Nick Bostrom on What Happens if AI Solves All of Our Problems
Nick Bostrom
Philosopher Nick Bostrom discusses his new book, Deep Utopia, which explores what human life would look like if AI and robots could solve all material and intellectual problems. Moving beyond his earlier work on existential risk, he considers how we might find meaning, purpose, or satisfaction in a world where machines outperform humans at everything. The conversation contrasts the doomsday scenarios of Superintelligence with the psychological challenges of a solved world, and touches on what we can do now to steer AI toward beneficial outcomes.
