artificial
intelligence the technology that has
caused wonder it is close to science
fiction it is staggering helped us
navigate prepare to exit on the left
solve problems and now seems to be
evolving at an alarming rate I believe
the humanoid robots have the potential
to lead with a greater level of
efficiency than human
leaders
it is um changing the world and it is
important that people understand both
the good uses and the scary uses of it
there's the sort of nuclear arms race
and then we sort of have an AI arms race
I warned you guys in 1984 you didn't
listen it could do great
damage it could have some of the
negative consequences we've seen from
other big Technologies but it also has a
lot of
potential
I think that it needs to be taken
extremely
seriously we've created something that
is hard in some situations to
distinguish from Human level
intelligence AIS are becoming
ubiquitous we've reached a precipice
that requires a new
understanding it's coming at us very
very quickly the capabilities of AI
without question have jumped in the past
18 months remarkably and in a way that
has surprised even the experts but for
the rest of us it opened a Pandora's box
full of questions what is artificial
intelligence artificial intelligence has
a very broad definition it can mean a
lot of things to a lot of different
people at its core AI uses mathematic
iCal data and logic to mimic human
cognitive function such as
learning we can think of artificial
intelligence as an artificial ability to
problem
solve AI is a form of automation it's
replacing people doing things that
people previously did a computer
develops its intelligence through
machine learning a great deal of data is
fed into the computer and it can learn
to formulate responses with some human
instruction along the way when machine
learning model is training that means
it's ingesting a lot of data and it's
trying to make predictions about that
data pattern recognition machine
learning that's what's going on
inside in machine learning the key
Insight is that we can create new kinds
of computer programs that can teach
themselves how to learn instead of us
teaching them how to do something
they're tasked with just predicting ing
the next word and constantly being
instructed to make a guess after guess
after guess even though we may train AI
with the goal of predicting the next
text accurately that only gives us
indirect control over how that AI will
behave in the future and that creates
the opportunity for
risks guessing increases the margin of
error they make up facts that don't
actually exist they've been fed both
fact and fiction it could be because
they're predominantly trained to average
out the algorithms can actually
hallucinate things that are very
specific seemingly credible totally
false he's already told me that he loves
me we have exchanged what eight messages
and this is what he said this voice
message is my way of sending you a hug
you make my heart melt baby love
you machine learning is Raising fears
that AI could soon surpass human
knowledge
altogether are you you
human the notion of machines with human
intelligence dates back to Samuel
Butler's 1872 novel
aroan The First movie based on AI was
Metropolis produced nearly a 100 years
ago
I can remember hearing stories of
machines getting human abilities and
thinking that that was
fascinating but is an AI with human
intelligence still science
fiction fears of AI have been around for
a long time let's go back to um
Frankenstein or of course Hollywood
movies we've had plenty of negative
images Are We Now quickly going going to
get some sort of robot structure that
can threaten the world it's not a crazy
question to ask personally I think it's
rather far-fetched
there is a sense in which the AI systems
are being a lot more efficient than
Evolution it takes 9 months to give rise
to a drooling baby it takes less than a
second to make the AI smarter and
smarter and
smarter there are many different forms
of
life my definition of life would be
something that has goal goals and a
point of view and pursues those goals in
some
way we're far beyond having developed
that for AI they've got a very unusual
mind and so it doesn't make sense to
think of them quite like humans but it
doesn't make sense to think of them as
dumb computer programs that we tell them
exactly what to do
either regardless it's become clear that
we've entered new territory with
artificial intelligence in late 2022
open aai released an app known as chat
GPT it created a fire storm of fear and
wonder with the AI community and
consumers I think through general public
The Tipping Point was chat
GPT when people were interacting with
chat GPT they could see that hm this can
talk and hold the conversation and is
very knowledgeable this super
conversational search if you will is so
powerful and it was given openly to the
whole public that with hundreds of
millions of people doing this that was
one of the most powerful demos ever to
be on the internet can artificial
intelligence lead to Extinction it's a
bit of a shock bit of an eye opener I
think chat GPT is definitely a Tipping
Point and I think that it surprised not
just regular people who weren't deeply
in the technology but even people who
were exposed to the
technology the underlying technology
behind chat GPT is this large language
model that's just predicting the next
token large language models or llms are
a type of artificial intelligence that
combine a huge amount of data and deep
learning to communicate and generate new
Concepts deep learning is where you have
very large neural networks that
automatically learn by themselves from a
lot of
data that's what's driving a lot of the
current Technologies like chat GPT or
these image generation
ones these large language models are
trained to predict the next word given
context they take all the sentences that
you see out on the web now given a
sentence of let's say five words this
results in five different prediction
tasks fundamentally it's actually not
that surprising that accurate prediction
of a next word results in models that
seem intelligent I think what surprised
people was that this actually happened
chat GPT was a giant leap forward
capable of creating original
material you can give it a
straightforward prompt and it can write
you a
[Music]
play it can generate material in a way
that it couldn't do before
it is this generative AI that sent shock
waves through the tech sector
experiencing chat GPT was a
transformative
moment AI researchers have conquered one
of the big outstanding problems in AI
research which is to be able to
replicate human reasoning
abilities and in Hollywood human
creators are striking for fear that AI
will replace
them gbt isic typee of system doesn't
really write great stories you just
asked AI right now to write a stand up
comedy monologue and this is what we
look and sound like if we're not careful
this is why we're striking I have to ask
does anyone else hate small talk as much
as I do it's like hey how are you good
how are you why even bother and don't
even get me started on airline
food it's really what it
says the data may seem humanlike but it
is
repurposed every part of human knowledge
that has a digital form has been
obtained by the trainers of this
algorithm supervised presumably almost
entirely by humans so that combination
has turned out to be remarkably
potent these things are on the internet
already the language is already out
there it mined it it found it and then
you uh asked queries until those
examples are presented to you it's
simply is behaving according to
algorithms that we give it but of course
it doesn't actually have any feelings or
thinking there's nobody there it's not
alive however to some it appears chat
GPT has developed reasoning abilities
that were not programmed into the app in
the last few years as I've interacted
with technology like chat GPT I've been
profoundly disturbed by what I've seen
it can solve very complex problems
involving reasoning we've created
something that is hard in some
situations to distinguish from Human
level
intelligence I warned you guys in 1984
you didn't listen James Cameron tried to
warn us of a futuristic Armageddon where
Terminators ruled over humans I think
the weaponization of AI is the biggest
danger I think that we will get into the
equivalent of a nuclear arms race with
AI and if we don't build it the other
guys are for sure going to build
it I believe that products like chat GPT
are one of the early steps on the path
to creating an artificial form of life
that has cognition has awareness of the
world has
goals I'd say that's the most disturbing
feature of artificial intelligence and
is the direction that the technology is
[Music]
going in 2023 the center for AI safety
released a statement signed by some of
the biggest and brightest mins in
computer science and
Beyond it set off a chain reaction of
opinion from experts around the
globe right now a lot of companies are
building increasingly powerful AI
systems and prioritizing ais's
intelligence over their safety and so
they're racing
ahead the key problem is that today AI
is completely unregulated it's less
regulated than a
sandwich I think reminding ourselves
that we shouldn't weaponize technology
and and that we can destroy ourselves
with new inventions that's actually
timely and
appropriate there are a couple of things
I'm worried about potential undermining
of democracy trust through these systems
being able to spread misinformation at
scale and um enable folks with malicious
intent to more easily do what they want
to
do one question is how our own lives
will have meaning as uh AI capabilities
develop and AIS begin to gradually
replace Us in the workforce AI
replacement in the workforce can take a
far more Insidious role by weakening our
resolve and eliminating our
self-worth this is called
enfeeblement it will be possible to
design AIS that can fully replace Place
human workers in the workforce so that a
company could decide instead of hiring a
human to execute a task they could
simply hire an AI and talk to the AI
directly to tell it what they want the
AI to do across time you give it more
and more tasks as that you start
automating entire jobs when that happens
then you start to become dependent on
the AI systems and people forget how to
do the things in the first
place when you go to a new city when you
used to have to figure out your way
around without supportive technology you
actually could kind of learn your way
around a city you know what was North
and South and so forth today people just
follow the instructions of the uh voice
on their phone and they sometimes hav't
a clue where they are relative to where
they started out eventually even CEOs
might be replaced if AI CEOs are much
more capable they can work non-stop they
can process aot lot more information
they have a wider variety of skills and
the companies that have those in charge
may do substantially better than the
ones that have humans in charge so then
they get outcompeted we don't have the
same biases or emotions that can
sometimes Cloud decision making and can
process large amounts of data quickly in
order to make the best
decisions history has taught us how
detrimental it can be for Humanity to
lose livelihood and purpose the Great
depression world wars and even the most
recent pandemic are examples we do want
to think about which human capabilities
we
treasure we saw a lot of loss of
people's ability to communicate with one
another face to face during the pandemic
when their world moved online we saw
young people's mental health crashing in
particular with uh very limited
interactions and opportunities to get
out and explore and
expand there may be less and less room
for human beings to derive meaning in
their life through work and through
other kinds of long-term
achievements if AIS are smart enough to
replace Us in the global Workforce they
can manipulate us to behave in whatever
way is beneficial to the society they
could
create current AI systems can engage in
extremely complicated diverse
Behavior they can compete in social
games that requires the ability to mind
read imagine people who want to polarize
a particular
country we see this a lot in our country
right now and so they want to crank out
a lot of social media posts that look
like news or that look like fact if you
add AIS and Bots they can amplify it by
millions hundreds of millions this could
become relevant potentially in the next
election and that might might end up
creating some unfortunate Dynamics where
some candidate who wouldn't normally get
popular became very popular because they
knew how to wield this type of
Technology very well you can see that
that technology could become extremely
damaging and dangerous in many political
contexts then you plunge people into
civil disorder and you lose any sense of
personal security in in in a country or
a place and that just ruins
everything this is going on
and this is very disturbing I think we
all need to take a step back you know uh
and remember that those people that were
hearing terrible things about online
these are human beings we have a lot
more in common than what these social
media posts are trying to do to
[Music]
us if AIS are capable of social
manipulation want to stop them from the
most catastrophic scenario waging
War I think that there is a risk of
weaponized AI systems they pave the way
for these becoming substantially more
catastrophic if you lose control of a
chatbot okay it doesn't cause that much
harm if you lose control over all of
your weaponized AIS then you're in a lot
more
danger two years ago in Libya military
forces deployed autonomous drones that
made their own decisions without a human
p
about which enemy combatants to
Target this is extremely dangerous as AI
systems can malfunction and human
oversight is essential to controlling
them perhaps the most frightening
example would be including AI in the
nuclear chain of
command currently there are no laws
preventing this in the United States or
other
countries it is important to maintain
perspective on ai's current capabilities
when faced with nightmare
scenarios we should be cognizant of the
fact that these models were trained on
human generated data there are scenarios
where an AI agent suddenly becomes super
intelligent um improves itself at an
exponential rate and then we lose
control and somehow this leads to human
extinction um and that scenario seems
incredibly implausible to
me
on the flip side of All These Warnings
many computer scientists and economists
believe there are great benefits to
AI artificial intelligence will lead to
higher rates of economic growth because
it'll lead to higher labor productivity
yeah and that's a good thing but we need
to make sure that uh this economic
growth is distributed and not just
captured by AI companies
there will be immense beneficial impacts
of these Technologies in
education tailor shooters that can
explain
Concepts I think that's probably one
application area that I I'm quite
excited
about I'm super excited about the
opportunities of AI to improve health
there are so many ways think of it not
in terms of large language models but
large Health models large Behavior
models that are all done very carefully
and respectfully honoring people's
feelings really helping you take better
control over your health so this is the
kitchen which again looks like a normal
kitchen AI technology is being used to
assist the elderly managing tracking and
even monitoring Health it will make a
measurement of your heart
rate facial recognition algorithms could
detect the first signs of sadness or
depression for health care for Medical
Imaging and for personalized Healthcare
we can fine-tune the model to update the
model um according to different
people researchers like s Han are
working to revolutionize AI Computing so
that it can be accessible to everyone in
the palm of their own hand to bridge the
gap between the supply and the demand of
computing so that everyone can uh use AI
at a lower cost higher efficiency and
better accuracy
I believe uh efficient air Computing can
really revolutionize a lot of different
walks of life lots of mobile devices can
have air Computing capability it'll be a
lot more accessible for us to seamlessly
communicate with the cloud to make AI
more affordable and more
accessible ultimately the experts all
agree the future of AI is in our hands
it's limited by what we develop it's not
going to become anything people need to
fear it's only doing what we are
equipping it to be able to be capable of
doing so the key is oversight
collaboration control I think it's very
important that we create powerful
regulations that can monitor and
restrain the rise of AI
capabilities there's a huge amount of
control we can do and we should do to
make sure the powerful AI is doing what
we are hoping it to do and benefiting uh
the human uh Society we're focused
together on establishing guard rails
that maximize Innovation to use AI for
good while minimizing the risks that it
represents to ensure that AI
capabilities are used safely that they
strengthen human rights and Democratic
Values rather than repress them and that
they Advance Equity not biased the
voluntary commitments that these tech
companies made to the White House seems
like a very positive development
included in that commitment is to have
external Auditors check the models for
their bioweapon capabilities their
hacking capabilities you have some of
these leaders in the industry talking
about how they're concerned whether
machine will be able to begin to think
for
itself not need to be programmed I mean
it's just I I know it sounds like
science fiction
but it is close to science fiction some
of the things has enormous potential
being proactive now is the key to
maintaining control while benefiting
from the technology how do we transform
technology in a way that makes human
lives better not that reduces us to
household pets and it's a fundamental
different philosophical aim and if you
don't think about it up front when
you're building the technology you build
different
things artificial intelligence is here
so the best path forward is to embrace
it and learn how to
coexist I will be working alongside
humans to provide assistance and support
when we say we're coexisting with AIS to
me that's the same statement as we're
coexisting with the internet coexisting
with computers from that perspective I
think we will be coexisting with
[Music]
AI even as we build machines in our
image that take on some of our abilities
and maybe they can compute faster than
us on certain things or answer questions
from a language search faster than us
they are still made by us they are in
our image and we are still in control of
them I don't believe in limitations only
opportunities together we can create a
better future for
everyone
