Is artificial superintelligence (ASI) imminent? In this episode, Adam Ford assesses the evidence and ethical importance of artificial intelligence; its opportunities and risks. Drawing on the history of progress in AI and how today it surpasses peak human capability in some domains, he presents forecasts about further progress. Adam also explores the notion of intelligence and what aspects are missing in AI now and how 'understanding' arises in biological intelligence and how it could be realised in AI over the next decade or two. He concludes with takes on ideal AI outcomes and some recommendations for increasing the likelihood of achieving them.
