Dutch National TV: AI in ‘Buitenhof’

Yesterday, on Dutch national television (in Dutch, I am afraid), the Dutch philosopher of culture Jos de Mul discussed the doomsday predictions of people like Stephan Hawking warning for AI taking over some day. Jos de Mul takes a stance I agree with: we do not need the doomsday picture to be worried about how we are becoming more and more dependent on AI. There is danger in outsourcing responsibilities to machines, and this is already true for machines far less capable of intelligence or cognition than we are.
