WARNING: Listening to this episode may result in a future hyper-intelligent artificial intelligence deciding to kill you. Or so says a theory / logical exercise popular among artificial intelligence researchers called Roko’s Basilisk.

But if you are willing to assume that risk, listen to our show as we discuss the present and the future of artificial intelligence with special guest host Caleb Watney. AIs are right now being used for criminal justice reform, targeted genetic medicine, and other aspects of daily life, but researchers anticipate a point not that far in the future when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. That moment, sometimes referred to as the Singularity, promises both deep potential and potential peril.

What is Artificial Intelligence? What is “machine-learning”? How does pattern recognition help our everyday lives? How do you get an AI to be good at something that, by definition, we can’t train it on? Are there concerns we should have about the government utilizing Artificial Intelligence?
