And then, says Nick Bostrom, it will overtake us: \"Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make.\" A philosopher and technologist, Bostrom asks us to think hard about the world we're building right now, driven by thinking machines. Will our smart machines help to preserve humanity and our values \u2014 or will they have values of their own?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Pocket Wisdom Insights (PWI) invites you to explore the following <strong>Co-Lab Blog<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis blog features parts of an influential and insightful video featured outside of the <strong>PWI\u00a0Co-Lab<\/strong><br \/>\nby <strong>Nick Bostrom<\/strong> on June 2016, published by <a title=\"undefined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/nick_bostrom_what_happens_when_our_computers_get_smarter_than_we_are\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted.Com<\/a>.<br \/>\nWe have republished this content in respect of the author\u2019s vision, message and research.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Informational Insights<\/h2>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640;\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/nick_bostrom_what_happens_when_our_computers_get_smarter_than_we_are\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Possibilities for Consideration<\/h2>\n<h3>Take a moment and examine\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As you reviewed the material above, what stood out to you?<\/li>\n<li>What is the potential impact, economically and\/or socially?<\/li>\n<li>What action is needed to stop or support this idea?<\/li>\n<li>You may want to consider whether you:\n<ul>\n<li>want to be <em>aware<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>should become <em>supportive<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>would want to be <em>active<\/em> in this topic?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Add Your Insight<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
