What makes something intelligent?” “We, as humans, have become the measure of intelligence. We’ve created these metrics, these numbers, and said, ‘This is what is smart, and then you’re all stupid.'” “Nature has more for us to learn from than any of this other stuff. We think we’re brilliant because we created the internet, the atomic age.” Corrales Cachola: “There is no culture, there’s no community around AI, it’s just how can I get mine, and how can I be better than the next guy?” “So AI comes along, and a lot of the decision-makers say, hey, we can basically replace you. Well, they’ve already replaced these people, they’re already using them, and I think that’s the unfair thing about AI.” “That’s why I don’t like a lot of the AI implementation, even in the toolsets that we use, the SaaS tools that we see. It’s like, did I ask for this? No, no one asked for this, they just built it in, they baked it in.” ====================== 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #ai #hollywood #techpodcasts

"It was a really incredible way for him to see just how rich the experience can be with creators when you tap into their fandom." "You don't have any connection to the fans who actually consume that content because the streaming platforms own all of the connection to the fans themselves." "So, we asked ourselves a question: How do you create a better system? A system that creates this connection with the fans and the community in a way in which fans and creators can enter into that system more seamlessly. It becomes more egalitarian in its approach where anybody can come in, contribute creative ideas to that production, and get ownership in that production as well." 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38lF5Q7YdE&t=2612s ====================== 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #web3 #hollywoodstories #storytelling #nfts #web3podcasts #techpodcasts #podcastsforwriters #podcastsforcreatives

An ethical AI framework means the survival of the human species. Get it wrong, and we blow ourselves up. But who will write the AI Ethical rulebook? Have we left it too late? When the priority is humanity and culture and the threat of existential annihilation is real, the ethical guidelines governments and big tech put in place now will determine what happens in the future. Do we have one shot at this? What happens if we get it wrong? Reid Blackman is the author of "Ethical Machines," creator and host of the AI ethics podcast “Ethical Machines,” and Founder and CEO of Virtue, a digital ethical risk consultancy. Reid is an advisor to the Canadian government on their federal AI regulations, a founding member of EY’s AI Advisory Board, and a Senior Advisor to the Deloitte AI Institute. He has advised and spoken on AI and ethics to AWS, US Bank, the FBI, NASA, and the World Economic Forum. His thought leadership has garnered attention from The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, and Forbes. Finally, prior to founding Virtue, Reid was a professor of philosophy at Colgate University and UNC-Chapel Hill.

Define those ethical nightmares in a comprehensive way, and then systematically and comprehensively put in controls to stop them from happening.” “There are lots of statements out there by lots of organizations, governments, non-profit, corporations that say, "Here's our ethical standards," and they're strikingly similar to each other. “We're for fairness, we're for transparency, we're for accountability, we're for non-discrimination, we're for respecting privacy.” They’re keywords.” “Some people say “oh AI ethics, it's about social benefit and positive social impact. That's great, go do that, but that's not priority number one. Priority number one is "let's not blow everything up.” “The thing that businesses need to understand is you don't have to cater to your bottom line, this is not about stifling innovation, it's about stifling really ethically bad innovation.” “We already have a human rights framework that's internationally agreed upon. It's required of all organizations to do a human rights assessment for all the AI that they're creating throughout the AI lifecycle and to engage in robust risk mitigation, human rights violation mitigation strategies and tactics throughout that, and to document it and to be transparent about it with the relevant authorities.” “It's about an ethical risk appetite that's compatible with business risk appetite and operational risk appetite.” “The Continental philosophers can be more literary than analytical. And I think that the analytic approach to philosophy, which is the dominant approach in the top research institutions, lends itself just to the quick grasping of lots of concepts and how they relate to each other.” ⛓️ 🔗𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐓𝐨 Reid 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰🔗 ⛓️ Reid Blackman - https://www.reidblackman.com/ Ethical Machines - https://a.co/d/2Fdr8qC Virtue - Ethical Consultancy - https://www.virtueconsultants.com/about EU Guidelines For Ethical AI - https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-consultation.1.html Reid Twitter - https://twitter.com/reidblackman Reid LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/reid-blackman ====================== 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBP-25pQF4Y&t=695s ====================== 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #artificialintelligence #emergingtech #ai #ethics #aiethics #skynet #ethicalmachines #compasionatetechnology #web3 #blockchain

Disruptors and curious minds, do you know what the metaverse is? Do you think our virtual worlds are the next phase of entertainment, or a flash in the pan? Do you think music is a continuation of the human spirit and must be listened to in a venue, with other people? What about writing music, creating melody? Can the metaverse offer musicians another way to create? Can blockchain and web3 and AI give the tools to those who aren't musical to create music? In this week's podcast we speak to metaverse musician and visionary Inder Phull to find out. Q̳u̳o̳t̳e̳s̳ ̳F̳r̳o̳m̳ ̳T̳h̳e̳ ̳S̳h̳o̳w̳:̳ “Surely there must be a more dynamic, reactive, interactive experience around music.” “Creating ways for fans to experience music.” “Pokemon go for music. You could explore and discover music.” “Give fans a deeper way to collect and participate in the musical experience.” “Interactivity is pushing the musical experience further.” “How do we let music be free?” “It’s an AI music companion that you can train and make new content with.” “Imagine having a direct relationship with your favourite artist.” “How do we let the user feel like they have expressed themselves? The AI assists you and simplifies that.” “Artists need to have control over their IP.” “Can AI create prompts for the serendipity of creation? For the unknown process?” “The original becomes more valuable. More important.” “True artists see the medium.” TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Welcome Disruptors 1:50 The Jazz Of Physics 2:44 Introducing Inder Phull 3:43 DJing, Production And Jungle 4:58 Helping Brands Access Culture 6:15 PIXELYNX 6:49 Deadmaus 7:53 New Musical Experiences 10:29 Interoperability & Revenue 13:33 The Pixelynx Eco-system 20:59 Co-collaboration Business Model 24:09 Can AI Play Guitar? 28:48 The AI Tech 31:28 How To Convince Labels 33:32 IP 35:04 The Human Element 41:01 Changing Culture 45:52 Closing Thoughts 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰𝑺 𝑷𝑰𝑿𝑬𝑳𝒀𝑵𝑿?
