AI safety, AGI & impact Videos Recommended on Hacker News (77)
AI safety, AGI & impact is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 77 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2012 and 2026 — 174 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
AI safety and societal impact: AGI, alignment, existential risk, AI ethics, automation and jobs, AI regulation, AI in education, AI timelines, Bostrom, Yudkowsky, interviews on the future of AI.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on What Happened to Horses Is Happening to Us: “Excellent video on the subject: CGPGrey - Humans Need Not Apply” — an HN commenter, 2015.
