AI is evolving incredibly quickly, and thinking now about where it might go next (and how we as a species and a society should be prepared) is critical. Professor Stuart Russell, an AI expert at UC Berkeley, has a formulation for modifications to AI that we should study and try implementing now to keep it much safer in the long run. Prof. Russell\u2019s new book, \u201cHuman Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control\u201d gives an accessible but deeply thoughtful exploration of why he thinks runaway AI is something we need to be considering seriously now, and what changes in formulation might be a solution. This episodes features Prof. Russell as a special guest, exploring the topics in his book and giving more perspective on the long-term possible futures of AI: both good and bad.\n\nRelevant links:\nhttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/566677/human-compatible-by-stuart-russell/
