Artificial Intelligence: An Existential Threat?

It is not an understatement to say that Artificial Intelligence may be the most important technology human beings will ever create. Can it be employed to enhance the quality of our lives, or will it pose an existential risk to humanity? Today we are joined by Stuart Russell, professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and the author of Human Compatible: AI and the Problem of Control, Marcus du Sautoy, Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford and author of The Creativity Code, and Mathias Gonzalez, Head of Investment Specialists, Middle East and Africa at Pictet Wealth Management.
