Rudimentary artificial intelligence is here. That voice assistant in your phone is a type of rudimentary AI. Parole officers use a type of rudimentary AI to decide on whether to grant parole to the incarcerated. Many such examples abound.

End-game scenarios range from a golden-age paradise scenario for humans, to an age where humans are inevitably disenfranchised by a higher intelligence. This talk will describe some of these thought experiments.
