This is important, I think, because academically I’m based in Oxford. In 2014, Oxford published a philosophy book you may have heard of, “Superintelligence” by Nick Bostrom. He writes that soon AI will take off, train itself recursively and become superintelligence. There will be extinction risk, or perhaps other risks — bio, nuclear, whatever. That book became very popular. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and many others read it and everyone became very scared.
