Success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation.
Alongside the  benefits, AI will also bring dangers.
Like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many.
It will bring great disruption to our economy,
and in the future AI could develop a will of its own, a will that is in conflict with ours.
In short, the rise of powerful AI will be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity.
We do not yet know which.
