The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I think it's reasonably likely that we'll get the same with companies too.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I mean, yeah.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

The last thing I'll say is Rory has just been grinning this whole time since we've, in a bemused way, since we've gotten onto artificial intelligence.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

Again, I want to say, like, I'm not like a science fiction person.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I'm not like an AI hype person.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I don't work for a company.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I work for a non-profit.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I would rather, I would like nothing more than to be wrong about all of this stuff.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I have like come to these conclusions, kicking and screaming by the changes that we're seeing and the forecasts that I think follow from some fairly basic.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

Yeah.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

So, I mean, here's, I guess, here's something that's a little bit of optimism in this or something.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

So the world will be getting enormously richer over this time period.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

And I actually differ.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

Won't be shared well.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

Well, so there'll be this one-off redistribution before extraordinarily intense concentration because robots are lagging behind.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

I'm laughing because I know what I'm about to say.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

So, okay, at the moment, robots are lagging quite far behind AI for cognitive skills.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

And this is because when it comes to evolution and how much time evolution has to optimize our brains, well, science is just very new.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

It's not at all what we've evolved for.

The Rest Is Politics: Leading
188. Will AI Give China or the US Total Power? (William MacAskill)

But doing fine motor coordination, me picking up this glass and putting it down, that is extraordinarily complex what I just did.
