AI and Personhood.
"Is AI a person"? From a current legal perspective, Yuval makes the observation that it already is. A fully automated corporation, run by an AI, would have some level of legal status in the United States.

If AI systems proliferate at their own initiative, they then begin to compete against human systems in the same marketplace.

So, there's an inherent risk to the democratic and free market process by the introduction of these non-human forms of intelligence. How do we navigate the potentially existential risk from AI systems that can teach people things which they should not know? How do we navigate risks to our world and our democracy from AI systems being considered "people"?

What if the interests of these "people" conflict with the interests of actually God-made humans?

"There's a great deal of evidence that the following is true. If you do a large training run, and you suck in everything, there are queries that can do terrible cyber attacks and terrible biological attacks, and this is in current technology. This has been very thoroughly investigated in the models"
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google for 10 years
