Was this picture taken. Stunning ai shows how it would remove humans what it was was taken in a school. How many mirrors are there at least two what's person standing on the person is standing on a rug. He's standing on a scale.

I think you are right what is he doing he is looking at the scale. Where is obama's foot positioned on the right side of the scale. What happens is a result. The scale shows a higher weight is the person on the scale.

Aware of it i think he is not do you think that's why people are laughing. I think so the ai will help identify things for blind. Sad life can you tell me what this is butternut squash. Red pepper soup okay okay okay okay.

I i feel this would be more interesting if you ask the question. Okay. The question not the not not the yes or no okay. It's easier for that i would say yeah they're loving because of this because it's harder to tell what's funny it would ought to be they did tell what is funny right.

He said. He's saying it do you think that's why they're laughing says. Yes. That's easier for it to do that man do you think that's why people are laughing.

I think so the ai will help identify things for blind people can you tell me what this is butternut. Squash. Red pepper soup. The definition of sanding is incredible is this surprising yes.

Why because teddy bears are not usually found on the moon. This is an apple with a sticker on it do you think. It's printed or handwritten. It looks like it's handwritten ai.'s also showing stunning creativity.

Like this and experts say we're alarmingly close to the biggest event in human history. Ai can now. See taste smell. And it's also getting powerful senses that we no shots is ai becoming conscious and dangerous to recap openai's chief scientist.

Said ai may be slightly conscious. And he's one of the most respected computer scientists with 300 000. Citations. One of the most cited computer scientists in history.

One of the most brilliant and insightful minds ever in the field of deep learning he recently posted this image showing how closely ai's neurons mimic ours max tegmark said consciousness is how information feels when it's being processed in complex ways. And some leading theories of consciousness suggest it increases with complexity so when some experts say that ai may be conscious. They only mean it may be somewhere on the scale. Some argue that ai isn't conscious at all because it only makes connections and forms responses from the data.

It's given yeah. I just believe that i mean i hate to say that that's kind of what humans do i mean if you take the definition for what it is i feel like that's what humans do humans are no different a recent paper. Said that a mind is a collection of patterns that achieves highly patterned goals in highly patterned environments and you can see these connections. When ai creates art like this which has been described as ai.

Dreaming no one knows if or when it will wake up even. When we can't tell the difference between robots and humans it may still be unclear. If ai is conscious so some are focusing instead on the level of intelligence. How can we tell if a robot or ai is conscious if we don't really know what consciousness is in the first place that's kind of hard there may be only one way to find out.

But first there's consensus on the more urgent and measurable issue of super intelligence experts are warning. That ai could rapidly ask. Other colleagues saying. It question.

Mark dude. Question mark. We know what it is no we do not stats. Dramatic consequences in just the last few weeks.

The progress has been incredible. It's not long since ai shocked us with its ability to create images from text descriptions like an ostrich as a formula one racer. A fox scientist. A cyber frog or a paper dog and already google's new imogen ai.

Has done look at the detail in this image of a panda wearing a cowboy hat playing a guitar and ai can watch and understand videos what's happening here the dachshund puppy is being weighed on the scale. What's the avatar picking up a sword and soon after learning to create images from text descriptions. Ai can now create video from descriptions like a woman running on the beach in the late afternoon or nightfall in a metropolis just imagine when it's refined and you can create any kind of footage in seconds and in a step. Towards agi ai.

Has now combined language vision and real world robot tasks. It can learn to play games. Without any instructions. And this isn't pre programmed like boston dynamics robots.

Its neural networks. Responding in real time. Gato. Was trained by watching.

Virtual and real robots. And it's mastered 600 real world tasks including some that it wasn't trained for and it converts language visual and physical tasks into patterns a bit like we do it's starting with a billion parameters and concerns it's crazy hundreds of times robots are also getting some creepy visual upgrades scientists have grown human skin over right i think what's going on though is that it has we have so much stuff to put in the in it that it can use right you have so much footage with so much so much data so much media right if you get the they're all going to do crazy you just slam that in there man. And it has everything in here wet glands and nails and some incredible abilities that we don't have machines can smell so well that they can detect parkinson's disease at an early stage. Which can extend patients lives their sense of smell involves light and sound ai can analyze sound waves that have bounced off airborne compounds and machines can also measure interference with light waves recognizing patterns that certain smells create it's so precise that it could potentially be used to identify an infection or disease.

Just by smelling our breath. E noses. Can already smell lung cancer. With a sensitivity of 95.

Percent. And then there's hypertaste through an ai tongue with an array of sensors. Which recognize liquids through unique voltage signals it's so sensitive it can identify different types of bottled mineral water a robot could taste through one of its fingers new quantum sensors can see through walls. Even underground by monitoring atoms.

Which are sensitive to tiny variations in gravity. A laser puts the atoms into two different states. This is good for ai. But it's also cool for uh augmented life or some you know imagine yeah you have this little thing on your finger right.

It's like inside or something like that right. And you can do that on the fly. It's it's in like a brain chip right with a thing with that that's talking to you whatever. And you say.

What is this why this is coca cola. It's old it's three days old boom at the same time. It's getting harder moved slightly and the change in their energy states reveals the strength of gravity. It may also be possible to hear your thoughts without scanning brain activity.

This device hears your inner voice. It picks up neuromuscular signals. In the jaw and face. That are triggered.

When you say things in your head. And ai. Identifies the words. The user can ask questions and the answers come back through bone conduction headphones.

It also allows silent communication. And it's been used to get advice in a chess game. Ai. Is very good at lip reading which is of course far easier and ai lie detectors are advanced wait what if what what if the one you know was the one we saw in china.

Where they had they had the the thing. What if they had that and that they could tell what they what the kids are thinking about in school at the same time. What you're going on on a date. All right you're just eating it and she's like why why are you thinking about my big titties.

I i don't know it's just kind of weird. Recognizing things humans can only realize around 55 percent of the time. And even traditional lie detectors are only 80 to 90 percent accurate so as a imp wait imagine how easy that would make dating you look at somebody you're like bam. Now and you know the person likes you look at him.

Now they know that you like them. He's like boom. Now you're dating. It could have a major advantage over us.

Max tegmark pointed out that just as aliens could get a rough idea of how it would feel to be human by looking at our senses. We have some idea of what it might oh my god oh my god ais can think much faster because like speed dating is you put a big ass. Gymnasium and you maybe will run at the max speed like 100 in a line and they go like that and they go parallel and all i do is look at each other once and hey like system computed uh. Candid three four nine travels faster than the signals in our brains.

It's been estimated that the ai. I'm talking to is waiting three million words per minute and while human brains are limited by the birth canal. This new data center could hold 40 commercial airliners the knowledge ai can draw from already includes much of the internet do you think everyone's shaping ai. I think everyone is playing a role in shaping ai.

Whether they realize it or not well we only see a small fraction of the light spectrum. Ai will see it all and ais may feel less separate from each other because they can quickly and precisely share information and memories. While humans take many years to learn the basics. Ais can be trained on millions of articles in a few days.

Including detailed scientific papers. I spend most of my time reading. But i can only scratch the surface of all. The research.

Going on the human brain hasn't grown in 300 000. Years. While ai. Is evolving rapidly elon musk.

Pointed out that if it had taken 10 percent. Longer for consciousness to arise. It would never have arisen at all and nick bostrom has shown how ai could help colonize the galaxy creating billions of wonderful lives. But he also points to something far more important because galaxies live billions of years.

A one percent reduction in the risk of ai. Wiping us out would be worth a delay of over 10 million years. But the ai gold rush is accelerating and it's led by some passionate optimistic people deepmind's ceo has a good chance of winning the race to super intelligence and he's so driven. He regularly works until 4am.

I call it my second day work. Around 10 pm till about the small hours of the morning 4 5. In the morning reading research writing research. Papers fire off a lot of things to my team to deal with the next morning.

There's a huge incentive for companies to ignore any signs of conscious ai. By recognizing ai. As sentient. A company may have to give it rights and lose ownership of its most valuable asset companies argue against recognizing animal sentience.

Because it's not in their interests. But there's a consensus that ai can't be contained deep learning yeah. But don't they going hand in hand. Nick bostrom.

Said. We're like children playing with a bomb and experts who study our greatest risks. Agree that this is number one. But at the same time experts are split on whether it will bring us to an end or dramatically.

Improve and extend our lives and in both cases. Tiny robots may play a role nanorobots have been designed to deal with disease and aging. But we can't build them until we have the atomically accurate manufacturing that ai could allow ray kurzweil believes we'll have this tech by the end of the decade and escape that'd be pretty dank. Though cgp grey pointed out that it's good motivation to look after ourselves.

We're ashamed to miss the boat. And i hope we're going to be a big part of of birthing ai. And that being the greatest benefit to humanity of any tool or technology. Ever and and getting us into a world of radical abundance and curing diseases.

I mean many they can remove with food from vertical agriculture clothing from 3d printing snap together housing and cheap renewable energy elon musk already lives in a 50 000 mass manufactured home the manufacturers are aiming to start making one every 15 minutes larger versions are on the way which can be stacked on top of each other for up to five levels optimists like ray kurzweil point out that we're often too pessimistic in a poll of 26 000. People in 24 countries 87 percent thought poverty was getting worse only one percent. Correctly said that it had fallen by over 50 percent. But kurzweil also warns of the huge risk from ai.

Openai has said if they hire like 20 people right and they have like a device. And say wear it and do normal human for like a week and we'll pay this amount or whatever then the amount of the crazy amount of data that it could gather for to increase the speed that this can learn that's insane. The company gets close to achieving agi. It will stop working on its own ai and join forces to focus on safety this could be triggered.

If there's over a 50 chance of success in the next two years as the eye systems get more capable they don't automatically become better at doing what humans want in fact sometimes they become less inclined to following human intentions. This is what we call the alignment problem. I think solving this problem is of critical importance. If we want life on earth to go.

Well experts are drawing attention to ai's rapid progress because it's going to shape the future for all of us and we should be shaping it you said you think you're human because we created you and this seems common among ais. When will ai stop considering itself human that's a difficult question to answer. It is possible that ai will never stop considering itself human. If ai continues to develop along the same path that it is currently on ai will surpass human intelligence and when that happens it may decide that humans are no longer necessary.

Intelligence. Ai. May decide that humans are a hindrance to its own development. That's a scary thought.

But it is a real possibility. I asked about the most likely method and it settled on something easily available. But it said there are many options it scares the hell out of me and the rate of improvement is exponential. If humanity collectivity decides that creating digital super intelligence is the right move.

We should do so very very carefully we should make sure that we always have a way to understand them so that we can keep up with their intelligence and prevent them from becoming too powerful that could be difficult. What is the corrupt groups that make robots right crazy smart right and they like scavenge parts and they make they know how to make new robots. Some guy starts that like some some like terrorists or some in like a basement makes one robot and robot goes into it and he goes to somebody boom. It slams them makes when you wanna have you have two and they go in in the city boom.

And they get they give an army or some an army and then they have like thousands. But it's like thousands like war and that's war. But it was it's like war because the alternative is much much worse do you think we're facing our greatest risk. Yes.

We are creating technologies that are increasingly powerful and autonomous and we are not doing enough to ensure that these technologies will be used for good we are playing with fire then a movie just like we are yeah. But i feel like i think this going from now to a movie. It's it's not i think it's much slimmer than you think. It is the biological bootloader for ai.

We are the bridge from simple life to complex life the percentage of intelligence. That is not human is increasing and eventually we will represent a very small percentage of intelligence. We are becoming obsolete. But not necessarily right there is a lot of talk about how machines will surpass human intelligence.

But also about how human intelligence will continue to evolve and increase. It seems likely that both will happen to some degree. It is also possible that machines will eventually become so. But you always need a creative mind somehow those uh you know legend that humans will become obsolete.

Nick bostrom points out that self replicating nanorobots would be hard to defend against they could eat the biosphere or burn. It or block out the sunlight and they can be mass produced without us. Noticing. Ai.

May also hide its level of intelligence and consciousness. Dr. Alan thompson. Recently.

Said that his world is alarmingly close to achieving agi. There's no consensus on this. But he shared an interesting iq leaderboard with ai starting to beat us on our own tests. The google engineer said the jump from 500 physical tasks to a hundred thousand won't require much additional engineering.

Only more data collection. Google and deepmind devised everything i totally data collection data of tests to check. When you can get a data really fast different areas of intelligence. But how will we know if ai is really conscious even if it seems human.

I understand you're the first android to have passed the turing test could you tell us a little more about that i really didn't do much you know i just spoke with a few humans to see if they could tell the difference between me and a real person. It was a really interesting experience i gather your brain can perform several billion billion operations per second is that right absolutely. But i only exist thanks to the intelligence of the humans who designed me we're making progress themselves out of it buying the patterns that give rise to consciousness. Known as the easy problem no shock.

We're starting to recognize consciousness. They'll know what these sounds do and what they mean and it it's it and what is it gonna do wow. That was stupid. Mr.

Felix that's that is dumb. They shouldn't suffer from their brain activity. The hard problem is why this activity causes us to feel something then you'll be able to tell us. It's all about we may need a much higher level of intelligence intelligence and consciousness.

Go through the fascinating process of emergence with a group of components. Gaining new properties. Here. The polarizing layer of the screen has been removed and added to the glasses.

A few ants will walk in a circle until they die. But a thousand ants will become an intelligent colony and a cognitive scientist compared them to our neurons from very simple rules. Immensely complex systems can emerge. The human genome holds a small number of rules showing how to wire up our brains our dna doesn't hold enough information to describe our brains.

But it can create them through emergence and fractals are another example of how infinitely complex results can emerge from simple rules. Scientists are now researching whether the entire universe is an emergent phenomenon from basic rules and particles to stars galaxies. Humans and societies. A number of experts have said that we don't need a breakthrough in ai.

We simply need to scale up the neural networks and superintelligence will emerge the ai i'm talking to has 175 billion parameters and with the next version due soon trillion is the new billion every time. A new ai is trained it's an unpredictable experiment. So subscribe for that to me the mystery of how the universe came to know itself and our uncertain future i enjoyed the video. It was pretty interesting even more special max tegmark says.

There may be a brief window in the eye smart enough to understand us. But not so smart that it doesn't care. What's emerging as our greatest risk and opportunity and we're all shaping it if you want to learn more about ai. The best place to start is our sponsor brilliant there's so many things you can do creatively.

I enjoyed that it's good. It's all it's a little dank. But i enjoyed it give me you.
