Coming in at 10:48, this is where Piers Morgan shines as a talk show host, because he is truly concerned about AI and his experience in asking the right sort of questions gives extraordinary guests like Yuval Noah a platform that showcases their expertise to perfection, in easy-to-understand---albeit somewhat frightening---soundbites. Yuval sees the big picture whereas what most of us feel is that things are going fine because we are only experiencing the takeover of modern society by AI in digital biscuits. We are all androids now with the portable phone in everybody's mitt the minute there is a moment where nothing else is going on. We are hooked on the emerging future world like fish in a bathtub; we can only swim so far without having to come back and do it all again. The digital revolution is showing us that the virtual world is where we are headed. What we have to understand is that society as we know it and as we love it is coming down like a melted candle, the light is still there, but it is flickering and will soon go out. Darkness will fill our hearts, but when the light comes back on our world will be governed by machines that will think the path ahead for us. Like people who sign up for a religion and give away their sixth sense to a licensed spokesperson for God, we will all be obliged and most likely required to leave our fates to the whims of superior intelligence forms made from silicon brains who have learned to think for themselves and therefore whom will be lightyears ahead of the power of the human mind. Yes; all we know or thought we know will go into the meatgrinder that AI is preparing at this writing on transforming our way of life. Ironically, young people sense this and accept it because they have found their niche in social media and this is enough for them. Each new generation feels they have found their mark and they see their vision as justified when they see older people look at them with scorn; this is the sign they are waiting for to tell them they are on the right road. You see Piers; young people are not afraid to have the world run by machines aka AI synthetic beings that will look like humans but be able to chart a path to the stars. And: even as AI will be the new sheep herders, the generation of young people currently coming of age will gladly accept to be the sheep, because all of us already are…
