- The universe seems incredibly complex. But could its rules be dead simple? Juergen Schmidhuber's fascinating story will convince you that this universe and your own life are just by-products of a very simple and fast program computing all logically possible universes.
Juergen Schmidhuber is Director of the Swiss Artificial Intelligence Lab IDSIA (since 1995), Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Lugano, Switzerland (since 2009), and Professor SUPSI (since 2003).
He helped to transform IDSIA into one of the world's top ten AI labs (the smallest!), according to the ranking of Business Week Magazine. His group pioneered the field of mathematically optimal universal AI and universal problem solvers. The algorithms developed in his lab won seven first prizes in international pattern recognition competitions, as well as several best paper awards.
Since 1990 he has developed a formal theory of fun and curiosity and creativity to build artificial scientists and artists. He also generalized the many-worlds theory of physics to a theory of all constructively computable universes - an algorithmic theory of everything.
He has published nearly 300 peer-reviewed scientific works on topics such as machine learning, artificial recurrent neural networks, fast deep neural nets, adaptive robotics, algorithmic information and complexity theory, digital physics, the formal theory of beauty & humor, and the fine arts.
In 2008 he was elected member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Drastically underrated talk. He explained the universe!
This comment plays a significant role in our universe, otherwise it would not be computed.
😂🤣😌
Because what has already happened, history, and what is happenning right now, is the optimal computation/result of a very simple program (according to this guy). If we consider another computation/result different from this one (that is, one where there is no particular "member" for example) then we are dealing with a computation that is not optimal, or in other words, slower and longer.
Juergen is brilliant and an exceptional speaker. He is a mover and shaker in the field. No wonder he generates some hatred/envy within the scientific community,
This vid is even more relevant today
Physicists say potential matter exists in a probabilistic wave field and only becomes actualized matter when it interacts with an outside stimulus (or observer). Sounds exactly how a sophisticated cosmic virtual reality might operate. This means we exist outside the VR in some other form, possibly non-physical, and we enter into our “avatars” at birth to learn how to excel at this game of existence, perhaps to become better "souls." And the programmer must be something larger, still.
Wow... I actually got that. Now, what needs to be addressed, is the difference between "bigger" and "better", and who decides.
I compute therefore I am. We assume then: that the observer must in some way interact with that which is being observed only when it pops into existence and not at other times when it does not exist except in some sort of amorphous cloud of energy or something that cannot be interacted with with any known quantum force. It does not count when I observed that nothing was there before something was there , but only in the trivial case where I cannot reverse the arrow of time. That trivial case being realized at the macro scale and not at the scale where things actually exist or not. So the programmer must be something much smaller, still.
@@ronaldlogan3525 In a virtual reality there is no matter/energy. It's all just a simulation of matter/energy, which enters our conscious awareness via a data stream of information. In this regard, as it related to the observer effect in quantum mechanics, Einstein questioned, “does that mean the Moon is not there when I am not looking at it?” No. It means the moon is not there even when you are looking at it. LOL. Like everything else (seemingly) material in a VR, the moon doesn't actually exist. It's just data/information. The one and only thing that does exist within a VR is our conscious experience of it.
Question. Why would a simulation WITHOUT a certain "member" would run slower and longer than with it? [13:20]
genius has spoken again - his research group is winning all those artificial intelligence competitions with their neural networks - they also proved the central theorems of mathematically optimal artificial general intelligence - and perhaps he can even explain the entire universe as the result of an optimal computation of all mathematically possible multiverses, like in this talk - please accept my almost religious awe :-)
When you think about how life (in the abstract) has existed, likely for all eternity...an unfathomable duration on time (and im sure at some point time itself ceases to be relevant) its difficult not to believe that some ultra advanced form of intelligence isn't cloaking our universe. Perhaps it even created our universe as Schmidhuber suggests. You have to wonder whether or not this leads us back to god.
Xetable, are you referring to the D-Wave "quantum computer"? Quantum expert Vazirani said: "Their claimed speedup over classical algorithms appears to be based on a misunderstanding of [my paper on adiabatic quantum computing]. That speed up unfortunately does not hold in the setting at hand, and therefore D-Wave's "quantum computer" even if it turns out to be a true quantum computer, and even if it can be scaled to thousands of qubits, would likely not be more powerful than a cell phone."
Huh? Xetable, I searched for Schmidhuber & Bell's inequality; he wrote in Nature 439, 392, 2006: "Neither Heisenberg's uncertainty principle nor Bell's inequality exclude the possibility, however small, that the Universe, including all observers inhabiting it, is in principle computable by a completely deterministic computer program, as first suggested by computer pioneer Konrad Zuse in 1967." See also realism assumptions etc behind Bell's inequality: Valdenebro 2002 Eur. J. Phys. 23 569.
5:12 I had the very same insight.
String theory, digital theory, it's important to know. But, the more important question is, why? What is the point of good, evil, the experience of being alive, etc...? Life forms are conscious for what reason? Is your awareness a by-product of the Universe being itself or is it vice-versa? How can you take a mathematical process and account for love? If you can, then why has love been 'programmed' or 'made possible' for us to experience?
Understanding duality in nature... I would hope... Bettering ones self through knowledge not the other way around. I think if you look hard enough you'll find most are trying to find definitions merely to sway their conscience when it comes to a Master Slave relationship...
he talks a lot about salt of cryptography.
haha he did the same jokes in some other talk. I also dont like his way of talking. But i must say: I love his Ideas. He is one of the persons which seem to know deep stuff about reality. He is also very successfull with his artificial neural nets. Lets see if he is right about quantum computer. I always thought they are real but i certainly give his opinion some weight. Time will tell
You're confusing Jürgen with his postdoc, Marcus Hutter. He is associated with AIXI, but neither he, nor his lab, is its originator.
someone said, The German is the only one who can express/give love by intelligence ! well yes, I can hear it, sometimes feel it when I'm driving my Volkswagen Auto and putting a trance music by a German or another///

OK, but who coded the original universe, then ?
This guy is nuts
You should read the books of ZILLMER and BEHE - they know the truth
"artificial agents"
He didn't show anything though
+Jean-Luc Dushimiye Aint that the truth.
what is that code that he said is written in that small paper
i want to know NOW
and i mean NOW
NOW
NOW

didnt they build the first working quantum computer last year or so?? Carrying out a few simple computations?
Yes.. and they're building a DWave Quantum computer with 4096 Qbits now I think. Quantum Computers are now where regular computers were in the 60s.
Republic3D
So Jürgi was wrong? ;)
Quantum Computers are going to be here soon/ already are for specific computations. But he is trying to say that they might not necessarily be very useful, as they might need too much classical computation to run to be fast enough/useful
The same reason a 3 Ghz processor is faster than a 2.9 Ghz.
Incredible talk... but at 11:06 did you say you were creating "artificial Asians" if so theyre going to take over the artificial/natural/real world.
Simulation inside a simulation inside another simulation.
Is he claiming he has the code written on his paper? I mean ....doubtful
That was me, sorry shit got out of hand.
Ein ziemlich belangloses Anbiedern an das Publikum, ein durchsichtiges Geschleime.
Mit anderen Worten: eine erfolgreiche Rede.
Juergen left out the observers effect in this theory. He refers to "free will."
But a machine or artificial intelligence can never have a living Soul. Free Will or "Soul"; however does have random aspects.
Transcript please. Life's far too short. I could miss my 15 minutes.
it was on the contrary ordained that you put aside time for this talk.
no deep theory...there is no code, because a code is always something limiting. Its more a field of ALL possibilities, no code, no computing...
A code is not limiting.
It could be that there is no code, but that code is still a good way to understand what is going on. Whether there is actually any code may be irrelevant, I suppose.
kun fayakun..
Anythiing but God...........
Does he have to tell the same jokes at every TED talk he gives?
Peter Morgan Yes.................
Peter Morgan Yes.
Peter Morganrgan There is no escape to it
Peter Morgan lol
+Peter Morgan It's just how he was programmed.
This is just another creation myth.
Sure, but his myth seems to leave a lot less to be explained, i.e., has a lot fewer moving parts.
Sounds like another view of Creationism.
Does Jürgen always make the same lame jokes at every talk?
To be fair, it was quite funny the first time.
Dude could be smart as hell far as i know but this talk had the same substance as my speeches after 15 beers. Sorry mate
Life is more than just "substance". Did you enjoy those beers? If you spot me one for everyone you drink, I'll be glad to "listen" to your speeches.
Joke stealer
This guy has no clue about quantum mechanics. He asserts that quantum computers are dead, and that there has been no practical progress, even though they just reached commercialization in 2011. He obviously doesn't know what Bell's Theorem states, since he just hand-waves it by mischaracterizing Bell's own preference for hidden-variable theories, which contradict his own beliefs expressed here. He is a computer scientist, speaking of things he knows not of. He should be embarrassed.
