Will artificial intelligence save us or kill us? | Us & Them | DW Documentary
Will artificial intelligence save us or kill us all? In Japan, AI-driven technology promises better lives for an aging population. But researchers in Silicon Valley are warning of untamable forces being unleashed– and even human extinction.
Will artificial intelligence make life better for humans or lead to our downfall? As developers race toward implementing AI in every aspect of our lives, it is already showing promise in areas like medicine. But what if it is used for nefarious purposes?
In Japan, the inventor and scientist behind the firm Cyberdyne is working to make life better for the sick and elderly. Professor Yoshiyuki Sankai’s robot suits are AI-driven exoskeletons used in rehabilitative medicine to help stroke victims and others learn to walk again. But he doesn’t see the benefits of AI ending there; he predicts a future world where AIs will live in harmony with humans as a new, benevolent species.
Yet in Silicon Valley, the cradle of AI development, there is an unsettling contradiction: a deep uncertainty among many developers about the untamable forces they are unleashing. Gabriel Mukobi is a computer science graduate student at Stanford who is sounding the alarm that AI could push us toward disaster– and even human extinction. He’s at the forefront of a tiny field of researchers swimming against the current to make sure AI is safe and beneficial for everyone.
What are the promises and perils of AI? And who gets to decide how it will be used?

Amazing..age of abundance!
We'll make great pets.
Usually DW does a good job on their documentaries. I barely got 5 minutes into this and could see that it was going to be a bunch of crap that's trying to paint a specific picture of what they want to say about AI.
We’ve all seen how Ex Machina ends
That Japanese guy is scary as hell. He clearly is the bad guy in a science fiction movie.
Oh look lets name our company after the company that ends the world in nuclear war in the movies great idea.
AI alway kill because some rich people try to control on the poor and middle class people.
"Will AI save us or kill us?" First one, and then the other.
HAL 9000 made this video
There is not one scenario where AI becomes conscious then decide not to end all humans since logic first.
19:46 Ironically, they are campaigning to stop AI with a flayer generated by AI.
DW, Thanks a lot for releasing this documentary in 4K.
Nice
the problem is us humans – it's always been so
This documentary is the worst one I have seen dw do yet? This is just a bunch of people freaking out about zero facts. How about doing a documentary with clear examples. Not all these normies that don’t know how to program. How about interviewing people that actually know what they what they are talking about. This video was produced by a person that should have used AI to make this video ….
We do t need Ai to hurt humanity.Other Humans have been doing this to orher humans fir a very long time.
"The Design Is Very Human"
9:50 probably his brain works so fast or he should be visual learner because he speak too fast or because I am not native , ı cant trace what he say
ı am turkish, japaneese and turkis grammmer system is completely different from western Languages and why japaneese and turks or koreans cant easily learn english is very clear because our systems REALLY different and you french or german.. guys who learn english never understand this we are in big trauble with language and while we learn completely different system, we are successful in these western countries in fields like science, asians work so hard. especially who doesnt born in and doesnt grow up in the western countries and then immigrate to these countries or have to work these countries.
nice touch DW, showing the terminator statue on the same dudes desk at 12:34….while he is saying, "it recognizes the importance of the humans".
It will screw us but we will get used to it. Somehow.
