Episode notes
- Software engineers are assessing the current form of artificial intelligence from a moral perspective, questioning if AI systems can solve problems without misleading outputs or being used for nefarious purposes.
- These AI systems have shown the ability to pass exams and achieve impressive results, such as CHAT GPT 3.5 getting an A on an economics exam.
- An important question is whether AI systems will surpass humans in creative endeavors, like writing a poem or producing a movie as entertaining as those made by Hollywood.
- The potential displacement of human roles in various domains, similar to what happened with Deep Blue and Chess in the 90s, is a significant consideration.
- AI capabilities, including truthfulness, are perceived as integral to assessing their moral implications and potential impact on society.
- Cognitive scientists believe that current AI architectures are flawed and advocate for a paradigm shift to create AI that is trustworthy and connects with the world in a different way.
- Drawing a parallel to molecular biology, it took time for scientists to abandon the incorrect hypothesis about genes being made of protein, highlighting the potential for shifts in AI research.
- Scientists like the speaker believe that the current path of AI development is misguided and that a correction is necessary to achieve significant advancements.
- The speaker suggests that while science is self-correcting, engineering complexities may prolong the process of discovering the correct AI approach.
- The prevailing focus on a particular aspect of AI right now is seen as inherently limited and not representative of its full potential.
