“Knowledge is power. Knowledge about what might happen in your future is power, too. As such, it’s important that you have an informed opinion of the promises and perils of artificial superintelligence so you can take effective action.

The decisions they make in the next few years may be of far greater consequence. If you don’t engage with the issues surrounding AI, they will decide your future for you.” - “Uncontrollable”, p. 15
