The AI Threat to Freedom with Natalie Smolenski
Natalie Smolenski founded and leads the Texas #Bitcoin Foundation. In this interview, we discuss #AI and its progression towards artificial general intelligence, the implications of AI in warfare, issues of #censorship and governance, and the potential for misuse of AI in the future.
"There’s a real question of whether we can survive, as a civilization, the internet, let alone AI."
— Natalie Smolenski
