Part 1 in interview with Robin Hanson on The Age of Em. We cover the nature of ems and their social systems, how they compare to AI and whether they might be the only form of AGI for some time in the future, approaches to prediction (generally & specific to the book), and particular concrete predictions about the impacts of emulations on our civilization tomorrow and into the far future

What would happen if we upload our brains to computers? | Robin Hanson

Published on Sep 9, 2017


Meet the "ems" -- machines that emulate human brains and can think, feel and work just like the brains they're copied from. Economist and social scientist Robin Hanson describes a possible future when ems take over the global economy, running on superfast computers and copying themselves to multitask, leaving humans with only one choice: to retire, forever. Glimpse a strange future as Hanson describes what could happen if robots ruled the earth.
