Artificial Intelligence Debate With Jaan Tallinn and Robin Hanson

That is the audio model of this week’s The Purpose Reside Stream, which takes place each Thursday at 1 p.m. Jap.

This week’s subject is synthetic intelligence, or A.I., and my Purpose colleague Zach Weissmueller interviews two main thinkers on the topic. 

Jaan Tallinn of the Way forward for Life Institute organized an open letter calling for a pause on A.I. growth that was signed by Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and 27,000 different folks. Tallinn is a tech investor, one of many software program builders who created Skype and Kazaa, and co-founder of the Way forward for Life Institute.

On the opposite facet of the problem is George Mason College economist Robin Hanson, who thinks the concerns over A.I. are overblown. He says a lot of at this time’s A.I. anxiousness is a extra generalized “future worry,” which is more likely to imperil technological progress that might enormously profit humanity.
