Excellent interview.  I felt my brain explode several times as I listened.  What will really impress me is if AI can be programmed for intuition, love, gut instinct, and wonder, otherwise to me it will stay a glorified computation machine.<br><br>I think the possibility of life on other planets is probable because of the convergent evolution that we see on this planet, and the imperative of creation.  I also think that there is a good chance that extraterrestrial intelligent life reached a similar point in their use of energy and resources, and with equally limited social skills they destroyed themselves before they made it off their planet, similar to where we find ourselves today.
