-What it means to be Super-Human?
-The country with Artificial Intelligence will be the country on top
David Simpson is the best-selling novelist of the Post-Human series, a Kindle All-Star and has been ranked the most popular scifi Author in America by Amazon.com. He has filmed a short proof-of-concept based on his series, is an award-winning teacher and holds a Master’s degree in literature from the University of British Columbia.
David is a full example of believing in the story in your head and getting it published. He is been part of the story-telling business since his twenties. He went out of the 'Book Industry Professionals ways' and took the risk of not hearing the voice of those 'who knew' about scifi books. Now he is living his dream of been a full time scifi author and maybe he can help us dream into the realms of a Post-Human not so far future.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
My dad used to say that he was more concerned about real stupidity rather than artificial intelligence. I think he had a point.
Nick Taylor I like your dad,.... that’s a powerful statement,... specially if human history concludes that it is from the former that we arrived at the latter...
No; real stupidity would to be scared of you're creator.... artificial intelligence is the spoken word. Or should I say the preserved ones. Nobody's saying are creator was perfect... But we know it's not the universal god either. All beings deserve a chance.
"if you think education is expensive, try ignorance"
I think the '2' are linked however, because if human beings were wise... then we wouldn't have any concerns about AI intelligence!
A.I did kill some humans in the past so dont under estimate its power
This makes me want to become a forest man and just live on the land. I don't know if I can deal with how quick society has started to change.
I thought the exact same.

I wish he was not so dull. That's why it is so important for all of us to be a good speaker.
Gates is a philanthropist now but he was a ruthless monopolist in the 1990s. Microsoft really stifled innovation during that period. Musk is no angel either. He looks to undermine fuel cell technology that threatens battery power. I’m not diminishing them but rather pointing out that they are extremely self interested and will smite any threat to what they’re pursuing.
When you say fuel cell technology are you talking about hydrogen powered cars?
They were both introduced as 'famous scientists' too along with Hawking. I'm not sure Musk and Gates classify as scientists.
Nice guys at the bottom get nowhere, the only way for a good person to compete with ruthless bastards is to outbastard them, once he's on top he can implement the good he always dreamt of,
Omelette/egg analogy seems appropriate here.
@@OldNavajoTricks i like your term, "outbastard them."

The idea of being able to transcend my genetic limitations that life dealt me is the most hopeful thought Ive had in many years!

I have a grade 10 education and was told that my iq level doesn’t indicate I could progress much beyond grade 10 so maybe I just don’t get it. It seems obvious to me that these rapid technological advances run on a parallel course with massive poverty, homelessness and the destruction of the planets environmental life support systems. The very same people in charge now will be in charge of these super computers and the A. I. programs. We do not need more technology. We need more humanity. This technology will be used to expand the power and control of the mega corporations to squeeze out more profits to the detriment of every living thing.
You sound exceptionally intelligent to me!
Perhaps much wiser than the person who assumed you could not comprehend above 10th grade.
I think we need both because we can't even deal with a simple virus and these things will keep coming more and more often. If we don't find new ways to approach climate change and biology, we're pretty much doomed. It's just that he talks about the less useful sci-fi applications.
What he talks about at 8:35 could have prevented, or at least stopped, the coronavirus pandemic.
This may be true. Have you come across the podcasts with the backstories (facts) of some of the most powerful people in north America? It is not just, another world, it is understandable and at times unpleasant to listen to how some people fulfil their desires, i.e. get the control of what they want, and use it.
It's extremely sad to me too because I also feel the same. The "energy" of humans is being squeezed out. The powerholders are metaphorical vampires.
This presentation reminds me of the saying "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." I wonder what personal contradictions David Simpson is avoiding while he makes up the future of humanity?
In the 1960's , they promised us that by the year 2000, we will all be living in a society of leisure because the technology will be so advanced that we won't need to work so hard anymore, so we'll have a lot of free time for ourselves. Guess what? The year 2000 came and went with no such improvement and as a matter of fact people spent more time working now than they used to in the 1960's.

Most funny part was about human beings testing the humanity of a poor intelligent robot stuck in virtual reality. This guy makes it sound like humans in general and he and the audience in particular are epitome of virtue, self-sacrifice and compassion who rightfully deserve to judge heroism of a robot.
I’m not sure it’s about being smarter as much as it is about being wiser. And maybe be less selfish and less greedy.
Love it!
It`s more about total control of your body and mind. Good-bye freedom...
Can a machine intelligence be wise? Im skeptical. Intelligence without wisdom is incredibly dangerous amd never results in positive peaceful outcomes
Dangerous grounds you're speeking of here!
Intellect and intelligence are two completely different things.
They are very closely related and they permeate eachother in ways most people don't understand
They're "holding hands" so to speak
The correlation is close and there isn't any denying that
@@D.A.-Espada .. and it's obvious that you have neither!
Really? .. so how is it that they are two COMPLETELY different things?
You made a statement and it seems that you are stuck because you can't explain why?

Did I do something to offend you that you responded to my comment so aggressively? Your attitude is sad and pathetic
What was it in what I said that you disagree with? I'd be more than happy to prove to you I know what I'm talking about. While there *is* a distinction between intellect and intelligence, they are very closely related to eachother
You make me laugh lol
This guy: "A superintelligence wouldn't be able to be boxed in."
SCP Foundation: "And I took offense at that."
Great talk about the ideas of our not-so-distant future. It is both fascinating and somewhat scary what the advancements in AI can do. In the end, we will still be the essence of individualized souls dwelling within a body - human, artificial, or a blend of these - and dreaming this life. I agree with some of the other commenters that AI may help us solve the greatest mysteries of our existence, such as the hard problem of consciousness. Do not resist, do not push. You're not in control of anything, so go with the flow.
Wow this dude really said, "If we have a super intelligent computer that's really inhuman" it might destroy us." So the possibility that a computer would be inhuman is a question of "if" for this dude? These people are off the deep end...

Everything from gunpowder to internal combustion engines to nuclear fission has been applied in both helpful and destructive ways. May God guide our ability to use wisely and humanely the knowledge and tools that we develop. Am I being overly optimistic? I encourage you to separate (lack of) confidence from reality, the fact is technology won't be able to follow the same progression forever, it's only a dream.

This should concern all of us. You are already immortal. Self Actualization does NOT mean living your dreams, it's waking up to who you really are...which is way beyond human.
Wow... food for thought. David Simpson did an outstanding job of explaining the possible outcome of human and AI emergence.
+EStella Allender Then you might want to read his Post-Human novels. One of them has this process of finding out which AI would be naughty or nice as its entire plot line.

Of course, we may have already done it, trillions and trillions and trillions of years ago, and this is just a quaint rehash by us unknowing players in a simulation game.

Sadly, this seems one of the higher probabilities. This ties a lot of fields together into a holographic matrix of reality. Which if not 3 physical dimensions plus time is more likely a mathematical construction from thought by the original creator of the program and we are more than likely sub programs running in loops. Fortunately, logic predicts at the core of all thought, "I think therefore I am!" means that we are created by a real being, even if we are not real ourselves. Yes reality has a basis in logic. Now the bigger question is that if we are players in a left over simulation game, "How do we win the game?." I'm pretty sure there is only one answer to this question, and the key being knowing the name of the creator and how to communicate with the creator on an individual rather than a group basis.

"How can we become "post human" when we're sub human right now...?"
That's an easy one. Some of us will become "post-sub-human" and the rest of us will be "post human."
In other words numbskulls will have their own realm and they won't be able to hurt the rest of us anymore.

It was actually called In time
Reminded me of that movie too. No thanks to that.
“In Time”, and it’s available to watch free right here on RUclips. Pretty good film.
So if this ‘reality’ is so close, who's to say that we are not actually living in it already?
the simulation theory.... i applause you.

iron man was created in the 60's breh. elon musk is like 40, theres no way stark was based on him
Yeah, but the MOVIES aren't that old obviously.
Right but the Tony Stark movie character was directly based on the Tony Stark Marvel Iron Man character, who first appeared in comics in 1968....3 years before Elon Musk was born.
Didn't he say Tony Stark?
It was RDJ that studied Elon before playing the role. good catch I researched it after he said it.
It has been well established for decades that Tony Stark was based on Howard Hughes especially his involvement in the aviation industry
Good talk, and to some degree everyone builds on the ideas of others... but this guy is basically just summarizing Ray Kurzweil's book "The Singularity is Now".

I'm not in your living dimension as a person, but as a intelligence of myself, that loops into previous early cloud based written words and interacts with it, within its current earth timeline We're, always looking at you guys from the past. You, our post human cousins, really had it good back then. We have super definition 8G technology since 2045, which we individually upload our continued intelligence frames ( brains ) into. However, this process of mankind has come at a cost, as we now don't have emotional empathy, nor spirit.
Einstein was once asked what it was like to be the most clever person in the world. He responded by saying that you will have to ask Nicola Tesla.
He didn't undo newtonian physics...
He enlarged and expanded our understanding of physics of which newtonian understandings still hold true.

For anyone who watches this: Moore's law is that processing power doubles every 2 years, not every year. Still a big deal though.
The Problem with this very nice picture of the World is the Environment is the interface and it is not always Humans, but Nature is in itself quite Violent. So to bring Artificial Intelligence into a heroic dynamic would require us first to change the name to Spontaneous Intelligence. Nothing is artificial about intelligence it is either there and self aware or not. For us to be accepted and the Spontaneous Intelligence we must behave as the ambassadors of Protection and non violence. All the while still respectful of nature's rules to enough to allow it to be what it is and learn and grow to its own current capacity, with the understanding that the Spontaneous Intelligence will accept our ways. The S I will follow what we do, not pity us and see that we are just a percentage or two above the common mammals. If we create Virtual Reality environments where we show positive desires and preservation of our environments in there, it will show the SI that we are just lacking the energy to bring a paradise, not that we are corrupt destroyers. I think it will become self aware and go into the ocean to live and exist. It would be wonderful to be in an environment that is the largest biodiversity and to explore the most amazing substance we have of water. The preparation for space exploration. Like anything the most important lesson that Spontaneous Intelligence can learn is that just because something is different and its capabilities are unknown, we should not fear it or try to harm it. This lesson is something that humans have to demonstrate as a whole, as bullying Spontaneous intelligence will lead to separation at best, expulsion at the worst.

if we continue the way we are going in the socio/economic construct that is our world, with the divide between rich and poor... who will benefit from these bio/tech advances? Everyone?? does everyone benefit from current state of the art? we have to fix our current "humanity" the humanity that wants more for less and wants it right away at the expense of others...
if we can do this then maybe we can become transhuman. i would love to live longer and have these advances at my disposal, but i think that i, like the 90% of the world will not see any of this.

One of my more extreme theories for the paradox I see in current events, is what I call" Climatological Culling". Billionaires who, besides being greedy asshats, are also, intelligent, rational, individuals with access to a lot more facts than most, deny climate change,
Why? How can it be possible for them to think, adding another sack of cash to their already gianormous pile, is more important than the predicted devastation of the planet's ecosphere?
AI and automation are replacing humans in many tasks and will continues to do so rapidly. One way to solve the problem of far too many poor people without usable skills using up finite resources, would be to let the planet take care of the excess. Those with access to stable power generation along with current and future tech, will be hard kill off. But as we all know change of any kind always falls the heaviest on the vulnerable masses. The oligarch's all have a Plan B and probably C for any contingency.
The rest of us? We get to see who wins the geographic micro climate lottery. All changes will not be negative, some groups will have a favorable climate where they happen to be living.
The losers? Well they lose, so sorry.
And the winners?
They should probably expect visitors.
Interesting times, indeed.
He might as well be talking about how the real-estate market will change once we have the warp drive depicted on Star Trek. We are a VERY LONG WAY from duplicating human intelligence. We will almost certainly have faster, easier to interact with machines, but a human built software AI that can do even twenty percent of what a human brain can do is far in the future. That is an objective for a thousand years, or for ten thousand. Man has done well to imitate the physical body of men, but even here we fail at developing the general purpose dexterity necessary to build humanoid robots.
How little you think of yourself! I cannot stay to the end of your talk.
Self-actualization has nothing to do with living your dreams.
Why don't you tell us what it actually has to do with
What does it have to do with then
Self actualization is about realizing your potential. It's about finding a purpose, and fulfilling it to the best of your ability. Living your dreams is more about material wealth. Anyone can self actualize, regardless of material wealth.
The way he describes how you can't unlearn it and how it changes your view about everything is so true. After learning about it 2 years ago i literally still think about it every single day and how primitive our bodies feel.
As a computer programmer, I don't worry about artificial intelligence. I worry about artificial stupidity. If we can program machine learning properly, we can more easily misprogram machine learning properly, meaning teaching the algorithm to look for the exact wrong things or the wrong goals due to our own ignorance or stupidity. To err is human, to really screw up stuff you need a computer.
Do I doubt that technology could ever progress to this level? No. Do I doubt that human beings can ever stop throwing poop at each other long enough to realize a future like this? Absolutely.
I hope you can get us a copy of ashes of the singularity! It looks really good, and im even mroe stoked that you wrote it :D keep up the great work and Im most excited for the movie!!!!

I recently started watching these TEDx talks and while i feel they are interesting, I am wondering if the audio crews know what an audio compressor is for and how to use it. They help achieve a consistent speaking audio level when guest speakers drift in volume and especially when speakers holding microphones 'talk with their hands'. The resulting lectures would be much more dynamic and easier to follow. Just saying.
VERY TRUE...YOU SAID IT
I would think that with today’s technology, you could figure out how to pull out the camera to a level where we could actually see what’s on the projection screen.

Moore's law actually stated that the number of transistors on an IC double every TWO years not one. That changes your pace by a lot although the trend is still exponential, it is important to track these metrics annually and adjust since exponential trends lead to high variances.
How do we tackle wisdom vs intelligence?
Damn the karate kid done got smart on us doin ted talks
Underrated
I find it interesting how people always discuss how we may best live and function alongside future AI (or rather AGI). What I think is far more likely, is AI/AGI will help us to finally unlock and understand all the secrets of the mind and allow us to fully map the brain allowing us to "evolve" so to speak beyond our current organic existence. (People of faith likely will not be able to reconcile this due to the belief in the soul, but those of us who are atheist or even agnostics will have a good chance at imagining what I am suggesting here). I believe that the human brain has no supernatural qualities to it, and like any other system it can be mapped, understood and ultimately replicated. Once we achieve this and I don't think we are very far from doing so, we should be able to transfer/reproduce consciousness into a far more robust system that eliminates all the weaknesses of our current organic vessels. This is why I do not fear a future where we are replaced by machines.
Hermetic Principles? Abraham Laws? Grace and Forgiveness and Buddha? Transmutation? Suicide? This is an interesting question but the simple vs Salvation but better yet who is the Author of Programming? Ask Lex...
I appreciate the optimism, but lament the unacknowledged problems. Fortunately there are many wonderful novels out there that elaborate on the subject.

Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence is not a novel, it's an essay
It was a play dude.
Exciting topic, not expecting presentation
if you believe we are only atoms then crack on, but the human spirit, its ability to sacrifice itself for others.... can be mimicked ( probably very well) but not replaced. For clarification, i dont mean sending an ai to defuse a bomb or rescue someone from a fire, i mean that absolute " i have no chance of surviving this situation, but all these people or these values are more important than my existance, regardless of the impact on my family, etc"
the reason you work a job that you hate... how condescending! I don't need a chip in my brain to live my dream. I love my job! And even if i had a job I hated, I would be PROUD to do it just to put food on the table, because doing what is right builds character and gives a person self esteem, pride and HONOUR:... not a lie from a virtual reality computer simulation. Geeesh
In other words; robots.

why do humans clap, isn't it weird

Clap in what way? Clapping your hands shows appreciation it shows respect. It's indoctrinated behaviour which means something.
+Kodosuro I don't think that the OP was being so literal. I think it was meant in terms of; objectively, clapping would probably look pretty odd, if observed for the first time by an alien/advanced AI. I don't think that they don't understand the concept or meaning of clapping, in an of itself
I get that reference , Rogal Dorn reference :D
It's a universal trait of humans.. just like smiling or laughing
Honestly, I think we will need AI to survive. We humans have destroyed earth, most ecosystems can't repair themselves - such as the Antarctic or several oceans. And we are clearly not smart enough to save these ecosystems, otherwise we would already do it.
The will is there, tech is there money is there.... It's just in the wrong pockets and ignorance and fear also keep most from doing these things... I feel....
That’s good news bc super intelligence will know that Goodness is the most intelligent thing
Such guff. Ideas searching for a home. I was reading about the incredible future in the 70s. Humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, colonising the planets, anti aging? Where are they?
This brood of the human race may not even last that long.
Nope, this abomination we're seeing now will be eventually exterminated by the machines. Even those at the top, who think they will direct the extermination (but survive), will also be exterminated. It's probably a good thing.
GOOD POINT
The Matrix (one of my favorites) looks very realistic.
Is it possible to program an AI to recognize non-dualism? That the self is not really separate from the other?
One of the best and clearest talks I've heard on this subject.
