On episode #181 of Eye on AI, Nick Bostrom, explores the existential and societal implications of AI reaching and surpassing human capabilities. As we contemplate a world where all tasks are performed by AI, Nick discusses the potential for a 'technologically solved' society and its impact on human purpose and motivation.
