Technology and Morality

The podcast discusses whether technology can be considered neutral or if it inherently carries with it a latent morality. It questions whether each piece of technology, such as TikTok or nuclear weapons, has the potential to affect society in a certain way. The episode explores the concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its implications. It explains that while AGI is not yet achieved, there are discussions about its alignment with human values and the containment problem. The podcast also highlights the challenges of defining intelligence and the different categories of intelligence, including narrow and general intelligence.
