I study artificial general intelligence, and I believe the ongoing fearmongering is at least partially attributable to large AI developers’ financial interests.
Some some said AI would not just reach human-level intelligence, but would probably surpass it.
Artificial general intelligence has suddenly become a pressing topic – but there’s more than one way to look at this issue.

Imagine an advanced artificial intelligence took over from Santa. What could go wrong?
There are plenty of guidelines, policy documents and reports on how best we should use AI and avoid unethical practices. So how about we agree on one set of rules?
Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the way we live, work, communicate and travel. So long as it’s designed that way.
