Explore the current limitations of artificial intelligence and the possibility of creating human-compatible technology.

--

In the coming years, artificial intelligence is probably going to change your life— and likely the entire world. But people have a hard time agreeing on exactly how AI will affect our society. Can we build AI systems that help us fix the world? Or are we doomed to a robotic takeover? Explore the limitations of artificial intelligence and the possibility of creating human-compatible technology.

This video is based on interview excerpts from the Radio Davos Podcast. The episode is called, “The promises and perils of AI - Stuart Russell on Radio Davos”.

  • Huge props for making the robot both terrifying and, paradoxically, incredibly adorable!
  • @rajusual
    I love how Ted Ed comes with a new animation style for each of its videos.

    As Stephen Hawking said : "If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed.Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."
  • "I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."  —John D. Rockefeller, 1903 First wanting people to be robots.. now wanting robots to be more like people. But still not wanting either one to think too much. This certainly is a curious simulation we're in.
  • Auto wasn't the villain in story Wall-E, he was just carrying his objective.
  • Wall•e is such a good film! I remember it being my favorite while I was growing up. But only later I realized how deep the significance of what it portrays runs. It's kinda scary.
  • @CowboyOdie
    This reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (published in 1979). Arthur asked the ships computer for a cup of tea that actually tastes like tea. The computer was so perplexed it turned off all other systems just to make the tea. Killing the crew or crashing the ship wasn't even a consideration.
  • AGI will be here this decade. The idea that it's even 20 years away is insane! People aren't taking into account that we have had incredible advancements in AI almost every week for the last year! And it's only accelerating. We're at the very start of an exponential curve. Watch this space!
  • @jessed1709
    The quality of animation on this channel is incredible.
  • Machine: What is my purpose? Rick Sanchez: You pass butter Machine: Oh my God!
  • @discursion
    It's kinda fun how the General AI problem is basically a reformulation of the Genie in a Bottle dilemma.
  • I personally believe that it will not take as long as we might initially think. The AI we have and the regular computing power along with the new quantum computers will help as tools and will enhance our endeavors. However I feel we are hurtling towards a very scary time indeed.
  • @ronkirk5099
    First, let me say I'm not anti-tech (I'm a retired engineer), but I admit, I'm a little apprehensive about the wide spread use of AI and how there may be unintended consequences. Fortunately being 72 years old, I probably won't be around if 'the singularity' (in the 'out of control tech' sense of the word) occurs as a result.
  • I think this video raises very valud issues with AI. AI can defiantly be really cool and help us advance as a civilization, but if we overuse it or use it inadequately it can bring our ruin as well. Maybe we should just use it where it's obviously needed and useful, rather than a cheapskate trick to replace art, fire workers or do things in general we're either too lazy or to cheap to do ourselves.
  • @Taibo1986
    This video had excellent animation. It coupled with the narration so well by mixing abstract art with litteral representations seamlessly.
  • @sanne120499
    About the coffee scenario at the beginninng, this is ChatGPT's answer: As an AI language model, I don't have a physical form and I don't have the ability to perform physical tasks like getting a cup of coffee. However, if I were a physical robot programmed to get coffee, I would follow my programming and attempt to retrieve the coffee from another store or find an alternative solution for you. If I were unable to do so, I would inform you of the situation and discuss possible alternatives with you.
  • @ChezTheDude
    The animation in these videos are always great but this animation has to be one of, if not my favorite. Wonderful job as always!
  • @grapeshott
    Summary: 1. The certainty of objective completion by an AI can make it psychopathic. It doesn't know what we care about, aside from the exact objective. 2. Effect of AI? e.g. Technological unemployment(Aristotle and Keynes) 3. What if we forget how to run our civilisation, if machines run our civilisation, and we become infantalised(similar to Wall E)? This chain of training until now has continued for 10s of thousands of Years. 4. When will general purpose AI arrive?
  • @LeoAngora
    Animation and music were so cool that I want a version with the interview audio just for contemplation.
  • @jakemorris111
    Super well done to the team of animators! I'm floored at the illustrations and lighting effects you guys pulled off. Absolutely inspirational.
