We navigate the widely disputed topic of AI as a potential existential threat, with Andrew assuring us that, with time and global cooperation, safety measures can be built to prevent disaster. He offers insight into the debates surrounding the harm AI might cause, including the notions of AI as a bio-weapon and the notorious ‘paper clip argument’. Listen as Andrew debunks these theories, delivering an interesting argument for why he believes the associated risks are minimal.Onwards, we venture into the intriguing realm of AI’s capability to understand the world, setting the stage for a conversation on how we can objectively assess their comprehension.
