How AI Is Saving Humanity

Underknown
About this episode

"The first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make." This statement was made by mathematician Irving John Good in 1965. He was envisioning a machine smarter than any human who had ever lived, one that would design even smarter machines and leave humans in the dust. Now, while we still haven't created an ultra-intelligent machine, we have successfully created something that could end our species.  But if used correctly, could also save us.
