#E26 Understanding the Implications of Sentient AI and the Role of Humanity in a Digital-First Future with Tech Expert and Futurist Theo Priestley

“I do see artificial general intelligence, AI that is capable of human-level intellect and creativity, [become a reality] within 10 years, which kind of poses a problem because it does give us a countdown in a sense.” 

“If we are complacent and wait for it to happen, then it will be too late. Because at that point in time, you will be talking to your computer or through an interface like you and I are talking. There’s no going back from that point.”

On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Theo Priestley, a renowned futurist, tech expert and international speaker. 

With a long history of being involved in the tech world, Theo shares insights about what we can expect from artificial intelligence once we reach the point of singularity, when AI becomes as intelligent as humans, and how we will have to contend with a new type of sentient beings.

Will AI develop to the point where humans become obsolete? Will we all serve an AI overlord? Will we merge with technology to keep up with this new machine intelligence? Will chips and device implants make us more susceptible to influence and manipulation? 

Tune in to this exciting conversation as we explore the implications of sentient AI, digital twins, and longer lives.
