Building AI Machines That Don’t Have Objectives
Experts in the AI field have to build machines that are aware that they do not know the objective to create better behavior such as asking questions and permission, deferring and being able to allow themselves to be switched off. Committees meet regularly to analyse data and tweak objectives to improve this technology.

Summary
The challenge of optimizing for multiple objectives is a complex problem that requires a robust and scalable solution that can optimize outcomes across different challenges. Committees and meetings are held to tweak objectives based on the latest data from cars to get them to behave better, but finding a solution to problems like curing cancer or fixing carbon dioxide levels is more complicated.

Summary
In this podcast, the hosts discuss the concept of "act accordingly" in the context of artificial intelligence. They explain how machines can't know our preferences and must ask for permission before taking certain actions to further human objectives.
