Max Tegmark has repeatedly warned of the risks of artificial intelligence. In SVT's 30 minutes, Tegmark elaborates on what he means by AI could eradicate humanity.
He draws parallels to animal species that have recently become extinct. Tegmark calls for tougher regulation of companies, similar to what it looks like in the pharmaceutical industry. He says that if we humans lose control of our society to machines that are much smarter than us, then things can go just as badly. "Almost every time, things have gone pretty badly"
