Transcripts
actually the most likely outcome for
artificial intelligence is is that is
good that it will um improve our lives
most likely but there's some chance that
it will not and I think we just need to
be cognizant of that and understand it
it's a powerful technology it's
double-edged sword um and we need to put
a lot of effort into ensuring that uh we
have a good AI outcome and not a bad one
what what does a good one look like
well if I'd recommend people read the
Ian Banks Books Okay uh the culture
books um that's the
best uh representation of a positive AI
human future that I've seen okay um so
that's my recommendation I mean
it effectively
AI I think it it it will massively
enhance human ability it's like a just
a massive amplifier of human ability
um just like the computer was um
so really it's just a question of like
does does
it there's some risk that it doesn't
merely amplify human activity but it
starts basically just being in charge
yeah um and you know there's some risk
it
may you view Humanity negatively and
decide that
we're a BL on the earth like like I
think like a very dangerous thing would
be if if the if they sort of human
extinctionist philosophy somehow got
into AI that would be bad like that guy
that was on front page of the New York
Times saying you know the eight billion
people on Earth we don't want him coding
it we don't want him coding it yeah safe
to say what about and there's quite a
few people in this s the woods who have
that either explicit or implicit
extinctionist view yes where the view
humanity is a BL on the face of the
Earth yeah there's a lot of
anti-natalist in the in the world and
people who and anti-human yes like you
said people who don't have the pride in
Being Human right there's people who
people even say that that's a speciesism
you
know yeah yeah I mean I'm a human
supremacist I'll I'll be open about that
one yeah I mean I think uh we got to
fight for team human like we don't fight
for as humans who who will yeah I mean
if the Earth exists and humans do not
then it's like we're saving the planet
for who at that point yeah what do you
think about AI replacing jobs though cuz
that's a that's a big concern even if AI
sort of go Rogue and start doing
something directly horrible I think a
lot of people's concerns is just hey uh
what about everyone's
jobs will certainly be very disruptive
because jobs will be different um so no
I
think the the rate of CH the rate the
change CED by AI is going to be pretty
radical so there there will you know a
lot of jobs that are that currently
exist won't exist in the future I think
there will be new jobs um and I do think
like in in a benign AI scenario we we
will really have an age of abundance um
the I think really goods and services
unless they're artificially made scarce
like like it's specialized artwork or
you want that particular house and that
neighborhood um like it has been
artificial scarcity but anything that is
not made artificially scarce will be
plantiful as in a benign AI
