Artificial Intelligence Risks and Rewards with Dr. Ben Goertzel
Artificial Intelligence is evolving quickly; some argue faster than humanity can cope with. What can’t be argued is how sweeping the impact of AI will be on the world. As all this continues to unfold, what’s the impact for us now and in the future? And how will it affect the next generation?
In this episode, Dr. Ben Goertzel and I dive deep into the intricacies and possibilities of artificial intelligence and the urgent need for us humans to prepare for this brave new world.
Dr. Ben is a cross-disciplinary scientist, entrepreneur, and author. He leads the SingularityNET Foundation, the OpenCog Foundation, and the AGI Society, which runs the annual Artificial General Intelligence conference.
Dr. Ben also chairs the futurist nonprofit Humanity+ and serves as Chief Scientist of AI firms Singularity Studio, Rejuve, SingularityDAO, and Xccelerando Media, which are all parts of the SingularityNET ecosystem.
If you’d like to understand the benefits, risks and implications of AI from one of the top minds in the field, you’re in the right place. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights from one of the most sought-after futurists. Dr. Ben made a compelling case for decentralizing AI and why it’s our mission not to let it be controlled by a single organization. We even discussed how superintelligent machines connect with spirituality.
