208 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280 How do we create opportunities in this new world? 209 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,520 It's a lot to think about. 210 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,320 And it's not just, you know, the economic side of things. 211 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,840 Moustak also brought up this idea of, like, an existential crisis AI could bring about. 212 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,800 A crisis of meaning, you know? 213 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,800 It's true. 214 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,960 AI is forcing us to ask this age-old question. 215 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600 What does it mean to be human? 216 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,260 Especially when machines are getting better than us at so many things. 217 00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:13,480 It's like those sci-fi movies. 218 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Right. 219 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,760 Where the robots become self-aware and then, like, humans are questioning their place in 220 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,760 the universe. 221 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,760 I know, right?

226 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,840 Imagine an AI companion that knows you better than you know yourself, your thoughts, fears, 227 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,840 desires. 228 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200 That is both, like, fascinating and scary. 229 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Right. 230 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Like, what happens to us as individuals when we have these AI extensions of ourselves? 231 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,760 And are we okay with an algorithm having all that information about us? 232 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,760 Right. 233 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,760 The control, that's another thing. 234 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,280 It's complicated. 235 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,000 And it gets even more complicated when we think about AI manipulating our emotions, right? 236 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160 We talked about frequency bias. 237 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:03,640 But Moskak also points out that companies like Facebook already use AI to, like, personalize 238 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,200 content, maybe even influence how we feel. 239 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,200 They do that now. 240 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,200 It's going to get worse. 241 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,160 If we're seeing this with, like, basic AI, just think what it'll be like as it advances. 242 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,800 Imagine being flooded with propaganda tailored to each person. 243 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,800 That's terrifying. 244 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,800 It is, yeah. 245 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,880 This is why we need ethical guidelines, you know, regulations. 246 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,240 We need to be careful about who controls this technology and how they use it. 247 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,440 But like we've been saying, AI is moving so fast. 248 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,440 It is. 249 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Experts are surprised by how quickly it's developing. 250 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,960 It almost feels like we created something that's, you know, getting out of control. 251 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,960 I know what you mean. 252 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,640 It's a bit of a scary thought. 253 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,680 But this is exactly why we need to have these conversations now. 254 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:42,680 Yeah. 255 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:47,720 While we can still kind of steer the ship, we need to ask ourselves, what kind of future 256 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,560 do we want with AI? 257 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,000 And more importantly, what future do we not want? 258 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,640 This brings us back to that AI alignment issue. 259 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,360 You mentioned that MISOC doesn't think it's possible to perfectly align super intelligent 260 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,320 AI, so where does that leave us? 261 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,640 Well, he thinks a more, like, decentralized, open source approach is better. 262 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,400 He thinks if more people have access to AI and there's more transparency and different 263 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,440 points of view are involved, it'll lead to development that's more responsible and 264 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,440 beneficial. 265 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,080 So instead of just a few companies controlling AI, it's more, like, democratic. 266 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,080 Exactly. 267 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,280 A more collaborative approach. 268 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040 If we have more people contributing, we should get more balanced outcomes. 269 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,040 Makes sense. 270 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,160 And it's not just about different perspectives, right? 271 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,680 It's also about giving people, individuals, communities the power to shape AI. 272 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:35,680 Exactly. 273 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,520 Instead of just a few people dictating how it goes. 274 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,520 I like that. 275 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,520 It sounds great in theory, but, like, how do we actually manage that? 276 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,040 It's a good question. 277 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Especially with all the risks, you know? 278 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 How do we deal with misinformation? 279 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320 How do we make sure AI isn't used for bad things? 280 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,160 These are important questions and there's no easy answer. 281 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520 But most docs suggests content authentication standards. 282 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,520 Okay. 283 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Maybe even using blockchain to track the source of information and make sure it's real. 284 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 This could help with deep fakes and all that. 285 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,160 That's a good start. 286 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,920 But even if we figure out the technology, there's still the human element. 287 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,920 You're right. 288 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,000 How do we teach people to think critically, to be media literate, when so much information 289 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,560 is made and changed by AI? 290 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:21,800 That's where education and awareness come in. 291 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,760 We have to equip people with the skills to evaluate information, question sources, and 292 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,320 not just accept things that face value. 293 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,480 It's about understanding how AI works and the impact that has on our lives. 294 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,120 So it's both, right?
