This was fantastic. I'm so grateful Stuart is part of this conversation -- we really him to stay actively involved to help us find our way through his informed, sensible, well grounded, intelligent, and knowledgeable approach. I'm so glad he signed the "open letter" petition. Thank you for posting this lecture.

This is one of the deepest yet well-rounded discussions I have run across while trying to understand the technology and where it's leading us. Thanks for both the technical content and the multiple levels at which you look at this problem - and for offering a hopeful path forward.

56:00 summary and questions was perhaps the best part

The elephant in the room is control of AI. Which Country, Company or individual will have the most powerful. Will they compete with each other and to what purpose. Their will be no holding back of AI. In fact their is a race on right now to develope it faster then any competitor, be it country, company or person.

I think this is the single most insightful and inspiring talk I've seen on the subject. Really gets to the heart of the problem we face and has 'sparks of a solution' to the cliff-like problem we're rapidly driving toward.

I liked this conference very much. Host more of these and the world will be a much better place.

Many thanks. More power to Stuart!

This was brilliant, that's for the upload!

Great insight on the responsible development of AI! 😊👍 We need more people like Stuart Russell! #grateful #AIethics

Thank you for this amazing talk!

So glad I’m majoring in data science

Common and indexical goals need not be exclusive. Everyone at the coffee shop has an indexical goal of getting coffee, and yet, a common goal can emerge by which people wait in line to their coffee when it is their turn. Of course, we could all storm the shop but it would at best work once, and then the whole infrastructure would be destroyed. Like we can layer goals in different time frames with different degrees of precision, we can also layer indexical and common goals. Can machines do the same?

This guy is a legend

This man just gave me hope 🙂

Very informative talk :)

Great

Question so does this mean that the 60 minutes episodes with Google saying their AI is scary good and they can't even explain why it's so smart (leaning a new language other than english) ...does all that have no weight and is all hype to self promote thier platform?

12:59 I thought it was predicted to take 10-20 years, if 100 is true it must have been earlier, I rather doubt that high number within the last 10 years. Anyone know?

Having a moratorium on AI research for a limited time is needed but…doesn't that just mean that potential "good actors" will just be behind potential "bad actors" for the exact amount of time the moratorium lasts? I'm sure "evil geniuses" and/or corrupt regimes won't halt a thing and i don't see any way around it.

Bad actors mostly ride on the progress of better-resourced good actors

Actually it is turning out that centralist regimes like China are banning LLMs for the precise reason that they cannot control them. It‘s almost like a natural hedge. For the moment at least.

And this is of course one of the problems. As we approach being able to build general AI, it's likely to turn into a race. You don't even really need "bad actors" if you have systemic pressures that encourage people to ignore safety concerns in order to "win".

Somehow this argument doesn't work for atomic research, what's the difference here? Hiring hundreds-thousands of engineers, attracting hundreds of mil investments, then buying tons of equipment, to do what is forbidden on the international level would not be something I can pull from my garage. Yeah, North Korea and Iran still develop nuclear systems, yet it's classified so harder to attract talents and there're legal grounds for punishments for those who help them. I think this argument makes things much worse rather than better. Saying "if we don't blow up the world, someone else is gonna do it, so it's gotta be us" is insanity and yet eric schmidt and other suits like him (purely business people with little knowledge about technology and even less respect towards it) keep repeating this 💩

The good actors are leagues ahead. Also, as time goes on the 'good' is less apparent as they increasingly pursue their own interests. There are far too many people with stars in their eyes. Human nature drives people (generally) to pursue and exercise their own best interests ahead of others. The 'problem of alignment' needs to be as much about those people as AI itself.

Great talk. If the AI remains unsure of what our preferences are, surely the shortest path is to simply influence our preferences until it can predict them perfectly? I’m not superhuman so I assume the AI will come up with a better plan than this.
