Will AI Destroy Us? - AI Virtual Roundtable
Conversations With Coleman
Debating the Future of AI and Potential Risks
The speaker believes that while AI surpassing human intelligence is probable in the future, the assumption that machines will inherently seek to harm humans is a misconception. They emphasize the importance of aligning the objectives of AI with human values to prevent unintended consequences. The current lack of understanding on how to program machines with values and the potential risks associated with granting machines excessive power like access to the Internet are highlighted. The concern lies more in catastrophic risks stemming from human error in specifying AI's tasks rather than an immediate threat of extinction. The concept of extinction is deemed extreme and unlikely due to factors like human adaptability and varied responses. The focus should be on conducting further research to ensure AI systems align with human intentions and do not cause unintended harm.
