The Risks Posed by Artificial Intelligence A conversation between Nate Hagens and Daniel Schmachtenberger

I hope you are familiar with the work of Daniel Schmachtenberger. Daniel is a futurist, philosopher, and thought leader in complex systems, existential risk, and global cooperation.

In this recent conversation, Artificial Intelligence and The Superorganism with Nate Hagens, Daniel discusses the risk posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to our global systems and planetary stability, exploring how AI not only exacerbates existing risks but also accelerates the overall crisis we face, highlighting the crucial role of wisdom versus intelligence and questioning whether we can alter our course or if AI will become the tipping point that pushes our current system into chaos.

The conversation lasts for three hours, predominantly a monologue from Daniel. However, like many of his other YouTube videos, it’s hard to stop listening to him due to his profound insights regarding the issues we face in the world today.

I found the concept of the multipolar trap striking. It’s a critical notion but often overlooked, and I am documenting it in my blook to increase awareness and understanding of its significance.
