Managing The Artificial Intelligence Risk (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Artificial intelligence has always struck humans as exciting and scary. We can’t resist it. And we don’t know where it will take us. Now that we’re talking to Siri and going where Google Maps point us and contemplating self-driving cars, it’s getting more present, more palpable. And still come the warnings. Elon Musk calls AI our biggest existential threat. Stephen Hawking asks if it can ever be controlled at all. Musk and others are funding an effort to design safe AI. That will not take over the world. Can that be done? This hour On Point: controlling artificial intelligence. / Tom Ashbrook
