My segment with Mark Sutcliffe on CIWW 1310 in Ottawa on my National Post column on the worrying speed at which AI is getting away from us. (Also some discussion of Doug Ford and the Ontario PCs.)
In my latest National Post column I say the breathtaking pace at which artificial intelligence is developing is more important than politics... and even scarier.
“In Mr. Arcand’s film [Les Invasions Barbares], there are many suggestions that, like Rome, our culture has become decadent enough to be vulnerable to barbarians, however unworthy they may be. Most barbarians have the vigour of their appetites, if not the courage of their convictions. The barbarians who savaged America on 9/11 had the courage of their convictions, too."
