Kai Fu Lee on the Future of Artificial Intelligence

[@AmusicsiteCoUk]

IQ2 need an AI to make the audio levels the same between people on video. It's really bad when one is twice a loud as the other and always makes it hard to listen to this great content.

[@wongchanthong]

Lee kai fu is highly intelligent and eloquent. He comes across as kind and humble as well.

[@tgwashdc]

Kai has fresh insights and is not bound by ideology. There are options to limit addictive and harmful content if we exercise self-control. The individualization of content by AI can be governed by user choice like in KZbin premium. The BigTech should not babysit users. The issue is for the consumers who want to consume free but are manipulated by commercials. What Kai proposes as governing metrics is very useful.

This isn’t really an interview about AI. The interviewer basically just asked about regulation for an hour.

I'd like to offer a partial answer for why the surplus can't feed and procure for the poorest. Today's production relies on difficult or dangerous jobs that can't yet be automated at scale. Those jobs are so harsh, that if people really could live without toiling, they would stop them. And the system would collapse. Hopefully, we will solve that eventually.

[@judyking1702]

Making a powerful incentive to do good and ethical, is the best approach.

If and when AI is put to the job of creating human wellbeing it will be the end of capitalism.

[@erandeser5830]

And it will be replaced by .....?.

[@maddoo23]

@@erandeser5830 Capitalism = invention/product is owned by people who funded it(with capital i.e capitalists). We could try making it so that the people who do the invention/create the product have the rights to the invention/product. It will also be easier since it will be cheaper to fund everything. For example, we might value the inventors of touch screen and creators of iphone(or some relevant innovation in the future) more than Steve Jobs.

[@erandeser5830]

@@maddoo23 not that easy: who invented fast food, supermarkets, electric cars (the first one was late 19th century), the first micro chip, nano chip, the Eiffel tower ?

[@maddoo23]

@@erandeser5830 I don't get your point. They should get credit and more share if the product makes money. The current system is not easy either and it is really hard to make accurate predictions about how a particular tech or tech enabler will effect the world. We can however, always try to align our incentives to our goals and values. It is unfair to demand a complete blue print to an entire new system, we can just adjust our incentives. If we want more innovations, we should reward it better. Dennis Ritchie should have died richer than Warren Buffet. In this case, if surplus is easier/more (with help of AI), we should try to make it so that the surplus is diverted more towards fundamental research and education (among other things, things that might come up in the process and be clear to us with more effort or results) rather than land prices and rent.

[@erandeser5830]

@@maddoo23 why ? Ritchie was part of a team working for Bell (if I remember well) and developed UNIX. They were not individual inventors, nor did they create a company to commercialize their invention. If a company pays a researcher and he does not invent (most) he still gets paid. If he does invent the invention belongs to the company. Sounds fair to me. Statistically most inventions are attributed to teams working for companies. What about songs ? There is the text writer , the music composer and the singer. The latter makes the money, as you well know. Why? Because he assembles it and brings it to the market. In my mind Ritchie was the writer, Woz the composer and Jobs the singer.

Deep learning then equals human emotional manipulation for capital gain. So we surrender meaning, purpose and the beauty of life for efficiency and profit. I don't understand why this is so wonderful for the human species.... I prefer wrong answers, chance, change, possibilities, surprises and the natural creative process over effeiciency, rightness and gradient descent. Give me colourful ascent and ups and downs any day

THE FUTURE HUMAN WILL ABLE TO STAY HEALTHY THROUGH FREE WILL, "NO NEED FOR DRUGS"

[@TheNaturalLawInstitute]

THREE IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) THE IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL SYSTEMS: The USA's common law an optimistic, outcome-decided, empirical legal system that's economically advantageous. Europeans use a pessimistic, prediction-decided, idealistic legal system that's economically disadvantageous - the continental law is one of the worst consequences of the French revolution. In other words, the USA's legal system waits until it has the evidence that results from conflict or abuse, and the European seeks to prevent that conflict or abuse at the cost of discovery, innovation, and adaptation. The USA uses the fastest adaptive legal system in the world for science, technology, and medicine. The Europeans use the slowest. They achieved what they did after the destruction of the German intellectual system purely by wealth and prior advantage. Almost everything was then produced by the distribution of the German intellectual system to Russia and America. Instead of continuing market competition, Europe sought to divert to caretaking rather than competitive advantage, and so while self-congratulatory has been continuing its demographic and cultural suicide for the past seventy years. 2) RETRAINING IS A FALSE PROMISE: Retraining can only occur within the limits of the learning rate of the individual. This means the best we can hope for is to shuffle people from one tech displacement to another. The alternative solution is ancient and well understood - is that the use of wealth to pay people to produce commons - making the commons a Disney world like old Europe - rather than pay them for production of consumables. This is because the vast majority of commons we desire do not require much other than the same technologies we used to create the gardens, buildings, urban environments, that we did in our history. IN other words, we can pay people to produce beauty. This is the only viable economic direction. It means a vast alteration of the operations of the financial sector so that the returns on investment are restored to an equidistribution between state borrowing and private capital allocation. (Yes this is what I do for a living. ;) ) 2) AI VS UTOPIA: The question of why can't we succeed at producing the utopia, is answerable. It's because we deny the cause of inequality, and the inequality of value, is that we may be abstractly valuable and equal as consumers, but that we are not abstractly valuable and equal as children, students, neighbors, soldiers, employees, citizens, sovereigns. And until we face the fact that the eugenicists were right - that the problem is reproduction rates of different classes, then we will eventually destroy the human race. This TABOO has to end.
