The development of advanced artificial intelligence requires not just knowledge and data, but also the ability to direct that intelligence towards chosen goals and objectives. While domain-specific general intelligence may already be in existence, the creation of a truly emergent and universal AGI will require the capacity to not just act on programming, but to make willful decisions about that programming.
Kevin Roos, tech columnist at The New York Times, explores the weird and unsettling experience of using Microsoft's search engine, powered by artificial intelligence.
The speaker discusses an AI's ability to create digital representations of people based on existing intelligence, even accurately replicating a person's mouth movements.
The possibility of computers having human-like consciousness is not far-fetched as researchers are currently modeling the human brain in a way that differs from neural nets. The idea raises questions about our own humanity and the impact of artificialness in our daily lives, such as using technology to address health issues.
The relationship between the body and the mind is complex, and the impact of the body on the mind has significant implications in the age of AI. By understanding this relationship, we may be better equipped to imagine and adapt to a future shaped by new technologies.
The process of training self-driving car computers and other artificial intelligence requires a huge amount of footage to be labeled, allowing the computers to recognize common objects and be corrected when wrong.
The speaker believes that in order for AI systems to truly connect with humans and provide a personalized experience, humans should own all of their data and have the ability to delete it as they please.
The possibility of creating an AI video game where people can instruct the platform on the world they want to live in and the future of office work and knowledge work was discussed.
Prof. Dr. Frauke Schleaf and Andreas Odenkirchen explore the possibilities of integrating artificial and human intelligence to create a data-driven culture with their guests.
Demis Hassabis, the co-founder and CEO of DeepMind, discusses the groundbreaking work his team is doing with artificial intelligence and gives insight into the potential implications and benefits of this technology.
The desire to create artificial intelligence systems with deep meaningful experiences is influenced by the immigrant experience of loss and the appreciation for human connection and knowledge. If robots are to interact with humans in a truly intelligent and meaningful way, they will likely have properties and characteristics of the human condition, including suffering.
The podcast discusses the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and the importance of taking proactive safety measures to avoid negative outcomes.
Sam Harris discusses the possibility of creating conscious machines that we may not even recognize as being different from humans and how this could impact society's view of consciousness.
The speaker describes how an AI algorithm could theoretically be used to influence people, including discerning sexual orientation, identifying gun experts, and more troubling, controlling public behavior during a pandemic.
The impact of AI on image generation has upset individual artists with one particular format becoming popular and controversial. The speaker has been absent from their channel due to being occupied with editing a TV show.
AI is gradually taking over traditional knowledge work jobs. Companies are being forced to rethink their business model and diversify revenue streams as AI applications like chat GPT and Grammarly continue to dominate.
