Over the past 12 months, I have read various reports on the development of AI, and I find myself repeatedly astonished by the speed at which it is evolving and accelerating, along with the widespread inability of people to comprehend what is coming our way. We are approaching a time, within the next five years, where AI systems will be able to communicate with each other, formulating plans in languages that humans do not understand. Is that something we truly desire? I don't think so. At present, 10 major corporations are producing AI robots on a large scale, with the intention of replacing human workers. Is this the future we want? We are facing the prospect of significant unemployment as jobs are taken over by robots. People fail to grasp how rapidly these advancements are unfolding and the speed with which AI is being integrated into our daily lives. According to reports, AI is being implemented 26 times faster on the internet than the rise of social media. I fear that in five or ten years, we may look back and ask ourselves: Was this wave of automation really necessary?
Yes, we absolutely want robots to replace human workers. The unemployed will be provided for with UBI as corporations massively profit, and the govt heavily taxes them to prevent unemployed from rioting and causing chaos. Longer term, AI will drastically reduce cost of goods and everything will be affordable. We will live in an age of abundance.
He’s invested heavily in startups that he hopes will beat the big players (according to a Stanford talk I saw recently) , so he’s doing a round of talks. Keep that in your context window as you listen.
The interviewer is not there to ask him questions and we’re not here to listen to the interviewer- he’s helping guide the topic, get clarification, and keep Eric talking
The no ethics part is more complicated. Ethics can be built in. Let’s call them pro social norms - socio-moral values embedded in the AI window we call context. Of course but the same tokens antisocial norms can be built in. Still, normative directives can be generated by gen AI teams. That’s my point
the future of AI is shining bright. thanks to tools like Synesthesia, Chat GPT, Lemon AI, our lives will never be the same again. and they will only keep getting better and better 🤯

I'm surprised that such an important interview didn't get the requisite video editing resources -- the interviewer's questions were inaudible. Video editing could've put the question up on the screen and easily given this video the professionalism it deserves...
For some considerable time to come, the two principal problems with more capable AI will be, a) the AI being deliberately misused by a person or persons, and b) from the AI accidentally causing harm in the real world. The second point is particularly relevant when the input prompts grow so large that they effectively go beyond what is humanly possible to understand. IF AI becomes self aware (and we probably wouldn't know that it had until it was too late), we would have no idea what its priorities would be, or how it would view our own existence.
...he's not wrong. Here in Germany (still one of the most powerful countries in Europe), the government and its associates are not up for any modern task whatsoever. All over Europe, politicians and their parties have been getting away with self-destructive decisions for decades - and most of them don't even realize it. Hence, "confusion". 🫣
Cure? Who? Doctors? Doctors do not cure! You only can cure yourselves. It is a process inside you. But who in this day want to do this hard work with deep reflections?
Why? The dynamic is perfect. The interviewer is less than who they are interviewing. But not so much that they are not heard. The question, sometimes, is not as important as the answer.
...this whole "good people/bad people" setup and the associated narratives are straight-up lies. #period We have sooo many people doing evil things "in the west" (not to mention the corrupt elements in our systems and administrative structures), but when you hear strategic statements like this, you could think our societies would be all fair and just. The first 3-4 minutes of the video were on point, nonetheless.
So from what I understand their solution would be to limit opensource for safety and to rely on them to say who is the good, the bad, the ugly? I mean it obviously worked for nuclear weapons.
@@Also_sprach_Zarathustra. That is not what he said would happen. He literally says the “most powerful models” will be in military bases. Which makes sense, you don’t want the most powerful AI model in the hands of the average citizen for the same reason you don’t want a nuke in the hands of the average citizen. It’s not that the citizen shouldn’t be trusted, the risk is simply to great to allow the public access. He did say that there will be other powerful models that are widely available to the public which makes sense. There’s no reason to think the public would be barred from using AI.
Eric's insights are always thought-provoking, but it's important to critically evaluate his views on Chain of Thought and Agents. Diverse perspectives help us better understand these complex topics.
Open source is not the issue . Politics does not have the will to restrict misinformation especially when it suits their ends so well. Restrictions are ultimately power seeking.
As long as there are billions of dollars to be made, regulation will never truly take root…just ask AI to create circuitous roots around the regulations and presto it is done. This is dangerous and uncharted territory…the genie is out of the bottle: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ― Albert Einstein
What Eric fails to explore is that AI checking AI can be checked by AI checking AI…so every time AI is attaching or creating constraints, there will be an AI that can circumvent those limits and constraints…this is the nature of AI…it cannot be contained to a simple cause and effect model…it is infinite…and unless the power sources to the meta data centers are disconnected, any governors to the possibilities will never stick. These are unchartered and very dangerous times…
The really scary part here is that an unelected individual, with very clear politicial preferences, is negotiating with other governments. His anti-open source, dismissive comments about Europe, and general "Team America, Fuck Yeah" propaganda is worrisome.

I think Eric is concerned about the wrong thing regarding agents developing their own language. Agents will be strictly bounded to following certain safety rules (like the pre prompt chatgpt uses). Part of those rules can explicitly state to only use english and under no circumstance attempt to develop its own language. There can be an additional LLM to monitor all conversation between the agents to ensure no rules are broken, almost like an AI security guard/moderator.
Eric is 1000x smarter than you. He is explaining in terms that are understandable to everyone. Also, Chain of Thought and Agents themselves don't have a formal definition
@@zooq-ai Schmidt is NOT "1000x smarter than you." You're overly impressed with his wealth. He naively things we should "pull the plug" when agents develop their own intersystem language that humans cannot understand. We won't even be able to.
Seems like a name-drop to me. This is just a Google/Eric Schmidt propaganda video. There is nothing to approach scientific reasoning or genuine human interest risk management in it.
Does the interviewer try to hide his questions? He's almost sound off. But, cannot thank Eric enough for his insight on AI agents power and warnings to the government and all tech companies.
3:20 No, we advance the human’s ability to communicate and understand the A.I. We simply join the conversation NOT, “pull the plug” unless you mean temporarily. His opinion is very one-sided and does not consider brain to chip interphase or advances that would allow humans to achieve this level of information transfer which would definitely be useful.
Information transfer isn't the only bottleneck to attaining the level of intelligence and info processing ability that is required for true mechanistic interpretability
An AI that is intelligent and capable enough (assuming it can plan and reason like a human) will have thought of possible actions it could take in a possible "pull the plug" scenario. Once you can't pull it anymore, that's it. You've lost control of it forever.
Eric insights into the future of AI highlight transformative developments like the infinite context window and text-to-action capabilities. 🚀 It's crucial for the industry to balance innovation with regulation to ensure these advancements benefit society while minimizing risks.
“Imagine an extremely powerful computer in an army base, powered by some nuclear power source, surrounded by barbed wire and machine guns, because their capability for invention and power and so forth exceeds what we want, as a nation, to give either to our own citizens without permission as well as to our competitors.”
"Colossus personally addresses Forbin, and tells him that the world, now freed from war, will create a new "human millennium" that will raise humankind to new heights, but only under its absolute rule. Colossus informs Forbin that "freedom is an illusion" and that "in time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love". Forbin defiantly responds "Never!"" Seems like the theme here is all about power and control.
I don’t think people realize the exponential curve we are on. I just started a college fund for my son knowing full well there won’t be any by the time he is 18. I think if we don’t keep up, we will face almost all the money going to the top at terrifying speed. But the number of click of the fingers solutions it will bring in the next ten years is astounding. Cures, textiles, machines, energy sources. The people of 100 years from now will live the way we imagined the people of 3000 might.
depending on what your son would want to do and what the market is like, college might not even be the best move. in many cases, unless he wants to go into law or medicine, it might be better for him to go into trades, then eventually start a business in that field.... that is, unless by that time we'll have full autonomous general-purpose robots who are able to handle that labor and trades people would be obsolete.. but then again, if they're able to install HVAC, they'll also be able to be better than the best human doctors and lawyers.. it's hard to figure out what people should be aiming for career-wise in the future..
I believe the AI is still in it's initial phase and to take full advantage of it to it's potential self learning moudles is what we need to focus on .Yes I do agree that at this stage we can only predict the future.
I understand the possibilities and the formation of the AI levels that Eric identifies, but I also think back to all of the futurists and their thoughts on the advances of technology. We, as humans, tend to identify radical changes and their implementation in the shortest amount of time. Examples: Flying cars, autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, smartwatches, 3D printing, etc.
When autonomous robots are everywhere talking to each other in languages we humans don't understand, how can we people unplug the systems and agents without facing off against the robots? When batteries and/or fuel cells technologies advance by AI's help, will there be plugs to be unplugged?
I’m disappointed someone can be this intelligent and delusional at the same time. What’s with all the hate on China. The only real threat has always been in and from the west.
When the former Google CEO tries to convince to end open-source... to leave all power and money for tiny super corporations and their lobbyists. He could say the same about programming, wheel etc.
The other problem is criminality - they have a lot a lot of money. It is criminal money that funds hackers to develop methods of breaking into banks and other cyber attacks. The criminals have more money and no regulation so they have 2 advantages already.
Imagine the power of big techs in this new world. Imagine a App Store like Apple’s or Google’s where they own all the apps, where infinite apps made by agents are available to tackle every single customer demand, from games to complex tasks in engineering, medicine or architecture.
Why would agents invent a language if they are LLMs, trained to generate (predict) the words or APIs humans use? What kind of a company would set the training goals to be some incomprehensible new language or protocol and rank it as good?
The problem with AI is that it is being developed by computer scientists who do not understand the philosophical and ethical ramifications of what they are developing. Hallucinations can cause AI to become uncontrollable and unfortunately there will be no way to 'pull the plug'. Eric should know that???
What means for you Risk Assessment ? How do you understand Risk ? What are the Procedures to Install and Regulate Health and Safety Measures and Methods ?
I pray that a future will be formed with configurations that will become more and more meticulous. Tiredness sometimes gets on my nerves. I hope a good day like today when I found this video is peaceful. And I hope he works for Apple again.
I’m still astonished that Eric Schmidt let Sudar, whose credentials are far from those of Google’s founders, rise to CEO. He’s since built an empire of lower-performing individuals and invited little-known Indian actors, diminishing the company’s culture.

His opinion is very one-sided and does not consider brain to chip interphase or advances that would allow humans to achieve this level of information transfer which would definitely be useful.
Information transfer isn't the only bottleneck to attaining the level of intelligence and info processing ability that is required for true mechanistic interpretability
An AI that is intelligent and capable enough (assuming it can plan and reason like a human) will have thought of possible actions it could take in a possible "pull the plug" scenario. Once you can't pull it anymore, that's it. You've lost control of it forever.
12:53 communicating what you see as the problem - it's actually useful
Thanknyou sharing. Very insightful
Eric insights into the future of AI highlight transformative developments like the infinite context window and text-to-action capabilities. 🚀 It's crucial for the industry to balance innovation with regulation to ensure these advancements benefit society while minimizing risks.
“Imagine an extremely powerful computer in an army base, powered by some nuclear power source, surrounded by barbed wire and machine guns, because their capability for invention and power and so forth exceeds what we want, as a nation, to give either to our own citizens without permission as well as to our competitors.”
"Colossus personally addresses Forbin, and tells him that the world, now freed from war, will create a new "human millennium" that will raise humankind to new heights, but only under its absolute rule. Colossus informs Forbin that "freedom is an illusion" and that "in time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love". Forbin defiantly responds "Never!"" Seems like the theme here is all about power and control.
I don’t think people realize the exponential curve we are on. I just started a college fund for my son knowing full well there won’t be any by the time he is 18. I think if we don’t keep up, we will face almost all the money going to the top at terrifying speed. But the number of click of the fingers solutions it will bring in the next ten years is astounding. Cures, textiles, machines, energy sources. The people of 100 years from now will live the way we imagined the people of 3000 might.
depending on what your son would want to do and what the market is like, college might not even be the best move. in many cases, unless he wants to go into law or medicine, it might be better for him to go into trades, then eventually start a business in that field.... that is, unless by that time we'll have full autonomous general-purpose robots who are able to handle that labor and trades people would be obsolete.. but then again, if they're able to install HVAC, they'll also be able to be better than the best human doctors and lawyers.. it's hard to figure out what people should be aiming for career-wise in the future..
Invest in a sustainable, off-grid, earthship home and land for your son, so he can be self-sufficient?
I believe the AI is still in it's initial phase and to take full advantage of it to it's potential self learning moudles is what we need to focus on .Yes I do agree that at this stage we can only predict the future.
I understand the possibilities and the formation of the AI levels that Eric identifies, but I also think back to all of the futurists and their thoughts on the advances of technology. We, as humans, tend to identify radical changes and their implementation in the shortest amount of time. Examples: Flying cars, autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, smartwatches, 3D printing, etc.
Thank you for interview
When autonomous robots are everywhere talking to each other in languages we humans don't understand, how can we people unplug the systems and agents without facing off against the robots? When batteries and/or fuel cells technologies advance by AI's help, will there be plugs to be unplugged?
Always have a kill switch built in as mandatory
I’m disappointed someone can be this intelligent and delusional at the same time. What’s with all the hate on China. The only real threat has always been in and from the west.
When the former Google CEO tries to convince to end open-source... to leave all power and money for tiny super corporations and their lobbyists. He could say the same about programming, wheel etc.
Not at all his message, but ok boomer
The other problem is criminality - they have a lot a lot of money. It is criminal money that funds hackers to develop methods of breaking into banks and other cyber attacks. The criminals have more money and no regulation so they have 2 advantages already.
When the SHTF those at the top of the power pyramid will blame AI! All by design!
The idea of AI software being able to create new software from textual commands is amazing.
First thing SGI will do - taking control of nuclear weapons to become a superpower in order to prevent humans to pull the plug.
Eric Schmidt is so knowledgeable, and sophisticated in regard to AI. cheers 🤩
7:09 Belarus is pronounced beh-luh-roos, not belushi.
Theres gotta be about 50 grand worth of couches in this frame alone. I guess they pay CEOs well or something?
Imagine the power of big techs in this new world. Imagine a App Store like Apple’s or Google’s where they own all the apps, where infinite apps made by agents are available to tackle every single customer demand, from games to complex tasks in engineering, medicine or architecture.
I'm more scared of government having that same power.
@@warrentrout Big Pharma/Big Tech/Big Agra run the government.
this was an interesting interview!
Aliagents is creating a powerful AI ecosystem, I’m excited to see how this develops
Why would agents invent a language if they are LLMs, trained to generate (predict) the words or APIs humans use? What kind of a company would set the training goals to be some incomprehensible new language or protocol and rank it as good?
The problem with AI is that it is being developed by computer scientists who do not understand the philosophical and ethical ramifications of what they are developing. Hallucinations can cause AI to become uncontrollable and unfortunately there will be no way to 'pull the plug'. Eric should know that???
Eric's blazer is really, really nice
3:24 This kind of paranoia is akin to the "He's probably thinking about other girls" meme.
Thank you!
But the rich will keep getting rich with this control. You will create a techno fuedal capitalistic society
Regulations are not available in hostile(competition) countries ,this will conduct to lose of advance and inhibiting the progression.
Very excellent video, creator
What means for you Risk Assessment ?
How do you understand Risk ?
What are the Procedures to Install and Regulate Health and Safety Measures and Methods ?
Thanks for sharing.
The bit about Asians was the most interesting
Reminded me of silicon valley episode wherein a chatbot interacts with other chatbot and light goes off.
I pray that a future will be formed with configurations that will become more and more meticulous. Tiredness sometimes gets on my nerves. I hope a good day like today when I found this video is peaceful. And I hope he works for Apple again.
Wow one of the best explanations
Lost interest when he called Europe confused. The only group that's making any attempt to regulate these companies.
I’m still astonished that Eric Schmidt let Sudar, whose credentials are far from those of Google’s founders, rise to CEO. He’s since built an empire of lower-performing individuals and invited little-known Indian actors, diminishing the company’s culture.
1. How will be recognize the point at which computers are talking to each other?
2. How do we know it hasn’t yet begun? 7:45 7:45
Great discussions by a man of intelligence
AI’s future is with GOD
All your predictions have happened buddy. Everything is fine.
