Human? A.I.? My Reddit AMA Highlight...

I love doing interviews because answering questions is how I often discover what I really think about something. During last Super Bowl Sunday's Reddit AMA, I was asked: "What will ultimately distinguish us from advanced artificial intelligence?"

I was surprised by my answer: "It's really hard to know what will distinguish us from A.I. until we actually confront it. But if I had to speculate, I think that what distinguishes humans from machines is going to be found in our "wetware" — our blood, our sweat, our tears. And I mean that symbolically, metaphorically, and literally. Our mortality. Maybe this question that advanced A.I. will pose is going to propel us into a new understanding of our humanity and evolution? After all, artificial intelligence is our creation — so it may very well be the trigger we created for us to evolve.

Here's the link to the entire Reddit AMA interview:

Interesting post, @educationvibes! I didn’t know it was possible to study MBBS in Russia without NEET under certain conditions. Really helpful for students who missed NEET but still want to pursue medicine abroad. Could you share more about which Russian universities accept students without NEET and how that affects MCI/NMC eligibility in India?
