It seems difficult to be neutral about the prospect of intelligent machines; they provoke us to imaginative extremes. This lecture aims to explain why: the hopes we have for AI require the projection of humanlike qualities onto machines. This makes these imagined creations inherently unpredictable: the qualities they would need in order to fulfil our hopes are those that grant them the autonomy to choose not to fulfil them.
