There are more potential moves on a Go board than there are atoms in the universe; the game is universally considered to be one of the most complex played by humans. And, yet, an AI computer program can play it perfectly. What does that mean for humanity?

Terry Sejnowski is the Frances Crick Chair at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a Distinguished Professor at the University of San Diego, and author of the book "ChatGPT and The Future of AI." Ricky Mulvey caught up with Sejnowski for a conversation about:
- How chatbots work.
- Mapping large neural models.
- What a self-aware parrot can teach us about human consciousness.

AI is a real conundrum, IMO. I can see how computers could turn on mankind at some point, so using severe precaution is a no-brainer. But...on the other hand, we know that China is developing AI it at breakneck speed with the intention of using it militarily...so the U.S. has no choice but to out develop them in order for national security, especially from a military perspective. I don't worry about me with AI, but I do for my grandkids
