How to get empowered, not overpowered, by AI | Max Tegmark
Many artificial intelligence researchers expect AI to outsmart humans at all tasks and jobs within decades, enabling a future where we're restricted only by the laws of physics, not the limits of our intelligence. MIT physicist and AI researcher Max Tegmark separates the real opportunities and threats from the myths, describing the concrete steps we should take today to ensure that AI ends up being the best -- rather than worst -- thing to ever happen to humanity.

Max Tegmark - Physics of Consciousness
How to explain our inner awareness that is at once most common and most mysterious? Traditional explanations focus at the level of neuron and neuronal circuits in the brain. But little real progress has motivated some to look much deeper, into the laws of physics — information theory, quantum mechanics, even postulating new laws of physics.

Max Tegmark - What is Space-Time?
Einstein showed that space and time are essentially the same thing, a single entity called 'spacetime'. But space and time seem so radically different. How could space and time be literally the same thing? How would spacetime change our understanding of space and time? What are the implications?
