Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
so that it becomes as good as possible at this thing.
1:07:12.920
1:07:15.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So if you think of a landscape with some valley,
1:07:15.080
1:07:19.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
where each dimension of the landscape
1:07:20.720
1:07:22.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
corresponds to some number you can change,
1:07:22.120
1:07:24.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
you're trying to find the minimum.
1:07:24.120
1:07:25.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And it's well known that
1:07:25.640
1:07:26.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if you have a very high dimensional landscape,
1:07:26.760
1:07:29.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
complicated things, it's super hard to find the minimum.
1:07:29.040
1:07:31.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Quantum mechanics is amazingly good at this.
1:07:31.840
1:07:35.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Like if I want to know what's the lowest energy state
1:07:35.840
1:07:38.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
this water can possibly have,
1:07:38.240
1:07:39.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
incredibly hard to compute,
1:07:41.720
1:07:42.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but nature will happily figure this out for you
1:07:42.560
1:07:45.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if you just cool it down, make it very, very cold.
1:07:45.400
1:07:48.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
If you put a ball somewhere,
1:07:49.800
1:07:50.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
it'll roll down to its minimum.
1:07:50.880
1:07:52.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And this happens metaphorically
1:07:52.240
1:07:54.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
at the energy landscape too.
1:07:54.280
1:07:56.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And quantum mechanics even uses some clever tricks,
1:07:56.320
1:07:59.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
which today's machine learning systems don't.
1:07:59.280
1:08:02.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Like if you're trying to find the minimum
1:08:02.520
1:08:04.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and you get stuck in the little local minimum here,
1:08:04.160
1:08:06.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in quantum mechanics you can actually tunnel
1:08:06.960
1:08:08.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
through the barrier and get unstuck again.
1:08:08.760
1:08:11.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That's really interesting.
1:08:13.480
1:08:14.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah, so it may be, for example,
1:08:14.320
1:08:16.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that we'll one day use quantum computers
1:08:16.120
1:08:19.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that help train neural networks better.
1:08:19.160
1:08:22.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That's really interesting.
1:08:22.840
1:08:23.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Okay, so as a component of kind of the learning process,
1:08:23.680
1:08:27.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
for example.
1:08:27.040
1:08:27.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah.
1:08:27.880
1:08:29.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Let me ask sort of wrapping up here a little bit,
1:08:29.440
1:08:33.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
let me return to the questions of our human nature
1:08:33.080
1:08:36.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and love, as I mentioned.
1:08:36.880
1:08:40.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So do you think,
1:08:40.000
1:08:41.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
you mentioned sort of a helper robot,
1:08:44.280
1:08:46.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but you could think of also personal robots.
1:08:46.000
1:08:48.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Do you think the way we human beings fall in love
1:08:48.640
1:08:52.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and get connected to each other
1:08:52.480
1:08:54.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is possible to achieve in an AI system
1:08:54.680
1:08:58.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and human level AI intelligence system?
1:08:58.040
1:09:00.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Do you think we would ever see that kind of connection?
1:09:00.360
1:09:03.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Or, you know, in all this discussion
1:09:03.720
1:09:06.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about solving complex goals,
1:09:06.160
1:09:08.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is this kind of human social connection,
1:09:08.520
1:09:10.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
do you think that's one of the goals
1:09:10.760
1:09:12.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
on the peaks and valleys with the raising sea levels
1:09:12.560
1:09:16.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that we'll be able to achieve?
1:09:16.280
1:09:17.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Or do you think that's something that's ultimately,
1:09:17.360
1:09:20.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or at least in the short term,
1:09:20.040
1:09:21.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
relative to the other goals is not achievable?
1:09:21.760
1:09:23.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think it's all possible.
1:09:23.640
1:09:25.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And I mean, in recent,
1:09:25.120
1:09:27.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
there's a very wide range of guesses, as you know,
1:09:27.600
1:09:30.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
among AI researchers, when we're going to get AGI.
1:09:30.840
1:09:33.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Some people, you know, like our friend Rodney Brooks
1:09:35.120
1:09:37.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
says it's going to be hundreds of years at least.
1:09:37.640
1:09:41.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And then there are many others
1:09:41.040
1:09:42.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
who think it's going to happen much sooner.
1:09:42.200
1:09:44.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And recent polls,
1:09:44.040
1:09:45.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
maybe half or so of AI researchers
1:09:46.840
1:09:48.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
think we're going to get AGI within decades.
1:09:48.640
1:09:50.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So if that happens, of course,
1:09:50.920
1:09:52.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
then I think these things are all possible.
1:09:52.720
1:09:55.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But in terms of whether it will happen,
1:09:55.040
1:09:56.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think we shouldn't spend so much time asking
1:09:56.840
1:10:00.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
what do we think will happen in the future?
1:10:00.600
1:10:03.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
As if we are just some sort of pathetic,
1:10:03.240
1:10:05.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
your passive bystanders, you know,
1:10:05.160
1:10:07.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
waiting for the future to happen to us.
1:10:07.040
1:10:09.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Hey, we're the ones creating this future, right?
1:10:09.280
1:10:11.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So we should be proactive about it
1:10:11.640
1:10:15.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and ask ourselves what sort of future
1:10:15.520
1:10:16.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
we would like to have happen.
1:10:16.920
1:10:18.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
We're going to make it like that.
1:10:18.240
1:10:19.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Well, what I prefer is just some sort of incredibly boring,
1:10:19.920
1:10:22.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
zombie like future where there's all these
1:10:22.720
1:10:24.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
mechanical things happening and there's no passion,
1:10:24.320
1:10:26.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
no emotion, no experience, maybe even.
1:10:26.040
1:10:28.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
No, I would of course, much rather prefer it
1:10:29.600
1:10:32.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if all the things that we find that we value the most
1:10:32.040
1:10:35.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about humanity are our subjective experience,
1:10:36.240
1:10:40.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
passion, inspiration, love, you know.
1:10:40.680
1:10:43.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
If we can create a future where those things do happen,
1:10:43.000
1:10:48.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
where those things do exist, you know,
1:10:48.000
1:10:50.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think ultimately it's not our universe
1:10:50.840
1:10:54.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
giving meaning to us, it's us giving meaning to our universe.
1:10:54.560
1:10:57.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And if we build more advanced intelligence,
1:10:57.960
1:11:01.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
let's make sure we build it in such a way
1:11:01.840
1:11:03.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that meaning is part of it.
1:11:03.680
1:11:08.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
A lot of people that seriously study this problem
1:11:09.120
1:11:11.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and think of it from different angles
1:11:11.400
1:11:13.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
have trouble in the majority of cases,
1:11:13.600
1:11:16.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if they think through that happen,
1:11:16.880
1:11:19.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
are the ones that are not beneficial to humanity.
1:11:19.160
1:11:22.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And so, yeah, so what are your thoughts?
1:11:22.520
1:11:25.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
What's should people, you know,
1:11:25.560
1:11:29.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I really don't like people to be terrified.
1:11:29.400
1:11:32.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
What's a way for people to think about it
1:11:33.440
1:11:35.040
