Cell phones made my life easier. So did the internet.

Artificial intelligence may enrich it even more.

But lots of people are worried.

"Stop AI or we're all going to die!" shout protesters.

It's possible that AI will decide that we humans are in the way and imprison us or kill us. Not likely, say AI specialists, but possible.

Anthropic's CEO just warned that AI is advancing faster than our ability to control it. He and other AI executives say they want to slow it down.

He proposes embedding independent "evaluators" inside his company to assess risks. He also wants international coordination and federal regulation that would slow his competitors' innovations too.

Has that ever worked? I don't think so.

"The anti-AI movement makes all the same mistakes as the anti-fossil fuel movement," says author Alex Epstein in my new video. "They deny the huge benefits of something and totally exaggerate the hazards and ignore all the ways we have of solving them."
