 |  Should we fear AI?  | AI is a technology. Like any other knowledge it can be used for good or bad. \\ The threat lies with humans, not with machines -- human abuse of knowledge goes back to the stone age. \\ By the time the course is finished you will be in a good position to make up your own mind about this.  |
 |  Is AGI Possible?  | Short answer: Yes, in principle. The Devil is in the details.  |
