Intelligence Into Everday Objects
[03:37]
The intelligence of some of these may be stupid systems that are out there. And he references planes driven into the side of mountains by suicidal pilots.

In contrast, you could bake some intelligence into everyday items so that they're not just an aircraft, but an aircraft with a general set of guidelines, like, never land in a way that would risk human life.
Cyberwar
[09:50]
With current technologies today, for instance, drones, if you had a swarm of say, a billion drones with explosives on them and face recognition, you can take over an entire country. And people could, in any way, with electromagnetic bombs or something like that, try to get them rid of them. But there are so many pieces of the swarm, and they're very cheap to manufacture, that it could be a completely new and very targeted way of warfare. So those things are potentially scary as well.
AI in the Job Market
[14:04]

For example, the computer initially came up with someone who would compute and do those computations, whether through a calculator, by hand. And those people are out of jobs.
