AI & Human Futures

“Whoever cracks superintelligence first will set its values & goals”

Suppose humans create superintelligence. What happens next? A "solved world" sans disease and despair? Or would humanity lose control?

Nick Bostrom – philosopher, transhumanist, and author of Deep Utopia & Superintelligence – peels the layers of the onion that is superintelligence in a thrilling conversation with Shoma Chaudhury, Founder, Lucid Lines & Founder-Director, SYNAPSE.

Listen in, as he paints the possibilities: how there will be no work, only pleasure. Where if you love music, painting or hiking, you can just pop a pill, or press a button, to experience it. Future humans will breach biological limitations. And why whoever cracks superintelligence first will get to set the rules.
