Summary:
It sounds like a scary prospect, but if it's approached in the right way, it could open us up to a much more fulfilling way of life Can AI set us free and make us happier, or will we become bored without all the problems and hassles? Will machines outclass us in every way? The monopolising of AI will lead to mass unemployment and mass welfare, reverberating globally.
