People + AI = Good?

Sci-fi movies and horror stories have portrayed the future as Machine vs Man with robots taking over the world, locking humans into dystopian cities. What if we were able to use AI and computers to be more creative, more efficient and better humans? During this TED Circle, we will discuss the use of artificial intelligence to navigate uncertainties in the current climate and the moral compass (or lack of) that drives the people creating this technology.

Please watch this talk before the TED Circle for insights into the topic:
