Ted:
As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex, and as machine become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more and more of their decisions for them. Simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep this system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People wont be able to just turn the machines off because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off will amount to suicide

As society and the problems that face it
00:00:03.803 --> 00:00:05.705
become more and more complex
00:00:05.738 --> 00:00:08.741
and as machines become more and more intelligent
00:00:08.774 --> 00:00:11.611
people will let machines make more and more
00:00:11.644 --> 00:00:13.579
of their decisions for them
00:00:13.613 --> 00:00:15.781
simply because machine made decisions
00:00:15.815 --> 00:00:19.001
will bring better results than manmade ones
00:00:21.854 --> 00:00:23.089
Eventually a stage may be reached
00:00:23.923 --> 00:00:26.999
at which the decisions necessary to keep
00:00:26.125 --> 00:00:28.761
the system running will be so complex that human beings
00:00:28.794 --> 00:00:31.831
will be incapable of making them intelligently
00:00:31.864 --> 00:00:35.101
At that stage the machines will be in effective control
00:00:35.134 --> 00:00:37.087
People won't be able to just turn the machines
00:00:37.904 --> 00:00:39.906
off because they will be so dependent on them
00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:42.441
that turning them off would amount to suicide
