Hi Dr Müller! Long time viewer, and we've also met, in Stockholm in March of 2014, which was an awesome experience!
I was wondering whether you could speculate on what the future of YouTube is? What do you think YouTube is going to be like 10 years down the line?
Also, do you have any favourite documentaries/science series (besides your own)? My favourite so far are the original Cosmos and Connections with James Burke.
Thanks for doing this AMA Derek, I've done my best to promote your content on Reddit as promised!

Derek, this is my special field of interest so I'd like to comment on this. Your position is an understandable one if you only have heard about the risk from AI from mainstream media outlets and some tweets from people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk, but have you read the now standard arguments for why superintelligence is possible and extremely dangerous? You should take a look at Nick Boström's Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, an excellent and very in depth guide to the subject of smarter-than-human agents.

Prof. Cox, if you could meet three alive or historical people, who would they be? What would you ask them?

Quite recently, prominent figures such as Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and many more have raised concerns about what's known as artificial superintelligence (or ASI for short) triggered by professor Nick Boström's 2014 book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies.
My questions are:
Thanks for your time :)
Here are some excellent resources for understanding more about this:
A very popular two part series (1, 2) going in depth on superintelligence in a very pedagogical way.
