About this episode
WHAT HAPPENS when machines become smarter than us?
Dr. Stuart Armstrong, a Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) at Oxford University, discusses his book Smarter Than Us: The Rise of Machine Intelligence. He talks about the challenges of programming a so-called "friendly AI", the difficulty in defining a "good" future as a target for said AI, and the reason that the FHI considers an artificial superintelligence a potential threat to the survival of the human race.
Notes: Here is the link to the article Derek mentioned at the end of the show: Scientists Discover That Atheists Might Not Exist, and That's Not a Joke
For another view on that topic, see It is nearly impossible for an atheist to exist… or science writers for that matter
Derek and Sharon Gilbert will be at the Prophecy in the News Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit July 25-27, 2014 at the Marriott Hotel in Colorado Springs. Watch for information here.
