#45: AI and Existential Risk – Huw Price

What are human existential risks and why does Artificial Intelligence rank as one of the most menacing? At the same time, how can we harness and spread the benefits of this revolutionary technology? In this episode we answer these questions and more! Huw Price is the Bertrand Russell Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Cambridge. In 2012, he co-founded the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk and, in 2015, the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, which focuses on AI risks and opportunities.
