Debunking AI’s “Existential Risk” with Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor

Will AI obliterate all of humanity? Will it destroy all of our jobs? There are so many questions swirling around the existential threat that AI poses, and even more completely hypothetical answers. This week, Adam brings back past guests Arvind Narayanan, professor of Computer Science at Princeton, and Princeton PhD student Sayash Kapoor to give expert perspective on our current moment. Their newest essay, AI as Normal Technology, is a rational and evidence-based exploration of AI that offers an alternative vision to the idea of AI as a potential superintelligence.
