Yuval Noah Harari & Gillian Tett @ CogX Festival | Close Encounters of the AI Kind

Should AI stand for 'Alien Intelligence'? Is there a need for special institutions to regulate AI? Could this technology inadvertently, or intentionally, empower authoritarian regimes? How much time do we have to figure it all out?
Watch Yuval Noah Harari and Gillian Tett, Editor-at-Large at the Financial Times, delve into the potential future of artificial intelligence.
Filmed as part of CogX Festival in London, on 12 September 2023.

    Agreed! Indeed, he is wrong on AI ! First, AI is not the first agent that can imitate decision making. Indeed, decision making is a simple skill. A coin, can decide for you, if you flip it and trust its results, just the way AI is doing, although using a "better coin" than a fifty-fifty one. Of course, we all mean "useful decisions" or objectively stated "correct decisions", when we say decision making; and to that end, nobody (including ordinary humans) knows the rules of correct decision making under every circumstance. Apart from simple technically driven cases, such as closing the doors, when it's cold outside, decision making is an "art", and computers cannot do arts; like in yesterday, today, and forever... Second, AI is not creative by any means. The fact that it can synthesize intelligible multi-media, using different mechanisms such as randomization, or statistically guided, or rule-based programmed, does not mean that AI has any understading or appreciation of what it has achieved... It's still "humans" who interpret their outputs as "artsy" looking, not the AI itself... So to that end, a beautiful butterfly, is also "doing" art with its wings... Furthermore, with the help of NLP (natural language processing), AI seems to have an ability to speak? But nO again!! It's speech is nothing more than an "echo" of the human programmer instructing the mahcine to respond in certain ways under certain conditions. The algorithm has no way of "understanding" any language, including its own! Then what's this fuss all about? Admittedly, AI will co-pilot or replace some jobs; especially those based on simple, rule based decision making, such as closing the doors when it's cold outside... ;-))

    You speak of organic entities/intelligence as if they were very different from inorganic ones. Are they ? (electricity, carbon, hidrogen, oxigen, etc.). If inorganic entities are composed of less elements than the organic ones (us) you don't need to fred. They will be tools to enhance our skills to increase our human potential. Organic beings will always have the upper hand (though sadly, just as atomic bombs, inorganic entities will still be a threat to us which we will have to keep a close watch on them). If inorganic enities are composed of equal elements we simply will co-exist with them and we all will be forced to cooperate together helping one another as we humans have done during ages with ourselves (though sadly, from time to time, we also will fight with them as we sometimes fight with ourselves). If finally these robots are composed of more elements than we ourselves they will be a superior improved versions of ours and we will be either replaced or subdued by them the same way animals are at our mercy now. It will be inevitable and the fairest thing that could happen (who would want lions or ants ruling us?). That's because Justice always prevails. Sadly in the loooong term (so long that sometimes we don't live enough to see it) and even sadder while some isolated injusticies are commited.

    We never had those choices in the first place. We just know about it now. A lot of what we think is 'things are getting worse' stuff is just us finding out through greater awareness via social media what has always been the reality. You think corporations have power now, you should look at how powerful the Dutch and British East India companies were 100+ years ago. They had their own armies, slaves and racked up huge death tolls. Things are bad. They used to be a lot worse.

    Turtles are among the slowest animals on planet Earth. While tortoise speed can vary from species to species, the average top speed is roughly 0.12 to 0.25 miles per hour. Hares are very fast-moving animals and are able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph). The Brown Hare's long back legs enable them to reach speeds of 77kph (48mph), the same speed as their predator the red fox. - 1 mile is equal to 1.609344 kilometers - 17:26 (Google search engine)

    I don't understand why Pablo Picasso, or John Lennon works of art is publicized and they allowed to go public, even if their work was controversial, and they also digested human culture and created their own original cultural artifacts which became publicly known, but software/AI engineers should be refrained from that right. Maybe some old historians of the old world who fight to preserve 300 years old political agenda should not be listened, or influence current politicians who are players in that political agenda? Democracy have made possible 300 years ago, but we no longer need and it is inevitable for us to explore better ways. Lobbists, social media, and weapons made it no longer tangible to keep it that way. In either way those who are less of a human sapiens will stay behind.

    Yuval clearly has no qualms making as much money as possible while he’s still the Go To Guy for all things AI, Futurist, etc. In true professor fashion, he repeats himself as nauseum. He draws on the same analogies, the same stories, the same examples, the same comparisons, right down to the exact wording he uses in his books, writings, and other speeches. Moreover, he doesn’t appear to be introducing new, exciting, original thinking to these well-paid talks, conferences, etc. He’s mostly drawing from his books and filling in the gaps with some new material. To me, he is not a leading thinker. He is more of a nerdy professor, who years ago worked very hard to create course content, which later became his books, and has been stuck and stagnant for several years now. He’s more interested in marketing himself, soaking up the adoration, and making money, than he is with breaking new ground and evolving his ideas.
