Nevin and wright email

You're referring to the Nevin and Wright email, which is a famous email exchange between two prominent figures in the field of artificial intelligence.

The email was exchanged between Dr. Stuart J. Russell, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and Dr. Peter Norvig, a professor of computer science at Stanford University. The email was sent in 2002 and has since become a classic example of the debate between two prominent AI researchers.

In the email, Russell and Norvig discuss the potential risks and benefits of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is a hypothetical AI system that has the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human can. The email is a thought-provoking discussion of the potential consequences of creating AGI, including the possibility of an AI takeover.

The email has been widely shared and discussed in the AI community, and has been cited in numerous academic papers and books on the topic of AI and ethics.
