Peterson Warns AI Development Requires Ethical Human Development to Avoid Catastrophe

What was said

"We're going to teach hyper intelligent machines to be like us. So we better be good. Well, how should you be good? Is there even any such thing? And the thing is we don't really have we don't have a solid theory of that exactly. We're very confused about that."

Peterson argues that the development of artificial intelligence presents an unprecedented ethical challenge because AI will learn from human behavior. He contends that while Western civilization developed technological prowess through alchemy and science, it left ethical development unconscious and underdeveloped. Peterson warns this gap could prove catastrophic as AI systems become more powerful.
