<br />0<br /> trust human beings <br />2<br /> and trust young people <br />3<br /> let's take responsibility for today <br />6<br /> but let's not take away all the <br />8<br /> solutions for tomorrow <br />10<br /> it's great human being make mistakes <br />14<br /> it's great human beings learn from <br />16<br /> mistakes <br />18<br /> it's great to die <br />27<br /> okay great ai yeah <br />31<br /> um <br />31<br /> actually <br />32<br /> i'm told that does ai mean love it like <br />35<br /> there's like a name ai it sort of sounds <br />38<br /> a bit like love yeah a i i hate the word <br />40<br /> a.i called artificial intelligence i <br />43<br /> call it alibaba intelligence yeah <br />48<br /> might end up being true you never know <br />50<br /> um <br />53<br /> i think generally people <br />56<br /> underestimate the the capability <br />59<br /> capability of ai they sort of think like <br />61<br /> it's a smart human <br />62<br /> um but it's <br />64<br /> it's it's really much <br />66<br /> it's going to be much more than that um <br />68<br /> it'll be much smarter than the smartest <br />70<br /> human <br />72<br /> yeah can we be like <br />74<br /> you know if like can a chimpanzee really <br />77<br /> understand humans not really <br />80<br /> you know <br />81<br /> they're just we just seem like strange <br />83<br /> aliens <br />84<br /> um well they mostly just care about <br />86<br /> other chimpanzees <br />88<br /> uh and uh <br />90<br /> this will be how it is more or less in a <br />92<br /> relative in fact if it's if the <br />94<br /> difference is only that small that would <br />96<br /> be amazing it probably is much much <br />97<br /> greater <br />98<br /> i mean i really think that there should <br />100<br /> be other companies like neurolink <br />103<br /> essentially to create a high bandwidth <br />106<br /> interface to the brain <br />108<br /> because the <br />110<br /> right right now we are already a cyborg <br />113<br /> don't realize we are already a cyborg <br />116<br /> because we are so well integrated with <br />117<br /> our phones and our computers <br />120<br /> uh the phone is almost like an extension <br />122<br /> of yourself if you forget your phone <br />124<br /> it's like a missing limb <br />127<br /> um <br />129<br /> but the bandwidth <br />130<br /> the communication bandwidth to the phone <br />132<br /> is very low especially input <br />134<br /> so <br />135<br /> in fact input bandwidth to computers has <br />138<br /> actually gone down <br />139<br /> because of typing with two thumbs as <br />142<br /> opposed to 10 fingers is a big reduction <br />145<br /> in bandwidth <br />147<br /> input bandwidth has gone up because of <br />149<br /> video <br />150<br /> and imagery <br />152<br /> so input bandwidth is many orders of <br />153<br /> magnitude greater than output bandwidth <br />158<br /> but at a certain point if we <br />161<br /> will just <br />162<br /> even <br />162<br /> assuming a benign scenario with ai <br />165<br /> we will just be too slow <br />168<br /> i think ai is going to open a new <br />170<br /> chapter of the society of the world that <br />173<br /> people try to understand ourselves <br />176<br /> better rather than the outside world <br />180<br /> and <br />181<br /> it's so difficult to predict the future <br />186<br /> 99.99 <br />188<br /> of the predictions the human being had <br />190<br /> in history about the future all wrong <br />193<br /> including that one oh yeah <br />196<br /> only you know the the 0.00 <br />200<br /> of the prediction are right <br />202<br /> they're right because by accident <br />204<br /> yeah but it's also true that 80 of <br />206<br /> statistics are false yeah <br />208<br /> so <br />209<br /> my meaning is <br />212<br /> [Laughter] <br />215<br /> i'm happy about the <br />217<br /> artificial intelligence or alibaba <br />220<br /> intelligence <br />221<br /> that's going to understand a human the <br />223<br /> inside of the human better so when <br />226<br /> people worry a lot about artificial <br />228<br /> intelligence <br />230<br /> people should have more confidence in <br />231<br /> themselves <br />233<br /> because <br />234<br /> i think if a lot of solutions we don't <br />237<br /> have today but there will be solutions <br />239<br /> tomorrow we don't have solutions for the <br />241<br /> young people we have solutions <br />243<br /> so i'm quite optimistic <br />246<br /> and i don't think <br />248<br /> artificial intelligence is a threat i <br />251<br /> don't think that if it <br />253<br /> intelligent is something terrible <br />256<br /> but human beings are smart enough to <br />258<br /> learn that and to me artificial <br />260<br /> intelligence is just like <br />262<br /> people worry a lot about this today are <br />264<br /> those people i called them called <br />270<br /> called <br />271<br /> college smartness people like us street <br />274<br /> smart we're never scared of that we we <br />276<br /> think it's a great fun and we want to <br />279<br /> change ourselves to embrace it i don't <br />281<br /> know man that's like famous last words <br />284<br /> this is <br />285<br /> let me tell you ai <br />287<br /> is <br />288<br /> i mean you look at sort of <br />290<br /> the rate of advancement just in general <br />292<br /> the rate of advancement of computers is <br />294<br /> insane um <br />297<br /> like a good example would be video games <br />299<br /> you know if you go back 40 40 years ago <br />302<br /> or 50 years ago maybe <br />304<br /> you had pong that was just two <br />306<br /> rectangles and a square <br />308<br /> now you've got photorealistic real-time <br />310<br /> simulations with millions of people <br />311<br /> playing simultaneously if you assume any <br />314<br /> rate of improvement at all <br />316<br /> the <br />317<br /> i mean these games will be <br />318<br /> indistinguishable from reality you will <br />320<br /> not be able to tell the difference <br />321<br /> either that or civilization will end <br />323<br /> those are the two options <br />324<br /> good <br />325<br /> yeah <br />326<br /> well let's talk about something fun i <br />328<br /> i'm at the mind that you want to go on <br />331<br /> the mars shall we go to the the mars <br />334<br /> yeah yeah so what will the life look <br />337<br /> like on mars are you both moving <br />341<br /> what do you think about that i i <br />342<br /> actually i'm not interested in mars <br />345<br /> i just came back from there so <br />349<br /> i'm more interested on the earth the <br />350<br /> things what's going on happening here so <br />352<br /> what why you are so curious about the <br />354<br /> mars <br />355<br /> i'm among the set of actions we can take <br />358<br /> that are likely to increase the scope <br />360<br /> and scale of consciousness such that we <br />362<br /> are better able to understand the nature <br />364<br /> of the universe <br />366<br /> one of those actions is to become a <br />368<br /> multi-planet species or ensure that life <br />371<br /> is multi-planetary <br />372<br /> not because i think something that <br />374<br /> it's not not from from the standpoint of <br />376<br /> it just being <br />377<br /> an escape hatch or because i think that <br />379<br /> earth is doomed <br />381<br /> but there is a certain probability that <br />383<br /> is irreducible <br />385<br /> that something may happen to earth <br />387<br /> despite <br />388<br /> our best intentions despite everything <br />389<br /> we try to do <br />390<br /> the <br />391<br /> there's a probability at a certain point <br />393<br /> that some either external <br />396<br /> force or <br />397<br /> some internal unforced error <br />400<br /> causes civilization to be destroyed <br />403<br /> or sufficiently impaired such that it <br />406<br /> can no longer <br />407<br /> extend to another planet this is the <br />410<br /> first time in the four and a half <br />412<br /> billion year history of earth <br />414<br /> that it's been possible <br />416<br /> to extend life beyond earth <br />418<br /> before this it was not possible <br />421<br /> how long will this window be open <br />423<br /> it may be open for a long time or it may <br />426<br /> be open for a short time i think we <br />428<br /> should it would be wise to assume that <br />430<br /> it is open for a short time <br />432<br /> and and and then let us uh secure the <br />434<br /> future <br />436<br /> secure the future of consciousness <br />439<br /> such that life of the light of <br />440<br /> consciousness is not extinguished <br />443<br /> and we should try to do this as quickly <br />445<br /> as possible <br />448<br /> that's my view it's so difficult to <br />450<br /> secure the future of the earth but we <br />452<br /> can secure the future of next 100 years <br />455<br /> i am i'm not the person that i admire <br />459<br /> your courage for explore the mars <br />462<br /> but i admire a lot of people spend <br />464<br /> efforts on improving the earth <br />467<br /> it's it's great to send 1 million people <br />469<br /> to the mars but we have to care about <br />471<br /> the 7.4 billion people on the earth how <br />474<br /> can we make the world's most sustainable <br />476<br /> and i'm not that fan of the mars because <br />479<br /> i think it's easy to go to the marsh <br />481<br /> when you go on the top of the hills of <br />483<br /> all the of the building just the one <br />486<br /> step you go to mars but you will never <br />487<br /> be able to come back <br />489<br /> yeah but that's <br />491<br /> that works sir and uh <br />494<br /> we cannot solve all the problems for <br />497<br /> future <br />498<br /> but we have to be responsible for the <br />500<br /> future but we should care more about how <br />502<br /> we can enjoy better my view is that by <br />505<br /> the artificial intelligence or ai <br />508<br /> when human beings understand ourselves <br />511<br /> better <br />512<br /> then we can improve the world better <br />515<br /> last 200 years human beings try to <br />518<br /> understand the other side were better <br />520<br /> understand the other people better <br />522<br /> declare a very pro-earth when i say <br />524<br /> you know us becoming a multi-planet <br />526<br /> species or making life multi <br />529<br /> extending life beyond earth <br />532<br /> expanding the scope and scale of <br />534<br /> consciousness <br />535<br /> um <br />536<br /> from a resource standpoint i'm talking <br />538<br /> about less than one percent of earth's <br />540<br /> resources should be dedicated to <br />542<br /> uh making life multi-planetary or making <br />544<br /> consciousness multi-planetary so you <br />547<br /> know i think it should be like somewhere <br />549<br /> in between uh how much we spend on <br />551<br /> lipstick and how much we spend on <br />552<br /> healthcare like that you know things <br />554<br /> like for the preservation of <br />556<br /> consciousness <br />557<br /> we should spend maybe slightly more than <br />559<br /> we spend on on cosmetics that's my you <br />562<br /> know and i'm pro cosmetics i like <br />563<br /> they're great <br />564<br /> but <br />565<br /> but uh you know this is probably worth <br />567<br /> spending <br />568<br /> i don't know some like at least half a <br />570<br /> percent of <br />571<br /> earth's gdp on <br />573<br /> extending life to be <br />575<br /> multi-planetary <br />576<br /> maybe one percent i'd say seems like a <br />579<br /> good <br />579<br /> a good use of resources <br />581<br /> uh and but in 19 you know we have like <br />585<br /> two orders magnitude more resources <br />586<br /> spent on earth so it's not like it's <br />588<br /> uh you know somehow going to <br />591<br /> fundamentally impair earth if if if like <br />594<br /> just one percent of both resources on <br />596<br /> that order should be enough to make life <br />598<br /> multi-planetary seems like a wise <br />599<br /> investment for the future so what new <br />601<br /> jobs will be created because of the ai <br />604<br /> or has the change already stated what do <br />607<br /> you think i think why we needed that <br />609<br /> many jobs <br />611<br /> sure <br />612<br /> right my view is that the jobs <br />614<br /> actually every technology revolution <br />616<br /> people start to worry <br />618<br /> right last 200 years we worry about the <br />621<br /> new technology going to take away all <br />622<br /> the jobs actually we made a lot of jobs <br />626<br /> second because of the industry <br />628<br /> revolution <br />630<br /> job created a lot of jobs <br />632<br /> what i think <br />634<br /> in the next 20 30 years human being will <br />637<br /> live much longer the life science <br />639<br /> technology is going to make people live <br />641<br /> probably 100 120 years <br />644<br /> that may not be a good thing because you <br />645<br /> get a grandfather's grandfather still <br />647<br /> working hard <br />649<br /> but the challenge is <br />652<br /> my question why shouldn't we have a lot <br />654<br /> of jobs <br />656<br /> i think people should work three days a <br />658<br /> week <br />660<br /> four hours a day <br />662<br /> at that time the jobs we need is make <br />664<br /> people happier make people experience <br />667<br /> the life <br />668<br /> enjoy the human beings what knowledge or <br />671<br /> skills will be useful to master the <br />674<br /> future do you have any advice for young <br />677<br /> professionals who want to pursue a <br />679<br /> career in ai <br />681<br /> young professionals i don't think we <br />683<br /> will have professionals on ai in the <br />686<br /> future <br />688<br /> well <br />689<br /> i worry a lot about <br />692<br /> people worry about jobs but i worry <br />693<br /> about education <br />695<br /> all the education systems <br />697<br /> the things we teach our kids the way we <br />700<br /> teach our kids are mainly designed for <br />703<br /> the industry period <br />706<br /> and i'm sure the machine will be much <br />708<br /> clever <br />709<br /> than human beings in the future <br />713<br /> how can human being <br />715<br /> do better human beings should be smarter <br />718<br /> human beings should be wiser <br />720<br /> so how can we be human beings to be <br />722<br /> wiser or smarter i think that we should <br />725<br /> change the way of education change the <br />728<br /> things because in the in the past we <br />730<br /> focus a lot about <br />732<br /> you know remember things <br />736<br /> computer can remember better than you <br />737<br /> are we want to calculate the faster <br />740<br /> computer can can calculate much faster <br />743<br /> we want to run faster computer can run <br />745<br /> much faster than you are so human beings <br />748<br /> should have confidence <br />750<br /> by being more creative <br />752<br /> more constructive so how can we teach <br />754<br /> our kids to be more creative and <br />756<br /> constructive <br />758<br /> and i think <br />760<br /> this is the key <br />762<br /> of the education you know i would say <br />765<br /> try and learn as much as much <br />768<br /> as possible <br />769<br /> that allows you to predict the future or <br />772<br /> make the future so they're saying is the <br />774<br /> best way to predict the future is to <br />775<br /> make it <br />777<br /> just and and then <br />779<br /> assess whether what you're learning <br />782<br /> is <br />783<br /> enabling you to predict the future with <br />785<br /> less error <br />787<br /> are you less wrong <br />789<br /> we're always wrong to some degree <br />792<br /> but can you reduce the error on your <br />795<br /> future predictions <br />797<br /> i think that's the way to look at <br />799<br /> education <br />801<br /> as of course but it's both creative <br />804<br /> create the future and predict the future <br />807<br /> so that includes art and all those other <br />809<br /> things <br />811<br /> but close the loop on being less wrong <br />813<br /> about future i think the best resources <br />816<br /> of the human beings <br />818<br /> on the or the best resources on the <br />820<br /> earth are not the colds not the oil not <br />823<br /> the electricity it's it's the human <br />825<br /> brains <br />826<br /> how can we make the human great brains <br />829<br /> more creative constructive how can we <br />831<br /> making sure that the machines are always <br />834<br /> the toys <br />836<br /> and tools of humans rather than the <br />838<br /> control so i never in my life <br />842<br /> and especially last two years when <br />844<br /> people talk about ai say uh human human <br />847<br /> being will be controlled by mushrooms i <br />850<br /> never think about that i think it's it's <br />852<br /> it's it's impossible <br />854<br /> right it's impossible because <br />856<br /> because human beings <br />859<br /> they are different <br />860<br /> machines are invented <br />863<br /> by human beings <br />865<br /> and according to the science right <br />868<br /> humans <br />869<br /> can never create another animal that is <br />871<br /> smarter than humans <br />873<br /> especially when you have so many smart <br />875<br /> people it's impossible to make another <br />877<br /> smart people i very much disagree with <br />880<br /> that okay yeah that's good <br />882<br /> yeah um <br />885<br /> i mean the first thing we should assume <br />887<br /> is that we are very dumb um and we can <br />889<br /> we can definitely make things smarter <br />890<br /> than ourselves i mean the <br />892<br /> they didn't used to be humans <br />894<br /> right so <br />896<br /> uh then our early civilization was very <br />899<br /> primitive <br />900<br /> um we didn't have any technology really <br />902<br /> we're just like running around you know <br />904<br /> trying to not get eaten or trying to <br />906<br /> survive a winter <br />908<br /> now we have like heating and we grow <br />910<br /> food this is all new stuff <br />912<br /> so <br />914<br /> you know things have obviously gotten <br />915<br /> way more smarter than the past way <br />916<br /> smarter <br />918<br /> so that's going to continue we're not <br />920<br /> the last step in evolution <br />921<br /> so <br />923<br /> the most important thing like i said the <br />924<br /> most important mistake i see smart <br />927<br /> people making is assuming that they're <br />928<br /> smart it's the not technology changes <br />930<br /> the world <br />931<br /> it's the dreams behind the technology <br />934<br /> that change the world so my my hope <br />938<br /> is that anything we can do <br />940<br /> is to improve this world <br />943<br /> to helping 7.4 billion people live <br />945<br /> better and live healthier trust the <br />948<br /> human beings <br />949<br /> and trust young people <br />951<br /> let's take responsibility for today but <br />954<br /> let's not take away all the solutions <br />956<br /> for tomorrow <br />957<br /> it's great human being make mistakes <br />961<br /> it's great human beings learn from <br />964<br /> mistakes <br />965<br /> it's great to die <br />968<br /> that's probably true thank you yeah you <br />970<br /> cannot live long i just like yeah <br />974<br /> thank you fight for the light of <br />975<br /> consciousness <br />979<br /> thank you:
