“If we develop machines that are much cleverer thanwe are, they might be in a powerful position to shape
the future.” - Professor Nick Bostrom
“AI just makes us smarter. It’s wrong to think of itas alien because, actually, the evidences are that we’re
pretty good at regulating it so we don’t do any damage.”- Dr Joanna Bryson
Slide 5: Clicking on the phrasal verbs leads to their dictionary definitions. Only do that if necessary. Bear in mind that some of them might have more than one meaning.
Slide 14: What’s the general topic of the interview? (AI and their possible threat to humankind.)
Slide 15: Why is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein mentioned? (To illustrate the idea of research and experiments that go out of control.); What could an “alien” AI do? (Take on humans; shape the future of humankind.); What’s the paradox between humans and gorillas according to the interviewee? (Although they are stronger than us, because humans are smarter, their future depends on us, not the other way around. He believes our future might change if we build AI that can become more intelligent than us.)
