The Chief Danger of AI Is Its Misuse

from WORT 89.9FM Madison · host WORT 89.9FM Madison

Over a decade ago, Stephen Hawkins wrote that “Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” On today’s show, host Esty Dinur is joined by two AI researchers, Julie Derwinski and Kevin Lotto, to talk about the risks of AI and the need to stop the race for super intelligence.
