Episode notes

"I don't think that path is really leading to artificial general intelligence," he says. "The thing they currently built is an entirely different type of thing from what general intelligence is" The hallucination problem will not go away, and we need new ideas about how to foster them in the future, Adam adds. 'It's amazing that it works as well as it does'

Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence is increasingly empowered to take control of various aspects of our lives. While some tech companies advocate for self-regulation regarding long-term risks, they conveniently overlook critical current concerns like the rampant spread of misinformation, biases in A.I. algorithms, and even A.I.-driven scams. In this episode, Adam is joined by cognitive scientist and esteemed A.I. expert Gary Marcus to enumerate the short and long-term risks posed by artificial intelligence.
