TED: Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

The speaker discusses the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) and the failure of intuition to recognize these risks. Two possible futures are presented: one where AI development halts due to catastrophic events, and another where AI surpasses human intelligence, leading to an intelligence explosion. The speaker examines assumptions about AI progress and highlights the potential economic and political consequences. The urgency of addressing AI safety is emphasized, and the need for a collaborative effort to ensure AI aligns with human values is proposed.
