Democracy Under Threat from AI
Artificial intelligence is poised to be one of the most disruptive technologies this century, with its impact already becoming apparent in various areas, including work, cultural production, and identity.
Beyond commercial applications like ChatGPT and debates around AI data centers' rising energy consumption, a larger debate looms: the possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
A machine capable of augmenting its own intelligence is a matter of time — and could even arrive within a decade.
This week's guest, philosopher and author William MacAskill, is a leading thinker in the Effective Altruism movement and author of influential books such as "Doing Good Better" and "What We Owe The Future".
- Author of "Doing Good Better" and "What We Owe The Future"
