Ep. 19 - Derek Leben: Pascal's Wager & Anti-Natalism for AI

1 hour 14 minutes

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Derek Leben about his recent Philosophy Now article, Pascal’s Artificial Intelligence Wager. We talk about Pascal's wager applied to AI, the control problem, consciousness, our ability to control the course of AI development, and the meaning that grounds moral realism.
