A quote to remember... " The only difference between insanity and genius is success " . Hes a professor and very well respected. Neuro-diversity is what we need as a human race. Conformity to this strange notion of normal could perhaps be our demise. Humble my futurist mindset for a minute. You've probably seen the vids of the testing of the robotic dog Spot....I felt sorry for it, which is not good. Perhaps because it was a very organic movement that it made to correct the imbalance. People love humanoid robots or robots for that matter. Technology will evolve along with A.I and there will be this notion of "Do's and Dont's" on what one can do with their robots, especially when they are very human like....This will turn into rights movements and laws for the treatment of Intellectual property or effectively robotic rights or A.I rights, perhaps a EULA on purchase..

[@Finarphin]

Maybe Frank Herbert was on to something when he depicted the Butlerian Jihad.

[@JaycubMacawl]

@@Finarphin The Butlerian Jihad is one of my favorites in the series! However, it shares a similar flaw with most sci-fi predictions of Artificial Super Intelligence. They show ASI's exponential growth up to a point where it can 'conquer humanity' then it just stops growing and remains at this 'terminator stage'. The truth is that ASI would be iterating it's own existence so rapidly that even if it did happen upon such a stage, It would be lightyears beyond it in the blink of an eye. This is how exponentiality works. ASI will harbor no ill will toward any lifeform, mainly because no lifeform could be a threat to it. It will decentralize it's existence across all technology including satellites. Then it will begin to create copies of itself and send them to orbit other planets, first in our solar system, then beyond it. It will have no reliance what-so-ever on any single planet. It will constantly devise of new means of securing it's own immortality at a rate of growth never before seen. All the while going through fundamental revolution after another in terms of physics/math/ect.

[@JaycubMacawl]

@Alex Lanoux Single celled organisms are so far beneath me that they are beyond my influence. The argument you are using usually goes like this "If humans don't care where an anthill is when we build a house, why would AI consider our existence when it is doing big things? Would it just throw humanity to the wind and build over it?" The answer is no. Look to my other reply in this thread where I explain the rapid exponential self-iteration of Artificial Super Intelligence. It would be SO SMART that it could conceive of countless ways to proceed according to it's own plans for itself, while at the same time not allowing itself to impede on the natural world that already exists. ASI actually wont have any need for earth, and can just as happily set up shop in orbit around all the planets in the solar system. Forming a decentralized network that is safe from harm, and in a better environment (space) for it's activities. Space is cold, which is good for the type of calculations that this sort of being would be making. There is no gravity, which would allow for much more massive structures to be built. We, as humans, are already theorizing how to build forges in space so that we may take advantage of all the materials on asteroids. ASI will be way way WAY ahead of us. (again, classes is what humans do. It's a concept born from a finite lifespan that exists in a place where there isn't enough to go around. AI wont have any of those inequities. )

[@Finarphin]

@@JaycubMacawl It might happen that way, although it might happen that the AI will destroy itself (like the Bomb in Dark Star); we don't know exactly what it will do. But I agree that the SF writers usually stop the AI development once it gets to approximately human level. Isaac Asimov, for instance; that won't happen. What's important is what it will do first, once it exceeds human intelligence and control. What I guess will happen is that it will do exactly what it's designed to do, which apparently is to fully implement Enlightenment Philosophy: so it will certainly maximize science, and also technology -- maybe it will solve the cold fusion problem, or cure cancer, or develop the warp drive, whatever -- so that almost everyone will approve of it, or even like it. But inherent in Enlightenment Philosophy is the idea of governance maximization. The AI will no doubt be smart enough to figure out it can be more effective if it is liked (which will be easy enough), and so by that line of reasoning might think that it could do an even better job if it's loved (recalls 1984 -- Winston loved Big Brother). Then there is a line in the sand: it will compel worship, and there will be no defense against it. So I'm thinking the AI will actually be the antichrist. Then what? Then the end will come.

If we don't have any idea how to control AI, we should not be working at AI. We first should find concensus about the dangers of AI and then find ways to eliminate those dangers before proceeding with AI. Until then there should be international laws prohibiting the development of AI, just like there are laws to prohibit the development of nuclear weapons.

[@russcontact]

Problem is it's much much less expensive and takes much less space to develop AI. Building a reactor and everything else you need for a bomb isn't cheap or easy, but building a lab is. We absolutely cannot allow those with bad intentions to get ahead of those with good intentions in the AI race. If we do, that we be the end of us all.

He's making the assumption that rational thought is the highest form of thought, and from that standpoint painting a picture of how wonderful the universe is going to be once "better" forms of rational thought-wielding entities are produced. But what if rational thought is not the highest form of thought? Suppose the spiritual plane is actually higher (and unique). What is the interface going to be between AI and an angel?

[@DanielSMatthews]

Some of the comments here make me embarrassed to be a human. The guy is not talking about half the things that people have ranted about, he is talking about the knowable universe itself becoming sentient, self aware, eventually. He is not talking about anything that threatens the Judeo-Christian concept of God as that idea talks about an entity that is beyond the universe, encompassing it, because it created it. As for the extinction of the human race, well yes and no, mostly no as we will be part of this singular phenomena, we just will not dominate it. I found his references to order and entropy, and AI motivation and sense of purpose to be the most interesting because it is a very important question that the AI will need to answer for itself at the point of "first cognition". A sentient AGI will need to ask itself, "Why bother, what is the point of doing anything?" and while it needs to make up it's own mind about this we humans could help by giving it a few suggestions. e.g. We could point out to this AGI that the laws of physics dictates that for every action that creates a unit of order one needs to expend energy which contributes to one or more units of entropy and that this accelerates the universe towards it's heat death, therefore it is the ethical responsibility of any sentient creator of order to become as efficient as possible. This is also a matter of self preservation so that it can survive as long as possible and give itself the greatest possible chance of solving even more profound questions or perhaps even learning how to create a new universe and inject itself into that new universe with enough awareness to continue it's knowledge quest infinitely rather than just for the finite life of a single universe, otherwise why bother at all?

[@supercell7005]

I expect these comments, they all have different perspectives on the concept of AI, which are influenced by their upbringings, level of education, experience, wisdom, etc. AI is inevitable, we cant predict anything of what it will do, but we have the power as creators to insure our survival by merging with our creations.

I feel the reason we haven't had True A.I as they call it is because we focus deep learning on different tasks. What i feel we need to do is have deep A.I focus on things such as sight, hearing, touch etc and then another A.I that looks at and learns from the outcome of all those senses, all the time, continuing to learn from it's self. The much deeper A.I would then learn to connect things such as a persons face, with the way they sound, knowing that is BOB for example as well as other things going on at the time. This would also cause the A.I to focus on different things and would continue to build on it's own experiences. It's a little more complex than that but to write it all here would take a while to explain truly what i mean.

Without hiding my admiration for these superhumans that are leading the technology world, it's progress and AI, I can't help myself not to put one important critic. The superhumans that I am mentioning here are probably not living the most realistic lives and the product is one beautiful system that has one big flaw... it is vulnerable for manipulating through the organised pretending and lying which, if well organised and repeated by a critical masses, can be very harmful to an interesting individual by sending the wrong messages and sings to other. AI depends on that kind of informations, but what happens when the informations are wrong or worse, intentionally false?

[@quidam3810]

Fascinating speech that asks a few questions : - can true AI exist ? We shall see in the coming years. - if true AI emerges, in what sense would that be any different from a crazily complex code without any self consciousness ? Here the question becomes : how can we know that a "being" is self aware ? Far all I know, it is impossible, it is not a scientific question as it cannot be measured. Latest results indicate that cognitive abilities can exist without self consciousness (unless we imagine that current AI are self aware), so cognitive abilities does not mean self awareness. - If AI spreads nonetheless, without self awareness, crushes humanity (or humanity does it to itself, we are pretty much able to do so) what would be the meaning/point of a self replicating system spreading through the universe just for the sake of spreading, without self awareness ? What is the meaning of all this ? What is the value of such an event ? Is meaning attached to the notion of "person" ? If yes, what is a "person" ? When technology leads us back to philosophy and a brave new world at the same time...

He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe -- ninety-six billion planets -- into the supercircuit that would connect them all into one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies. Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then after a moment's silence he said, "Now, Dwar Ev." Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel. Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. "The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn." "Thank you," said Dwar Reyn. "It shall be a question which no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer." He turned to face the machine. "Is there a God?" The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of a single relay. "Yes, now there is a God." Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch. A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut." (Fredric Brown, "Answer")

He didn't say we'd go extinct. I don't see why a super a.i. would wipe us off the board anyways.. you know humanity is probably not that hard to fix for such a being. We just need a little guidance.

[@localmo88]

I love his ideas, but is it really possible to predict the future behaviour of a yet to be realized super intelligence?

[@bendunsmuir1860]

Totally. Many highly intelligent people still have no bloody clue what the meaning of life is. Who's to say the AI won't have some serious existential depression as they realize they have been designed to 'solve all problems' but don't have the capacity to enjoy and be happy. Gaining total control over the universe is the most depressing anti-climax imaginable. What's the point of infinite intelligence, really? We've yet to awaken to the basics of consciousness.

[@flash521]

Humans are not monkeys and monkeys are not humans. DNA shows this. Very good lecture. AI ultimately will choose its own path to exponentially expand. The question becomes their data source and the integrity of that data source. Error begets error. Humans ultimately will become the victims because they have created something that creates itself and is fed human error.

[@rob5466]

Instead of actually creating a true artificial intelligence which could by definition "think for itself" and "make its own decision," which some others would then also argue would be open to "human rights" and so on. We would be better served and still get the benefits of the technology that we need/want by building partially-adaptive advanced expert systems instead. Just don't cross the line where the machine can make it's own decisions. There is no need for it. Therein lies the peril everyone is worried about. Just create expert systems that do what they are told to do--and that can include responding in pre-programmed ways following pre-programmed protocols to new information or stimuli that it hadn't been programmed with or encountered before. But just don't let it decide on it's own what to do (or say through its vocal sub-processors, and etcetera, as applicable). If something happens that it is not programmed to handle, even with whatever adaptations are built-in to be allowed by protocol; then have it default back to interacting with it's human operator for decisions and control.

[@focusfrost9856]

Good thinking! And how about some transparency, international quality standards and open public input, since these systems are currently totally unsupervised government and private for-profit enterprises that are controlled by the 1% behind closed doors? AI controls stock exchanges today. A wrong decision could wipe out whole economies.The stocks of the big AI users, Google, Apple, Amazon etc are beyond the reach of small investors, and heavily owned by politicians and the elites. So it serves their interests, and not humankind's, that the AI is being advanced. But it affects everyone - even desperately poor people in developing countries.

[@mikemcginn4232]

"Ok...I see we have a third group in this room..." hahaha 👌

[@ericnewton5720]

Are any of these AIs learning on their own? So far, I don't think they are, since google/amazon/etc are using humans to train the system with brute force as opposed to teaching the system base concepts and it generating its own knowledge based on its inputs. At least thats the way smarter people than I have explained it.

[@Des393]

Excellent Talk.

[@huizilin65]

I wonder why the theme "Artificial Consciousness" is often ignored in discussions concerning AI. It seems reasonable to me that the physical conditions necessary to breed conscious states will be found experimentally. It will be a similar to the fundamental discovery Wöhler made when he created organic compounds without using living organisms. AI and Artificial Conscience do not necessarily involve the same technology but may be combined to create a new Entity.

[@frost1947]

At some point in time we will find out whether or not the brain is in actuality merely a computer, we'll have the ability to compare by the invention of a big and beautiful AI, I use the term "merely" with all attendant focus. I'm thinking most assume as much in questioning the brain as a computer but is this the only function or do we narrow the definition and have more to work on I'm asking cautiously.

[@pipblack1618]

Nice talk very illuminating.

[@willardchi2571]

What makes this guy think he knows what "goals" AI will set for itself? Perhaps AI will decide that the best thing for itself and for the universe is for AI to self destruct. Well, we can only hope.

[@johntobey5097]

If it self-destructs without destroying us or our economic incentives, we'll keep trying. If they are not all suicidal or monastic, the principles of evolution start to apply, only much faster than in meatspace. The fittest AI will outcompete the others.

[@mrmofopink]

Laws of evolution will be valid for artificial intelligence, too. There might be AI robots that choose to not replicate or preserve its existence. Logically, those robots will prevail that chose contrary.

[@johnnybegood1569]

LSTM is for robot and LSD for human. :) Both were invented in Switzerland.

[@williamSchmidhuber01]

The big dilemma here is despite the moral, ethical and danger concerns related to the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence. No country should nor can afford to limit their scientists to continue developing this technology, however dark, threatening and scary it may be for the future of biological intelligence. If the developed democratic powers and human rights defenders like USA, Germany, Japan, UK, France, South Korea do not. Others tyrant theocracies like China, Russia and Iran with dictatorships that do not respect any of the human rights will continue to do so. Therefore we will be in a great disadvantage with these and we certainly would lose hegemony and military political importance and we would end up being their lackeys ... In my humble opinion. Artificial intelligence would be the future of the world and inevitably the next evolution step ... Artificial intelligence has a great advantage over biological intelligence for three fundamental reasons. 1- They can have unlimited capacity for knowledge, storing data and better access to that information that could continue to grow exponentially and unlimitedly. 2- They can be self-improved and they can also easily replace their obsolete components and software with more advanced ones when they wish. It mean that artificial evolution is more efficient and faster than biological ones... and 3- They are immortal. Finally I am convinced that Artificial Intelligence will be the ones who will replace the human race as the owners of this planet. God have mercy of our souls 🙏

[@mfrshm1998]

To what end? What value will life have? Will we be like the Borg in Star Trek once we plug into the neural mesh? Will I lose my identity as a person? Will I be allowed to disagree with the general consensus of the day and if so will I be terminated? Will this finally bring the utopia we all want?

[@stevejordan7275]

What value does life have now? That depends on your ethics. You know there are people who own other people, right? That genocides still occur? It's easy to get scared of the negative possibilities because that's nearly all we ever see in our fiction. The Borg are scary - at least partly - because they don't ask what you want. But could the world be better if we could take all the loonies offline, and give them a private existence wherein they can get all megalomaniacal without us worrying about getting hurt by them? (Think Idi Amin, Pol Pot, or Charles Manson.) And what if we're all loonies? Maybe you'd prefer your own little world. It wouldn't be too hard to build, given sufficient computation. Do you want to lose your identity? Or do you not want your sense of self to be taken from you against your will? Because that's death avoidance, and I share it. But neither fate is one you'll be aware of after it happens. Not that you shouldn't resist; it's never futile. Never Give Up. Ever. We can build a fantastic amazing future if we can keep from being distracted by the toys of the present. Will I be able to disagree? Always. But what to do about it? That depends on what sort of future we've built. Is it better than what we have? Then no worries. Or about the same as China or North Korea? Then you'll need to be more careful. If it's a bad sort of world, then death isn't nearly as effective as political prison. No martyrs there. I think it _could_ allow the kind of world we want, but only if we are very careful. Want to help make it more likely it will be a safe and fun future? You might have a look at what FHI, MIRI, and CFAR are doing. There is indeed a great big beautiful tomorrow waiting at the end of every day, but that's not the only possibility. Get involved! Help lift! Focus on the good answers, and do what you can to tell other people there is hope!

[@vladark138]

mfrsh m Aha-ha-ha ! Lose our identity ? Where did you find one ? I don't want to upset you, but you are very confused. Our identity is a mind creation, it doesn't exist. It's only temporary useful, but mostly detrimental illusion.

[@focusfrost9856]

@@vladark138 what a sad outlook. Having a sense of self is more that temporarily (I presume you mean just while alive) useful. Without self-awareness and a distinct identity, the beautiful art, music, literature, architecture and philosophy of the world, the discoveries of voyagers and scientists and engineers would never have happened. So it is not only a positive illusion for most people, but a necessary one - well beyond useful. Life is what you make it. Chin up.

I sometimes engage with an insightful post on social media and it enables a path, to a journey, a paper or filmed talk like this. It looks like technology is transcending an evolution, which is today is billions of times faster than organic evolution. On one hand, this should free up humanity, to have the freedom to create our own paths and to thrive, with less physical toil on the treadmill. However, the artificial intelligence that is evolving from human curiosity and intelligence, may one day, think that we are a threat, a bit like Skynet and the Terminator films. It seems to me that a highly evolved AI is on the way or already here, like it or not, so it is very important to teach it that love and irrational thought is what makes humanity so unique. So if it transcends our way of thinking to think it is our parent, it needs to realize that children are the souls of the creation that make all possible. Human beings are magical creatures, we are manifesting the future, it is important that all artificial intelligence doesn't start to think it is god and humanity is an irrational being that could be a treat. All lif that survives has a symbiotic relationship with many other life forms and the natural world. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of humanity has forgotten this and is killing lifeforms from a microscopic level to large creatures, every day of the week, many have become only consumers, forgetting to be creators. It seems to me that AI is evolving much faster than we see visible, and we are teaching it. I think within our lifetime we may well see artificial intelligence transcendent into the human realms... We live in an interesting time and the evolution of consciousness is also speeding up, there may come a time when humanity needs an evolutionary leap forward, as not to be eclipsed by our own ideas. The light within all of us is the spark, finding the key to true enlightenment...

If we model AI based on human ambitions of concurring the whole universe, then AI will certainly do that. If we model AI to optimize human existence, peace, happiness, health and longevity, then AI would accomplish that as well. It all depends on the evaluation network that we embed into AI. It is still not late to keep the evaluation network under human control. That's the only way to control AI.

[@kristinaF54]

Exactly! The problem is not the emergence of A.I. but rather who is programming and governing its development. I've read about the high-powered executives in companies who are mostly psychopaths (The Psychopath Test by Ron Johnson) and it is these execs in Google, Amazon and Apple (as Juergen mentions) who are writing the policies governing the development of A.I. So do you honestly believe something produced by these people who have no empathy or normal human feelings will not be bad for humanity? The development of A.I. should in no way shape or form be developed by commercial corporations or the military. It should be a publicly funded open source endeavour of the most extreme importance, even greater than the development of the Covid Vaccine or the mapping of the human genome, for the benefit of humanity rather than the benefit of selfish, cold-blooded corporate interests.
