THE FUTURE IS HERE

Should We Fear Artificial Intelligence? with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye

During the in-studio portion of our episode, “The Future of Humanity with Elon Musk,” Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and co-host Chuck Nice discussed artificial intelligence and Musk’s concern that super-intelligent robots will turn us into their pets. They look at different levels of artificial intelligence: artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence (like IBM’s Watson), and artificial super intelligence, where the real concerns lie. Find out why Neil and Bill are not worried by doomsday scenarios highlighted in movies like “The Terminator,” “Colossus: The Forbin Project,” and “War Games,” or by the changes embodied in Ray Kurzweil’s concept of “The Singularity.”
