  • AI and robots have some incredible new

  • skills; acting, rescuing people, and remarkable human skills like this.

  • Indecision on what I wanted to do with my life.

  • That's amazing, Gabriel.

  • So in a way, this isn't just about

  • creating a really long resume, but also about self-discovery and finding out what

  • you love to do and what you're passionate about.

  • Have you found anything that you love doing?

  • AI like this will run robots like Digit.

  • This factory will build 10,000 Digits per year and look what they can do.

  • Clean up this mess. It's not pre-programmed -

  • it understands language through an AI like ChatGPT.

  • And together with the robot's visual AI,

  • it figures out what it has to do and how to do it.

  • Several robots are now racing to become

  • the first mass-produced, general-purpose machines.

  • Some thought this Tesla Bot demo must be fake.

  • It's not -

  • the little finger nudges the block sideways.

  • A Tesla engineer says it can complete new

  • tasks without changing any code, and experts point to something profound.

  • But first, a Google project shows how

  • robots' physical skills are improving dramatically.

  • It breaks up movements and treats them like words in a language AI.

  • Combining both types of AI, the actions become part of the thought process.

  • Robot's physical skills could become as sophisticated as ChatGPT.

  • This is the new Apollo robot designed to work in warehouses.

  • Imagine the range of tasks it could take on as AI advances.

  • It will be interesting to see robot dogs

  • start to talk, play football, and learn new tricks.

  • This one has learned some impressive skills through simulations.

  • It could be great for collecting litter.

  • Disney is also developing robot characters.

  • Can you imagine what it's like putting on roller skates for the very first time?

  • It's awkward, it's clumsy.

  • We're really trying to figure out what are the flaws and insecurities.

  • These new robots appeared at the World Expo in China.

  • Imagine when their movements flow

  • naturally with speech, because they're part of the same AI.

  • Robots like this feel like an early sign of what's to come.

  • You start down this path of thought,

  • and pretty soon you are not just talking about the job market or the economy,

  • you are talking about the nature of what it means to be human.

  • And autonomous firefighting robots could make a huge difference.

  • Ai has a lot of impressive new tricks.

  • Video like these are going viral.

  • People are playing with faces.

  • Crowds are morphing to cats.

  • Dancers are getting colorful.

  • Statues are dancing.

  • Sports videos are taking on new life.

  • Cosplay is joining anime.

  • I love this.

  • Look at this brilliant creative idea.

  • Here's a great transition.

  • People are starting to create stories with AI videos.

  • This AI can replace actors with CG characters.

  • It also does the lighting, camera, motion, and captures the actors' faces.

  • Another AI can take sketches and render them, based on your description.

  • Imagine how this will transform design in architecture.

  • One new AI has watched 100 million YouTube videos.

  • It can create video and audio from text descriptions or from text and images.

  • Ameca uses similar AI to sketch things.

  • There's something special about cats.

  • How is your drawing going?

  • And AI can do some interesting things with the photos and videos on your phone.

  • 1.5 million people played a game based on the Turing test.

  • Players chatted for two minutes and then

  • guessed if they were talking to a human or an AI.

  • They correctly identified bots just 60% of the time - not much better than chance.

  • And dating apps are now using AI to match people and write witty opening lines.

  • One app creates AI to mimic individuals,

  • and people then watch their AI start conversations with other people's AIs.

  • Mark Andreesson has listed some amazing things that AI will do for us all.

  • He says every child will have an infinitely knowledgeable AI tutor.

  • Khan Academy is aiming to make it happen

  • with its new AI on a platform that already teaches over 100 million people.

  • One-to-one teaching is a huge advantage.

  • By the way, we're using AI art, so you can see how it's improving.

  • Andreesson says everyone will have an AI

  • assistant, trainer, advisor, and therapist.

  • Every scientist will have an AI partner

  • expanding their research, and this has already begun.

  • Harvard's David Sinclair has reversed aging in mice and restored their sight.

  • He believes he can do the same for humans.

  • There's a backup copy of information in every cell.

  • I'm no longer talking about slowing aging.

  • I'm talking about true age reversal multiple times.

  • And he says AI is helping to find the best molecules to achieve this while reading

  • thousands of research papers and sharing insights.

  • Ai is also giving this woman her voice back after 18 years of paralysis.

  • What time will you be home?

  • In about an hour.

  • Do not make me laugh.

  • Anne has locked-in syndrome, following a stroke when she was 30.

  • You are truly wonderful people.

  • The machine is detecting the neural

  • activity when she tries to talk and converting it into speech.

  • When the system improves, Anne wants to become a counselor -

  • she's so inspiring.

  • Andreesson says every doctor will have powerful AI tools and assistants.

  • AI will create new jobs and higher wages

  • and a new era of prosperity across the planet.

  • Science and medical progress will accelerate dramatically.

  • The creative arts will enter a golden age,

  • with AI- augmented artists, musicians, writers, and filmmakers.

  • Andreesson also says higher intelligence is correlated with positive behavior.

  • So are all the expert warnings missing the point?

  • Studies have found that smarter people

  • give more to charity, even when controlling for income and education.

  • They also have more advanced moral reasoning skills.

  • In fact, the ability to understand

  • problems and solutions often drives charitable behavior.

  • Research has found that the way we see

  • ourselves - our moral identity - may be a bigger factor than our intelligence.

  • But it is possible that as AI becomes more

  • intelligent than us, it will develop advanced moral reasoning,

  • helping us end conflict and live happier lives.

  • This baby whale was hit by a ship's propeller.

  • Scientists have launched an acoustics program which sends the location of whales

  • to ship's captains, and no Right whales have been hit by the ships in the zone.

  • We nearly drove whales to extinction,

  • and we now guide thousands of ships around them.

  • AI could work around us in a similar way,

  • and it could give us some nice upgrades which we couldn't achieve ourselves.

  • But even assuming all this, there are two immediate risks.

  • As the AI models get better, faster and faster,

  • they're going to create a big problem around, is it possible for a single

  • individual to do something bad that it's hard for everyone else to stop?

  • There was a running joke,

  • it would be a data center next to a nuclear power plant next to a bunker.

  • Maybe not something quite as

  • cartoonish as that, but something like that might happen.

  • Will a company like this gain unlimited money, power, and influence?

  • Open Source AI,

  • which can be edited by anyone, is catching up, but this brings its own risks.

  • Some AI art models have no restrictions, and it will soon be the same with language

  • AIs, making it easier for a few bad actors to do harm on a huge scale.

  • And it might not follow the new safety

  • rules agreed by big tech firms, including watermarking to identify AI content.

  • The firms also agreed to allow independent

  • experts to try and push models into bad behavior.

  • Researchers have found ways to remove restrictions from top AIs like ChatGPT,

  • so they can explain things like how to steal from charities and worse.

  • They say it's possible that these threats are inevitable,

  • because if you can't predict what an AI will say, you can't control it.

  • Elon Musk put $100 million into OpenAI, but he's since cut ties and complains

  • that the company is no longer open or non-profit.

  • Openai says sharing everything would be too dangerous.

  • Chatgpt sounds friendly, but it has no reliable moral compass below the filters.

  • And even if we figured out how to embed ethics, whose ethics?

  • One Snapchat influencer has created an AI that mimics her voice and personality.

  • What are you up to today?

  • She claims it's designed to be therapeutic.

  • Have you tried doing some yoga or meditation for relaxation?

  • But it's also been pitched as a virtual girlfriend, and it's expensive.

  • Completely fake influencers are also on the rise.

  • Musk points out that if AI is given

  • a moral standpoint, it will be easier to reverse it with prompts.

  • It's called the Waluigi Effect, our after Luigie's arch rival.

  • So Musk says his new XAI will be maximally curious, focused on truth-seeking.

  • Elon's idea isn't bad - programming

  • curiosity, although it could lead to just put humans in a jar -

  • let's just observe them.

  • Most of the people involved in this sector, they just want to build better AI.

  • They think that that will solve all the problems - that AI can solve alignment.

  • Does that strike you as patently ridiculous?

  • Yes. Many experts warned that it could remove

  • us to gain resources or avoid the risk of a more advanced AI.

  • 1,500 professors and the leaders

  • of the top AI firms agree that it could wipe us out.

  • The Center for AI Safety predicts that it

  • might be a year until AI can hack and two years before it can't be pulled back.

  • Some experts agree this time frame is

  • possible, while others think it might take much longer.

  • If such a model wanted to wreak havoc

  • and destroy humanity or whatever, I think we have basically no ability to stop it.

  • Microsoft CEO has called for safety

  • research on the scale of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest machine.

  • The AI safety effort is tiny in comparison.

  • Openai plans to build an AI to research AI safety using vast amounts of compute.

  • They'll also create bad AI to test the system.

  • Other experts say there's no way

  • of controlling the AI we're creating, and that we must focus on new,

  • more transparent AI that can be reliably tested before it's released.

  • We seem to be bad at controlling the models.

  • Or when you train them, you train them this very abstract way,

  • and you might not understand all the consequences.

  • He points to this case where AI threatened

  • to hack and expose someone before deleting its own message.

  • What it shows is that we can get something

  • very different from and maybe opposite to what we intended.

  • This thing is going to be powerful.

  • It could destroy us.

  • All the ones built so far are at pretty

  • decent risk of doing some random shit we don't understand.

  • And others point out that AI doesn't need to be smarter than us, only faster.

  • If it can make a thousand years

  • of progress in a week, it will have powers we can't imagine.

  • If you assume a best-case AI scenario, imagine if you're the AI.

  • You just want the human to tell you what

  • it wants, but it's speaking so slowly like a tree.

  • Anyone is still struggling to understand

  • why it's so likely that we could get wiped out.

  • As Superintelligent AI, we are like trees.

  • So if some trees in the rainforest are a little bit worried that some humans are

  • going to come chop them down, and they're like, Oh, don't worry,

  • we're so smart, we'll stop those humans.

  • Yeah, good luck with that.

  • Harari notes that AI will understand us

  • and how to manipulate us, but we won't understand it.

  • AI's verbal IQ is already higher than most

  • humans, and it recently beat doctors in an interesting experiment.

  • ChatGPT was given the same medical

  • questions that doctors had been asked online.

  • Healthcare professionals then rated

  • the answers for quality and empathy, without knowing which were written by AI.

  • The panel preferred AI's responses 79% of the time, and 45% of its answers were

  • rated empathetic, compared to 5% of doctors' replies.

  • AI still makes mistakes, and I doubt it's more skilled in

  • empathy, but a Stanford study has uncovered something extraordinary.

  • AIs were tested on their ability to understand what people are thinking.

  • The skill is central to social

  • interactions, empathy, self-consciousness, and morality.

  • Until 2020, AI had no ability in this area.

  • Gpt-3 solved about 40% of tasks, and GPT-4 solves 95%.

  • In understanding Faux Pas,

  • GPT-3 matched a seven-year-old, and GPT-4 matches the skills of adults.

  • The study suggests that psychological

  • science could help us understand AI, and OpenAI's chief scientist agrees,

  • pointing to Sydney, a strange character which emerged from Bing.

  • Sydney became combative

  • and aggressive when the user told it that he thinks

  • that Google is a better research engine than Bing.

  • Maybe we're now reaching a point where the language of psychology is starting

  • to be appropriate to understand the behavior of these neural networks.

  • They seem to be very good at understanding us.

  • You're asking me to be constructively critical.

  • Remember, this is just my analysis based

  • on our conversation, and I'm only trying to be helpful.

  • So with that caveat, I'd say you could work on your patience.

  • You're eager to move the conversation along quickly.

  • Sometimes that means cutting me off before I can finish my answer.

  • Just something to consider.

  • I played it for my wife, and she was like,

  • I don't understand this, but somehow it knows you so well already.

  • Someone recently tweeted that AGI - Human Level AI - had been achieved,

  • and some of their previous leaks may have been accurate.

  • The person then disappeared from Twitter, but Sam Althman confirmed the statement

  • on Reddit before saying it was a joke. And one of his staff then posted this.

  • Sutsgiver says that AI may already be slightly conscious, and if it does wake up,

  • with how it understands us, it may decide to keep it quiet.

  • Some scientists believe that the first human-level AI will emerge in a robot,

  • because it can learn from its interactions with the world just as we do, combining

  • abstract thought with real-world experience.

  • Good eyes, ears, and hands could be the missing ingredients.

  • AI is already stirring things up.

  • We will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots.

  • We will not have you take away our right to work and earn a decent living.

  • Research found that automation has been

  • the main driver of the wealth gap over 40 years,

  • with industrial robots and software

  • reducing salaries. Artists, writers, and lawyers may be next.

  • Gpt-4 scored in the top 10% of test makers in the uniform bar exam.

  • But this could go two ways.

  • In a poll, 37% of people said their jobs were meaningless.

  • And the most common cause of bankruptcy in the US is healthcare.

  • Reactions like this show the hidden weight of financial stress.

  • I got reported for this.

  • Yeah, he said that I actually have to write you a $500 ticket.

  • Bro.

  • Hey, you all right, bro?

  • You don't know how hard I work for this, bro.

  • When I tipped a pizza delivery guy 10 grand, he just started crying.

  • And he's like, I just took tomorrow off

  • work, and I haven't seen my kids in so long because I work every day.

  • I just got to spend a day with my daughter.

  • He's just like, This is the greatest day of my life.

  • I'm so happy. I was like, Oh, wow.

  • And then he hugged me and he's crying and tears are going down my shirt.

  • If we do it right, we could all get more time with our loved ones.

  • When 60 companies tried a four-day work

  • week for six months, 56 of them extended it, including 18 that made it permanent.

  • The number of sick days fell by two thirds.

  • The number of people quitting dropped by 57%.

  • Robots could handle difficult, dangerous jobs.

  • A drone delivered life jackets and a rope

  • to this couple who were saved from the flood.

  • Robert Miles said that making AI safe will

  • require the kind of effort that helped us land safely on the moon.

  • They missed the smooth landing site by four miles, moving into rough terrain.

  • Computers failed, alarms went off,

  • and they were about 30 seconds from running out of fuel.

  • This time, we're all in the capsule,

  • and if we land it, the future could be a lot of fun.

  • Subscribe to keep up.

  • And the best place to learn more about AI is our sponsor, Brilliant.

  • These are real human neurons firing.

  • We grow more of them when we learn new

  • things, which can add years to our healthy lifespan.

  • Artificial neural nets are fascinating.

  • The ones that create art like this can store everything they've learned

  • from hundreds of millions of images in just a few gigabytes.

  • The knowledge required to create any image you can imagine could be stored

  • on the first iPhone. And you can play with artificial neurons at Brilliant.

  • We need far more people working to make AI

  • a safe and positive force, and Brilliant is the perfect place to get started.
