Eliezer Yudkowsky is a computer scientist at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute in Berkeley, and he is known for his work on technological forecasting. His publications include a chapter in the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, titled The Ethics of AI, which he co-authored with Nick Bostrom, and Eliezer s writing has been extremely influential online, especially among the smart set in Silicon Valley. Many of those articles were pulled together in a book titled Rationality from AI to Zombies, which I highly recommend. And he has a new book out which is Inadequate Equilibria, Where and How Civilizations Get Stuck, and as you ll hear, Eliezers is a very interesting first principles kind of thinker. Of those smart people who are worried about AI, he is probably among the most worried. And his concerns have been largely responsible for kindling the conversation we ve been having in recent years about AI safety and ethics. So in today s episode, you re getting it straight from the horse's mouth, and we cover more or less everything related to the question of why one should be worried about where this is all headed. In this episode, we cover: What is AI? Why are we worried about it? What are the risks? Why should we be worried? How can we prepare? And why should we care? Is there a place for AI in the future? Can we trust AI in our world? Does AI have a place in the 21st century? Do we really know what it s going to be? and so on? This episode is sponsored by Bullseye?
