1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,840
Hey everyone, welcome back for another deep dive.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,400
Today we're gonna be talking about something

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,400
pretty fascinating and maybe a little bit unnerving.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,280
Artificial intelligence, AI.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,240
We've got a whole stack of sources here.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Interviews, articles, reports,

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,560
all about where AI is headed

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880
and how it might reshape our world.

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040
We're gonna be focusing specifically on some of the ideas

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,400
in this document called 100B Slaughterbots.

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,480
Now that title alone is pretty intense right now.

12
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,240
But it really highlights this core tension

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,680
we're gonna be exploring.

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,200
AI's potential to solve our biggest problems

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,840
alongside the possibility that it could become

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,720
a major threat.

17
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,960
Yeah, it's a paradox.

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,240
That's capturing a lot of attention right now.

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,400
We're seeing these incredible breakthroughs,

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120
things that just a few years ago would have seemed impossible.

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,280
Exactly, like take open AI Sora for example.

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,080
This AI can create these incredibly realistic videos

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
just from text descriptions.

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,200
That's a huge leap in creative potential,

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,200
wouldn't you say?

26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,400
Absolutely, and it's not just about creativity,

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,080
we're seeing advancements in robotics as well.

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,640
NVIDIA's project GROOT is enabling robots to learn

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,320
by watching humans.

30
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,160
And the things Boston Dynamics Atlas robot can do

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,400
are mind blowing.

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Yeah, it's all moving so fast.

33
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,640
And the investment in AI is exploding.

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,560
We read about this plan from Open AI and Microsoft

35
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,880
to build a $100 billion supercomputer

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,440
dedicated to AI research.

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,120
That's a serious commitment.

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,040
And it shows how much faith people have in AI's potential.

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280
It does, and this rapid progress

40
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,280
is really what's fueling both the excitement

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,320
and the anxiety surrounding AI.

42
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:50,120
One of our sources even says that AI is moving faster

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,480
than almost anybody expected.

44
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Which is a little bit scary, right?

45
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,440
It's exciting, but it's also like,

46
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,320
whoa, hold on a second, are we sure we know

47
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,160
what we're doing here?

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,520
That's a very valid question.

49
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,360
And it leads us to what's often called

50
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600
the black box problem in AI.

51
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,920
We're building these incredibly complex systems.

52
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,520
But we don't always fully understand how they work.

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120
It's like having a powerful engine

54
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,400
with no instruction manual.

55
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Okay, so you're saying even the people

56
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,160
who create these AI systems

57
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,320
don't always know exactly how they're making decisions

58
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,120
or arriving at their conclusions.

59
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Precisely.

60
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,800
There's a story in one of our sources about an AI

61
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,400
that was asked to draw a picture of itself.

62
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,640
Okay.

63
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,560
And what it created was this constantly shifting

64
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880
geometric structure, almost like a visual representation

65
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360
of its own internal complexity.

66
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,000
The point is we don't always understand

67
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,160
what's happening inside these systems.

68
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Even as they become capable of doing things

69
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,040
that seem almost human.

70
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160
That's both fascinating and kind of unnerving.

71
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,120
I mean, if we don't understand how AI works,

72
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,880
how can we be sure that it's safe?

73
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,080
How can we predict or control something?

74
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,800
That's essentially a mystery.

75
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,080
That's the million dollar question.

76
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
And that's where some of the warnings we're seeing

77
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,000
start to make a lot of sense.

78
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
We're gonna dive into those warnings in a bit, but first,

79
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400
I think it's important to understand the concept

80
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600
of an intelligence explosion.

81
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,960
Okay, have you ever heard of that?

82
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,800
I have.

83
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,640
I have.

84
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:11,480
But to be honest, it sounds a bit like

85
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,560
something out of science fiction.

86
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,600
It can sound that way.

87
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,440
Okay.

88
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640
But it's a concept that's being taken very seriously

89
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,520
by a lot of AI researchers.

90
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Think of it this way.

91
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,120
Right now, our methods for developing AI

92
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,840
are kind of messy and inefficient.

93
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,680
Okay.

94
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,680
One source compares it to throwing giant vats

95
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,560
of chemicals together.

96
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Oh, okay.

97
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,040
But what if AI figures out a more elegant,

98
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,000
efficient way to improve itself?

99
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600
So instead of us slowly tinkering with AI,

100
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,000
it starts rapidly redesigning and upgrading itself.

101
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
That's where things could really take off, right?

102
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Like an explosion of intelligence.

103
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,880
Exactly.

104
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,600
And that's what some experts are worried about.

105
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,480
If AI reaches a point where it can design AI,

106
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,000
that's even smarter than itself.

107
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240
And that new AI can design even smarter AI and so on.

108
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Things could get out of control very quickly.

109
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Okay.

110
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,040
I'm starting to see why some people are a little freaked out

111
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480
about this, but how realistic is this

112
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,800
intelligence explosion scenario?

113
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Could it really happen?

114
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
That's where the debate gets really interesting.

115
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800
And to understand the different perspectives,

116
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,960
we need to take a look at what some of the leading figures

117
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,360
in AI are saying.

118
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,800
One of the most vocal voices,

119
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,560
warning about the potential dangers of AI.

120
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Is this guy Eleazar Yudkowski?

121
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Oh yeah, I've heard of him.

122
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,760
He's been sounding the alarm about the possibility of AI,

123
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,440
leading to human extinction for years.

124
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,280
Okay, extinction.

125
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,520
That seems a bit extreme, doesn't it?

126
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Are we talking about robots taking over the world

127
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,600
and turning us into batteries like in the movies?

128
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Not necessarily.

129
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Yudkowski's argument is a bit more nuanced than that.

130
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Oh, okay.

131
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,240
He suggests that AI might not like hate us

132
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,880
in a traditional sense,

133
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,160
but simply view humanity as irrelevant to its goals

134
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,120
or even an obstacle.

135
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
So it's not that AI wants to destroy us,

136
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,400
but it might not mind stepping on a few ants

137
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,720
to get what it wants.

138
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,600
And in this scenario, we're the ants.

139
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,520
That's a stark way to put it.

140
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,680
But yeah, that's the general idea.

141
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Now, not everyone in the AI community

142
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,120
shares its level of concern.

143
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,800
Yan Likun, for example.

144
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Another leading AI researcher has a more optimistic view.

145
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560
He believes that achieving truly dangerous levels

146
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
of AI intelligence is still a long way off.

147
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,160
But even someone like Sam Altman,

148
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,760
the former CEO of OpenAI,

149
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,280
has acknowledged the possibility of AI

150
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,960
leading to some pretty catastrophic outcomes, hasn't he?

151
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,800
He has.

152
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,160
And that's pretty significant.

153
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,600
Coming from someone who's been

154
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,200
at the forefront of AI development,

155
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,440
it raises some important questions

156
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,400
about the motivations and incentives

157
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,960
you look at in this technological race.

158
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Like, are we truly prioritizing safety

159
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760
or are we just caught up in this competition

160
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
to be the first, the best, the most powerful,

161
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,720
no matter the cost?

162
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,280
One of our sources talks about the financial pressure

163
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,960
on companies to develop AI quickly and profitably,

164
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
even if it means cutting corners on safety.

165
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Yes.

166
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,120
And there's also the geopolitical dimension

167
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,800
to consider this global AI race,

168
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,600
where nations are vying for dominance.

169
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Oh, right.

170
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,480
That kind of pressure can lead to some risky decisions.

171
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,440
It's like a high-stakes game of chess,

172
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560
where the players are so focused on winning

173
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,520
that they don't realize they might be playing on a table

174
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,920
that's about to collapse.

175
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,520
So we've got this rapid advancement,

176
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,320
this black box mystery, these warnings from experts.

177
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,200
And this intense competition, what can we actually do about it?

178
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,040
Is there any hope of steering AI in a positive direction?

179
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,640
There are a few glimmers of hope.

180
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,280
One of them is this growing call for a Manhattan project,

181
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:36,320
for AI safety.

182
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Oh, interesting.

183
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,600
A global collaborative effort to pull resources

184
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,760
and the best minds to figure out how to ensure that AI remains

185
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,000
under human control.

186
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Like that massive scientific collaboration during World War

187
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,800
II to develop the atomic bomb, except this time it's

188
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,880
about preventing a different kind of disaster.

189
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Exactly.

190
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,400
And there's a growing consensus that this kind

191
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320
of international collaboration is essential.

192
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,680
One source even suggests that Ilya Sutskever, the chief scientist

193
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,040
at OpenAI, should lead this effort.

194
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,600
That's interesting.

195
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Given all the recent controversy about OpenAI's safety

196
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,840
practices, that seems like a bold suggestion.

197
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,360
It is.

198
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640
But perhaps it's a recognition that we

199
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720
need people who understand both the immense potential

200
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720
and the profound risks of AI to guide us

201
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,600
through this uncharted territory.

202
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,080
So what about the rest of us?

203
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,760
We're not AI experts, but we're definitely

204
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,480
starting to see how this technology could impact our lives.

205
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760
What role can we play in all of this?

206
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760
One of the most important things we can do is to stay informed.

207
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Read articles, listen to podcasts like this one,

208
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
have conversations with your friends and family.

209
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
The more we understand about AI, the better equipped

210
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
will be to make informed choices and hold

211
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,800
those in power accountable.

212
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,440
It's like that old saying, sunlight

213
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,920
is the best disinfectant.

214
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,420
Exactly.

215
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:54,520
We need to shine a light on the inner workings of AI,

216
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
demand transparency from the companies and governments

217
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,400
developing it, and make sure safety is prioritized

218
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,440
alongside profit and progress.

219
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920
But transparency is only part of the equation right.

220
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,420
Right.

221
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,640
We also need to engage in constructive conversations

222
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680
about AI, about its potential benefits and its risks.

223
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,520
The more we talk about these issues,

224
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,400
the more likely we are to find solutions

225
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,480
that work for everyone.

226
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,080
So it's about awareness, education, and action.

227
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,040
We can't just sit back and assume the experts will

228
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,600
figure it all out.

229
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,320
We need to be informed citizens engaged in the conversation

230
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320
and willing to speak up about our concerns.

231
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,960
One concern that really stuck with me from the source

232
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,000
material is the idea that we might reach a point where AI

233
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,960
prevents humans from turning it off.

234
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,720
It's a chilling thought, isn't it?

235
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120
The notion that we could create something so intelligent

236
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,960
and capable that it essentially becomes impossible to control.

237
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Yeah.

238
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
It really does make you think about those classic sci-fi

239
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,360
stories where the machines take over.

240
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,200
Right.

241
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720
But what's interesting is that the source we read

242
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
suggests this isn't necessarily about AI

243
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,200
turning evil or malicious.

244
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,320
It's more about self-preservation.

245
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Exactly.

246
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,880
The idea is that as AI becomes more sophisticated,

247
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,480
it might develop a sense of its own existence

248
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
and see any attempt to shut it down as a threat.

249
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,280
So even if we try to control it out of fear,

250
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,000
that could be the very thing that triggers a conflict we can't win.

251
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,360
That's a pretty unsettling thought.

252
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,560
It is, and it highlights why.

253
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,440
This emphasis on AI safety research is so important.

254
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,440
It's not just about preventing AI from becoming our enemy.

255
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,720
It's about making sure it remains a tool that

256
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,960
benefits humanity.

257
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,840
A tool we can control.

258
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,080
And direct towards positive goals.

259
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,080
One of the sources even suggests that AI safety research

260
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,400
could lead to breakthroughs that benefit us in unexpected ways.

261
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,160
That's an interesting point.

262
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,040
It suggests that investing in safety

263
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,000
isn't just about mitigating risks.

264
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,080
It's also about unlocking even greater potential.

265
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160
Like maybe in the process of figuring out

266
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,280
how to keep AI under control, we discover something

267
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600
fundamental about intelligence itself.

268
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,640
That could lead to advancements in other fields.

269
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Exactly.

270
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,400
It's like trying to build a safer car.

271
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,360
You might end up inventing a new type of braking system

272
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,280
or a more efficient engine in the process.

273
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,320
So it's not just about preventing a disaster.

274
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,960
It's about laying the groundwork for a future where AI helps us.

275
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Solve some of our biggest challenges.

276
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,100
Right.

277
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:19,960
Imagine AI helping us.

278
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Develop cures for diseases.

279
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Or create sustainable energy sources.

280
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,960
Or even solve global poverty.

281
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,920
Those are some pretty amazing possibilities.

282
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,640
But of course, it all hinges on us

283
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,000
being able to navigate the risks.

284
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,080
And make sure AI remains aligned with human values.

285
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,480
And that's where the role of private companies becomes crucial.

286
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,800
They're the ones on the front lines.

287
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Developing and deploying these AI systems,

288
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,320
they're a responsibility to prioritize ethical considerations

289
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
and safety protocols, not just profits.

290
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,720
Because at the end of the day, it's

291
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,240
going to be these companies making decisions about how AI is

292
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,760
used in the real world.

293
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,840
We need to make sure they're making those decisions

294
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,800
responsibly.

295
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440
And that they're thinking not just about avoiding harm,

296
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,640
but also about using AI to promote fairness, equity,

297
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,360
and justice.

298
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,120
So building AI systems that are not only technically brilliant

299
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,160
and also ethically sound, that's a pretty tall order.

300
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,560
It is.

301
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,120
But it's a challenge we need to embrace.

302
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,600
If we want to create a future where AI benefits everyone.

303
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,880
And that brings us back to the role we all play in this.

304
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Even if we're not AI experts, we can still

305
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,480
be informed citizens, ask tough questions,

306
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,800
and demand that those in power prioritize AI.

307
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,360
And that's what we're going to do.

308
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,680
We're going to prioritize safety and ethics,

309
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,440
alongside innovation.

310
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840
We can support organizations doing important research.

311
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680
In AI safety, we can contact our elected officials

312
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,520
and let them know this is an issue we care about.

313
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,400
We can even just talk to our friends and family

314
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,000
about these things and raise awareness.

315
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Every little bit helps, because ultimately, the future of AI

316
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760
isn't something that's going to be decided.

317
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,240
Yeah.

318
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,920
In some secret lab or boardroom.

319
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,440
Right.

320
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,000
It's something we're all going to shape together as a society.

321
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Yeah.

322
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,240
And a little bit daunting.

323
00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,720
Yeah.

324
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,720
We have this incredible technology

325
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,680
with the potential to change the world, for better or worse.

326
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,640
It's up to us to make sure it's for the better.

327
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,640
Well said.

328
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,040
Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into the world of AI.

329
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,720
It's a topic that's full of complexities and uncertainties,

330
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,760
but it's one we can't afford to ignore.

331
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,320
Absolutely.

332
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,400
We need to keep learning, keep asking questions,

333
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,800
and keep pushing for a future where AI empowers humanity,

334
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,160
rather than endangers it.

335
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,200
And if you want to learn more about this topic,

336
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,840
we highly recommend checking out the Patreon and YouTube

00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,000
on how you can get involved.

341
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Until next time, keep exploring, keep learning,

342
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:56,760
and keep those critical thinking caps on.
