Interviewer is not up to the task. He doesn't seem to understand for some reason the basics of the topic, hence dragging down the conversation to reduced monologue, though haven't see anybody else doing a lot better. Consciousness core essence is to be self-aware. What is the possible usefulness to be self-aware for certain entities varies. Certainly, as Harari points out, consciousness is just a natural feature, thus it can be formed etc. as a hybrid(organic-inorganic), or completely inorganic manner. There is all the difference in the world, if we create godlike monster/create artificial hell, or if we create the "opposite". Current stream doesn't indicate likely scenario of compassionate AI. We better nurture the progress towards compassionate, for all of us, specially because AI will be beyond measure more intelligent than the smartest human is now. This all, even if humans will survive as a hubris species. Not realistic to assume humans to survive in a way that we understand the concept today, but in the best case scenario, as a hubris species. As it is, that computers can detect emotions and learn from it to better understand humans than any human can(later on), there is one clear path to computers to become self-aware. A priority is to lead the technological development to the direction, where commonly negative properties(envy, anger etc.) of our emotional features are eliminated and positive like empathy is coded in. One huge obstacle to this scenario to become a reality is that the people in power(very few and possibly more so in future) do not see empathy as a positive property, but rather as a disadvantage. Human feelings formed to serve for ex. to nurturing offspring, that is surely an advantage for the species, thus can argue the importance of artificial empathy. We Should also make a priority any kind of future life(prefer it to have at least a good memory of humans and also actually anything..) to be locked in to infinity i.e. make it impossible to go extinct. This with empathy is something that most sane person would like.

I dont think theres any incinsistency here.

Wow, this aged like fine wine!

Essentially he is not worried about an AI that is self-aware, defined its own purpose and started working towards it, but by an AI that is controlled by a few, is the source of all the wealth creation and hence makes most humans incapable of claiming any share of the wealth created.

As long as people are fed, clothed, have a shelter and entertainment to keep them occupied, there won't be any riots and revolutions.

There is tremendous emotional and psychological healing when another human empathizes with us.. compassionately understands us at a deep level. Then once we are accepted and loved and understood we can move forward. So a psychotherapist can help people understand and accept and love themselves. Maybe in this Brave New World that we are hearing about more of us can be in the healing professions. Maybe not the medical side or the chemical side as much but more the side of really listening and caring for each other. Wouldn't that be nice!!!???!!!

I am sympathetic to the tools and general goal of transhumanism to alleviate human suffering. Yet I wonder what we might be losing if we adopt the materialist philosophy underpinning transhumanism - if we think that humans are just localized, finite minds, we might be looking in the wrong place for ultimate happiness. For instance, from my perspective, rain dances are not obsolete. I believe something interesting is happening there that can't be explained by the current scientific paradigm.

One of the most interesting aspects of this debate is I remember hearing one coming up with pretty much the same conclusions - about how our life will be taken over, or at least revolutionised - by computers when I was in my teens, 40 years ago.

The therapist more often effective in achieving successful outcomes regarding those struggling with emotional issues and commonly resulting behavioral problems are those who have themselves personally succeeded in overcoming their own emotional retribution created from an unwanted situation, a life altering event , or a significant loss. The success of these individuals comes from the incredible amount of knowledge gained as a result of their own individual experience. Knowledge so advanced and complex it requires the human mind to process, comprehend, and implement actions necessary for the betterment of human consciousness.

Money and Rights as fiction? These are probably the most important concepts to understand if one wishes to also understand peaceful human interaction on a large scale. These are not myths. Property and the human rights entailed in it are the most necessary attribute of successful, peaceful, stable societies in the modern era. To ignore it as a fiction, just a story one tells, is to deny human rights as something to be sought after. It is to ignore the security of the individual, and to place all faith in elite technocrats and AI god-systems. Am I in the face of some nigh omnipotent man-made machine to lose all value, all of my rights? Am I to be eliminated along with billions for expediency?

Perhaps the task of religion, not only now, but in future is not to analyze reality, but to ponder it-reflect on it, and help us decide how to live into changing realities and adapt to them in ways that promote well being and to preserve mystery and meaning for, if we do become useless what then will be the purpose of living if it is absent of meaning

About the meaning problem - i think that it can't be bad from both sides. or that we still will have meaning with each other, and it will not be replaced ; or that the machines will give us better attention and meaning-like-feelings - so we won't really care about the loss of each other because we will have our meaningful life from the machine (like in the matrix).

Is non issue with computerised train systems because emergency default, is to stop. Pretty logical really.

That's a hell of a statement to make with no explanation or example SMH

Materialist Philosophy ignores the fact that - by its nature, even by admission of honest materialist philosophers - it is itself incomplete, and ploughs on indulging in its own beliefs to create castles built first in the air, then [occasionally getting that far] on sand. This talk is a good example: the belief is that LIFE is caused entirely by material effects. As though dealing efficiently with information problems can lead to economic systems that can bring the things that make life good and worth living: peace and contentment and laughter and generosity and joy and respect and kindliness and love, etc etc. Artificial Intelligence is a misnomer, unless you define intelligence as merely problem-solving. However, the speaker is intelligent. From some of his words I suspect that he might even agree with the above, under his preoccupation with political/technological developments of the near future. Good luck to him. Not enough people think with such clarity.

You've pointed out something very important. He does himself, rest on a materialist premise. There is an alternative to the current methodology of Natural Science, offered by Goethe (see his method on understanding Colour, and challenges Isaac Newton's theory, which we are all taught at school), and added to by Rudolf Steiner. So far, Goethe hasn't made a dent in our education systems, but it leaves the door open to the existence of an existing spiritual realm, and is not the 'closed system' of thinking that the Natural Sciences are.

Getting to full artificial intelligence is not a given. I wouldnt be as positive about overcoming all our struggles through even more technological advancements, but I do like what he presents to us!

Both private organisations and the meanwhile really huge government bureaucracy complex have their own agenda, but private organisations at least need the agreement of the customer whereas government has the power to isolate, harm, oppress and even extinct a citizens life without having to live up to real competition within its borders. Government bureaucracies are not following a "neoliberal doctrine" - this is a wrong story that Harari seems to have started to believe. They have instead during the last century tremendously increased their financial income, manpower, authority and regulations. If governments are losing influence in some areas, it has to do with their ineffectiveness and missing independence of thougth / entrepreneurial spirit and then of course because of various mismatches of the level (local, national, global) of regulations vs. the corresponding social and economic activities of people as mentioned by Harari elsewhere.

In relation to history, mosses do gives a hint of how knowledge and wisdom evolves and exist on a complex society. knowledge is not in history books but rather a cognition of symbolic displays extremely well timed with a verbal information transmitted directly from the father & mother to the child. This fact is what creates the difference between temporary power and permanent power, and does state the materialization of what power is all about on what the human consciousness is concern.

So if less and less people are needed in the job market (and those people maybe will have to get universal basic income), does that mean that the people who actually work will have to earn even more in comparison to be willing to work? So the class differences would increase in such a society...

People will never be useless; they'll just be useful as consumers instead of as producers. :-)

Everything boils down to figure out what is right and wrong.

Industrial revolution VS. Information revolution----- One good analogy I have heard is as follows: The horse had had all kinds of innovations over many years, which supplemented its productivity. (i.e. the saddle, the stirrup, the plow.) At the end of the 19th century, the internal combustion engine came online, and the horse was replaced. The next 20 years are the end of the 19th century, and you're the horse.

If Google is going to hire philosophers in the future, then I have hopes with getting a job after my PhD

How nice to know that. Thanks for sharing

Is there not any way to hold control, in some shape or other, and making some security arrangements or other arrangements With Silicone Valley and others? Or something like that? I know that’s naïve but could teach us?

The (Omni) Present in what we call The Now is infinite with 'a beginning ' : " Is there a relationship between PIE and The NOW? ". The PIEnumber changes always, without ending and meanwhile staying unique as a total number (as far found). I think fieldformula change drasticly if The Now (as PIE) is integrated as a 'working' number' not only as an indicator of distance but also in time; Is PIE key to timespace?

I really hope the Intelligence Squared would allow additional translation to other languages so the knowledge and spirit of this video can be spread widely!

Really happy and impressed with his presentation. Happy because he articulates his ideas so well that now the mainstream and laymen will finally take the singularity seriously. And impressed because he presented so many new and concrete ideas that Kurzwel, De Grey, Bostrom, Diamandis omit

what's left of our political power is even now mostly a sop. but, we still have enormous economic power (as consumers) - if we choose to use it.

I would pay alot if I had it to share views and question them with this man I sit questioning the screen no one interviews him the way I want
