people seem to think that AI is more likely to save humanity than destroy it. Listen as Mowshowitz talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the current state of AI, the pace of AI's development, and where--unless we take serious action--the technology is likely to end up (and that end is not pretty). They also discuss Mowshowitz's theory that the shallowness of the AI extinction-risk discourse results from the assumption that you have to be either pro-technological progress or against it.
