What We Get Wrong About AI (feat. former Google CEO)

As an European, building this system on "American values instead of Chinese values" sounds pretty much as terrifying to me.

I remember a lot of the recent AI milestones were described as "perpetually 10 years away". It feels so strange it's now upon us.

The Google CEO saying that he wants AI research to go ahead just so China doesn’t get there first is exactly like the arms race all over again, if not more dangerous. I don’t think anyone’s saying we shouldn’t develop AI in the future, I think we just need to understand what it can do and how to control it first

I just want a talking refrigerator named Shelby

Cleo's enthusiasm is addicting 😍 She could be talking about dirt and make it sound ultra exciting 😁

As a tech guy, I am constantly asked about AI and what it can do. I am just going to send this video as a primer for people now. This is fantastically done

I would love to see how AI can assist with research with diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or MS

I can't help but compare - especially upon watching Oppenheimer - the creation of nuclear weapons to the creation of AI. Both are double edged swords (nuclear powerplants), could be dangerous and the reasoning is always if we don't do it, somone with worse intentions will.

AI itself never looked like a bad thing to me, it was always the way people used it that looked troubling. For example how some use it to create "art" by training the AI with images that they had no legal right to use. Over all AI can be an amazing thing it's just that with it's development we should also have new laws so it can't be misused, at least in ways that we know of.

There's an important point that this short video almost touches on but doesn't explore, and it's one of most serious dangers of AI. Cleo mentions that AI gets to the result but we don't understand how it did. What this means is that we also don't understand the ways it catastrophically fails, sometimes with the smallest deviation applied to its inputs. An adversarial attack is when you take a valid input (a photo for example) that you know the output for (let's say the label "panda"). Then you make tiny changes in just the right places, in ways that even you can't see because they're so small on the pixel level, and now the AI says this is a photo of a gibbon. Now imagine your car's AI getting confused on the road and deciding to veer off into traffic. I hope Cleo covers this, because it's really important. To learn more, look up "AI panda gibbon" online and you'll find images about this research.

What surprises me is that the risk of AI pushing millions of people into unemployment, and the subsequent social/economic impact it could have, is barely talked about.

Very first video I have seen of yours. Great content! I had to pause at the credits to say nice job and thank you for the awesome stuff. I loved hearing from Mr. Schmidt, the video editing, artwork, and animations were really well done so I wanted to shout out the entire team. Awesome job Cleo, Justin, Logen, Nicole, and Whitney! Amazing team you got. I can't wait to watch more <3

I love Cleo's take on journalism: Optimistic but not naive! It is not only informative but also inspiring! ❤

The metaphor with the trolley problem is flipped. We are straight headed into one AI future, and would have to steer really hard, if we want to avoid one.

I think the greatest safeguard to the unintended consequences of AI is to limit what it has access to or the things it can physically influence. For example while it studied the patterns of human proteins and made predictions it didn't bio engineer humanity as it only had access to its own simulation and could only physically influence computer screens for display.

hopeful but scared at the same time..

Love your reporting Cleo. The enthusiasm and optimism you bring into your videos is contagious!

As always, a well balanced and honest look into something that’s very confusing. Love this show!

Super thought engaging videos. I love this very personal style of compiling hard facts and deep questions into a super compact format. Very well done!

Can’t wait for the follow ups to this. You managed to rightfully concern me and excite me all in one video 😂
