Mo Gawdat argues we can't stop AI development because of capitalism and global economic dependence on the internet. He calls it a prisoner's dilemma where every nation and company fears falling behind if they pause, making the genie impossible to put back in the bottle.
The idea is that people don't understand because people that you tell about AI and the possible threat of AI will tell you, okay, you know what? If it's threatening us, we'll switch it off. We'll just cut the electricity supply to it. No, that's not going to happen. Right. You know, if we feel threatened by it, we're going to just get together and stop developing it. No, that's not going to happen. I think the reality of the matter is that between a prisoner's dilemma, that that was created by capitalism and our economic dependence on the Internet, it's almost impossible. It's not almost, is impossible to stop AI So when I say in the first inevitable of scary smart, that AI will happen, I by that I mean that's it. The genie is out of the bottle. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Right.
