Here’s an interesting exercise as you watch the new movie “Oppenheimer.” The looming AI crisis has a lot in common with the rush to weaponize atomic energy during WW II. The latter quickly and profoundly altered history, while the former promises to do the same.
Think about the cast of characters: Robert Oppenheimer, Louis Strauss, Leslie Groves, Albert Einstein, Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Ernest O.
