The A.I. Monologues: with James Whittaker
In this talk, James Whittaker presents the case for AI being our best (and perhaps only) way out of the dysfunction of modern society. To accomplish this, he will tell the origin story of extra-human intelligence with approachable science and zero bullshit. He then delves into the utopian vision of AI creating a world of leisure and abundance before shattering that vision as impractical (history is clear on this point: humans cannot be trusted to do the right thing). We end up in a familiar place where technology creates both evil and good in measures. The great challenge of mankind is tipping these scales in favor of good and the guardrails, laws and safeguards necessary to do this are discussed.
You’ll learn:
How knowledge escaped its human host and found itself in the clutches of machines
How machine “brains” work and why they outperform human gray matter
Why AI is so much more powerful than ordinary software
How AI can lessen human toil and unleash our creativity
How AI can optimize human well being, both mental and physical
How AI can create wealth that eliminates the need for all taxation
What life could be like as we cohabitate with AI
