So I won't make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight.

Hi, I'm Ivan Penn.

I'm an energy reporter for The New York Times.

I think a lot of people take electricity for granted, but it's an essential piece of some of the biggest stories right now.

The rise of artificial intelligence, the threat of climate change, and the real challenges that everyday people are facing with increasing electric bills.

I spend my days talking to experts, sometimes traveling to really remote places, and investigating the role that energy plays in these huge issues.

I'm just one of hundreds and hundreds of journalists at The Times, experts in what they cover, who carry the same level of commitment to their reporting.

And that's the beauty of The New York Times.

Long term, the AI is going to be in charge, to be totally frank, not humans.

If artificial intelligence vastly exceeds the sum of human intelligence, it is difficult to imagine that any humans will actually be in charge.

We just need to make sure that AI is friendly.

We may be able to give people, if somebody's committed a crime, a more humane form of containment of future crime, which is if you say, like, you now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime.

But other than that, you get to do anything.

It's just going to stop you from committing crime.

That's really it.

You don't have to put people in, like, prisons and stuff.
