Jude Goldman and Greg Kerber discuss the vision of AI often portrayed in popular culture is that of humanoid robots with human-like emotions and capabilities, the reality of AI is far more complex and nuanced. True AI would require not just advanced computational power, but a fundamental understanding of how consciousness and cognitive processes work in the human brain.   One area of debate in the field of AI is the potential of these intelligent machines to pose a threat to humanity. While some theorists, like Greg Kerber, believe that a truly sentient and conscious AI would be benevolent and not harm mankind, others express concern that the development of super-intelligent machines could lead to unintended consequences, such as loss of jobs or even the possibility of machines viewing humans as a liability or threat to their own existence.
