Why AI is Unpredictable | John-Clark Levin | TEDxClaremont McKenna College
By comparing AI to vegetables and lazy college students while describing them as being powered by vibes, John-Clark Levin explains why AI is unpredictable in this fun yet thought-provoking talk. John-Clark Levin (he/him) is a researcher and policy advisor on artificial intelligence, and a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, studying how governments can do more effective foresight about AI. He is a 2012 graduate of Claremont McKenna College, double majoring in linguistics and PPE (philosophy, politics, and economics), and holds a master's in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School. His writings have appeared in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, MIT Technology Review, and Playboy. As a speaker, he has lectured at dozens of institutions including the U.S. Naval War College, Georgetown University, and the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. John-Clark serves as research lead at Kurzweil AI, and frequently consults for governments, NGOs, and corporations on issues spanning both technical and political dimensions of AI. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

As someone working on AI safety research and advocacy, great work!! One of the best talks I've seen directed towards the public

in my view (very limited though it is), things are moving much faster than the general public - and (again, from my limited perspective) at least some ai researchers recognize.

@@not.strictly.necessary you're absolutely right, we keep moving the goalposts on AI as it continuously flies past them and surprises even the researchers making it. The time to pull back and reflect on what we're doing is now...before it's too late
Genuine appreciation to John-Clark, TED team, and TEDxClaremont organizers for creating the conditions for these ideas to spread. Meeting people where they are, building out fresh analogies, and leveraging it all to subtly convey insightful content - chef’s kiss.
Interesting lecture after a long time
Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI prefers “confabulation” rather than “hallucination”.

So in that case, any future predictions by AI that are non-justifiable should be termed as 'Delusions'.

Chat is chat. ChatGPT is one application which you can have a conversation with it. Ai is more broadly intelligence

AI is a multimodal learning mechanism, with which we train different "AI tools". ChatGPT is AI, but AI is not ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is an application whose capability to Chat with humans is empowered by AI models that use GPT technology. ChatGPT allows humans to chat and ask questions to AI that has been trained on large amounts of internet data.
what can the average person do to help?

Learn as much as possible about it. Knowledge and awareness lead to insight. Insight to action.
Excellent talk - really like it!
Language like species or organisms while referring to AI are a poor choice for describing how these AI systems work. Anthropomorphism is a known cognitive bias researchers trying to educate the public specially need to avoid. See Eliza effect. Emerging statistic patterns are anything anywhere close to an organism and it shouldn’t be used in this context.
