Should humanity ban autonomous lethal weapons?
Max Tegmark
strongly agrees
and says:
It opens up entirely new possibilities for things that you can do—where you can go into battle or do a terrorist attack with zero risk to yourself, and you can also do it anonymously, because if some drones show up and start killing people somewhere you have no idea who sent them. [...] One of the main factors that limits wars today is that people have skin in the game. [...] Politicians don’t want to see body bags coming home, and even a lot of terrorists don’t want to get killed. (2015) source Verified

Should humanity build artificial general intelligence?
Max Tegmark
strongly disagrees
and says:
I actually do not think it's a foregone conclusion that we will build AGI [artificial general intelligence] machines that can outsmart us all. Not because we can't … but rather we might just not want to. So why are obsessing about trying to build some kind of digital god that's going to replace us, if we instead can build all these super powerful AI tools that augment us and empower us?
