About the show

Imagine a machine that could do every mental task any human could do, except faster and better. That machine is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and a consensus is building in Silicon Valley that it is almost upon us. The Observer’s Jamie Bartlett investigates how worried we should really be, when AGI will arrive, and if there is anything we can do to stop this from being the "biggest coin toss in history". Endgame is supported by the Future of Life Institute. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
