AI Needs a Containment Plan

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of AI, believes AI could surpass human intelligence in 5 to 20 years. That's a pretty short time frame, and what happens after that is unpredictable. Some experts think AI will follow human-set goals. Others worry AI might develop its own, and we won't be able to control it. The fact that AI can instantly share knowledge across copies gives it a huge advantage over humans, making it a superior form of intelligence.
