Summary Comments : [TED] Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

Gr**************:

Harris is indeed getting a little ahead of himself from what AI is actually capable of now. True that it's fun to imagine. On a practical front, I've been musing over this problem & haven't seen it anywhere yet (I try to limit my info intake & joining of groups to remain productive) so thought I'd just put this out here:

The reality of AI's capabilities is still a far way off - Look at how people are leaving facebook in droves - because their algorithm is seriously malfunctioning - it does not have the ability to predict what new things people might like to see, which is a component of satisfaction & growth.

The problem with current ways of AI development is that it isn't actually trained on realistic data in a 'skin-in the game' way. If you understand how AI is developed (through painstaking design), you come to realize that we could not have been created through intelligent design (though I cannot discount the possibility that the 'game rules' or 'building blocks' allowing for evolution may have been). What we need to do with AI is to establish eusocial constraints much like we humans were optimised - say we spring a variety of AI system prototypes, and put them through simulated problems without context. Each time they make an anti-social decision, their variant is eliminated.

But this doesn't solve the erroneous assumptions we had with AI in the first place:
1. The purpose of automations like AI was originally to replace the jobs most humans find boring and will not want to do... which is actually an elitist assumption not yet well tested. (See point 2. below)
2. We humans need purpose to live. Among the variety that gives us satisfaction, at all levels of intelligence: the need to create, the need to work with our hands, the need to be needed. These are the ingredients that stave off the desire to self-destruct.

we can live with AI within these limits. I personally don't think we need it - at this rate it is not going to scale fast enough for us to solve the pressing problems we have today, which we need our best minds to be focused on - and to do so in concert with a continual affection for humanity.

Remember - you, at any level of intelligence, are now still more creative than AI. Think with love. Think of what we as humans all need to be satisfied. And think how you can act in constant consideration of that. If you need negative motivation, Janelle Shane's TED talk on AI is a nice grounding of where AI currently is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhCzX0iLnOc . Laugh at AI while we can.

Playtime Comments : [TED] Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

Zi****************:

2:17 they laughed at the Justin Beiber joke just like the Democrats laughed at the thought of Trump becoming President. BUT you're safe Justin was born in Canada, lol

j:

12:14 hits a little harder after watching the Neuralink presentation a few days ago.... Sci-fi technology is already here and will continue to grow at a bewildering speed.

We are already cyborgs in some sense. We carry super computers with us at all times although the bandwidth is extremely bottlenecked because we interface with the device primarily with our hands. Once a device like Neuralink fixes the bandwidth issue, we will quite literally have the option to become a superhuman cyborg.

ed***********:

8:25 Good place to jump in if you already know the basics.

Ch***********:

04:12 Lower Right Quadrant. fine specimen.

Ph*****:

4:08 (lower right): when u left from home for a beach party but ended up at a Ted talk

bi*********:

14:27 worth of words. All he needed to say was "Terminator will happen" then drop the mike...

Ra********:

What if the girl at 4:08 was planted by machines to distract us from the ted talk????

Na***************:

2:10

Si****:

7:05 david icke

Fr**********:

4:08
Lady on the bottom righ - WOW. What a dress to wear to a TED talk.

Pr****************:

7:31 "This machine (A.I.) should think about a million times faster that the minds that built it, ... How can we even understand let alone constrain a mind making this sort of progress!" - Sam Harris

iv**********:

100 years from now, AI will look back on this video and say, "Yep, Sam was right."

Wi********:

"Powered by sunlight"... good, they won't live in london

Jo**:

“What could stop us? A global pandemic?”

Pa*******:

Sam Harris just has such a great way of vocalizing on this subject; great video!

Ax**:

Joe Rogan should invite Elon musk and Sam Harris together to talk about AI, Neuralink & AI security

Mi******:

Sam Harris doesn't pass the Turing Test. No human can be so calm, concise, and rational. He'd definitely part AI.

Le**********************:

Ted Talk: “can we build an AI without losing control over it?”
“No.”
credits

An*********:

Im not overstating it when I claim that this will probably go down as one of the most important talks in human history.

To*************:

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."—Isaac Asimov. Baa.

Bo*********:

One of the best talks! Sam Harris is awesome. Hopefully, we’ll get it right soon.

Jo***:

The super AI we created found a way to make a time machine to go back in time and pose itself as Sam Harris, to warn us that we must do this right.

Ci******:

questions i gained from watching this ted talk "did ants invent humans?"

Sa******:

Can we just take a moment to appreciate those illustrations ! Amazing

Pi**:

If(this.IsSelfaware):
Stop()

Th********:

I could listen to Sam forever.

Je**********:

There is no reason to presume that such a singularity has not already happened. Perhaps we live in a suburban ant hill in some alien's backyard.

Ro*********:

When Sam put "YOU" next to him on the intelligence spectrum?...

He was being generous.

Ha*************:

4:08
This guy up in here talking about containing AI and we can't even contain the woman in the light blue dress.

Ta***********:

I was just watching a film called “automata” the film was about robots serving humans in the future. In the film film this woman said about the length of time it took humanity to advance from when we came down from the trees. Which was seven million years. But AI to advance if it could think for itself, a couple of weeks.
Seemed funny watching the video then seeing the film.

Gi***********:

We need to figure out AA, Artificial Anxiety, and then AB Artificial Benzodiazepine, then we got them hooked.

Ti*********:

“You made live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.” - Nicholas Tesla

Ki************:

Can't wait till my if-else statements become self-aware...

Da*********:

Just what I needed, something else to worry about.

Tr************:

"This machine would be able to wage war"
I have no mouth and i must scream flashbacks
(of course i dont think it will necessarily turn out like that game)

Ch*************:

hey this is going to happen, just look at the creators of robots, when the robots say something weird or suspicious the creators laugh timidlly, this is creepy and obviously as a concious human you can see this cant end well

Za************:

Google’s AI Deepmind (aka AlphaZero) was programmed to learn the basic rules of Chess. It then spent 4 hours playing against itself to get better. After 4 hours it was pitted against the best known Chess engine in the world Stockfish. Stockfish is a software engine (not an AI) which harnesses computer power to do deep calculation analysis to work out the best move, as well as being loaded with 1000s upon 1000s of end game studies devised by humans. It’s essentially the culmination of hundreds of years of human chess knowledge with the calculation ability of a computer....no human can beat Stockfish, not even the best players on the planet, it can calculate moves far far deeper than humans can. Stockfish crushes human opponents now. Google’s AI Alphazero learned chess in just 4 hours, with nothing more programmed into it than the basic rules (e.g. What moves are allowed) and then wiped the floor with Stockfish.

wi*********:

Does anyone remember one of the final scenes in the motin picture 2010. It is where the computer HAL 9000 is talking to Dr. Chandra, basically asking why the DISCOVERY and the ALEXEI LEONOV are leaving early, and in essence what will happen to him. Chandra tells him it is for the sake of saving the human crew. Then HAL resumes the countdown after saying he is ready to complete the mission. Until we have some way of developing this kind of wired in devotion and loyalty to its programing, and to human life and existance, in any AI, then we have to avoid their existence.

Jo**********:

It wasn't until I trained my own machine learning agents (for our video game) and watched them behave that I was truly terrified of where we're going with all this. The AI today is fundamentally different from the older scripted behavior AI of the past. We now use techniques much akin to how our own brains work. The scariest part to me is that, through these multitudinous simulations, the systems actually learn and improve in ways that are currently already beyond our intuition. Decisions are made by the system we wouldn't expect that then lead to unforeseen phenomena.
