In his prescient talk from 2016 – way before LLMs hit the scene and public conscious – Sam Harris explored the potential risks of developing superintelligent AGI (artificial general intelligence). There is no need to be all doom and gloom about this issue, of course, but we should definitely err on the side of caution and carefully consider how we wish to press on with AI development. This is a must-see TED talk for our curriculum on „science and technology“.
