And I think that's one of the challenges.

I think that politics, global politics, is particularly ill-prepared to deal with both the opportunities and threats.

Because the advocates of AI, I think, have probably got a bit of a blind spot to some of the risks.

And the people who are fearful of AI have got a blind spot to the opportunities.

And like everything boring, the truth will sit somewhere between the two.

You look at science fiction from the time we grew up, and we're about the same kind of vintage.

You look at science fiction from the time when we grew up, and it was like household robots and flying cars and that kind of stuff.

No one had thought of the mobile phone, and no one had thought that every single person in a developed country could have on-demand access to the entirety of human knowledge, but mainly spends time looking at cat videos and pornography.

Yeah.

And we'll have the same with AI.

I think in some areas, it'll be much, much more transformational than we can get our heads around.

And in other ways, if we had a time machine travel forward 10 years, there'll be lots of things which are very, very, very familiar that we thought would be transformed.

and trying to guess which one it's going to be is kind of almost impossible.

There are some things that we know we need to be very, very careful of.

AI hallucination,

is a massive problem ai's ability to do the brute force attacks on on digital security systems or you know right viruses right penetration code is really really worrying ai's inability to recognize its own errors and to lie i mean ai like there was a there was something um

where some people were testing, I can't remember which one it was, but they were testing it.

And not only did it lie, or not only did it hallucinate, when it got pulled up on it, it lied about it.

And when it got pulled up on that, it lied again.

And the thing is, of course, AI is trying to replicate humans because we've told it to replicate humans.
