Why Fear Is The Wrong Response To AI

there's a lot of people that are genuinely scared about AI, and they're scared about their jobs, their kids' futures, their relevance. So what do you say to that specific person?

I'd say 2 or 3 things. Number 1, fear of the unknown almost never plays a productive role. We don't know what the future holds. No one does. And let me just tell you, the leaders of these AI companies do not know. We are creating something that is emergent and dynamic, and we really don't know what the future holds. Number 2, your gut hunch is right. Unfortunately, it seems that we as humans need pain to address our issues, to look at our reflection in the mirror and to change. And I think that this is a massive opportunity for humanity to face the reality of a machine that is more intelligent than you are or than I am, a machine that's going to change our lives and our children and grandchildren's lives, but to face it with ease, love, and grace.
