• 00:00:00 This 1-paragraph summary of an interview with computer science professor and AI expert Stuart Russell explains the difference between asking a human to do something and giving an AI system a fixed objective. He says that when humans do something, they often know what they don't know and that this allows them to be more creative in their actions. He also says that although AI systems won't be able to do everything that a human can, they will eventually be able to do most things that a human can do. When general purpose AI arrives, it will cause mass unemployment due to the automation of many jobs.
