Peter Bennett and Hinson Chan (Part 2): Humanity, post-AI

Building on part 1, we now turn to a discussion of AI's social ramifications. We begin with the US and China's very different industrial models when it comes to AI research, and whether public skepticism in the US will prove to be a barrier. We brainstorm how, if at all, the left-behind masses might be able to fight back in a future controlled by a few AI oligarchs who monopolize wealth and power. We close with some hopes about what humanity ought to preserve when AI takes work away, and how humans can direct technological change in a direction that actually solves important problems.
