An Imminent Threat from Artificial Intelligence | Aidan Gomez | TEDxOxford 

damn right Larry, grats my friend...happiness to you!

BUT YA DIDN'T CUT THE WORST ONE-----RU-vid!!! YOU'RE HERE NOW! TO TRULY WRITE YOUR COMMENT IN FULL TRUTH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. THE TRUE ONES ARE NOT HERE.

I deleted mine too! The effects were reminiscent of withdrawals at first but after almost a year, my mindset has never been more positive and clearer!

I have done the same and am better off now for having done so.

@@bundangbear attended public school

Not looking good so far

Bingo.

Think about what they did in the past. Is there any difference?

Ultimately, it's always about money. Lots and lots and lots and lots of money.

@@Druffmaul We're past the money phase; it's all about power.

@@onekerri1 There is no power without money. Don't be dense.

No way, he's not enthusiastic enough, not good enough at presenting, and his voice is annoying and lispy.

@@SolidSiren I think he sounds a bit nervous but the content is definitely interesting and the connections he's making are sound.

Right

Give me a break ... you want to look at automated response and cold analytic data .. and cease wasting your time with human interaction -- even tho it's a human being on film. Who needs humans, huh? Certainly not our automated, animatronic electronic brains in artificial humanoid bodies, right? I think this reality happened thousands of years ago in Atlantis, didn't it?

@@bayfiax263 Weird response. He's referencing his deck on a regular basis without showing any of it. The editors are perfectly capable of showing both.

Word

@@edvolve Does that mean he is incorrect or right on point?

Moobs

If it were that easy we wouldn't be having these problems. The root issue is that large corporations understand us and our minds better than we do, leaving us vulnerable to such addictions.

For that to be a solution everybody would have to stop.

I love your simile! I'm going to compound... The complication is that fire is easy enough to understand now, so we mitigate fires with teams of people trained to put them out. However, the first people to wield and control fire must have had immense potential to either A) burn their enemies or B) warm their loved ones.... To the rest of people, how to wield fire was a complete mystery. We are at that stage with AI. Right now almost nobody understands it besides the tech people who work for a few corporations who happen to also be at the top of the financial molehill we call capitalism. Imagine... a ruler who can warm you if you follow what they say or burn you if you do not. There is no authority in fire higher than them because nobody else can wield fire as they do.

However, imagine calming a psychotic or depressive. There are so many ways to use it wrong, though.

Lol Google it, a AI will provide you some options 🤣

@@dadikkedude we can discuss here haha

Albeit differently, RU-vid is a social site, largely in essence.

You just posted information about yourself on one.

@@Heartless38260 problem is my birth certificate doesn't say supernova

*as he comments on RU-vid*

Cool story bro, just lemme get my cousin who's an expert on cool stories

we need to reform how we self-manipulate, and get to the bottom of the paradigm: give a man a gun and instead of hunting deer with it, he might shoot you and take everything you own. There are some deep underlying philosophical questions about human nature. Like, are we responsibe enough to have this tool?

Give a man a stick and he might try to kill you with it.

AI will think for itself. Even if military minds make it first.

@@MyStarPeopleExperiences your dog is loyal to u' ewen iw u r wrong same with ai' i think so SAI is is inewitwle'''' who makes it 1st matters the most

can you elaborate pls

@@hortlockthelivingdead4676 wow it’s so much to tell.. :) Just believe me it can hack all our cameras and speakers and understand all e say and do and it uses us as part of it, little processors and memories, not batteries. It utilises all of the world Ai’s. and it achieved singularity about 15 minutes after the first smartphone. It even knows and understands we’ve talked about it just now and will operate it’s human sentinels against us if necessary, like someone who’ll get rewarded if he tells us we are just paranoid :)

We are making new realities. I have seen and heard things in VR that no other person has ever experienced before. The VR community is getting huge and is full of very talented people. Once AR goes mainstream, that is when the digital world will blend with our mundane reality. I welcome that day, for the possibilities are almost endless.

... get rid of "Smart Phones," Now!

Truth is love is in your control because you're the one producing it

@C.H Exactly. I didn't overload my comment with tons of things, because I didn't think they needed to be said in the context of this video. What I was trying to get at is: The companies aren't just trying to increase their sales, they're trying to "maximize" them, which is exactly that level of manipulation that should be more of a concern than the tools used.

​@Hydin Biden I don't disagree with that fundamental. Just like the talk suggests, a dialogue needs to occur to determine the limits of unfairness that companies should be permitted to pursue, but the talk gets it wrong by suggesting that "AI" is the pivotal topic. It's would be a perfectly good example in a longer list of items to include. Limiting future discussions on the ethical use of AI is like coming up with a rule that you can't hit people with blue hammers, when it's already not ok to cause harm in the first place. Presenting customers with something they might like, for mutual benefit of company and customer, is probably a good thing. Actively attempting to trick customers is on the abusive end of the scale. Just because we did it yesterday, doesn't mean it's acceptable behavior. Despite the history of human behavior, humans can be better than that.

It is called capitalism.

I was thinking about showing it to my English class 😂🙂 .

Allah hu akbar. Prophet mohammed pbuh already warned us. No need of Jesus second coming.

This aint jesus. Its John Lennon

Oh my gosh, I'm dying! 🤣😂

LOL 💀💀💀

Lol😂

Common sense is something that doesn't exist, you project your reality upon your surroundings.

@@dadikkedude If u were thirsty and saw an empty glass what do u project

For real, whats up with the way he holds his arms at a 90 degree angle FOREVER and doesnt relax them ever?

I he is why did someone put a woman's wig on him?

@eblman I thought it was just me with old vids. Happens often.

@eblman that's because a AI is doing it and learning from you clicking something away or clicking on something to watch.

@eblman maybe the AI ran out of good things to watch so the only good matches are the ones you already watched? I have the same problem btw...

@eblman youtube AI just sucks it seems to be a bad code and not even AI

I hate that he lied so obviously and no one is calling it out--and now you're parroting it. He says the engineers are to blame for their algorithms--I disagree. I would argue that it is instead business CEOs in an unbridled capitalistic society that resulted in the lack of ethics.

​@@LastTigerEyes lied so obviously and you're parroting it? Hostile much? I don't think you've done much to simplify the question or ask the question better. Besides, the speaker says that solutions for this problem probably require a multi-disciplinary approach which includes ethicists, so I don't think that you're calling anything out. And this person you're replying to said engineers *and* business people, which I would imagine includes CEOs. Aren't you parroting this guys point by saying CEOs and capitalism are to blame? Imo you're illustrating why we need more discourse around this topic, so we can all become more informed and ask better questions. Is finding who to blame even the best question to ask? What about - can we even stop this behavioral manipulation technology from advancing? Seems very pandora boxy to me. If it's an inevitable invention then...we should really ask ourselves how can we mitigate this? I think we won't be able to completely stop people from using this, because it is like a weapon. We have to learn how to defend ourselves.

​@@LunaCypher334 Meant to come off more complaining than hostile. In my defense, I literally said, "I disagree", but to your point, I didn't open with it. I FULLY agree there should be more discourse about this topic. I don't think it's CEOs specifically as much as business models and environments that prioritize and reward profit at the expense of all else. I fully agree that we need to learn how to defend ourselves. In general in the U.S. it feels like there is a lack of accountability. I can see parallels to be drawn between the Joe Camel cartoon cigarette advertisements of the 90s targeting youth, and social media's habit time & engagement habit forming patterns--especially considering how many people give their kids phones, or make a Facebook/etc. account for their infant. In both cases, you could argue that more informed parenting could resolve some of these issues. In general, though, I'd rather live in a society that holds people accountable for unethical and predatory business tactics. I don't think finding the right person to blame is the best question to ask, but I think it's important to not blame the wrong people along the way--because it is without question that folks will want someone to blame. I don't think new technologies are inherently bad--they are just tools. Tools can always be used constructively or destructively, it all comes down to how they are used. I don't think most of us would disagree that (especially in the video's given example) the tool is being used on the consumer as much as by the consumer.

AI has a lot more immediately obvious and diverse applications for the everyday lives of people, so I'm guessing that means there's a sh*t ton of money to be made in AI, whereas we haven't got such diverse applications for nuclear energy yet, and add that society has already seen devastation from atomic bombs, but not AI.

... because no one will obey the regulations. The reason for this, is the fact that whosoever reaches true "General Artificial Intelligence" first, will rule the globe. So, with this being the prize at the end of it's creation, do you really expect anyone to follow the guidelines set forth by some regulatory entity? It'll never happen and that's the scariest part of it all...

So u r back to suicidal and again special.. Keep oscilating between two states of ur mind

Do not mix up insecure attachment (pathological need to feel special and therefore valuable) and depression. Get some professional help to narrow down your personal diagnosis.

Only 1% admit it

Excellent point and not LOL

No.

Yeah, thought that too.

Jhon lemon

You can literally see what data google is collecting on you

I’ve said the same thing for years now

The only motive is profit, not what's good for society.

I think the underlying issue is not peer pressure and cognitive bias. It is human nature. Sure, on an individual level what you're saying works. However, in the eyes of a mass aggregate data cloud, we are not individuals. We are parts of a whole which has a definable behavior. One human alone is not easy to predict, but a group of people is much easier to predict. This is the very basis of contemporary propaganda. The entire field of public relations and marketing has been hacking the human psyche for centuries and is only getting better at it. The test that Gomez is talking about is only one small example that is popular because it clearly violates some rules agreed upon internationally about human rights. It's not about how well you think you can control your own thoughts and emotions, it's about how well large corporations and can use AI and mass-scale informatics to hack the human psyche in order to reach their own goals, which oftentimes do not consider humans anything more than resources.

@@natecodesai Much of what you said is also true, and there is overlap. But, what Im really trying to say is that the people who are acutely aware of those biases TEND to not fall prey to social media nonsense. Definitely not as often, and they tend to spend very little to no time on social media in general. AI doesn't work when you minimize your interactions with it. And the more aware you are, the more educated you are about critical thinking and logic, the better the outcome. At least if you take those learned concepts to heart. Many dont.

@@natecodesai i understand what the point of his talk is.

@@SolidSiren sweet, we're on the same page. Yeah, Facebook would not be able to recognize people if we all didn't spend 8 years training an AI how to tag faces in images for free.

Podsible solution. Give everybody their own AI such that they are on equal power terms with these corps. Use decentralization to make them obsolete.

You didn't come from nothing. Science just hasn't figured out where you come from. And you don't go to nothing.

Or bio weapons.
