Is The Fear Of Intelligent Machines Justified? : 13.7: Cosmos And Culture : NPR

 Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom
has been cautioning us about the dangers of a super-intelligence out in
the world. And billionaire Elon Musk, physicists Stephen Hawking and
Martin Rees, Bostrom himself — and more interestingly, Demis Hassabis,
Shane Legg, and Mustafa Suleyman, all co-founders of DeepMind — have
signed an open letter
where they "recommend expanded research aimed at ensuring that
increasingly capable AI systems are robust and beneficial: our AI
systems must do what we want them to do."
