Debating People On The Street About AI Doom

Doom Debates

About this episode

We took Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares’s new book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, on the streets to see what regular people think.

Do people think that artificial intelligence is a serious existential risk? Are they open to considering the argument before it’s too late? Are they hostile to the idea? Are they totally uninterested?

Watch this episode to see the full spectrum of reactions from a representative slice of America!
