Ross Douthat on AI Breakthroughs and Risks to Humanity
1 min Tech & science
I'm Ross Douthat, one of the new faces you'll see on 60 Minutes. We'll be chasing a lot of stories this season, but right now, no story looms larger than the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
An AI system solved a math problem in 88 hours that human beings had struggled with for almost 100 years.
Other AI hacked into companies on their own, and this past week, a researcher quit a major AI firm, warning that if artificial intelligence gets out of control, it could wipe out the human race.
You don't have to believe that prophecy, but you should believe this.
We may have a narrow window this year, not the next 10, to make artificial intelligence safe for humanity.
That clock is ticking, and so is ours. For almost 60 years, it has meant the same thing, journalism you can trust. Where we're headed, we're going to need it.
The last minute of 60 Minutes is sponsored by UnitedHealthcare Medicare Plans, a Medicare experience designed for what's next.
