Artificial Intelligence: Expert Richard Socher on the dangers of AI

Richard Socher is an expert in artificial intelligence. In the second part of the big star-Interviews on his ranch in California, he talks about the great potential, but also the limits of what AI can do. He finds the Germans far too skeptical when it comes to dealing with the new technology.

When will we have an AI-powered robot that can handle all human activities?
We are at the beginning of an exponential development, we are experiencing an explosion of capabilities. It’s hard to say how much this exponential increase will grow. As it has been for the last ten years – or will the process level off and slow down at some point? But until we have a super intelligence that is as intelligent as humans – I think that will take longer than many think.
