#2 Oren Etzioni - Joe Biden, Philosophy of AI, and the Future of Intelligence

Oren Etzioni, founding CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and co-founder of Vercept, joins Yash to discuss his meeting with President Joe Biden, the path to artificial general intelligence, how to know if AI is about to destroy civilization, simulated vs genuine empathy, and how our conceptualizations of free will, the self, and consciousness inform our views on if AI progress really is creating human intelligence.
