And for the rest of us, well, I don't really know.

That's the big challenge.

Elon Musk already this week announcing a deal with competitor Anthropic, which suggests that he is not very...

positive on the outcome of his own AI company and also, I think, is choosing the moment to try and stick it once again to open AI's biggest competitor.

Yeah, I think that they have different views of how the world might be brought down.

And both of them, I think, are equally partly delusional.

Elon Musk's view of bringing down the world is literally that the world could be brought down.

That if we go too far with the development of AI, we end up with a superintelligence, a Terminator-style machine that could end up killing us all.

I think that's in part...

Just his love of sci-fi and the fact that he's also developing humanoid robots through Tesla.

So he's putting two and two together and getting five there.

For Sam Altman, I think there's this idea that economically and in terms of our...

Working world, everything will change because AI is a hugely powerful tool and open AI is putting this into businesses, into the workplace, into our workforces in lots of different ways.

And I think that he sees this, he's a real true believer in the transformational elements of this and believes that actually we could see massive economic upheaval because of the disappearance of entry-level jobs.

Thank you.

Thanks, Coco.

Thanks, Coco.

Yeah, weird U-turn, isn't it? Yeah, we had the Splechley Park Summit around about 18 months ago, where we were told the Terminator is coming to life and we should all prepare for it. And now, suddenly, everything is rosy. AI safety has turned into AI opportunities, but let's also really quietly whisper about the jobs that are going to be displaced. And we should all embrace it.

We're going to become AI junkies, according to the government. We were meant to be mainlining AI into our veins as a country or something weird like that. So we're going to be shambling from one thing to another, seeking the next buzz from artificial intelligence, it seems.
