Artificial intelligence (AI) is a popular element in technological apocalypse stories and has been since a surprisingly early period in Earth's history of fiction literature. However, what is forgotten is that not all AI in fiction is presented as being apocalyptic. Although murderous AI has been explored in fiction since the 1886 novel Wreck of the World by Reginald Colebrooke Reade (under his pen name "William Grove"), AI is most often attributed to end-of-the-world scenarios.

In an exclusive interview, Peter Hegemann said AI is more dangerous than optogenetics. Contrary to popular belief, there is very little chance that optogenetics will be used in the future to control the human brain, says Peter Hegemann, a biochemist and biophysicist, in a conversation with Interesting Engineering (IE) at the Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2023.
