For the fifth installment of the Artificial Intelligence Series, Darrell Becker and I interview James Barrat.  James is a film maker, public speaker, and an author.   His book, Our Final Invention, masterfully presents the case for why you should be worried about the singularity.    How is AI different from other multi-use technologies?  What are the basic drives that an AI will have?  Can't we just program ethics into AIs and alleviate our worries?  How does James feel about AI depictions in popular media?  We cover all of these questions and more in this delightful conversation!   Click here for the rest of the Artificial Intelligence Series: http://choiceconversations.libsyn.com/her-movie-review-artificial-intelligence-series-part-1 http://choiceconversations.libsyn.com/the-moon-is-a-harsh-mistress-book-review-artificial-intelligence-series-part-2 http://choiceconversations.libsyn.com/transcendence-movie-review-artificial-intelligence-series-part-2 http://choiceconversations.libsyn.com/real-agi-with-peter-
