Why AI Will Save the World

AI will not destroy the world and, in fact, has the potential to greatly benefit humanity by augmenting human intelligence and improving various aspects of life, from education to healthcare to scientific research. The current panic surrounding AI is driven by a combination of irrational fear and self-interest, with some actors using the panic to push for regulations that serve their own agendas. It is important to objectively evaluate the risks and opportunities of AI rather than succumbing to moral panic.
