1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,320
All right, so are you ready to dive into this AI stuff?

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,120
There's some crazy predictions in here.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,280
Yeah, it's exciting, isn't it?

4
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Stuff we have to go through today.

5
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,200
I know, I've got all the stuff you sent me,

6
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,160
the video transcript, your notes.

7
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,840
Did you get a chance to skim Altman's blog post too?

8
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,840
Oh yeah, I did, the one from a couple weeks ago, right?

9
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,920
Right, I wanted to get your take on all of this,

10
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,040
you know, with your background.

11
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,960
Oh yeah, well, my background's a little different,

12
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,880
but I think I can keep up.

13
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,720
I think so too, yeah.

14
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,000
Okay, so it seems like the big theme here

15
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,840
is like this intelligence explosion, right,

16
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,360
where AI just kind of takes off.

17
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Right, and it's not just like,

18
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,080
oh, AI is getting a little bit better.

19
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,240
It's like, whoa, it's a million times better.

20
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,160
Like it's gonna blow past us, right?

21
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,120
And this paper, the, what was it called?

22
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,360
The situational awareness one.

23
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,680
Yeah, yeah, that one, it kind of lays out

24
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,520
how this could actually happen.

25
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,040
It's really fascinating, it talks about how,

26
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,040
you know, right now, AI is learning for us, right,

27
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,240
from the data we feed it.

28
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Yeah.

29
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,040
But what happens when it starts learning from itself.

30
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Right.

31
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,040
And generated its own knowledge,

32
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,280
like making its own discoveries.

33
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Yeah, like a snowball effect,

34
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,320
and it just keeps getting smarter and smarter.

35
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,160
Exactly.

36
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,600
And according to Altman,

37
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,560
we might be closer to that than we think.

38
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760
Yeah, he said something about like two orders of magnitude.

39
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Yeah, so like, you know, GPT-3 to GPT-4,

40
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,120
that was a huge leap, right?

41
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:12,960
Oh yeah.

42
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,360
Like a hundred times more powerful

43
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,920
as one order of magnitude.

44
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,960
Sink two more leaps like that and boom.

45
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:18,800
Wow.

46
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,320
And that could happen, what, in a few years?

47
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:22,440
Potentially, yeah.

48
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280
I mean, the pace of development is incredible.

49
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,320
I know, it's kind of scary, right?

50
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,800
Like it's exciting, but also,

51
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,320
whoa, are we ready for this?

52
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,440
I think that's the big question.

53
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Are we ready for the intelligence explosion?

54
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Yeah.

55
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,400
And how do we make sure it's a good thing, you know,

56
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,720
that it benefited humanity?

57
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Right, that it doesn't, you know,

58
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,640
decide we're not useful anymore.

59
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Exactly, it's a big responsibility,

60
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,280
figuring all this out.

61
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Okay, so I gotta ask you about this AI coder thing,

62
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,960
because that blew my mind.

63
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,200
Like by the end of the year,

64
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600
an AI could be the best programmer in the world.

65
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Yeah, that's what Altman is predicting.

66
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,920
It's pretty wild, right?

67
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,040
I mean, I can barely write a line of code,

68
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,120
but the AI will be like churning out perfect code in seconds.

69
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,160
It's gonna change everything.

70
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,560
Think about AlphaGo, remember that?

71
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Yeah, vaguely.

72
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760
It learned to play go by playing against itself, right?

73
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,920
Oh yeah, and it ended up beating the world champion.

74
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,480
Right, and they're applying a similar approach to coding.

75
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Let the AI learn by doing, by creating and testing code.

76
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,520
So it's not just like copying existing code,

77
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,160
it's actually coming up with new solutions.

78
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,320
Exactly, and the results are already amazing.

79
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880
OpenAI has an AI that's already in the top 50

80
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,160
among competitive programmers worldwide.

81
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,080
Top 50, that's insane.

82
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760
So okay, here's the big question.

83
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,680
What happens to all the human programmers?

84
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,960
That's what everyone wants to know, right?

85
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Are the robots coming for our jobs?

86
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,960
Yeah, seriously.

87
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,920
I don't think it's that simple.

88
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,800
I think it's more about augmentation, not replacement.

89
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,480
So like working with the AI?

90
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Exactly, imagine having an AI coding assistant

91
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,240
that's like the best programmer in the world,

92
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,760
right at your fingertips.

93
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,360
So instead of spending hours trying to debug something,

94
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,400
I could just like tell the AI what I want

95
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,320
and it would just do it.

96
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,160
That's the idea.

97
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,000
And it could free up human programmers

98
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,480
to focus on the more creative aspects,

99
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,600
the big picture stuff.

100
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Okay, but still, a lot of people

101
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,720
are gonna be worried about their jobs, right?

102
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,280
For sure, and it's a valid concern.

103
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,120
We need to figure out how to transition

104
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840
into this new world of work.

105
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,800
How to prepare people for the jobs of the future.

106
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Right, because it's happening fast.

107
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,800
Like even faster than we thought.

108
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Yeah, Moore's law is still relevant,

109
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,280
but AI is advancing even faster than that.

110
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Moore's law, that's the one about computers

111
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,000
getting twice as powerful every, what,

112
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
two years or something?

113
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,360
Every 18 months, yeah.

114
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,120
But AI is leveraging something even more powerful,

115
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,240
test time compute.

116
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Test time compute, what is that?

117
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,800
Sounds kind of intimidating.

118
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760
It's basically the idea that AI can keep getting better

119
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,320
even while it's working on a problem.

120
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560
It's like it has time to think.

121
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,920
So instead of just giving the first answer it comes up with,

122
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600
it can analyze different options, optimize its approach.

123
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Exactly, it's like having a super smart assistant

124
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
that's constantly learning and improving.

125
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,400
So it's not just about the initial training data,

126
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,080
it's about how much thinking the AI can do in real time.

127
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Right, and this is giving rise to what they call

128
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,120
thinking models AI systems

129
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
that are constantly learning and adapting.

130
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Okay, so how much faster is this approach

131
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960
compared to traditional methods?

132
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,280
Altman suggests the cost of using AI

133
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160
at any given intelligence level

134
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,400
is falling 10 fold every 12 months.

135
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Wow, that's crazy.

136
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,080
No wonder this feels like such a big deal.

137
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600
It's a fundamental shift in how we solve problems,

138
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,160
create value, how we interact with the world.

139
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Yeah, like everything is changing around us

140
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,920
and it's all happening so fast.

141
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,160
And that's why it's so important

142
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,560
to understand the potential impacts, both good and bad.

143
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,280
We need to be prepared for what's coming.

144
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,960
Okay, well let's talk about some of those impacts.

145
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400
We've touched on the AI coders

146
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,320
and this intelligence explosion,

147
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,760
but how is all of this going to affect the future of work?

148
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Like for everyday people?

149
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,160
It's kind of crazy when you think about

150
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,640
how what seemed impossible, like just a few years ago,

151
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,600
is now like totally normal.

152
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,120
Yeah, what do you mean, like flying cars?

153
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,680
I'm still waiting on those.

154
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,760
No, not quite.

155
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,640
But like imagine explaining to someone 30 years ago

156
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,600
that you could have like a tiny computer.

157
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,440
In your pocket.

158
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Yeah, they could access basically

159
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,520
all the information in the world.

160
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Oh yeah, yeah.

161
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,720
They'd probably think you were crazy,

162
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,280
like from Star Trek or something.

163
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,440
Right, but today we're like,

164
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,000
oh yeah, my phone could do that, no big deal.

165
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,880
And my phone probably has more power

166
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,680
than those old computers they used to like

167
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,880
land on the moon, right?

168
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Totally, and Altman talks about this in his blog post too.

169
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,920
He uses the example of transistors.

170
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Transistors, those little things inside computers.

171
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Yeah, they're like the building blocks

172
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,320
of all modern electronics, phones, computers, even cars.

173
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,960
But nobody really thinks about them, right?

174
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,040
They're just kind of there doing their thing.

175
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Exactly, they're essential but invisible.

176
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,920
And Altman thinks AI could be the same way.

177
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,280
Like just woven into our lives

178
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:35,880
even if we don't always realize it.

179
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Right, but even more transformative.

180
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Because AI isn't just about making things faster or smaller,

181
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,520
it's about changing how we solve problems.

182
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,360
How so?

183
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,280
Well, think about it.

184
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:50,520
What if AI could help us design like totally new materials

185
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,040
or optimize our cities to be more efficient?

186
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Or even like personalize education for every student.

187
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,480
Exactly, AI could revolutionize every aspect of our lives

188
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480
and create incredible economic growth in the process.

189
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,040
Because it's not just doing things better,

190
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,080
it's doing things we couldn't even imagine before.

191
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,920
Right, exactly.

192
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
It's like opening up a whole new world of possibilities.

193
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Okay, so that's the big picture.

194
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,680
But what about right now?

195
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920
What are some concrete examples of AI making a difference?

196
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,720
Well, one area where we're already seeing

197
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,920
huge progress is in healthcare.

198
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Really?

199
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,760
Like how?

200
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,040
For example, AI is being used to analyze medical images

201
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,720
like X-rays and MRIs.

202
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280
So like instead of a doctor having to look at them.

203
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:30,600
The doctor still looks at them,

204
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,040
but the AI can help them detect things they might miss.

205
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,280
Like a second set of eyes but way more powerful.

206
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,840
Exactly, it can help diagnose diseases like cancer earlier

207
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,880
and more accurately.

208
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Wow, that's amazing.

209
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,600
So it's not replacing doctors,

210
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,600
it's helping them do their jobs better.

211
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Right.

212
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160
And it can also help personalize treatment plans

213
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,280
based on a patient's individual needs and genetic makeup.

214
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,360
So like medicine tailored just for you, that's incredible.

215
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,360
It's really exciting stuff.

216
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,720
And that's just one example.

217
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200
AI is also being used to tackle climate change.

218
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,560
Climate change, how can AI help with that?

219
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Well, for one thing,

220
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,280
it can help us analyze the huge amounts of data

221
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:06,280
we have about the climate.

222
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,080
So we can understand what's happening better.

223
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,680
Right, and make more accurate predictions about the future.

224
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,480
And then hopefully come up with better solutions.

225
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Exactly.

226
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,720
AI can also help us optimize energy consumption,

227
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640
design more sustainable cities,

228
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,080
even develop new technologies to capture carbon

229
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:21,960
from the atmosphere.

230
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,720
Okay, so it's not all doom and gloom.

231
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080
AI can actually help us solve some of the biggest problems

232
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,920
we're facing.

233
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,760
Absolutely.

234
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,200
But of course there are also risks and challenges

235
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,200
we need to be aware of.

236
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Yeah, let's talk about those.

237
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,760
We've all heard about the potential for job losses.

238
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Right, that's a big one.

239
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,880
As AI becomes more capable,

240
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920
it's likely to automate many jobs

241
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,560
that are currently done by humans.

242
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Especially jobs that are like repetitive or predictable, right?

243
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Exactly.

244
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280
And this could lead to significant unemployment,

245
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,120
especially in fields like manufacturing and transportation.

246
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Because if a company can use AI

247
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,040
to do the work faster and cheaper,

248
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,160
why would they keep paying human workers?

249
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,280
It's a valid concern.

250
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,480
And it's something we need to start thinking about now.

251
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,040
How do we prepare people for the jobs of the future?

252
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720
How do we ensure that everyone benefits from AI,

253
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,920
not just a select few?

254
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,280
Yeah, because otherwise we could end up with a society

255
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
where the gap between the rich and the poor

256
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,400
just keeps getting wider.

257
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,360
Right, it's not just about the technology itself,

258
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,760
it's about how we use it.

259
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,800
We need to make sure that AI is used

260
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880
to create a more equitable and just society.

261
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Okay, so job displacement is one big concern.

262
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800
What other risks should we be thinking about?

263
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Well, there's also the potential for AI to be misused,

264
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,680
you know, for malicious purposes.

265
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Like what?

266
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,480
Well, for example, AI could be used

267
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520
to develop autonomous weapons systems.

268
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,880
Weapons that can think for themselves.

269
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,160
That's kind of terrifying.

270
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,880
It's definitely a cause for concern.

271
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,400
And it raises a lot of ethical questions

272
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720
about how we develop and deploy AI.

273
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,800
We need to make sure that we have safeguards in place.

274
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Okay, so we've got killer robots to worry about.

275
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,200
What else?

276
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Well, there's also the question of AI bias.

277
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,800
You know, AI algorithms are trained on data, right?

278
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Yeah.

279
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080
And if that data is biased, the AI will be biased too.

280
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320
So like, if the AI is trained on data

281
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,000
that's mostly from men, it might not be very good

282
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,200
at understanding or responding to women.

283
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,560
Exactly, and that could lead to all sorts of problems

284
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,920
from discrimination and hiring to unfair treatment

285
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,920
by law enforcement.

286
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,080
So we need to make sure that the data we use to train AI

287
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040
is diverse and representative of the real world.

288
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160
Right, and we need to be constantly monitoring AI systems

289
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
for bias and making adjustments as needed.

290
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,160
Okay, all this is a lot to take in.

291
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,200
It seems like there's a lot of potential for good,

292
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,440
but also a lot of potential for harm.

293
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,240
It's a double-edged sword, for sure.

294
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,880
But I think it's important to remember that AI is a tool.

295
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200
And like any tool, it can be used for good

296
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,040
or for evil.

297
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,040
It all depends on who's wielding it, right?

298
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Exactly, and that's why it's so important

299
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
to have these conversations to raise awareness

300
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,200
about the potential risks and benefits of AI

301
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,920
so that we can make informed decisions

302
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760
about how we develop and deploy this technology.

303
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,320
We've all seen those sci-fi movies

304
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,160
where the AI becomes super intelligent

305
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,360
and takes over the world.

306
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,280
Is that something we should actually be worried about?

307
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Well, it's important to distinguish

308
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,160
between science fiction and reality.

309
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,800
While those scenarios might make for good movies,

310
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,080
most experts agree that we're still a long way

311
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,760
from creating AI that can fully think for itself.

312
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
So we're not gonna have a terminator situation

313
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,760
anytime soon?

314
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,960
Probably not.

315
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,920
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful.

316
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Even if AI doesn't become evil in the traditional sense,

317
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,720
there's still the potential for unintended consequences.

318
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Like it could just make a mistake

319
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,560
that has huge repercussions.

320
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,080
Exactly, or it could be used by humans

321
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640
for purposes that we didn't anticipate or intend.

322
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,400
So it's not just about the AI itself,

323
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,240
it's about the humans who are creating it and using it.

324
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,320
Right, we need to be thinking

325
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,480
about the ethical implications of AI

326
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,840
from the very beginning.

327
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
And we need to make sure that we're developing AI

328
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,160
in a way that aligns with our values as a society.

329
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,320
All this is getting pretty deep.

330
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all this stuff.

331
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,200
I know, it's a lot.

332
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
But I think it's important to have these conversations.

333
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,040
The more we talk about AI,

334
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,760
the better equipped we'll be to make informed decisions

335
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,680
about its future.

336
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,360
And to make sure that it's used for good, not for harm.

337
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Exactly, it's up to us to shape the future of AI.

338
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,960
And to make sure that it benefits all of humanity.

339
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,000
Okay, so we've talked about the practical stuff,

340
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040
the jobs, the risks, the ethics.

341
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,680
But now I wanna get into the really big questions.

342
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:11,960
Oh yeah, like what?

343
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Like what does all this mean for humanity?

344
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Are we on the verge of creating something

345
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,320
that's actually smarter than us?

346
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,720
And if so, what does that even mean?

347
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,080
It really makes you think, doesn't it?

348
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Like what does it even mean to be intelligent?

349
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Right, I mean, we've always thought of intelligence

350
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,400
as like a human thing.

351
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Yeah, like we're the smartest ones around.

352
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Exactly, but AI is challenging that assumption.

353
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Because it can do things that we can't, right?

354
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Like process information, add incredible speeds,

355
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,280
make complex calculations.

356
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Right, but is that all there is to intelligence?

357
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,440
Like can a computer really be intelligent

358
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,800
if it doesn't have emotions or consciousness?

359
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,320
Yeah, that's the big question, isn't it?

360
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Like what's the difference between

361
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,200
a really advanced algorithm and actual like awareness?

362
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,440
It's a question philosophers have been debating for centuries.

363
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,520
And that was becoming a practical question too.

364
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,440
Because AI is getting so good

365
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,360
at mimicking human behavior.

366
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,680
Like we've talked about AI writing poetry

367
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:05,920
and composing music.

368
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Yeah, and creating art,

369
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,560
even having conversations that seem like totally natural.

370
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,080
So if it looks like it's thinking

371
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,200
and acts like it's thinking,

372
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,880
does that mean it actually is thinking?

373
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,560
That's the million dollar question.

374
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,000
And I don't think anyone has the N of yet.

375
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,960
It's kind of freaky, right?

376
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,880
Like we're creating something

377
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,360
that we don't even fully understand.

378
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,320
It's definitely a bit unsettling,

379
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,000
but it's also incredibly exciting.

380
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Exciting?

381
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,200
How so?

382
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Well, think about it.

383
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,320
We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

384
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,680
We're exploring the nature of intelligence itself.

385
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,080
Who knows what we might discover?

386
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Okay, I see your point.

387
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,440
It's like the ultimate scientific frontier.

388
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Exactly.

389
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280
And it's not just about science.

390
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,200
It's about what it means to be human.

391
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,440
Because if we create something that's smarter than us,

392
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,920
does that make us less human?

393
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,760
I don't think so.

394
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,320
I think it actually makes us more human.

395
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,840
More human, how?

396
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Because it forces us to confront our own limitations,

397
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560
to ask the big questions about what makes us unique.

398
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,080
Like what is it that makes us human

399
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,200
if a machine can do everything we can do but better?

400
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Right.

401
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,280
And I think the answer lies in our capacity for empathy,

402
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,120
for compassion, for love.

403
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,160
Those are the things that make us truly human.

404
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,080
The things that AI can't replicate

405
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,400
no matter how smart it gets.

406
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Exactly.

407
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,640
And I think that's a good thing.

408
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Because it means that we'll always have something to offer.

409
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Even in a world where AI is everywhere,

410
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,480
we'll still be needed.

411
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,320
Absolutely.

412
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,840
And I think the relationship between humans and AI

413
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840
will be one of partnership, not competition.

414
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,080
Like working together to solve problems,

415
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,120
create new things.

416
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,320
Right, using AI to enhance our abilities, not replace us.

417
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,440
That's a much more hopeful vision than the whole robots

418
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,400
taking over the world scenario.

419
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Yeah, I think so too.

420
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,520
But it's up to us to make that vision a reality.

421
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,960
By making sure AI is developed ethically, responsibly.

422
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Exactly.

423
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,400
We need to be thoughtful, cautious, but also optimistic.

424
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,760
It's a lot to balance, right?

425
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,160
But I think we're up to the challenge.

426
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,920
I think so too.

427
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,320
I mean, we've faced big challenges before.

428
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,600
And we've always found a way to adapt and overcome.

429
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,160
It's kind of like the next chapter in the human story.

430
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:03,800
Exactly.

431
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,280
And who knows what amazing things we'll create together.

432
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,360
Well, this has been an incredible deep dive.

433
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,040
We've covered so much ground from the technical stuff

434
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,360
to the philosophical stuff.

435
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,440
And everything in between.

436
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,240
It's been mind blowing, to be honest,

437
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
and a little bit scary at times.

438
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,040
I know what you mean.

439
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,040
It's a lot to process.

440
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,440
But I think it's important that we have these conversations,

441
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,560
that we start thinking about these issues now.

442
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,400
Because the future is coming, whether we're ready for it or not.

443
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,840
And it's up to us to shape it.

444
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,480
Exactly.

445
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000
We have the power to create the future we want.

446
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,400
A future where AI is used for good,

447
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,520
to make the world a better place for everyone.

448
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,360
That's the goal, right?

449
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,200
To use our intelligence, both human and artificial,

450
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,560
to build a brighter future.

451
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,960
And on that note, I think it's time to wrap up this deep dive.

452
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey

453
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,080
into the world of AI.

454
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,440
We hope you learned something that you're inspired

455
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,240
and maybe even a little bit terrified.

456
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Ha, ha, ha.

457
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Yeah, the healthy dose of fear is always good.

458
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Keeps us on our toes.

459
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
But seriously, this is just the beginning of the conversation.

460
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,440
And we encourage you to keep exploring, keep learning,

461
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,200
and keep asking the big questions.

462
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,680
Because the future of AI is the future of humanity.

463
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:26,440
And it's up to all of us to shape it.
