Closing Remarks: Stuart J. Russell: “This impending transition to a world where we are joined by superhuman entities, if that’s the biggest event in human history, then it seems that everyone should be involved in decisions about whether and how this happens. At the moment the ones making the decisions are the CEOs of the companies and I think they have a vested interest in this question. A couple of them have said that there’s a significant chance like 10 or 25% chance of human extinction. So they are deciding to play Russian roulette with the entire human race without our permission. I would not let someone come into my house and play Russian roulette with one of my children. Would you? So why are we letting them do this with every single human being who’s alive? That’s my closing thought.”
