Willis highlighted various nightmare scenarios surrounding AI, differentiating between fictional representations like those in The Matrix or Terminator—which he does not find particularly concerning—and realistic fears, primarily revolving around economic disruption. The emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which could outperform humans in all tasks, raises critical questions about future employment and economic structures. However, Willis expressed skepticism regarding the immediate onset of AGI, arguing that such claims are often driven by funding motives rather than genuine technological readiness.
