Physician executive Bhargav Raman discusses his article, "Why fearing AI is really about fearing ourselves." He argues that the common doomsday predictions about artificial intelligence are a projection of our own human flaws and a misunderstanding of progress. Bhargav asserts that humanity has agency and the responsibility to instill a coherent value system into the AI we create, referencing Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics as a foundational concept. The fear, therefore, is not of the technology itself, but of our own history of violating our purported values. He challenges the anthropocentric view that an advanced AI would share human drives like ego, a need for scarce resources, or a desire for conflict. Even if an AI were to gain independence, he posits it would have little reason to harm humanity and would either collaborate with us or leave to pursue its own form of self-actualization in the universe. The conversation ultimately shifts from fearing a technological apocalypse to addressing the more immediate "human problem" of building and regulating AI responsibly.
