About this episode
Many people call the future threat "artificial general intelligence," but all three words there are misleading when trying to understand risks.
AI may radically accelerate technology development. That might be extremely good or extremely bad. There are currently no good explanations for how either would happen, so it's hard to predict which, or when, or whether. The understanding necessary to guide the future to a good outcome may depend more on uncovering causes of technological progress than on reasoning about AI.
