An interesting debate between Ben Goertzel and Hugo de Garis which is a continuation of their written debate in March. Recorded at the Hong Kong H+ event in December with Kelly Larson.
A species dominance war – a battle between humans and AI machines – is one way that the mid-term future could pan out, but we have no reason to think it’s the most likely way. And it’s possible that focusing on this sort of outcome too much (as many of our science fiction movies have, just because it makes good theater) may even increase the odds of it happening. Sometimes life follows fiction, because the movies someone sees and the books they read help shape their mind.
- Ben Goertzel from interview ...it seems likely millions of Americans at least, will have become conscious of the species dominance issue. Within five years, it is probable that your average educated person will be as aware of the species dominance issue as he is today of the climate change issue
