How to Create AI That Can Safely Navigate Our World - An Interview With Andre Platzer - Future of Life Institute

Over the last few decades, the unprecedented pace of technological progress has allowed us to upgrade and modernize much of our infrastructure and solve many long-standing logistical problems. For example, Babylon Health's AI-driven smartphone app is helping assess and prioritize 1.2 million patients in North London, electronic transfers allow us to instantly send money nearly anywhere in the world, and, over the last 20 years, GPS has revolutionized how we navigate, how we track and ship goods, and how we regulate traffic.

As a result, it becomes challenging to plan for the future and ensure that the necessary safety features are in place.
