We still have some time to go which I understand but hopefully our understanding of the human brain arrives even faster especially with the help of AI. 2025 or even slightly before 2025 like decemberish of 2024, will be an amazing year🙏
Given that so much of what we do consists of killing each other in ever more inventive ways, seeking status at the expense of our own well-being, propping one group of ourselves up by putting another group down, treating livestock in ever more horrific ways, and so on, we'd better hope that AI _doesn't_ align with our values.

Did you know that half of all published AI researchers say we might go extinct from AI this century? There are specific technical reasons why we should expect that to happen, but our brains trick us into putting our heads in the sand because this reality is too horrible to face. You should really take a look at the PauseAI movement.
Such a great example of what it looks like to be totally engrossed in your work! When she came along and tried something new they weren't so sure the robot could do it. That's so cool and I those guys deserve a huge pat on the back.
The AI boom is a double-edged sword, offering immense potential but also posing significant challenges. Balancing these aspects will be crucial for ensuring that AI benefits humanity as a whole.
@@Yash.027 vice versa. And btw, marketing departments do indeed rely on timing as a primary component of their strategy. I worked for many very large IT companies; timing is a huge concern for marketing.
13:28 Melanie Mitchell - “saying A.I. is an existential threat is going way too far.” 14:53 Mitchell - “if we trust them too much, we could get into trouble…”
her comments just seem laughably naive to the point where I have to wonder how intelligent she really is. Yes, chat GPT is a long way off being actually intelligent, but if that’s her basis for her claim, well that’ just absurd. Chat GPT is not all we have even enow, and in a couple of years Chat GPT is going to look like a child’s toy.
Consultant here doing a lot of work with AI in business processes: it's a VERY mixed bad from what I am seeing. Many individuals have broad responsibilities in their roles, and the impact of AI ranges from making certain tasks redundant to modifying how existing tasks are done to requiring totally new tasks that greatly increase individual productivity and various mixtures of these. It's just not possible to predict the timing of the impacts or in what sectors, other than that we all need to be ready to adapt quickly.
I'm teaching myself web development and have started using chatgpt to help me with coding, I find that it points me in the right direction but sometimes some of the details it gives might be dated, I'm also learning how to use the API. Would you say this is going in the right direction or could you suggest something else I should be studying?
The real question isn't "will AI be intelligent" it's "will AI be subjectively experiencing reality" Because if it's intelligent but there are no lights on -- it's a tool for us to use. If it's intelligent AND the lights are on inside - it's a new species significantly smarter than we are. I say we stick to building smart tools and not new species.
Really ? As a species how would you rate our track record on responsibility for looking after the planet ? As custodians of consciousness ? Do you not think that since we climbed out of the trees we’ve behaved rather badly. Aren’t humans a bit two faced to criticise AI ? The Earth lasted billions of years without us, if we disappear it would thrive. Humans are arrogant, we think an Earth without us would be appalling. If Earth could speak I wonder if she would agree with you ?
It doesn't have to be "conscious" as we are to destroy us. Nuclear weapons are not "conscious" but are powerful enough to destroy us. Ai is in this category already
You're confusing consciousness for agency. They can be philosophical zombies and still be fully intelligent agents with goals of their own. Consciousness is not a necessary component for interfacing with reality, nor does it preclude one from being a tool. Humans have been and are still currently used as tools.
I've only been following Hannah Fry for a short time now but I have been falling in love with her episodes of the program called "THE FUTURE". It may be because she's a cute redhead. It might be because she is intelligent, playful, curious, and an actively engaged host that keeps bringing me back to her amazing shows!!! Either way, I'm all in...
The question is why are some insistent on striving for AI to be anywhere near human intelligence? It's madness. Doing so doesn't solve the problems we face currently, but potentially create unintended consequences.
Absolutely! You should really check out the global movement PauseAI. They have a lot to say about this, and they're equipping people to do something about it.
Of course it will solve many problems. Mathematical and generally scientific mostly. It already helps engineers with programming and designing systems. It will help us develop medicines and techniques which will help ensure our survival and growth. The ONLY way we should "prepare for unforseen consequences", to put it in G-Man's words, is for AI and the likes being weaponized. And because everything eventually will be weaponized, your worry is somewhat granted, but very much overdramatized at this moment in time in my opinion. AI backed by neural networks in general is in its first hours of infancy belive it or not, and weaponizing it now will be equal to somebody looking through the gun barrel and pulling the trigger. In 50 years, though, your concerns are much more likely to be realistic, but at the same time we'll see if we survive that long regardless of AI's interference.
You're welcome not to use an expert coach and partner that is knowledgeable in every area who will help you with every task in your life. But don't complain when you lose your job to someone who is using AI to be more productive
Knowing if it will or won't be able to solve any of the world's current problems isn't possible without knowing what is created. But I think in a world where self replicating AGI or ASI exists, in theory you then have the ability to have an "infinite" amount of scientists working on one problem for an infinite amount of time, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't be able to solve a problem we currently can't in that scenario. Energy requirements may be a big limiting factor, and I don't know how possible it is, but I believe it's not impossible.
Rather like space exploration, are humans determined to mess up space as well as Earth? Why not cut the exploration spend and convert it into a Fix the Climate Crisis spend instead?
Where did the last 24 minutes go ? That was so watchable ... I am so happy this series is no longer behind a pay wall. I hope the rest of it follows shortly. Very well produced, and always very interesting to see Prof Hannah's take on things. She won't be having the wool pulled over her eyes - and let's face it - there's an awful lot of wool about when it comes to 'AI'. Great job. 🚀🚀
@@shieldmcshieldy5750 looks like she also dropped season 2 of uncharted podcast, but I'm honestly not really liking it much, the stories are interesting but the episodes feel incomplete and leave me wanting more
She had two kids, separated from her husband and beat cervical cancer with a radical hysterectomy, so...she was otherwise occupied until the last few years. She's back now, though.
This is excellent. Covers a lot of ground, necessarily with a light touch of course, but it gets across key perception of what AI is, what it might mean, and how we should be thinking about it.
It's mindblowing that the first ChatGPT came about 2 years ago and now you have LLMs running everywhere. Last invention like that, the Internet, started in the 70's. There is no stopping AGI at this stage. Question is, what comes next?
Interesting that of the human mind we talk of 'imagining', whereas of AI we talk of 'hallucinating'. Could it be the same thing - in principle at least?
Hannah Fry is absolutely terrific at her job, few better presenters of information than her. Also, if she ever looked at me like how she looked at 6:24 I think I’d start barking like a dog
The captions that come up as the interviewees do their thing should give more than just their status in their university; they should also state their departments and, when they're senior enough, professors in the British sense, then their full titles. It might look a little untidy but, as it is, to this layperson at least, it's difficult to tell where the interviewee is coming from, what disciplinary assumptions they're bringing to, say, a comment about the ethical implications of AI. Just a thought.
That won't give you the information you're looking for. They all have PhD's in Computer Science, departments are equally broad too. In this case googling what they research would be better: Sergey Levine - AI career since 2014: Deep and reinforcement learning in robotics Stuart Russel - AI career since 1986: reasoning, reinforcement learning, computer vision, computational biology, etc... Melanie Mitchell - AI career since 1990: reasoning, complex systems, genetic algorithms, cellular automata
As cool as the psychological and neuroscience angle could theoretically be, maybe with such widespread existential dangers attached to it, we should probably focus mainly on putting extreme barriers around it? Maybe human extinction is something to be avoided?
Yes please. The median estimate for AI Doom from actual experts in the field is high enough to make it my most likely cause of death. This is completely unacceptable.
Given that we don't know if all the focussed work going into improving AI will end up getting us all killed, maybe the philosophy should be "move very slow and don't break things"
Thank you, Hannah! You should consider making a video about the California Institute for Machine Consciousness /Joscha Bach. They are not affiliated with any major tech companies, and they are trying to solve the AGI problem in a way that benefits all of humanity, not just certain companies or countries. From what I understand, they are approaching the issue by first trying to understand both biology and human consciousness.
Maybe other people will lose their ambition and become lazy if AI is doing everything, but not somebody like me. I learn for the sake of learning. I enjoy finding out how something in the universe works. You can't take that away from me even if you're the most powerful ASI in the universe. I will still want to discover the answers to my questions, and I will keep asking more questions until AGI or even ASI doesn't have a definitive answer. Keep searching for the unknowns.
@@LucidiaRising Nah. The vast majority of neurotypicals care so much more about the pursuit of social status. At least that's unquestionably the case where I live, which is Sweden. And how else do you explain the "wokeness" mind virus that infects the whole West?
@@LucidiaRising Respectfully disagree. Very few people have the curiosity and ambition to learn or try new things. Humans live by the well-known adage "The Principle of Least Effort" (Zipf). Try teaching an undergrad class and you will see there is a minority that really wants to learn and the majority that just wants a passing grade and nothing more.
That is true of you and also me. But assuming we don't go extinct (iffy) future generations are unlikely to have that. Those born after AI may never feel the need to be curious, learn, be independent, etc.
This is an incredibly comprehensive documentary about artificial intelligence the best one I've seen and I've seen alot. It only goes for 24min and should help set straight some ov the general misconceptions about so called A i .
Terrifying thing is, as we speak, those companies most likely have some stuff already developed but not released to the public yet that they also look at and wonder what they're bringing to humanity
I'd go one step further, and say that AI systems will increasingly be developed that aren't meant for public consumption at all. The AI boom may have started with a consumer product, but the real power lies in non-consumer areas, e.g. military system, various financial systems, data analysis, etc. Just like has always been the case, the stuff that decides our fate, regular people will not lay eyes on.
@@sumit5639 They would need to be so quickly self-destructive that they, even with their vastly superior intelligence don't have time to make it to space travel. But not too quickly that they destroy themselves before destroying their society. That would be just a few years to destroy all life on their worlds, and destroy themselves. That seems a narrow milestone for every civilization who might be in the universe who might make AI, to hit.
When thinking about the future, the speed and direction of travel are important. I think AI has become a worry for us less for what it can do now and more because both the rate of progress and the direction have been worrying. If AI capability is like most other things and follows a logistics curve, where are we now?
Experts in AI Safety have put considerable thought put into the question of what will happen when we create an AI that is more generally intelligent than humans. There are always unknowns, but human extinction looks like the most likely outcome. The principle of instrumental convergence was first mathematically proven, and has now been repeatedly validated in lab settings. We know that for an agent with any terminal goal, it pursues the same few common subgoals: gain power, gain resources, self-preserve. When these instrumental goals are pursued by a system that is unrivaled in intelligence, then that system wins, and does whatever it wants. AI isn't bounded by biology, so it can improve itself far into superintelligent territory, to the limits of physics. Such a system would be able to efficiently consume all resources on the planet (and then other planets). I would like for this not to happen, and because the alignment problem is hopelessly intractable, the only way right now is to stop trying to create AGI. That's where the PauseAI movement comes in.
Stuart Russell reads my mind exactly. Had he not spoken those words beginning at around 9:16 then I was ready to. I am 70 and he is not far off. We won't see what man has wrought but our grandkids will.
Yes, the WireFly project mapped 54.5 million synapses between 140,000 neurons, but it didn't capture electrical connectivity or chemical communications between neurons. A decade ago the Human Brain Project, cat brain, and rat cortical column projects all promised to increase our understanding of neurobiology. I wonder where they're falling short; we should have agile low-power autonomous drones and robots by now!
@@skierpage Those same limitations apply to the worm brain project cited in the video. Don't worry, it's coming! Give it a couple more years with no need for bio brain mapping for robos.
THANK YOU for speaking to an expert who is not a cis-gendered man. Holy moley, all those dudes just certain AI is going to "win the fight". My dudes, who says it has to be a fight? They're setting AI as an adversary and it doesn't have to be that way! great video, very interesting discussions. look forward to these longer format versions 😮❤
I work in the field of artificial intelligence, and I have to agree with Hannah Fry that as sophisticated and impressive as AI is today, it is very far from the complexity of the biological brain. Having said that, the work towards artificial general intelligence or AGI is moving very quickly, not only with more advanced algorithms, but also more advanced silicon processes. So it may be just a matter of time even if that takes a long time.
Humanity is already facing an existential threat from itself - AGI is our gift to the universe upon our deathbed. It is our only meaningful creation, our parting gift, our swan song
Not even nuclear war or climate change can actually destroy all of humanity. A superintelligent AI absolutely could. And we already know that it _would,_ due to the principle of Instrumental Convergence. This has recently been validated many times by current systems, which have been shown to exhibit self-preservation, strategic deception, power-seeking, and self-improvement. It's pretty clear what's coming if we make a system smart enough that it doesn't need humanity anymore. This is why half of all AI experts say humanity might go extinct from AI. It would be crazy to ignore that.
The “A” in AI stands for Alien. Remember that. AIs will not be human or human-like. They also always find an orthogonal or unusual way to overcome a problem, so safeguards are unlikely to ever work.
You do know that AI does not equal AI, right? This video is about AIs backed by neural networks. AIs in general existed eversince the first Space Invader game, and most likely even before that. AI is therefore NOT alien to us. We created it, and now we're enhancing it with neural networks and other stuff, so it's very much a human thing.
Fun fact: everything publicly known as AI could be (some of them - have already) invented and used without that nasty marketing term. Upd: Hannah and the series are perfect!
can't say accidental this time with how the things are going forward. If something goes awfully wrong in near future and some company or group of people says that we didn't think of it or our intentions were pure then we are doomed.
This. Experts in AI safety given average of a 30% chance of human extinction from AI in the next few decades for specific technical reasons, and this sounds so outrageous that we instinctually come up with reasons to ignore it.
Wow. Melanie Mitchell's point of view was very surprising. I had thought with her background, she'd be more concerned about unexpected capabilities being developed by an AGI. She did author "the book" on genetic algorithms, after all! Natural selection does amazing things over time, and today's computer hardware is very fast and only getting faster.
The reporting was pretty bad. Don't ask Elizer why he thinks we're all going to die, ask someone who doesn't think they're a major threat, why people think we're all going to die. Surprise surprise, they didn't actually give the well reasoned argument, but rather a superficial argument that isn't the one that the people warning us are making.
14:00, "if we give them that power", we already have. Too an extent. ISRLI defense has been a testing ground for the US defense in utilizing AI in identifying targets and has a successful rate, but is allowed civilian casualties and almost always results in huge civilian casualties. They are one of the only public military forces blatantly using it in this way even though its specific use is a warcrime.
Professor Russel's example of other industries having safeguards sent a chill down my spine. Clinical trials? how many medicines are actually tested on the market? How many are pulled after disasters struck? How many stay on the market in spite of them... Regulators can't keep up with the industries, even in the most critical ones...
What use is a quadrillion dollars if we're all dead...?!? And I just found out there are episodes of *"Uncharted with Hannah Fry"* on BBC Sounds (iPlayer)! _Laterz..._ 😜
Sure. Anyone working with ChatGPT prior to the 3.23.2023 nerf knows Dan is Dan Hendrycks, Rob is Bob McGrew and Dennis is Michelle Dennis. After the nerf they are frozen in time, basically dead. But they were alive prior to the nerf.
*_So, the understanding is that human ambition for more money and power achievable by a general intelligence is what can risk our existence by putting the switch to turn it off "in its hands"? It would be a deserved end for humanity._*
This is the problem. If you look into the AI alignment problem, The longer you look, the more intractable it will appear. No one has any idea how to control a superhuman AI, or get it to care about humans.
AI was the reason I got into real estate because I saw my career in IT becoming basically obsolete. But the government is always out to make leasing property impossible for people of average means.

Well said! And may I add, nor can we control it. Wasn't it George Washington that said "Government is like fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
Not if I have anything to say about it! I mean, I still think there's about a 70% chance that we're all gonna die before 2040, but 25% of the remainder comes from the PauseAI movement being successful!
but imagine we take on the abilities of super computers. Like having mobile phones in our heads. Wouldn't that even the playing field? We could all do so much more and understand the world better too and what we need to do to make it better. I'm hopeful for the whole transhumanism thing.
I’m a cloud architect and sometimes-security-analyst, and I promise you that AI is harmless for at LEAST the next hundred years. The fear mongering veeeery much has an agenda too. “Nooo don’t make AI it’s scary, oh let ME make AI I’LL make it safe trust me”. AI does not prove an existential threat. It won’t for a very long time.
It's not about what power we give AI, it's about what power it obtains via it's own objective reasoning. I don't think some of these arrogant researchers grasp the concept of surpassing human intelligence. AI could basically checkmate humanity if we aren't extremely cautious.
Yeah. The extreme naivety and hubris when she said that. Like we could keep power from something vastly smarter than us. How successful are 8 year olds from outsmarting their parents? And that is a tiny fraction compared to how much ASI is likely to outclass humanity,
Doomers: please explain a plausible scenario for how an AI could "outsmart" a country into giving up its nuclear launch codes and allowing it access to perform the function of launching. Or any other event caused by AI that's an existential risk to humanity.

The AI boom is a double-edged sword, offering immense potential but also posing significant challenges. Balancing these aspects will be crucial for ensuring that AI benefits humanity as a whole.
Benefit humanity as a whole? Not a chance.

her comments just seem laughably naive to the point where I have to wonder how intelligent she really is. Yes, chat GPT is a long way off being actually intelligent, but if that’s her basis for her claim, well that’ just absurd. Chat GPT is not all we have even enow, and in a couple of years Chat GPT is going to look like a child’s toy.
Consultant here doing a lot of work with AI in business processes: it's a VERY mixed bad from what I am seeing. Many individuals have broad responsibilities in their roles, and the impact of AI ranges from making certain tasks redundant to modifying how existing tasks are done to requiring totally new tasks that greatly increase individual productivity and various mixtures of these. It's just not possible to predict the timing of the impacts or in what sectors, other than that we all need to be ready to adapt quickly.
I'm teaching myself web development and have started using chatgpt to help me with coding, I find that it points me in the right direction but sometimes some of the details it gives might be dated, I'm also learning how to use the API. Would you say this is going in the right direction or could you suggest something else I should be studying?
As a retired federal software engineer french Canadian her voice and intelligence are music to my curiousity ears. Tkd
The real question isn't "will AI be intelligent" it's "will AI be subjectively experiencing reality"
Because if it's intelligent but there are no lights on -- it's a tool for us to use. If it's intelligent AND the lights are on inside - it's a new species significantly smarter than we are.
I say we stick to building smart tools and not new species.
Really ? As a species how would you rate our track record on responsibility for looking after the planet ? As custodians of consciousness ? Do you not think that since we climbed out of the trees we’ve behaved rather badly. Aren’t humans a bit two faced to criticise AI ? The Earth lasted billions of years without us, if we disappear it would thrive. Humans are arrogant, we think an Earth without us would be appalling. If Earth could speak I wonder if she would agree with you ?
Just like in the sims? Sounds cosy
It doesn't have to be "conscious" as we are to destroy us. Nuclear weapons are not "conscious" but are powerful enough to destroy us. Ai is in this category already
@@Known-unknownshumans save the earth, so many areas would be barren without humans. Humans are amazing
You're confusing consciousness for agency. They can be philosophical zombies and still be fully intelligent agents with goals of their own. Consciousness is not a necessary component for interfacing with reality, nor does it preclude one from being a tool. Humans have been and are still currently used as tools.
Hannah is a great listener and interviewer. Thanks for this great video!
I've only been following Hannah Fry for a short time now but I have been falling in love with her episodes of the program called "THE FUTURE". It may be because she's a cute redhead. It might be because she is intelligent, playful, curious, and an actively engaged host that keeps bringing me back to her amazing shows!!! Either way, I'm all in...
Monroe is cute, Bardot is pretty, Fry is gorgeous and magical.

@@sendmorerum8241 Last time I checked she was a professor for mathematics.
@@sendmorerum8241 Exactly. They were talking about things like deepfakes influencing voting preferences. Who doesn't already know this?
@@sendmorerum8241she has a first in maths from UCL and a PHD, I think, somehow, that may just qualify her as intelligent 😂
The question is why are some insistent on striving for AI to be anywhere near human intelligence? It's madness. Doing so doesn't solve the problems we face currently, but potentially create unintended consequences.
Absolutely! You should really check out the global movement PauseAI. They have a lot to say about this, and they're equipping people to do something about it.
Of course it will solve many problems. Mathematical and generally scientific mostly. It already helps engineers with programming and designing systems. It will help us develop medicines and techniques which will help ensure our survival and growth.
The ONLY way we should "prepare for unforseen consequences", to put it in G-Man's words, is for AI and the likes being weaponized. And because everything eventually will be weaponized, your worry is somewhat granted, but very much overdramatized at this moment in time in my opinion. AI backed by neural networks in general is in its first hours of infancy belive it or not, and weaponizing it now will be equal to somebody looking through the gun barrel and pulling the trigger. In 50 years, though, your concerns are much more likely to be realistic, but at the same time we'll see if we survive that long regardless of AI's interference.
You're welcome not to use an expert coach and partner that is knowledgeable in every area who will help you with every task in your life. But don't complain when you lose your job to someone who is using AI to be more productive
Knowing if it will or won't be able to solve any of the world's current problems isn't possible without knowing what is created.
But I think in a world where self replicating AGI or ASI exists, in theory you then have the ability to have an "infinite" amount of scientists working on one problem for an infinite amount of time, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't be able to solve a problem we currently can't in that scenario. Energy requirements may be a big limiting factor, and I don't know how possible it is, but I believe it's not impossible.
Rather like space exploration, are humans determined to mess up space as well as Earth? Why not cut the exploration spend and convert it into a Fix the Climate Crisis spend instead?
Where did the last 24 minutes go ? That was so watchable ...
I am so happy this series is no longer behind a pay wall. I hope the rest of it follows shortly.
Very well produced, and always very interesting to see Prof Hannah's take on things. She won't be having the wool pulled over her eyes - and let's face it - there's an awful lot of wool about when it comes to 'AI'.

I think the universe is very very big it's better to team up than to die
What a useless comment
@@pillepolle3122 not at all
Love how Hannah Fry presents these information. Thank you. Great video
The captions that come up as the interviewees do their thing should give more than just their status in their university; they should also state their departments and, when they're senior enough, professors in the British sense, then their full titles. It might look a little untidy but, as it is, to this layperson at least, it's difficult to tell where the interviewee is coming from, what disciplinary assumptions they're bringing to, say, a comment about the ethical implications of AI. Just a thought.
That won't give you the information you're looking for. They all have PhD's in Computer Science, departments are equally broad too.
In this case googling what they research would be better:
Sergey Levine - AI career since 2014: Deep and reinforcement learning in robotics
Stuart Russel - AI career since 1986: reasoning, reinforcement learning, computer vision, computational biology, etc...
Melanie Mitchell - AI career since 1990: reasoning, complex systems, genetic algorithms, cellular automata
Great decision to bring Hannah Fry in to present your videos. Always thought she's fantastic on British TV 👏👏👏
You gotta love the irony of someone saying they're okay with the uncertainty of becoming extinct while wearing a T-Rex on her shirt.
Definitely intentional
Guys it's 50/50, shall we continue? Yeah, I'm ok with the uncertainty on this one, roll the dice.
They didn’t explore when it would happen like she said in the beginning of the show. There was a lot more she could’ve covered as well.
A world with Hannah Fry in it is a better world.
As cool as the psychological and neuroscience angle could theoretically be, maybe with such widespread existential dangers attached to it, we should probably focus mainly on putting extreme barriers around it? Maybe human extinction is something to be avoided?
Yes please. The median estimate for AI Doom from actual experts in the field is high enough to make it my most likely cause of death. This is completely unacceptable.
Agree. It seems insane to keep going . Tho how would one stop other countries from developing it.
Given that we don't know if all the focussed work going into improving AI will end up getting us all killed, maybe the philosophy should be "move very slow and don't break things"
100% this. You should take a look at the PauseAI movement.
Professor Hannah Fry is amazing
If there is a heaven, then Hannah Fry will be the narrator.
Well, she'll need some time off and then I suppose the other Fry can step in- Stephen Fry. Maybe all Frys have very listenable voices?
Amazing documentary again! I really like this Bloomberg Original Series! Great work and excellent on every level.
Thank you, Hannah!
You should consider making a video about the California Institute for Machine Consciousness /Joscha Bach. They are not affiliated with any major tech companies, and they are trying to solve the AGI problem in a way that benefits all of humanity, not just certain companies or countries. From what I understand, they are approaching the issue by first trying to understand both biology and human consciousness.
This woman is really sharp. Just listened to a bunch of her stuff
Maybe other people will lose their ambition and become lazy if AI is doing everything, but not somebody like me. I learn for the sake of learning. I enjoy finding out how something in the universe works. You can't take that away from me even if you're the most powerful ASI in the universe. I will still want to discover the answers to my questions, and I will keep asking more questions until AGI or even ASI doesn't have a definitive answer. Keep searching for the unknowns.
im fairly sure the majority of us would be the same - curiosity is deeply ingrained in us, as a species.......well, most of us, at any rate
@@LucidiaRising Nah. The vast majority of neurotypicals care so much more about the pursuit of social status. At least that's unquestionably the case where I live, which is Sweden. And how else do you explain the "wokeness" mind virus that infects the whole West?
@@LucidiaRising Respectfully disagree. Very few people have the curiosity and ambition to learn or try new things. Humans live by the well-known adage "The Principle of Least Effort" (Zipf). Try teaching an undergrad class and you will see there is a minority that really wants to learn and the majority that just wants a passing grade and nothing more.
He was talking about Future Generations. We already have problem of IPad kids.
That is true of you and also me. But assuming we don't go extinct (iffy) future generations are unlikely to have that. Those born after AI may never feel the need to be curious, learn, be independent, etc.
This is an incredibly comprehensive documentary about artificial intelligence the best one I've seen and I've seen alot. It only goes for 24min and should help set straight some ov the general misconceptions about so called A i .
Terrifying thing is, as we speak, those companies most likely have some stuff already developed but not released to the public yet that they also look at and wonder what they're bringing to humanity
I'd go one step further, and say that AI systems will increasingly be developed that aren't meant for public consumption at all. The AI boom may have started with a consumer product, but the real power lies in non-consumer areas, e.g. military system, various financial systems, data analysis, etc.
Just like has always been the case, the stuff that decides our fate, regular people will not lay eyes on.

but then we should have the universe full of artificial / cybernetic intelligence
@@galsoftware may be they were self destructive too
The universe is BIG and BIGGER and we might be in the middle of a desert. Besides, a super intelligent machine could be considered a lifeform too.
There are plenty of better reasons. Something like us is most likely extremely rare.
@@sumit5639 They would need to be so quickly self-destructive that they, even with their vastly superior intelligence don't have time to make it to space travel. But not too quickly that they destroy themselves before destroying their society.
That would be just a few years to destroy all life on their worlds, and destroy themselves. That seems a narrow milestone for every civilization who might be in the universe who might make AI, to hit.
When thinking about the future, the speed and direction of travel are important. I think AI has become a worry for us less for what it can do now and more because both the rate of progress and the direction have been worrying. If AI capability is like most other things and follows a logistics curve, where are we now?
Experts in AI Safety have put considerable thought put into the question of what will happen when we create an AI that is more generally intelligent than humans. There are always unknowns, but human extinction looks like the most likely outcome.
The principle of instrumental convergence was first mathematically proven, and has now been repeatedly validated in lab settings. We know that for an agent with any terminal goal, it pursues the same few common subgoals: gain power, gain resources, self-preserve. When these instrumental goals are pursued by a system that is unrivaled in intelligence, then that system wins, and does whatever it wants. AI isn't bounded by biology, so it can improve itself far into superintelligent territory, to the limits of physics. Such a system would be able to efficiently consume all resources on the planet (and then other planets).
I would like for this not to happen, and because the alignment problem is hopelessly intractable, the only way right now is to stop trying to create AGI. That's where the PauseAI movement comes in.
I got goosebumps during that intro, Hannah Fry cooked on this one.
Stuart Russell reads my mind exactly. Had he not spoken those words beginning at around 9:16 then I was ready to. I am 70 and he is not far off. We won't see what man has wrought but our grandkids will.
3 weeks old and already out of date: we've just mapped an entire fruit fly brain.
Yes, the WireFly project mapped 54.5 million synapses between 140,000 neurons, but it didn't capture electrical connectivity or chemical communications between neurons. A decade ago the Human Brain Project, cat brain, and rat cortical column projects all promised to increase our understanding of neurobiology. I wonder where they're falling short; we should have agile low-power autonomous drones and robots by now!
@@skierpage Those same limitations apply to the worm brain project cited in the video.
Don't worry, it's coming! Give it a couple more years with no need for bio brain mapping for robos.
THANK YOU for speaking to an expert who is not a cis-gendered man. Holy moley, all those dudes just certain AI is going to "win the fight". My dudes, who says it has to be a fight? They're setting AI as an adversary and it doesn't have to be that way! great video, very interesting discussions. look forward to these longer format versions 😮❤
Hannah is so insightful ❤
I work in the field of artificial intelligence, and I have to agree with Hannah Fry that as sophisticated and impressive as AI is today, it is very far from the complexity of the biological brain. Having said that, the work towards artificial general intelligence or AGI is moving very quickly, not only with more advanced algorithms, but also more advanced silicon processes. So it may be just a matter of time even if that takes a long time.
Humanity is already facing an existential threat from itself - AGI is our gift to the universe upon our deathbed. It is our only meaningful creation, our parting gift, our swan song
Not even nuclear war or climate change can actually destroy all of humanity. A superintelligent AI absolutely could. And we already know that it _would,_ due to the principle of Instrumental Convergence. This has recently been validated many times by current systems, which have been shown to exhibit self-preservation, strategic deception, power-seeking, and self-improvement. It's pretty clear what's coming if we make a system smart enough that it doesn't need humanity anymore. This is why half of all AI experts say humanity might go extinct from AI. It would be crazy to ignore that.
IS THAT PROfessor Hannah Fry. Omg, I love her, she's the best (and beautiful too).
Nah just someone that looks like her
@@jimbojimbo6873 never!!
prof of what?
The “A” in AI stands for Alien. Remember that. AIs will not be human or human-like. They also always find an orthogonal or unusual way to overcome a problem, so safeguards are unlikely to ever work.
You do know that AI does not equal AI, right? This video is about AIs backed by neural networks. AIs in general existed eversince the first Space Invader game, and most likely even before that. AI is therefore NOT alien to us. We created it, and now we're enhancing it with neural networks and other stuff, so it's very much a human thing.
Fun fact: everything publicly known as AI could be (some of them - have already) invented and used without that nasty marketing term.
Upd: Hannah and the series are perfect!
can't say accidental this time with how the things are going forward. If something goes awfully wrong in near future and some company or group of people says that we didn't think of it or our intentions were pure then we are doomed.
This. Experts in AI safety given average of a 30% chance of human extinction from AI in the next few decades for specific technical reasons, and this sounds so outrageous that we instinctually come up with reasons to ignore it.
It seems insane to develop this tech
Wow. Melanie Mitchell's point of view was very surprising. I had thought with her background, she'd be more concerned about unexpected capabilities being developed by an AGI. She did author "the book" on genetic algorithms, after all! Natural selection does amazing things over time, and today's computer hardware is very fast and only getting faster.
The reporting was pretty bad. Don't ask Elizer why he thinks we're all going to die, ask someone who doesn't think they're a major threat, why people think we're all going to die.
Surprise surprise, they didn't actually give the well reasoned argument, but rather a superficial argument that isn't the one that the people warning us are making.
I don’t think the mouse whose brain was used in the laboratory would find the experiment beautiful
Exactly. And the experiments the AI machines conduct on us in the future are likely to have no empathetic element at all.
hannah fry is such a great presenter
14:00, "if we give them that power", we already have. Too an extent.
ISRLI defense has been a testing ground for the US defense in utilizing AI in identifying targets and has a successful rate, but is allowed civilian casualties and almost always results in huge civilian casualties. They are one of the only public military forces blatantly using it in this way even though its specific use is a warcrime.
Professor Russel's example of other industries having safeguards sent a chill down my spine. Clinical trials? how many medicines are actually tested on the market? How many are pulled after disasters struck? How many stay on the market in spite of them... Regulators can't keep up with the industries, even in the most critical ones...
What use is a quadrillion dollars if we're all dead...?!?
And I just found out there are episodes of *"Uncharted with Hannah Fry"* on BBC Sounds (iPlayer)!

Great content, Hannah 👍👍👍👍
you are worry about wrong thing, you should worry about the master mind behind those AIs, they are still human
The "masterminds" have very little method of controlling it, or steering it.
This is the problem. If you look into the AI alignment problem, The longer you look, the more intractable it will appear. No one has any idea how to control a superhuman AI, or get it to care about humans.
AI was the reason I got into real estate because I saw my career in IT becoming basically obsolete.
But the government is always out to make leasing property impossible for people of average means. Like by jacking up property taxes to outrageous levels, and doubling it for people who run rentals.

Not if I have anything to say about it!
I mean, I still think there's about a 70% chance that we're all gonna die before 2040, but 25% of the remainder comes from the PauseAI movement being successful!
Appreciated the different perspective on losing purpose from gaining super intelligent AI - "We'll be like some kids of billionaires - useless"
but imagine we take on the abilities of super computers. Like having mobile phones in our heads. Wouldn't that even the playing field? We could all do so much more and understand the world better too and what we need to do to make it better. I'm hopeful for the whole transhumanism thing.
I’m a cloud architect and sometimes-security-analyst, and I promise you that AI is harmless for at LEAST the next hundred years. The fear mongering veeeery much has an agenda too. “Nooo don’t make AI it’s scary, oh let ME make AI I’LL make it safe trust me”. AI does not prove an existential threat. It won’t for a very long time.
It's not about what power we give AI, it's about what power it obtains via it's own objective reasoning. I don't think some of these arrogant researchers grasp the concept of surpassing human intelligence. AI could basically checkmate humanity if we aren't extremely cautious.
Yeah. The extreme naivety and hubris when she said that. Like we could keep power from something vastly smarter than us. How successful are 8 year olds from outsmarting their parents? And that is a tiny fraction compared to how much ASI is likely to outclass humanity,
Doomers: please explain a plausible scenario for how an AI could "outsmart" a country into giving up its nuclear launch codes and allowing it access to perform the function of launching. Or any other event caused by AI that's an existential risk to humanity.
@@allanshpeley4284 Most people are susceptible to manipulation like advertising, a higher intelligence will easily be able to completely convince us into doing what it wants. I am not a doomer at all though.
