It seems obvious to me that IA is where the tremendous benefits to society occur. Imagine a world where everyone has the equivalent of a genius IQ today. A lot of problems suddenly disappear.<p>AI, on the other hand, while very useful, doesn&#x27;t change people. And frankly, most problems we have are because people lack understanding. I don&#x27;t know about you, but I don&#x27;t actually want to replace mankind with something else, I just want us all better.<p>Of course, what &quot;better&quot; is--is highly debatable, so that definitely gives pause as well.
