À propos de cet épisode

<p>Nick Bostrom is a philosopher at University of Oxford and the director of the Future of Humanity Institute. He has worked on fascinating and important ideas in existential risks, simulation hypothesis, human enhancement ethics, and the risks of superintelligent AI systems, including in his book Superintelligence. I can see talking to Nick multiple times on this podcast, many hours each time, but we have to start somewhere.</p> <p>Support this podcast by signing up with these sponsors:<br /> &#8211; Cash App &#8211; use code &#8220;LexPodcast&#8221; and download:<br /> &#8211; Cash App (App Store): <a href="https://apple.co/2sPrUHe">https://apple.co/2sPrUHe</a><br /> &#8211; Cash App (Google Play): <a href="https://bit.ly/2MlvP5w">https://bit.ly/2MlvP5w</a></p> <p>EPISODE LINKS:<br /> Nick&#8217;s website: <a href="https://nickbostrom.com/">https://nickbostrom.com/</a><br /> Future of Humanity Institute:<br /> &#8211; <a href="https://twitter.com/fhioxford">https://twitter.com/fhioxford</a><br /> &#8211; <a href="https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/">https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/</a><br /> Books:<br /> &#8211; Superintelligence: <a href="https://amzn.to/2JckX83">https://amzn.to/2JckX83</a><br /> Wikipedia:<br /> &#8211; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis</a><br /> &#8211; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_indifference">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_indifference</a><br /> &#8211; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument</a><br /> &#8211; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_catastrophic_risk">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_catastrophic_risk</a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This conversation is part of the Artificial Intelligence podcast.</span>&#160;If you would like to get more information about this podcast go to <a href="https://lexfridman.com/ai">https://lexfridman.com/ai</a> or connect with @lexfridman on <a href="https://twitter.com/lexfridman">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lexfridman/">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lexfridman">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://medium.com/@lexfridman">Medium</a>, or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/lexfridman">YouTube</a> where you can watch the video versions of these conversations.
