The rise of artificial intelligence has seen computers beating chess experts and performing incredibly complex tasks. But why can’t they think the same way we do?
Watch the Q&A: • Q&A: Will Computers Ev...
We have built incredibly powerful, multi-layered, neural networks capable of learning incredibly quickly and carrying out seemingly impossible tasks, but they still can’t always tell the difference between a polar bear and a dishwasher.
In this talk ‘Father of the Internet’ Vint Cerf explores why it is so challenging for any computer-based system, however elaborate, to reason in the same way we do.
Vinton G. Cerf is vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google. He contributes to global policy development and continued spread of the Internet. Widely known as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," Cerf is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. He has served in executive positions at MCI, the Corporation for National Research Initiatives and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and on the faculty of Stanford University.
This talk was filmed in the Ri on 9 March 2020.

On march 9th I went to see this lecture and so far it has been one of the most memorable moments of my year. This is the first lecture I had ever been to and the atmosphere of the room was something I had never experienced before. Before I came I had no idea who vint Cerf was, but during the talk he completed captured my attention, I was amazed at how much this one man had innovated and learned in his lifetime. As a new experience it was absolutely worthwhile seeing a lecture in person and the things that he said had stuck in my mind for the weeks to come. I am looking forward to when lectures like this will take place again after quarantine, because I can't wait to have another experience like this. Even though it has only been 2 months since I saw this lecture, I feel that it has completed changed my outlook and attitude towards my future for studying and working in Computer Science. I am very glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone to attend this lecture, because it has influenced me more than a RU-vid video ever could.

Just an observation about Feynman diagrams ... I once searched for a Feynman diagram on Google that was both simple to understand and busy enough to be fun for a casual reader of a report I wrote. It's stunning how many diagrams are out there with the space/time scale backwards. Forget social media, that's one of the most disappointing things I've seen on the Internet.

@@Hiker58 Flipping the axes has no effect on the physics the diagram is describing; time is symmetric in physics. If you take a diagram of a particle / antiparticle pair annihilating on contact and producing energetic photons, the time-reversal of that diagram describes an energetic photon spontaneously producing a particle / antiparticle pair. It's the same process but in reverse. You can do this with all the Feynman diagrams.

I find it dangerous that these academic types are saying extremists or alarmists messaging is dangerous because (1) it is opinion on what is extreme, (2) sometimes there needs to be extreme messages, and (3) if they recommend censoring extreme messages than all it takes is the power structure to label speech as extreme to censor it, regardless of if it is truly "extreme".

@mariushusejacobsen3221 4 года назад

(4) If the extreme message is legitimately bad, censorship will boost its credibility and perceived relevance.

@mariushusejacobsen3221 4 года назад

@@quelorepario Mind explaining what the wrong premise is? 1 is practically tautological. "X is extreme" is an opinion. Since you disagree (with all points), please show how you *measure* the extremeness of a message, rather than opine on it, and how your threshold for "extreme" is not a matter of opinion. 2 is a given since without anything 'extreme', the band of what is not extreme will shrink until there is. Since you disagree (with all points), please explain how the phenomenon of "purity spiral" occurs, without relying on the same premises that you call false. 3 is an observation that has historically been consistently true. 5 is an observation of history. I would add it being dependent on the point being relevant for enough people. At which point they would be unlikely to censor it in the first place. 6, given that we're talking about politics, has "exceptions that confirm the rule". Which is why it says "tends to be". Since you state you disagree with all of the points, please give plausible alternate explanations for each, or if that's your angle, why these observations are not relevant. 4 is an observation with the same premises as the Streisand effect, which is well documented at this point. So your argument, that all points come from a bad premise, necessarily needs to disprove the Streisand effect. By appearances, you're just rejecting it, without much thought, as a response to cognitive dissonance, which would mean your world view doesn't go well with reality. If, rather than engage with the above questions, you'd rather modify your statement to be more precise, I'll accept that as well. However, after you said anything in the first place, stopping here only vindicates your opponents.

Email would be an other application (al though email is actually older than the Internet) that uses the underlying infrastructure that we all Internet. The Internet came from what used to be ARPANET which was first started in late 1960s or early 1970s. The first implementation of what we today would recognize and call Internet was in 1975. Email is from 1971 it was used to send messages of people working on the same computer (people had terminals connected to the same computer, thus sharing computers). The @-sign pronounced 'at' was later added to be able to send email to people on other systems. That was possible because computers were connected to the Internet thus able to exchange information. Anyway, Vint Cerf worked on the Internet, not WWW.

Thank you Dr. Cerf. I am a semi-retired journalist who wrote about ICT and I met and spoke to you briefly at an ICANN event in Kuala Lumpur 10 or more years ago and yes, I am of the same opinion that at least for now and perhaps for a long time in the future, computers and AI will not have the same thinking capacity and flexibility as humans nor even be able to be conscious of their existence, even though they can carry out specific tasks or a set of specific tasks very much faster than humans, under the control of algorithms defined by humans which they process but they are lost in situations and circumstances which fall outside the scope of their set or sets of algorithms. In all my years of writing about the ICT industry, I have encountered to many claims by tech-futurists, cyber-utopians, tech-marketers, tech seminar speakers and so forth who have made rather starry-eyed, idealist or opportunistic claims about the extent to which ICT, the World Wide Web, digital media and so forth would "revolutionise" or lives and empower us to challenge the powers that be and to an extent these have, however more often than not, the World Wide Web, digital media and social media has allowed us to harmlessly and ineffectively rant and rave in a sandbox whilst the powers that be mostly ignore us and carry on with business as usual.

A computer will never enjoy happiness based on dopamine serotonin blood-sugar and other chemicals, a computer will never have any body-awareness and therefore will never fear pain discomfort hunger thirst and death. Even adding billions over billions over more billions of transistors in every chip in the oncoming decades ..... it won`t change anything but make only pure mathematical processes faster for better gaming graphics and more sophisticated programs. Thinking self-aware machines will probably wishful thinking forever, even when mankind will be able to create perfect robots in the year 2100 (or maybe earlier Boston Dynamics can already build bipedal machines) these machines will only be capable of do exactly what their programming dictates them, but never will processors based on transistor technology become self-aware or even develop feelings. But from a software point of view will be possible to at least simulate hyper-realistic machines who accurately can act like humans based on how complex their programming is.

Will you have a good comment about thinking critically but not deep enough. Information quality is an ethical issue based on values. How are these values created? Well they are based on a system or network. Just like the shared connection of neurons and the assumed protocol of the internet, there is an assumption that Google's information quality algorithm has a correct answer. Regardless of what the answer, is you don't get one without the assumption, hypothesis, input. I'm not saying this is good or bad/correct or incorrect that Google does this. Doing so would be taking my value system and comparing that to Google's which is the whole point of this lecture. AI doesn't have a one size fit all.

@woooweee 4 года назад

Google's own behavior proves the point, "algorithmic fairness" produces things like an image search for a "american inventors" coming up with a page full of African Americans. This isn't elevation, its deliberate ideological bias. They have proven themselves not credible in matters of objectivity. Mentioning snopes was the cherry on top, sites like that just cherry pick in one direction nitpicks as a method of propaganda. Hoaxes like clockboy are conveniently not "fact checked" as they don't benefit their narrative, a few copied newspaper articles so they can pretend they handled the subject is all they will bother with, and its like this consistently. I mean seriously, feminism alone doesn't survive a "fact check", and places like google will bend every rule to ignore the data points on that one.

"if you see trolling, people who deliberately say things to incite reaction. the reward they get is generating that reaction" that is the most fair comment i've heard someone say about trolling ever. however it isn't an intrinsic reward for some types of trolls. teachers for example don't just want reactions to their trolling, they want to get paid. getting a reaction is just the means to getting paid. the same is true for people who get paid by advertisers. what is occuring in all forms of reinforcement or Q-learning, regardless of computers, is the reinforcement of rewarded behaviors. monetization methods are a form of reward, as is popularity, as is political relevance.

@codeoptimizationware2803 4 года назад

@morthim : Hmm. Are you the jackass that "invented" reaction-shots?

@wtfbbq 4 года назад

While I agree with what you're saying about reinforcement and reward mechanisms, I definitely don't agree that "trolling" broadly applies to anybody who's getting a "reward for their behavior". Teachers are most definitely not "trolling" by teaching, nor are people getting paid by an advertiser to say something (perhaps such as an athlete endorsing a product) trolling. Teachers ARE getting paid to say things, yes, but they aren't looking for reactions as their form of payment. For the teacher, deep down they don't really care if a student passes or fails, as long as they've done their job they get their monetary reward. The athlete endorsing a product doesn't really care if people actually buy and use that product, they are getting their monetary reward regardless. For a troll, the reaction itself IS the reward. It's just very strange to hear somebody essentially saying teachers are trolls.... And not only that but using the term "troll" so broadly that it encompasses nearly all of humanity and that anybody getting any type of reward for any type of behavior is a troll. It's not a correct use of the term whatsoever.

There should be a international norm about the control of information, exchange of messages and other files of midea alike by goverments and corporations, that use censorship,banning and other ways of controling and harassment of users opinions and ideas, this practices diminishes the rigth of free speach. There are many examples of these in the internet around the globe.

Problem with "facts" is that in many internet disputes, or flat out "fake news" events, you aren't dealing with something based on a law of nature, but rather dealing with narratives constructed on "established truths". These always have "wiggle room". If everything were based on laws of nature, disputes would be easily and quickly resolved. Although, a lot of the problem with internet communication is deliberately vexatious behaviour.

The sports team fan analogy is not entirely apt. Fans of rival teams can still relate over their shared interest in the sport, often with some good natured pro forma teasing over beers. Getting online hostility down to the level of that between fans of rival sports teams would probably be a marked improvement.

Computers can basically only output what you put into them. AI systems at the moment only have a list of questions and answers already input, then a word matching program returns an answer for a set number of matched words in any given question. It's not that complicated. We can train them to do specific things, like play chess, and make them learn by creating deviation algorithms that deviate from a path when they lose, and keep to the path when they win, then store the results, which is a basic learning program. Getting a computer to think 'out of the box' to come up with totally new ideas, or new answers to existing questions, is a lot harder. Not saying it can never be done, but we are a long way off doing this. Pretty much like driverless cars can only drive safely at very slow speeds, driving at speeds normal humans take for granted is still some time away. Sonic sensors are not that accurate, analysis of camera input is enormously complex, which is why existing systems you may think are nearly perfect will inexplicably run over a cyclist. People who don't understand how computers work believe they are better than humans, and will thus make better drivers, but anybody who is a programmer, who has tried to do this, will know they are far from being perfect enough to actually drive safely.

The sum total of all the processes in the brain produce the phenomenon that we experience as consciousness, though no single cell is aware of itself or the others. The same could ultimately be said for the internet. There could be an intelligence out there that we are simply incapable of communicating with because it is quite literally on a totally different scale.

One thing you might do is measure the circumference of a new-born’s head, and then measure the circumference of a mature adult’s head. Remember that volume is related to circumference by the cube of the linear dimension. The average volume of an adult brain is 1.4 liters. Some people have brains as big as 1.6 liters. The determined volume of a little grey alien’s brain is 2.2 liters.

See, that's actually been encountered a bunch of times. Someone used NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Toplogies, a form of neural network) to play Tetris, and the moment before it ran out of room and would have lost, it paused the game and refused to play any further. The only winning move... was not to play.

I liked it. But I feel at the end, the lecture leaves the question "Will Computers Ever Think Like Human Beings?" unanswered. It was more about our own responsibility and awareness concerning information technology.

@autohmae 4 года назад

The answer is: not any time soon. The computer systems don't have nearly enough complexity yet. Maybe some advances could change that but greatly accelerating the development, but predicting the future is hard.

i think that's unfair - he presents the facts and lets you draw your own conclusions. But if you are in desperate need of a binary answer, the answer is "Yes" - in fact, some of them already do (a bit) and some of them - the most famous ones right now, don't.

Google took a big step here, it basically is a sort of capitalistic and moralistic argument, there is a high energy expense for making new technology, software needs to have standards (which may not be overcome by startups), if these the barriers are overcame, then technology makers need to support them for life (which may be hard when new technology is in the pipeline) if the new technology fails and it’s part of infrastructure or is important enough, it needs to be made available to companies that can use it (Google). But hey that’s just a critical thinking exercise…

Without wishing to detract from his prestige or his remarks in any way, his description of the 100-dimensional ambiguity in pattern recognition is simply wrong. It's not the 10000-vector that's ambiguous, it's the value of each of the points in that space, even if quantized to only 1 bit per point.
