Prof. Max Tegmark speaks with Guardian reporter Steve Rose about the potential of artificial intelligence. “The positive, optimistic scenario is that we responsibly develop superintelligence in a way that allows us to control it and benefit from it,” says Tegmark. “If we can build and control superintelligence, we can quickly go from being limited by our own stupidity to being limited by the laws of physics. It could be the greatest empowerment moment in human history.”
