“For most people in this room the most likely reason they will die is because of an ai accident”
AI takeover scenario
AI systems would make decisions for humans, similar to how humans control Earth today.
“Where ai systems call the shots in the same sense that humans today call the shots and what happens on earth”
Stopping AI is ineffective

“If you or me or donald trump wanted to stop ai systems they would be as ineffective as if you or me was trying to stop the us military”
