    Never reluctant to showcase their artificial intelligence about matters of culture and politics at fancy cocktail parties, Adam and Jeff consider some of the pressing concerns about the brave new world of artificial intelligence. They also discuss the fine line between extremely sophisticated calculators and sentient machines that are able to reason independently of any inputs or commands. They point out that many pioneers in the AI field want to restrict or limit its use even though it is likely that bad actors and bad governments would evade or simply ignore any global treaties restricting the uses of AI. Although Jeff has great faith in the wisdom and judgment of government regulators, he is concerned that there are very few bureaucrats who know enough about AI to be able to offer meaningful regulations. Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics are cited by Adam as a possible general code that could be incorporated into the development of future AI applications but there is always the nagging concern that nasty countries will do whatever they can to take advantage of any self-imposed limitations undertaken by other signatories to AI-related treaties.
