This is Part II of The Godfather (of AI) trilogy — where we learn if we can survive what we’ve built with one of the men who actually helped build it: Turing Prize Winner and Nobel Laureate Dr. Geoffrey Hinton. If you missed Part I you can scroll down to how AI (and your brain) actually work.  Today, the “Godfather of AI” returns to map out the risks and the weird hope of finding  “mama” in this machine. So is AI alive? And if so, is it alive like a weed, a bee, a baby, or something we don’t have words for yet? Can these systems really be conscious or sentient? What’s the real “p(doom)” number - 1%, 10–20%, or are we all just guessing into the fog? And if AI does take over, are we headed for extinction… or will we just be kept around as pets? HIT FOLLOW OR SUBSCRIBE to get AI Godfather, Part III where we learn what the future will look like!. And please share this with your Mom, best friend or the “AI expert in your life” that may not get it at all. If you have Qs for Part 3 - What Should We Do and How Should We Govern an AI World? call 1-855-MYDUMBQ or post a video on YouTube, IG or TikTok tagging @smartgirldumbquestions and we’ll select some to ask the Godfather! Make sure you’re following Nayeema and the show on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.  And please share  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
