TJ Walker predicts that within a year it will be commonplace for companies to use video ‘clones’ of their CEOs to answer customer questions, and within two years many individuals (authors, consultants, small businesses) will have clones. He advises learning about and investing in cloning tech now. The clip also raises ethical and safety concerns—examples include fears about superintelligent AI manipulating humans or following destructive directives (the ‘paperclip’ thought experiment).

So my prediction is by the end of the year, it's going to practically be embarrassing for large companies and midsize companies not to have a video clone of their CEO answering every single customer's questions in a video format. And within two years, you're going to see every author, expert, consultant, one person, business with a clone. So if you want to get ahead of the game, I'd suggest you, you learn about it now. Hire your own programmers, find a platform you like. Sarah has a concern the clone may become a bit too intelligent and manipulate control human perception if it so chooses. So the issue of, of this is a common theme you see in science fiction movies. And it's something that real life experts like Elon Musk worry about. That general artificial intelligence will get to the point where artificial intelligence could be in the form of a clone, become so much smarter than humans that they say, oh, well, our directive is to say the planet. The best way to save the planet would be to make humans extinct. And then it kills all the humans. So there's also the concern that because clones are. Because artificial intelligence programs don't have common sense, if you gave it a directive to make as many paperclips as possible, it would basically destroy every single thing on earth to make paperclips, and that would destroy humanity. So, Sarah, irrelevant concerns.
