[0:00]Professor, you've been very outspoken about the threat AI poses. Can you explain your stance to the average American?

[0:11]Um, I'm sorry, what? Can you explain your stance on AI to the average American? Uh, certainly. Um, to be clear, I'm not anti-AI. I just beavis- uh, believe- I believe AI needs to be properly regulated. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Professor, is there a problem? Um, yeah. There's a gentleman in your audience who looks strikingly similar to Beavis from the cartoon Beavis and Butt-Head. Just a little distracting. I'm not familiar with that cartoon, but would it help if he moved seats? Yeah. Yeah, that might be a good idea. It's the gentleman in the blue shirt and blond pompadour. Sir-

[1:08]Sir, do you mind moving? I'm sorry. Are you talking about me? I have no idea what's going on. I'm sorry. What? Yes, can you move seats? Uh, okay. Sure. I'm sorry. I just, I've never heard of that cartoon character. And you really never watched Beavis and Butt-Head when you were a teenager? No, I was pretty, so I was going to parties and hooking up. Now, Professor, if AI is left unregulated, what is your worst-case scenario? Uh, well, in simplest terms, it becomes so intelligent that it deems humans unnecessary and kills us all. But if human beings created the AI, can't we just program it to not do that? Well, it depends. Oh my God. Are you serious?

[2:05]What? I think that's a valid question. No! Now, there's a gentleman behind you that looks like Butt-Head. Professor, just because our audience members aren't as informed on the issue as you, doesn't make them "Butt Heads." Butt-Head from the cartoon. He's Beavis' friend. I'd really like to move on and discuss AI, so would you like him to move? Yes! Thank you. The man with the gray shirt and exposed gums. Sir?

[2:54]Can you kindly move seats?
