Episode Summary

\\u201cMy interest is artificial intelligence. Specifically I\\u2019m trying to understand how to control it and how to make sure it\\u2019s beneficial for everyone.\\u201c

\\u201cYou\\u2019re not going to find some perfect role model. Take something good from a dozen people.\\u201d

\\u201cWhatever the product is, people will find ridiculous ways to abuse it. You need to see this ahead of time and get ready for it.\\u201c

\\u201cIf a system is smarter than you, you cannot predict what its actually going to do. By definition. If you could, you\\u2019d be just as smart.\\u201d\\xa0
