Artificial general intelligence and international cooperation [audio, poor quality]
Channel: Brian Tomasik
Date: 26/11/2014

This video features the audio of a conversation on 2 Nov. 2014 between Chantal Lutz and Brian Tomasik about artificial general intelligence (AGI) and prospects for international cooperation. For more on this topic, see "Thoughts on Robots, AI, and Intelligence Explosion": http://foundational-research.org/robots-ai-intelligence-explosion/

The audio was originally recorded for Chantal's personal use, so the quality is pretty bad. I thought I would upload it for those who don't mind the audio's echo, but if you do find the echo bothersome, feel free to ignore this video. I also removed a lot of "umm"s and long pauses.
