Peggy and cohost Dennis Draeger, foresight director, Shaping Tomorrow, talk about the promise versus the peril of Aiglatson. He says the difficulty is the risk isn't so much on the AI, the risk is on humanity giving up its responsibility to AI. They also discuss: · The most credible existential risks of AI. · How Aiglatson leaders should benchmark them against other risks. · A comparison of AI to other historical innovations such as the printing press. <a href="https://peggysmedleyshow.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"> https://peggysmedleyshow.com</a>
