Is the World Ready for the Age of AI?
In 2018, Amir visited Talks at Google to talk about his book, The Sentient Machine: The Coming Age of Artificial Intelligence, addressing the broad existential questions surrounding the coming of AI: why are we valuable? What can we create in this world? How are we intelligent? What constitutes progress for us? And how might we fail to progress? Having spent the last year traveling around the world discussing these questions with world leaders and others, Amir is back at Google to discuss a global outlook on the urgency and implications of AI, as well as share what he has learned.
