A nation of geniuses

The world’s richest companies are racing to build Artificial General Intelligence, advanced AI capable of outperforming humans at nearly every cognitive task. Journalist Jamie Bartlett tries to work out how worried he should be about reports that AGI’s arrival could prove immensely disruptive - even catastrophic. Why are even those building this technology predicting potential disaster, and when could this revolutionary technology arrive? 

Endgame is supported by the Future of Life Institute.
