An AI Expert Warning: 6 People Are (Quietly) Deciding Humanity’s Future! We Must Act Now!

Steven Bartlett interviews Professor Stuart Russell, a leading AI expert, about the risks and potential benefits of artificial general intelligence (AGI). They discuss the possibility of human extinction due to uncontrolled AI development, comparing it to the "gorilla problem" and the myth of King Midas. Russell expresses his concerns about the current race to develop AGI without adequate safety measures, the potential for economic disruption, and the need for government regulation. He also explores the challenges of creating AI that aligns with human values and the potential societal implications of a world where AI can perform all human work, and what actions the average person can take.
