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.
In this podcast episode, Eliezer Yudkowsky talks about his views on artificial intelligence and the importance of rationality. He discusses his concerns about the potential dangers of AI and the need for humans to understand and prepare for these risks.
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 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.
Utilizing artificial intelligence to automate administrative work can increase productivity, engagement, and allow employees to focus on work with a greater impact on the company and customers in the market.
The timeline for the singularity is debated with some believing it will occur within the next 20 years while others worry that the lack of cultural background and nuanced understanding of the AI could lead to flawed outcomes. Despite concerns, AI has the potential to greatly benefit society in fields such as drug discovery, material science, climate change, and education.
Media sources are critiquing Artificial Intelligence (AI) more in a way that is skeptical and comparable to the criticisms one would give a newly launched cellular phone. However, this type of skepticism may miss the key component for AI to work effectively, the scientific sense of skepticism required to interpret critical information from the system.
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.
