Description

The rise of artificial intelligence can potentially transform society more than any other technology we have created. There is nobody better suited to explore the future of AI than Max Tegmark—a man who has helped the public understand how AI could benefit us in our daily lives.  

Will we create jobs for people who are displaced by automation? How can we ensure that today's children get a strong education to lead them toward a good career? How do we work with governments to avoid an international arms race as lethal autonomous weapons become a reality? What does it mean for us when machines can do all the jobs humans can do—and then some? What kind of future do you want?
