Today on Change Agents, an IRONCLAD original, Andy Stumpf sits down with Tam Hunt to discuss the dangers that artificial intelligence poses to humanity.

Tam Hunt is a public policy lawyer, author, and scholar. He is an Affiliate Guest in Psychology at the University of California Santa Barbara’s META Lab, where he focuses on topics like the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. His work covers several disciplines including renewable energy, neuroscience, philosophy, consciousness, foreign policy, and artificial intelligence.

He is the author of the widely shared opinion piece that ran in Scientific American titled “Here’s Why AI May Be Extremely Dangerous—Whether It’s Conscious or Not.” The crux of his piece is this: “Artificial intelligence algorithms will soon reach a point of rapid self-improvement that threatens our ability to control them and poses great potential risk to humanity.”
