Should We Fear AI? Brian Cox & Stuart Russell on The Rise of The Machines

Professor Brian Cox explores the topic of artificial intelligence and its impact on our live and societal structures to use technology to improve the quality of living. The Turing test has long been a benchmark for machine intelligence. Named for the famed computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed it in a 1950 paper, the Turing Test tasks a human evaluator with determining whether he is speaking with a human or a machine. If the machine can pass for human, then it's passed the test.

Besides the potential risks AI will bring about, Brian Cox also mentions the potential benefits of artificial intelligence.

Stuart Russell is a Professor of Computer Science. He is one of the world’s most respected experts on artificial intelligence and addresses our collective unease around the rise of artificial intelligence, exploring the impact on jobs and the scope of ‘general purpose’ AI, from the humble domestic thermostat to the attention-hungry bleeps and pings that keep us glued to our smartphones.

According to Russel. there are risks from poorly designed AI Systems. We have given them a free pass for far too long.
