Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in a way we can solve it and we can make it better?
1:11:35.040
1:11:39.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
No, I don't think panicking is going to help in any way.
1:11:39.600
1:11:42.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's not going to increase chances
1:11:42.960
1:11:44.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of things going well either.
1:11:44.840
1:11:45.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Even if you are in a situation where there is a real threat,
1:11:45.880
1:11:48.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
does it help if everybody just freaks out?
1:11:48.400
1:11:51.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
No, of course, of course not.
1:11:51.080
1:11:52.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think, yeah, there are of course ways
1:11:53.640
1:11:56.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in which things can go horribly wrong.
1:11:56.600
1:11:58.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
First of all, it's important when we think about this thing,
1:11:59.560
1:12:03.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about the problems and risks,
1:12:03.680
1:12:05.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to also remember how huge the upsides can be
1:12:05.280
1:12:07.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if we get it right, right?
1:12:07.160
1:12:08.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Everything we love about society and civilization
1:12:08.440
1:12:12.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is a product of intelligence.
1:12:12.360
1:12:13.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So if we can amplify our intelligence
1:12:13.400
1:12:15.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
with machine intelligence and not anymore lose our loved one
1:12:15.320
1:12:18.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to what we're told is an incurable disease
1:12:18.760
1:12:21.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and things like this, of course, we should aspire to that.
1:12:21.080
1:12:24.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So that can be a motivator, I think,
1:12:24.800
1:12:26.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
reminding ourselves that the reason we try to solve problems
1:12:26.680
1:12:29.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is not just because we're trying to avoid gloom,
1:12:29.120
1:12:33.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but because we're trying to do something great.
1:12:33.520
1:12:35.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But then in terms of the risks,
1:12:35.760
1:12:37.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think the really important question is to ask,
1:12:37.680
1:12:42.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
what can we do today that will actually help
1:12:42.680
1:12:45.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
make the outcome good, right?
1:12:45.480
1:12:47.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And dismissing the risk is not one of them.
1:12:47.320
1:12:49.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I find it quite funny often when I'm in discussion panels
1:12:51.240
1:12:54.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about these things,
1:12:54.800
1:12:55.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
how the people who work for companies,
1:12:55.960
1:13:00.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
always be like, oh, nothing to worry about,
1:13:01.200
1:13:03.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about.
1:13:03.120
1:13:04.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And it's only academics sometimes express concerns.
1:13:04.760
1:13:09.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That's not surprising at all if you think about it.
1:13:09.600
1:13:11.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Right.
1:13:11.880
1:13:12.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Upton Sinclair quipped, right,
1:13:12.880
1:13:15.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that it's hard to make a man believe in something
1:13:15.200
1:13:18.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
when his income depends on not believing in it.
1:13:18.040
1:13:20.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And frankly, we know a lot of these people in companies
1:13:20.120
1:13:24.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that they're just as concerned as anyone else.
1:13:24.080
1:13:26.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But if you're the CEO of a company,
1:13:26.240
1:13:28.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that's not something you want to go on record saying
1:13:28.480
1:13:30.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
when you have silly journalists who are gonna put a picture
1:13:30.280
1:13:33.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of a Terminator robot when they quote you.
1:13:33.440
1:13:35.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So the issues are real.
1:13:35.720
1:13:39.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And the way I think about what the issue is,
1:13:39.040
1:13:41.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is basically the real choice we have is,
1:13:41.920
1:13:46.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
first of all, are we gonna just dismiss the risks
1:13:48.040
1:13:50.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and say, well, let's just go ahead and build machines
1:13:50.840
1:13:54.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that can do everything we can do better and cheaper.
1:13:54.480
1:13:57.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Let's just make ourselves obsolete as fast as possible.
1:13:57.560
1:14:00.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
What could possibly go wrong?
1:14:00.200
1:14:01.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That's one attitude.
1:14:01.720
1:14:03.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
The opposite attitude, I think, is to say,
1:14:03.440
1:14:05.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
here's this incredible potential,
1:14:06.400
1:14:08.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
let's think about what kind of future
1:14:08.800
1:14:11.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
we're really, really excited about.
1:14:11.960
1:14:14.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
What are the shared goals that we can really aspire towards?
1:14:14.640
1:14:18.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And then let's think really hard
1:14:18.480
1:14:19.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about how we can actually get there.
1:14:19.960
1:14:22.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So start with, don't start thinking about the risks,
1:14:22.000
1:14:24.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
start thinking about the goals.
1:14:24.160
1:14:26.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And then when you do that,
1:14:26.720
1:14:28.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
then you can think about the obstacles you want to avoid.
1:14:28.200
1:14:30.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I often get students coming in right here into my office
1:14:30.480
1:14:32.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
for career advice.
1:14:32.840
1:14:34.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I always ask them this very question,
1:14:34.120
1:14:35.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
where do you want to be in the future?
1:14:35.560
1:14:37.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
If all she can say is, oh, maybe I'll have cancer,
1:14:37.920
1:14:40.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
maybe I'll get run over by a truck.
1:14:40.640
1:14:42.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah, focus on the obstacles instead of the goals.
1:14:42.480
1:14:44.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
She's just going to end up a hypochondriac paranoid.
1:14:44.280
1:14:46.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Whereas if she comes in and fire in her eyes
1:14:47.920
1:14:49.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and is like, I want to be there.
1:14:49.920
1:14:51.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And then we can talk about the obstacles
1:14:51.840
1:14:53.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and see how we can circumvent them.
1:14:53.960
1:14:55.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That's, I think, a much, much healthier attitude.
1:14:55.760
1:14:58.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And I feel it's very challenging to come up with a vision
1:14:58.880
1:15:03.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
for the future, which we are unequivocally excited about.
1:15:03.880
1:15:08.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm not just talking now in the vague terms,
1:15:08.120
1:15:10.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
like, yeah, let's cure cancer, fine.
1:15:10.320
1:15:12.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm talking about what kind of society
1:15:12.360
1:15:14.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
do we want to create?
1:15:14.720
1:15:15.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
What do we want it to mean to be human in the age of AI,
1:15:15.840
1:15:20.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in the age of AGI?
1:15:20.360
1:15:21.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So if we can have this conversation,
1:15:22.840
1:15:25.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
broad, inclusive conversation,
1:15:25.360
1:15:28.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and gradually start converging towards some,
1:15:28.200
1:15:31.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
some future that with some direction, at least,
1:15:31.400
1:15:34.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that we want to steer towards, right,
1:15:34.240
1:15:35.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
then we'll be much more motivated
1:15:35.400
1:15:38.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to constructively take on the obstacles.
1:15:38.160
1:15:39.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And I think if I had, if I had to,
1:15:39.960
1:15:43.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if I try to wrap this up in a more succinct way,
1:15:43.560
1:15:46.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think we can all agree already now
1:15:46.640
1:15:51.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that we should aspire to build AGI
1:15:51.480
1:15:56.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that doesn't overpower us, but that empowers us.
1:15:56.160
1:16:05.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And think of the many various ways that can do that,
1:16:05.160
1:16:08.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
whether that's from my side of the world
1:16:08.560
1:16:11.000
