I wonder how can we conciliate this amplitude of knowledge between those who have it and those who have not. It is like we are having ALREADY several different subspecies that hardly can communicate with each other. What dialogue can have George John, for example, with a teenager from forests of Madagascar. I feel that if we do not pay attention in shrinking the know-how gap between "George John" and the teenager of Madagascar we are simply breaking the human link. Great and inspiring talk!

"More time at the beach" is a little too pat isn't it? As more jobs are automated people just slip into poverty. Without universally free education through grad school, a universal basic income, and universal health insurance, all this automation is just leading to an ultra wealthy elite.

I think you would be very interested in the talks going on nowadays about the future of education. Simply put, many of our great minds realize that our education system is still Industrial Age and that there needs to be a paradigm shift there, starting perhaps with e-schooling.

george john ! can't you see where this is going .........

This talk should be renamed to "The age of automation" - a programmed robot that does exactly one thing over and over is pure automation. Artifical intelligence is about abstraction and higher level learning.

Fantastic talk!

I think a good idea for progressing AI would be to create a website where people talk to a robot and another real person. Make it an anonymous conversation and have the people try and determine who the robot is. The robot would eventually learn the most human responses if it is made into a mini-game with millions of players or something like that.

Brilliant!

Interesting. I wonder if we will one day automate ourselves out of existence.

Interesting talk I was however very distracted by the "ah's and umm's"

Update: Computers beat go grandmasters

Very much the Mass Effect mantra.

Okay... humans seek perfection through technology Synthetics seek perfection through knowledge

More time at the beach? Eventually if robots are able to replace humans, in a much more significant way than computers did, we will see the gap between Rich & Poor increase. The love of Money is not only the root of all evil, but also the gasoline that drives the world, and as (Rich) businesses are able to use computers to replace human labor, jobs will become scarce and poverty will increase. Sadly, this will not be the deliverance from the bonds of the rich/poor division, it will increase it.

I hope so. However, I feel that if the persons do not know the basics it will be impossible to capture higher concepts...

Hey jazz, check out clever bot. Its based on that idea. Unfortunately as far as we know the behavioral approach doesn't work very for smart things. Its been used in video games with success but not many complex fields

the end of this video is very telling.. More time at the beach for who? The rich, so the dude is talking like replacing humans with robots is no big deal.. How are people going to make money?

Eloi, here we come.

A world where one can not just laze on a beach, but have more sex, less fatigue, and social time. But this will take time to achieve this in full. A practical application, would be an Expert System, to solve a myriad of photocopying issues - the self-guided photocopier.

im currently watching ghost in the shell and its lead to my peaked interest in a.i. thus why im watching such a niche video.fml

And here is another perspective, if robots had an opinion. A Mirror Cracked Trurl looked at himself in the mirror and admired the visage of a mighty constructor. “You are a mere bucket of bolts, and reflect on yourself too much!” said Klapaucius. “I am sure that if that were a real Trurl in that reflective space he would give you a well-deserved kick in the can!” Trurl ignored Klapaucius as he continued to admire the perfection of his soldering. “I think that in such a reserved space, he would reserve the flat of his foot for your own metal posterior!” “Then perhaps we can settle this by a thought experiment, which upon your reflection always turns into invention.” “And what do you suggest?” asked Trurl. “We are mechanical servos as you know,” said Klapaucius. “Copy our blueprints to the last bolt, circuit, and line of code, and we would be indistinguishable. Hand yourself a better mirror with a truer image and you would not see yourself, but a rival.” “Point well taken,” said Trurl. “And it is a hypothesis worth testing. I can design a better mirror, a truer mirror, containing not an image but a perfect visage, an emulation and replication. And I will include you too in the bargain, and prove myself right by the impact of my well placed boot!” Soon the mirror was complete, and the image of the two constructors, precise to the width of an atom, stood before them as pixel perfect images in the mirror. “We can see them,” said Trurl, “but they can’t see us. It’s in the design. Consciousness is enough for them without the need for self-consciousness! They will go about their business with the same motivations and prejudices as before, down to the last spark.” Trurl turned to Klapaucius with a fiendish grin. “Now to test the precision of the emulation by whacking you thusly,” as he arched his leg and gave Klapaucius a whack in his posterior. Klapaucius rolled on the floor, and craning himself up, gave a reciprocal whack to Trurl’s head, causing it to spin about like a top. “Take that, and that, and that!” they cried as they pummeled each other. In the meantime, their mirror images tussled as well, and the two constructors soon rose up to view their doppelgangers also rising up to view themselves in a mirror! “We are watching them while they are watching us! How can that be? You said they couldn’t notice our observation.” “Our observation yes,” said Trurl. “But they are not observing us, but a mirror image of their own emulation. I made them into a perfect copy, and that included the same experiment I created that recreated us!” “But that means…” “And infinite recursion, a series of Trurls and Klapaucius’ without end. A mirror image reflected in a mirror image and on and on, never ending, a procession into infinity!” “This is unconscionable,” said Klapaucius. “We shall be whacking each other, an infinite series of each other, forever.” “As it appears, but our numberless pairings will soon go about their business, forget about the magic mirror, and not think twice about how they came about.” “Not think twice! Trurl, you are delusional. We know that there are infinite parallel universes with infinite versions of you and me. But timelines can not only be lengthwise but sideways too, and we have just proven the latter.” “You don’t mean?” “Yes, we are being watched, at this moment, by ourselves! What makes you think we were the original actors in this play? If there are an infinite number of us to proceed from our path, who is to say there is not an infinite number of us that precede us?” “Then we are not the prime movers?” said Trurl. “Hardly!” said Klapaucius. “If one Trurl in any universe decides to emulate one Trurl, infinite Trurls must logically cascade. To wit, you dimwit, we are not alone, but can always observe ourselves and observe, and your stupid mirror is to blame.” “Then I will reverse the process and dissemble the image,” said Trurl. “And kill ourselves? You’ve set ourselves loose upon the universe, and we are the primary examples of this. Break your mirror you will break us!” “Then we are stuck in our perfect emulation, I suppose I could get used to it,” said Trurl. “I suppose we already have, nonetheless you now have someone else to think about when you admire yourself in the mirror!” From the sequel to Stanislaw Lem’s tales of erratic genius robots: www.scribd.com/document/317370297/Cyberiad-Squared-Fables-for-the-Information-Age

Great

you cant create machine which is thinking or desire something.You can make randomization witch will simulate or will copy people behavior but thats all - cant create conciousness

Dude, think for a bit. A robot like Sonny from I Robot won't be built over night. It'll take a long time, it will happen gradually. First there'll be robots that help human do repetitive tasks more easily. They'll still need someone to look after them and make sure they function correctly. As they become more intelligent, the human tasks will get easier. While this happens jobs have to be created in other sectors, such as IT, engineering, art, etc. (something that a robot cannot yet do).

I think it's trying to communicate something, somting about it's grandmother and her dog.

quick, invest in beach real estate.

17:55 computers beat go masters? footnote needed...

someone count how many times this guy says uh and um

Aged well

AI needs to finds us all work for both to stay alive.

More time at the beach? Really??

The simplest example of artificial intelligence is your burglar alarm-!

I still think AI is over hyped even with a few recent accomplishments. Many of things in AI were talked about 40 years ago and still have not happened. Most of the advances are simply from stronger hardware

"human use of human beings"...

That's great but how are all these people your replacing going to earn money?

Robots already paint new cars in the factory.

Automating everything might not give us more time at the beach. It will for some of us who control the technology. It will just make the lower class people ( without education or lower IQ ) obsolete. The future looks really bad for those who can not contribute anymore to further development of society. No more jobs for them could mean a bigger gap between rich and poor but could actually mean more time at the beach for jobless people when they all get wellfare. I guess there could be enough to go around when everything is automated that means that everything will also get cheaper so taking care of people without jobs would also be cheap.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

ahm ahm ahm ahm ahm ahm ahm

There isn't going to be a human level AI for at least 100 more years, if ever.

hate bots on gamble sites :(

Nowhere in the video was it said that A.I is the answer to the world's problems. It's your own fault for twisting the ideas. A.I.s can be of tremendous HELP to humanity. And while Deus Ex is a great game, its views are far too simplistic to reflect reality.

Robots don't buy cars. youtube

He doesn't seem to realize how many people are losing there jobs from autonomous programs...

Well, that makes sense since you don't even use correct grammar.

Human beings may not be perfect, but a computer program with language synthesis is hardly the answer to the world's problems.

Cool But Boring

Dudes a bad speaker

Unnecessary use of vocabulary, 5 yard penalty.

The love of Money is not only the root of all evil, but also the gasoline that drives the world, and as (Rich) businesses are able to use computers to replace human labor, jobs will become scarce and poverty will increase. Sadly, this will not be the deliverance from the bonds of the rich/poor division, it will increase it.
