Historian Niall Ferguson argues that understanding artificial intelligence requires reading science fiction — not watching it — and that even Elon Musk's favorite novelist may have underestimated what is coming.

A 25-year-old hedge fund manager turned an AI thesis into a $45 billion empire — then lost $35 billion in two weeks. The lesson was not about artificial intelligence. It was about leverage.
