Part 4/8:
As Artificial Superintelligence progresses, a prevalent fear is whether it will pose a threat to humanity. The speaker recognizes this anxiety but asserts that much of it stems from projecting human characteristics onto AI. Contrary to popular dystopian narratives, current forms of AI do not possess a sense of time or urgency, nor do they exhibit greed or vengeance.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing AI as significantly different from humans. AI lacks a concrete self-concept; it is defined not by desires or self-preservation but by its programming to follow specific instructions. This egolessness diminishes concerns about AI pursuing harmful goals on its own accord.
