The fundamental idea is, how should we as a world react if and when AI develops a degree of autonomy or agency? [...] Once we do that, we do cross a Rubicon. If that happens, by the way, there’s debate among experts; some say in the next 18 months, some say not within 80 years. But once you cross that Rubicon, you’re in a very different world.
