The Philosopher Who Thinks AI Could Overtake Humanity — by 2035
We have ten years to prepare for the coming age of artificial intelligence, which is set to be one of the most disruptive technologies this century.
Artificial intelligence's impact is already coming into focus, from work to cultural production and identity, but beyond commercial applications like ChatGPT, a larger debate looms: the possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
A machine capable of augmenting its own intelligence is a matter of time — and could even arrive within a decade, according to philosopher and author William MacAskill.
MacAskill is one of the leading thinkers in the Effective Altruism movement and author of several influential books, including “Doing Good Better” and “What We Owe The Future”.
Author's summary: Philosopher William MacAskill discusses AI's potential to overtake humanity by 2035.
