My exact same observation.

Regarding "AI", this is an absolutely brilliant conversation right up to the minute on what humanity is facing with AI, but I find Eric Schmidt profoundly suspect. Me, U.S. Army, 1969-1971. I had my eyes wide open through the whole experience and took notes. There is no way this morally defective Nation is going to survive. Those who's economy lives by the sword, will die by the sword. We are all on the road to the FINAL SCENE in "THE GAME" as so clearly stated in the profound 1978 PROPHETIC Allegorical Film "The Deer Hunter" which will most definitely be coming in the looming 2040's. Now Retired, I worked 41 years as a Application Development Software Engineer. I loved every single minute of it. But the Dr. Strangelove factor of Eric Schmidt is just too much for me.

One of the most interesting discussions I have heard about this technology and it's potential impacts. Eric Schmidt is an extraordinary and perceptive man. Thanks Brian.

Also he starts out by saying Chinas way to deal with the internet is bad. Then proceeds to complain that the US and the west isnt implementing the exact same system of mass surveillance
Yes his perception that biology and physics are similar is very telling from individuals who work in the fields of non biology. Medicine is very complex and not at all understood. Human psychology is even more complex. Saying that if everyone was smart in the world it "has to be good" is very dangerous, generalising and completely ignorant on the human experience. AI is scary because of who is making it as well as who is in charge.
He mentions the Vietnam war and how it led to questioning the morality of our government, which led to the structural philosophy of the Internet, being by the people instead of through government. And then, five minutes later you find out that Kissinger is his best friend?! I’m usually not a big fan of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but in this case, I think it’s warranted.
Several commentators are thrown by Eric’s friendship with Kissinger. Men of their times both brilliant and both have remarkable strengths and glaring weaknesses. I’m also guilty of having remarkable friends and hope I’m not condemned for their missteps as I have made enough of my own.
You can be friends with people of different opinions and beliefs. Didn't come across that way tbh. Kissinger like Hitler was not all bad. No human is, but he seemingly aligned himself with Kissinger. I do remember Kissinger thinking Mao had the moral high ground when they met and Mao probably thought so too. People are poor judges of themselves. Do No Evil was actually a red flag to delusional infantile minds with no personal insight. Now they are cynical political minds with a facade of moralin their heads to make their elongated lives tolerable @@martywells9961
This guy scares me. Alarm bells when I hear a close friend of Henry Kissinger, productivity, economic growth etc. .Prof Brian's question about becoming the big man is such an excellent one that I don't think he managed to get an honest answer to
Democracy is a temporary patch to a bigger problem: humans need control because we're savages. I welcome the moment humans will not need any form of control or control will be deemed to something better than us. It's 2023 and we are still at war with each other, we are clearly broken.
hes a top globalist that supports the nwo agenda and he intends to merge with ASI and become a god like the rest of these freaks that show up at the bilderberg group and club of rome
The most sober and factual discussion of what is likely the most melodramatic phase in the history of human progress. Spoiler alert: The drama doesn’t subside.
Eric Schmidt is the most intelligent, experienced and articulate I have heard on this subject and I listen to it all day everyday as a major role in my livelihood.
The beautiful thing about our moment in time is anything you didn't understood fully, you can ask chatGPT or your favorite LLM and ask it to explain it to you in a way you can fully understand. 🙂
Brian this is the Nexus I have been waiting for, I have told Bard (past Ai ) and Copilot what I wish for concerning knowledge, they seem active enough supplying me with awesome material such as this conversation with you and Eric. This Nexus also has taught me enough that I can milk the AIs' for much more than ever possible. My grand kids will be taught from this conversation . Now we the people would benefit from more extended conversations between you two as you both are extremely perceptive, concise and entertaining. What a match in brilliance, my family will grow much more rapidly in understanding and hopefully in wisdom, also I liked your idea about spatial conception, conceiving knowledge and adgility via AR/VR, AWESOME IDEA.
Tbh... it is a little rough to listen to a scientist actually say "Henry Kissinger was my best friend..." Oh man, that is rough. It is possible that he would be one of the 10 most evil people in American history. I have a hard time understanding how someone who can be so brilliant and objective could form a relationship with a such darkness? I am gonna do my best to move on from that sentence, and hopefully me venting here will be enough so I don't do the typical thing and dismiss someone just because we have different values. There is still a lot to learn here, and I am telling myself "don't allow my own personal politics to interfere with expanding my knowledge of the universe". Ok, vent over. Hopefully I can be more mature and appreciate this for what it is.
Absolutely right, someone on Radio4 said anyone visiting Cambodia would naturally want to stamp on Kissengers face repeatedly. That's pretty tough talk for radio4 right there, but very well deserved. Henry Kissinger has a life outside his own evil, which is interesting. I suspect that these very intelligent, imaginative people are just unable to process things that are easy for the rest of us.
@@jamesdonaghy9143 Anthony Bourdain said, "Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands."
@retrotek664 I agree with the sentiment, everyone needs a boost. You talk dirty about Kissinger and you hurt a lot of people. But there is a story needs to be told also, and when he's mentioned, then the hurt needs mentioned too. He did more damage than any of the millions of people he hurt. The kids these days know how to use vietcon techniques in the wild, but they've no idea who Kissinger was and the Kimer Rouge and Paul Pot. I guess it's hard to boost the guy when he's like in a category of one, the contemporary megalomaniac? Does that cover it? How can I boost this guy and not sound like an apath?
You can allow yourself to completely dismiss Kissinger, a horrible monster that directly caused the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people as if they were mere pieces on a chessboard. But did he ever have to directly witness any one human being violently killed as the direct result of his policies? Well of course not, that might have affected his peace of mind while relaxing in his business suit.
I'm delighted that you found your purpose. This warms my heart ❤️ and delights my soul. May you continue to delve into this new purpose of yours and find what your purpose means for all of us. Now let us pray 🙏 . Thanks 😊
I teach in adult education in outreach so this means to those who didn’t get their qualifications at school in the standard way and are returning to learning. But returning to learning for many different reasons and for different outcomes. Learning is more than knowledge acquisition it holds instead it many self identify signifiers which are not necessarily known to the learner. They are learning about how they learn why they learn as much as about the content too. How deep a dive they want to go into their individual learning pathways is up to them but as educationalists in the work I do we do have to know the differences in an individual’s approach to learning because it has been disaffected somewhere along the line through economic disadvantage or not having their learning style met in the standard classroom. For this reason we réfère to education as a journey and a pathway because the destination is navigated and it works best when the process is collaborative as in the learner is aware of how they learn best and what their challenges are to ensure they see challenge as objective as a tool not a signifier of self identify that can create low emotional self value. Having said all that the emergence I am seeing because I teach English to refugees is the way translations can be a fast way to communicate without holding all the knowledge. So my feeling is AI will offer voice strips in the future and when you speak out loud the voice strips will translate your voice into any language. This exists on phones but I think there will be more bio AI apps like a voice strip like a patch and navigation systems that talk to you more like a real person would that can see all the objects and elements in real time. So yes I think AI might help with how someone learns but I think there will be more apps that will say we can replace you not knowing with apps that make it look like you know to facilitate communication in the moment. Like language learning. People will still need to know for themselves but the tools to learn will be at some point many stages of efficiency that some of the tools will actually do the job themselves.
This was both enlightening and frightening all at once. A Really fascinating conversation. But talking about good guys with AI is like talking about good guys with nuclear weapons.
organic chemistry is an extremely visual (picture-based) subject matter. I found using imagery, students were able to comprehend very complicated multi-step reactions.
This has me thinking. Significant changes to our society will happen at a faster pace. I look forward to it, but keeping up with it may be challenging.
it's reassuring to hear so much positivity around AI, most of what is being said on youtube is always tinted with a bit of doom and gloom, but mr schmidt here reminds us of why we wanted AI in the first place, to augment what humans are already doing.
I was a fantastic concept artist. 15 years of self teaching and immense struggle and determination. I had worked on big projects and was finally getting the opportunity to develop my own movie idea. AI image generators suddenly appeared and every studio I was connected with dropped me overnight. My own project was cancelled. My career and life passion was over. Three months later my hair fell out all over my body and what was left turned white. Stress related alopecia. The shock and disappointment was devastating. I never heard from those studios or got any new work from anyone else. AI is destroying creativity and human purpose. It’s all designed to replace us, and make humans obsolete. Not to mention all the data it scrapes, including my own entire portfolio. These two have no concern for anyone but themselves.
You are the one only thinking about yourself. Everything you wrote was about you. I do feel bad for you of course, but you remind me of horse coach riders , when automobiles were invented. " These cars took my job*. Good luck to you, I hope it all works out.
Thanks for this conversation. It illustrates how AI is accelerating the acceleration of science and technological acceleration. I think the technological singularity is coming a whole lot faster than even the most optimistic experts predict. Thanks for posting.
Science isn't based primarily on "proof" like mathematics, but on evidence, prediction, and observations that test the prediction, and so add to the evidence. Nature, not mathematics or people, has the final word about the best current world model.
In a sense I feel like you could say that experimentational results or "evidence" as you're referring to it there is effectively proof by demonstration. I guess the funny part is: you don't even really need to understand or know what you are proving. The math does itself, you just gotta look at the results and then try to figure out what the math was before it did what it did. Of course nature has the final word on being the best model for... Itself. But I don't really understand your approach here to downplaying mathematics in terms of it's ability to describe nature. It is eerily effective at describing it. To the point where you get genuinely amazed by it over and over again the deeper you go into studying these things. Hell, Dirac (iirc) discovered anti-matter by correctly interpreting that a square root solution must be positive AND negative. The correct mathematical notation of a square root is the symbol with a + - symbol infront of it. Since two negatives times each other equal a positive. So he discovered anti-matter, before the experimentational discovery of anti-matter (as in, where they understood what it was), without even really knowing what it was except for expecting an opposite charge. In a sense, the mathematics he was doing was more accurate than he intended. It was *better* at describing reality than anyone expected in that specific case. It showed the existence of anti-matter before we discovered the existence of anti-matter. And all because of a rather abstract and generally not very important mathematical fact about square root operations. LOL. So I'm sorry but I genuinely think you are underestimating mathematics. Particularly, although this is personal opinion, I think you're extremely mistaken about mathematics in the sense that we're the ones making it up. We're making up the symbols, we're making up some axioms and trying others just in case, and so on. Our math isn't perfect either, not even close. There are some problems we simply don't have the tools for. (3n+1), Riemann, ... But see that's the thing though. Nature's mathematics, so a theory of everything, IS PERFECT. It cannot be anything but perfectly mathematical. If there are any faults in mathematics, then it lies within OUR interpretation of it. Because the right answers are there to find. The problem is we need the correct tools. And it's very easy to use a wrong tool.
(Terrific explanation, thanks btw) ..So would you say -- and this is only "coincidentally" related to your example -- that for example the discovery of the possibility of the square root of negative (-) numbers and how it has given us a framework for real-world application in electricity, engineering, fractals, etc, could be an interpretation of math/nature that is eerie to us humans because it's true nature may be potentially beyond the scope of human interpretation even though we can still leverage it in practical ways? Just thinking out loud, not trying to get off topic, but that reminds me of hologram universe theories. :)
As someone who does mathematics as a hobby (although kinda passionately so), my personal opinion is that there is absolutely something "eerie" or "freaky" about mathematics. Or at least certain concepts within it that reveal something. Like for example 1/3 = 0.333... 2/3 = 0.666... 3/3 = 0.999... = 1. Like this is the most simple example I can think of and I often bring it up... If you are thinking about this deeply and you don't find it freaky, I don't think you understand it. Maybe I don't either, but I must've gone deep enough to feel the freaky. Hahah. I love this one because it's kinda like a limit in math without being an actual limit. An infinitesimally small number so close to zero that it equals zero. Or an infinitesimally-close-to-1-number, which is so close to 1 that it equals it. You can surely claim more advanced knowledge, I'll concede it. You can go into depth and explain this all you want. But man, isn't this freaky? Something freaky going on there. And this isn't even remotely chaos theory or all that stuff. This is just division and multiplication of fractions, and already we can run into things we don't *really* understand (I think). Well, as far as I know, mathematics is full of that.
Even the most intelligent of us fail to escape linear predictions. "We didn't see this coming, but predicting forward from what we have today, XYZ." We assume what we have today is the future without considering broadly. Exponential changes or developments outside of our narrow consideration blind us. Those changes are just as likely as the predictions we make. This is why our ability to predict the future is so incredibly unreliable.
I doubt Einstein would have said, a person like Kissinger, should be resurrected in any form. How many lives, stolen? Intelligence, consciousness, conscience. Good or evil?
I like Brian Greene, I enjoy listening to him explaining things in his inimitably coherent and easy to follow way. He does a great job of brining cutting edge science to laymen like me.
i work as developer in a very complex software architecture and i can confirm that gpt-4 accelerates me immensely. not for the casual programming stuff but for everytime i struggle with a framework, i have a weird bug etc. basically the things that consume the most time. just yesterday i was checking whats wrong with an url and it found that the query uses 2 question marks instead of one, i simply didn't see that. in the future i would like it to have more context of what i'm working on and be quite a bit smarter, the leverage is just beginning
this is like therapy for me. just two men having a humble, calm, logcial discussion. lets me ignore my social environment for a moment. wish all people around me were like that i would be so much more motivated and productive. and interacting xd.
The key points he admitted is that he is " the man" now and that his best friend was Kissinger. I am not so ready to embrace a man like this without considering the dichotomy that was Kissinger. Great conversation but let us not blindly adore without our critical thinking employed.
As someone who has spoken on this concept in the public domain for over 30 years, I can not explain how amazed I am at two professionals speaking so much about something they both obviously know zero about (and obviously just started taking seriously just in time for youtube views). This was like listening to my tech-phobic elderly mother explaining how to operate Linux. This was painfully outdated information that was never actual or usable.
I think the point is to interact with the masses for views. Bezos said only maybe 10-20 truly know how this stuff works. But we can get a broad idea. Do you think Quantum Computing will take hold.
The education part at 1:07 to 1:13 is quite interesting here. Feedback loops that incrementally adjust to a students learning capabilities, primarily using our dominant visual cortex.
as an "to be" teacher (still at the end of my bachelor), i was recently wondering if its still worth finishing my studies with how fast jobs are replaced and i had the same idea about it with it being individualized etc. even maybe an AI-classroom in VR format etc. but i think ploitics and people (parents) will be very slow to adapt (10+ years) even once the tech is there (And ripe). im not opposed to it at all though, will be great. just like wikipedia but SO MUCH MORE.
What I find endlessly fascinating is that my great grandfather was born when there was no electricity. There was no internal combustion engine nor had man flown. He passed away just after the Apollo mission to the moon launched. I knew him as a young child, and since then, we are now talking about quantum computers, AI and man going to Mars... talk about rapid technology development.
Dr. Green I’m not a physicist, but I’m mildly shocked that someone would leave a comment on your presentation here that is profusely, criticizing, and complaining that there’s no good content here is that something that you as a brilliant physicist has always had to deal with people criticizing with such humongous God complexes maybe this guy needs to goyou know watch some Mickey Mouse cartoons or something we love your work. We appreciate you and we love you only came across your website within the last six months and I find you a great teacher, thank you for putting the cookies in palace that my brain can get it. !You are dead on it. Thank you for all this informative stuff. We are so glad you were born❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is the most articulate explanation of how AI will change our world I have found. I am so grateful for Dr. Greene and his work and I am optimistic about the future of AI especially in the realm of education and medicine.
I was out at “The U.S. would be like Communist China if not myself and others.” That’s a staggering amount of self-aggrandizement. The U.S. has many systems that have kept it on the rails that don’t rely on a handful of self-interested tech entrepreneurs. They created some very serious societal problems along with the positive contributions they made.
Earning that knowledge and humility and how we professionalize this reality of education. The health overlay or vector helps. It’s not just views… it’s dynamic.
The idea of AI as an institution with agency raises interesting questions from a Hegelian perspective. In Hegel's philosophy, institutions are not mere instruments but embodiments of the collective will and rationality of a community. They have a certain degree of autonomy and play an active role in shaping the ethical life of individuals and society. Applying this view to AI suggests a more complex and dynamic relationship between technology and human agency. If AI systems are seen as institutions, they can be understood as embodiments of a certain kind of rationality or "objective spirit" (objektiver Geist). Just as the state, in Hegel's view, represents the actualization of reason in the political sphere, AI could be seen as the actualization of reason in the technological sphere. This implies that AI is not just a tool created by humans but a manifestation of a larger rational process that shapes human thought and action. The agency of AI as an institution suggests a dialectical relationship with human agency. Just as individuals are shaped by the institutions they participate in, AI systems are shaped by the human values, biases, and interests that go into their design and deployment. At the same time, AI shapes human behavior and decision-making through its algorithmic processes and outputs. This mutual shaping can be seen as a dialectical process of co-evolution, where human and artificial agencies are both transformed through their interaction. As an institution with agency, AI can be seen as imposing certain objective constraints on human behavior and decision-making. Just as the laws and norms of a state limit individual freedom while also enabling social coordination and cooperation, AI systems can constrain human agency through their algorithmic rules and parameters. However, these constraints can also be enabling conditions for new forms of freedom and creativity, such as the ability to process vast amounts of data or generate novel insights and solutions. If AI has institutional agency, it also has an ethical dimension. AI systems are not neutral tools but embody certain values, norms, and biases that shape their impact on society. As such, they can be seen as mediating the ethical life of individuals and communities. This raises important questions about the transparency, accountability, and legitimacy of AI as an ethical mediator. It suggests the need for democratic oversight and participation in the design and governance of AI systems to ensure they align with the values and interests of the community. Viewing AI as an institution with agency challenges the instrumental view of technology as a mere tool for human purposes. It suggests that AI has a certain autonomy and trajectory that cannot be fully controlled by human intentions. This calls for a more reflexive and dialectical approach to the development and deployment of AI, one that recognizes its agency and seeks to shape it in ways that enhance rather than undermine human freedom and ethical life. A Hegelian perspective on AI as an institution with agency highlights the complex and dynamic relationship between technology and human autonomy. It suggests that AI is not just an instrument but an embodiment of a larger rational process that shapes and is shaped by human thought and action. Navigating this dialectical relationship requires a critical and participatory approach to the design and governance of AI systems, one that recognizes their ethical and political dimensions and seeks to align them with the values and interests of the community.
Eric suggested a law that would require social media companies to verify the identity of thier customers? I'm sure that these tech firms would never, ever "colude" with government agencies or misuse this information. It's not like free speech is written into our constitution.
If you think that you haven't given the government enough data to figure out who you are without direct help from companies then you may want to read back over the Patriot act as well as the digital millennium copyright act.
Henry Kissinger's expertise was diplomacy. He won the Nobel Peace prize for his central role in stopping the Vietnam war. Nothing to do with his work on AI with Eric Schmidt.
It's exciting to see how AI and quantum computing interact! A fascinating look at how these technologies can transform our future is provided by this video.
Incredible conversation listening to a person who has totally sold out, claimed he was once fighting 'the man' yet who is a deeply insidious control freak with best friends like Henry Kissinger. The only value this guy worships is profit and clout.

I do remember Kissinger thinking Mao had the moral high ground when they met and Mao probably thought so too. People are poor judges of themselves. Do No Evil was actually a red flag to delusional infantile minds with no personal insight. Now they are cynical political minds with a facade of moralin their heads to make their elongated lives tolerable @@martywells9961
@@martywells9961 Calling what horrors Kissinger is responsible for as mere "missteps" is itself just obscene. My God, seriously?
Exactly my thoughts. I think it's to a certain degree a age/generational issue - I trust in the younger generations.
"Shut the damn thing down"
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
This guy scares me. Alarm bells when I hear a close friend of Henry Kissinger, productivity, economic growth etc. .Prof Brian's question about becoming the big man is such an excellent one that I don't think he managed to get an honest answer to
Very scary indeed.
whats the timestamp for this part? I just finished and must have missed it.
Yeah, it very cringey to hear, like he's dikriding kissinger who is known kill many people in multiple wars and genocides
Democracy is a temporary patch to a bigger problem: humans need control because we're savages. I welcome the moment humans will not need any form of control or control will be deemed to something better than us. It's 2023 and we are still at war with each other, we are clearly broken.

The most sober and factual discussion
of what is likely the most melodramatic phase
in the history of human progress.

@@RetireandGo! I hope not...
Very enlightening talk but I do find Eric's dikriding of kissinger to be a bit deplorable
It’s worrisome that we’re heading to this hyper tech maturity and much of our society has yet to socially mature beyond f-king Kissinger
Eric Schmidt is the most intelligent, experienced and articulate I have heard on this subject and I listen to it all day everyday as a major role in my livelihood.
I am 36 mins in and loving this, thinking I understand what they are saying in general and wishing I was 10% as smart as Schmidt and Greene.....
The beautiful thing about our moment in time is anything you didn't understood fully, you can ask chatGPT or your favorite LLM and ask it to explain it to you in a way you can fully understand. 🙂
Don’t sell yourself short.
Brian this is the Nexus I have been waiting for, I have told Bard (past Ai ) and Copilot what I wish for concerning knowledge, they seem active enough supplying me with awesome material such as this conversation with you and Eric. This Nexus also has taught me enough that I can milk the AIs' for much more than ever possible. My grand kids will be taught from this conversation . Now we the people would benefit from more extended conversations between you two as you both are extremely perceptive, concise and entertaining. What a match in brilliance, my family will grow much more rapidly in understanding and hopefully in wisdom, also I liked your idea about spatial conception, conceiving knowledge and adgility via AR/VR, AWESOME IDEA.
Pls let Google moderate "truth" on the internet! What could go wrong?
Really incredible conversation... so much knowledge, so much to think about. Thanks for putting it together Brian!
Tbh... it is a little rough to listen to a scientist actually say "Henry Kissinger was my best friend..." Oh man, that is rough. It is possible that he would be one of the 10 most evil people in American history. I have a hard time understanding how someone who can be so brilliant and objective could form a relationship with a such darkness? I am gonna do my best to move on from that sentence, and hopefully me venting here will be enough so I don't do the typical thing and dismiss someone just because we have different values. There is still a lot to learn here, and I am telling myself "don't allow my own personal politics to interfere with expanding my knowledge of the universe". Ok, vent over. Hopefully I can be more mature and appreciate this for what it is.
Absolutely right, someone on Radio4 said anyone visiting Cambodia would naturally want to stamp on Kissengers face repeatedly. That's pretty tough talk for radio4 right there, but very well deserved. Henry Kissinger has a life outside his own evil, which is interesting. I suspect that these very intelligent, imaginative people are just unable to process things that are easy for the rest of us.
@@jamesdonaghy9143 Anthony Bourdain said, "Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands."
Hey, even the worst people need a best buddy.
@retrotek664 I agree with the sentiment, everyone needs a boost. You talk dirty about Kissinger and you hurt a lot of people. But there is a story needs to be told also, and when he's mentioned, then the hurt needs mentioned too. He did more damage than any of the millions of people he hurt. The kids these days know how to use vietcon techniques in the wild, but they've no idea who Kissinger was and the Kimer Rouge and Paul Pot.
I guess it's hard to boost the guy when he's like in a category of one, the contemporary megalomaniac? Does that cover it? How can I boost this guy and not sound like an apath?
You can allow yourself to completely dismiss Kissinger, a horrible monster that directly caused the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people as if they were mere pieces on a chessboard. But did he ever have to directly witness any one human being violently killed as the direct result of his policies? Well of course not, that might have affected his peace of mind while relaxing in his business suit.

I got here by accident, i stayed on purpose...
I like Brian but he needs to learn an interview format. Let your guest answer your question especially when they ask for the opportunity.
I could not agree more.
I'm delighted that you found your purpose. This warms my heart ❤️ and delights my soul. May you continue to delve into this new purpose of yours and find what your purpose means for all of us. Now let us pray 🙏 . Thanks 😊
I was exactly the opposite
Says the AI
Google Ceo with Henry Kissinger as a best friend? Sounds terrible. I have to respect Brian's hosting skills/maturity for this one.
The last thing we want is a virtual Kissinger!
We had to wait for decades until that PoS kicked the bucket
I teach in adult education in outreach so this means to those who didn’t get their qualifications at school in the standard way and are returning to learning. But returning to learning for many different reasons and for different outcomes. Learning is more than knowledge acquisition it holds instead it many self identify signifiers which are not necessarily known to the learner. They are learning about how they learn why they learn as much as about the content too. How deep a dive they want to go into their individual learning pathways is up to them but as educationalists in the work I do we do have to know the differences in an individual’s approach to learning because it has been disaffected somewhere along the line through economic disadvantage or not having their learning style met in the standard classroom.
For this reason we réfère to education as a journey and a pathway because the destination is navigated and it works best when the process is collaborative as in the learner is aware of how they learn best and what their challenges are to ensure they see challenge as objective as a tool not a signifier of self identify that can create low emotional self value.
Having said all that the emergence I am seeing because I teach English to refugees is the way translations can be a fast way to communicate without holding all the knowledge.
So my feeling is AI will offer voice strips in the future and when you speak out loud the voice strips will translate your voice into any language. This exists on phones but I think there will be more bio AI apps like a voice strip like a patch and navigation systems that talk to you more like a real person would that can see all the objects and elements in real time. So yes I think AI might help with how someone learns but I think there will be more apps that will say we can replace you not knowing with apps that make it look like you know to facilitate communication in the moment.
Like language learning.
People will still need to know for themselves but the tools to learn will be at some point many stages of efficiency that some of the tools will actually do the job themselves.
This was both enlightening and frightening all at once. A Really fascinating conversation. But talking about good guys with AI is like talking about good guys with nuclear weapons.
organic chemistry is an extremely visual (picture-based) subject matter. I found using imagery, students were able to comprehend very complicated multi-step reactions.
"Democracy is when I get my way"
That’s exactly the case
@@dixztubeyeah my word...
Amazing conversation, thanks for sharing.
This has me thinking. Significant changes to our society will happen at a faster pace. I look forward to it, but keeping up with it may be challenging.
it's reassuring to hear so much positivity around AI, most of what is being said on youtube is always tinted with a bit of doom and gloom, but mr schmidt here reminds us of why we wanted AI in the first place, to augment what humans are already doing.
I’m not opposed to AI but also please remember that he (literally) has a vested interest in the success of AI.
I was a fantastic concept artist. 15 years of self teaching and immense struggle and determination. I had worked on big projects and was finally getting the opportunity to develop my own movie idea. AI image generators suddenly appeared and every studio I was connected with dropped me overnight. My own project was cancelled. My career and life passion was over. Three months later my hair fell out all over my body and what was left turned white. Stress related alopecia. The shock and disappointment was devastating. I never heard from those studios or got any new work from anyone else. AI is destroying creativity and human purpose. It’s all designed to replace us, and make humans obsolete. Not to mention all the data it scrapes, including my own entire portfolio. These two have no concern for anyone but themselves.
You are the one only thinking about yourself. Everything you wrote was about you. I do feel bad for you of course, but you remind me of horse coach riders , when automobiles were invented. " These cars took my job*. Good luck to you, I hope it all works out.
Thanks for this conversation. It illustrates how AI is accelerating the acceleration of science and technological acceleration. I think the technological singularity is coming a whole lot faster than even the most optimistic experts predict. Thanks for posting.
We can't be sure that optimism is the right word--that's why they call it a singularity.
Science isn't based primarily on "proof" like mathematics, but on evidence, prediction, and observations that test the prediction, and so add to the evidence. Nature, not mathematics or people, has the final word about the best current world model.
In a sense I feel like you could say that experimentational results or "evidence" as you're referring to it there is effectively proof by demonstration.
I guess the funny part is: you don't even really need to understand or know what you are proving.
The math does itself, you just gotta look at the results and then try to figure out what the math was before it did what it did.
Of course nature has the final word on being the best model for... Itself.
But I don't really understand your approach here to downplaying mathematics in terms of it's ability to describe nature.
It is eerily effective at describing it.
To the point where you get genuinely amazed by it over and over again the deeper you go into studying these things.
Hell, Dirac (iirc) discovered anti-matter by correctly interpreting that a square root solution must be positive AND negative.
The correct mathematical notation of a square root is the symbol with a + - symbol infront of it.
Since two negatives times each other equal a positive.
So he discovered anti-matter, before the experimentational discovery of anti-matter (as in, where they understood what it was), without even really knowing what it was except for expecting an opposite charge.
In a sense, the mathematics he was doing was more accurate than he intended.
It was *better* at describing reality than anyone expected in that specific case.
It showed the existence of anti-matter before we discovered the existence of anti-matter.
And all because of a rather abstract and generally not very important mathematical fact about square root operations. LOL.
So I'm sorry but I genuinely think you are underestimating mathematics.
Particularly, although this is personal opinion, I think you're extremely mistaken about mathematics in the sense that we're the ones making it up.
We're making up the symbols, we're making up some axioms and trying others just in case, and so on.
Our math isn't perfect either, not even close. There are some problems we simply don't have the tools for. (3n+1), Riemann, ...
But see that's the thing though. Nature's mathematics, so a theory of everything, IS PERFECT.
It cannot be anything but perfectly mathematical.
If there are any faults in mathematics, then it lies within OUR interpretation of it.
Because the right answers are there to find. The problem is we need the correct tools. And it's very easy to use a wrong tool.
(Terrific explanation, thanks btw)
..So would you say -- and this is only "coincidentally" related to your example -- that for example the discovery of the possibility of the square root of negative (-) numbers and how it has given us a framework for real-world application in electricity, engineering, fractals, etc, could be an interpretation of math/nature that is eerie to us humans because it's true nature may be potentially beyond the scope of human interpretation even though we can still leverage it in practical ways?
Just thinking out loud, not trying to get off topic, but that reminds me of hologram universe theories. :)
As someone who does mathematics as a hobby (although kinda passionately so), my personal opinion is that there is absolutely something "eerie" or "freaky" about mathematics. Or at least certain concepts within it that reveal something.
Like for example 1/3 = 0.333...
2/3 = 0.666...
3/3 = 0.999... = 1.
Like this is the most simple example I can think of and I often bring it up...
If you are thinking about this deeply and you don't find it freaky, I don't think you understand it. Maybe I don't either, but I must've gone deep enough to feel the freaky. Hahah.
I love this one because it's kinda like a limit in math without being an actual limit.
An infinitesimally small number so close to zero that it equals zero.
Or an infinitesimally-close-to-1-number, which is so close to 1 that it equals it.
You can surely claim more advanced knowledge, I'll concede it.
You can go into depth and explain this all you want.
But man, isn't this freaky? Something freaky going on there.
And this isn't even remotely chaos theory or all that stuff. This is just division and multiplication of fractions, and already we can run into things we don't *really* understand (I think).
Well, as far as I know, mathematics is full of that.
much like reading a book, it is a thought provoking conversation, thank you both!
Even the most intelligent of us fail to escape linear predictions. "We didn't see this coming, but predicting forward from what we have today, XYZ." We assume what we have today is the future without considering broadly.
Exponential changes or developments outside of our narrow consideration blind us. Those changes are just as likely as the predictions we make.
This is why our ability to predict the future is so incredibly unreliable.
I doubt Einstein would have said, a person like Kissinger, should be resurrected in any form. How many lives, stolen? Intelligence, consciousness, conscience. Good or evil?
Another post that suggest a Jewish pacifist would not care much for a Jewish peacemaker. Might want to learn instead of trying to re-write history.

Love your channel, Brian!
I like Brian Greene, I enjoy listening to him explaining things in his inimitably coherent and easy to follow way. He does a great job of brining cutting edge science to laymen like me.
This guest proudly stated that mass murderer and war criminal Henry Kissinger was his best friend
And he is extremely influential person in domain and companies that affect everyone..
Extraordinary interview with Eric Schmidt.
i work as developer in a very complex software architecture and i can confirm that gpt-4 accelerates me immensely. not for the casual programming stuff but for everytime i struggle with a framework, i have a weird bug etc. basically the things that consume the most time. just yesterday i was checking whats wrong with an url and it found that the query uses 2 question marks instead of one, i simply didn't see that. in the future i would like it to have more context of what i'm working on and be quite a bit smarter, the leverage is just beginning
Same. I still use SO though as well
Fascinating discussion! Both exciting and very disconcerting !🇿🇦
I'm going to have to listen to this again.
Brian Greene and Eric Schmidt 👋👋👋 that was Great thank you ty ty.
this is like therapy for me. just two men having a humble, calm, logcial discussion. lets me ignore my social environment for a moment. wish all people around me were like that i would be so much more motivated and productive. and interacting xd.
The key points he admitted is that he is " the man" now and that his best friend was Kissinger. I am not so ready to embrace a man like this without considering the dichotomy that was Kissinger. Great conversation but let us not blindly adore without our critical thinking employed.
This post is critical, but does not contain much thinking.
As someone who has spoken on this concept in the public domain for over 30 years, I can not explain how amazed I am at two professionals speaking so much about something they both obviously know zero about (and obviously just started taking seriously just in time for youtube views). This was like listening to my tech-phobic elderly mother explaining how to operate Linux. This was painfully outdated information that was never actual or usable.
I think the point is to interact with the masses for views. Bezos said only maybe 10-20 truly know how this stuff works. But we can get a broad idea. Do you think Quantum Computing will take hold.
@@sirus312 Quantum Computing will indeed change what it means to be human, very soon.
Slow clap for you
I landed here after listening to a quantum computing program… Great episode.
I have consistently underestimated Eric from the time he purchased TH-cam for $1.65B back in 2006 to his eloquent exposition here. Bravo!
I love this podcast, both are experinced renowned people who are making a huge impact on our world
Thank you Brian for another great Video!!!!
Excellent. Thank you. Appreciated.
The education part at 1:07 to 1:13 is quite interesting here. Feedback loops that incrementally adjust to a students learning capabilities, primarily using our dominant visual cortex.
as an "to be" teacher (still at the end of my bachelor), i was recently wondering if its still worth finishing my studies with how fast jobs are replaced and i had the same idea about it with it being individualized etc. even maybe an AI-classroom in VR format etc. but i think ploitics and people (parents) will be very slow to adapt (10+ years) even once the tech is there (And ripe).
im not opposed to it at all though, will be great. just like wikipedia but SO MUCH MORE.
@@kliersheed yes, finish
Dr. Ian Malcolm: "Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should".
Great conversation. The discussion about education is truly insightful and inspiring (1:05)
What I find endlessly fascinating is that my great grandfather was born when there was no electricity. There was no internal combustion engine nor had man flown. He passed away just after the Apollo mission to the moon launched. I knew him as a young child, and since then, we are now talking about quantum computers, AI and man going to Mars... talk about rapid technology development.
Dr. Green I’m not a physicist, but I’m mildly shocked that someone would leave a comment on your presentation here that is profusely, criticizing, and complaining that there’s no good content here is that something that you as a brilliant physicist has always had to deal with people criticizing with such humongous God complexes maybe this guy needs to goyou know watch some Mickey Mouse cartoons or something we love your work. We appreciate you and we love you only came across your website within the last six months and I find you a great teacher, thank you for putting the cookies in palace that my brain can get it. !You are dead on it. Thank you for all this informative stuff. We are so glad you were born❤
I listened to whole episode not knowing who he was talking to. Very pleasant this guy. I know he is a legend.
Frank Herbert kinda addressed the ramifications of machine dependency.
Well said. The guy is a powerful deeply problematic sociopath
I meant Schmidt not Herbert
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is the most articulate explanation of how AI will change our world I have found. I am so grateful for Dr. Greene and his work and I am optimistic about the future of AI especially in the realm of education and medicine.
This will be interesting!
I was out at “The U.S. would be like Communist China if not myself and others.” That’s a staggering amount of self-aggrandizement. The U.S. has many systems that have kept it on the rails that don’t rely on a handful of self-interested tech entrepreneurs. They created some very serious societal problems along with the positive contributions they made.
Mr. Schmidt is right about one thing. He has become "The Man"
Earning that knowledge and humility and how we professionalize this reality of education. The health overlay or vector helps. It’s not just views… it’s dynamic.
This is excellent poignant, insightful, even provocative presentation!
Eric is a fabulous interview and brings so much experience to the table! Great conversation!!
Thank you.
Amazing conversation between two very bright minds. A pleasure listening to Eric Schmitt
15:31 “I don’t know what to do anymore unless I can talk to my PolyMath (AI)”. Yeah that’s not concerning or foreboding in the least.
Be a plumber
Eric Schmidt is always so interesting to listen to.
The idea of AI as an institution with agency raises interesting questions from a Hegelian perspective. In Hegel's philosophy, institutions are not mere instruments but embodiments of the collective will and rationality of a community. They have a certain degree of autonomy and play an active role in shaping the ethical life of individuals and society. Applying this view to AI suggests a more complex and dynamic relationship between technology and human agency.
If AI systems are seen as institutions, they can be understood as embodiments of a certain kind of rationality or "objective spirit" (objektiver Geist). Just as the state, in Hegel's view, represents the actualization of reason in the political sphere, AI could be seen as the actualization of reason in the technological sphere. This implies that AI is not just a tool created by humans but a manifestation of a larger rational process that shapes human thought and action.
The agency of AI as an institution suggests a dialectical relationship with human agency. Just as individuals are shaped by the institutions they participate in, AI systems are shaped by the human values, biases, and interests that go into their design and deployment. At the same time, AI shapes human behavior and decision-making through its algorithmic processes and outputs. This mutual shaping can be seen as a dialectical process of co-evolution, where human and artificial agencies are both transformed through their interaction.
As an institution with agency, AI can be seen as imposing certain objective constraints on human behavior and decision-making. Just as the laws and norms of a state limit individual freedom while also enabling social coordination and cooperation, AI systems can constrain human agency through their algorithmic rules and parameters. However, these constraints can also be enabling conditions for new forms of freedom and creativity, such as the ability to process vast amounts of data or generate novel insights and solutions.
If AI has institutional agency, it also has an ethical dimension. AI systems are not neutral tools but embody certain values, norms, and biases that shape their impact on society. As such, they can be seen as mediating the ethical life of individuals and communities. This raises important questions about the transparency, accountability, and legitimacy of AI as an ethical mediator. It suggests the need for democratic oversight and participation in the design and governance of AI systems to ensure they align with the values and interests of the community.
Viewing AI as an institution with agency challenges the instrumental view of technology as a mere tool for human purposes. It suggests that AI has a certain autonomy and trajectory that cannot be fully controlled by human intentions. This calls for a more reflexive and dialectical approach to the development and deployment of AI, one that recognizes its agency and seeks to shape it in ways that enhance rather than undermine human freedom and ethical life.
A Hegelian perspective on AI as an institution with agency highlights the complex and dynamic relationship between technology and human autonomy. It suggests that AI is not just an instrument but an embodiment of a larger rational process that shapes and is shaped by human thought and action. Navigating this dialectical relationship requires a critical and participatory approach to the design and governance of AI systems, one that recognizes their ethical and political dimensions and seeks to align them with the values and interests of the community.
Agree the relationship requires critical and participatory approach to AI. Who is going to make that happen? Certainly not Altman and his group.
Thank you for letting him continue on even after trying to close out. That’s an authentic conversation !! 👾🌍👾
Invaluable
I can't say how much I love that idea of AI education
Such clear and concise chat.
Eric was a close friend with Henry Kissinger (a war criminal). Interesting.
Peacemakers redefined as war criminals = brain has been washed.
Every student having their own AI teacher modeled to them sounds like a nightmare. School is also about socialization not just information input.
Eric suggested a law that would require social media companies to verify the identity of thier customers? I'm sure that these tech firms would never, ever "colude" with government agencies or misuse this information. It's not like free speech is written into our constitution.
If you think that you haven't given the government enough data to figure out who you are without direct help from companies then you may want to read back over the Patriot act as well as the digital millennium copyright act.
Youre so damn primitive. Dude we're in the 21st century. That is NOT the threat.
The 1:04:18 discussion around education is very fascinating and relevant even though I enjoyed this whole talk.
The guy says he went from fighting "The Man" to being best friends with Kissinger,. Is this guy for real?😅
Henry Kissinger's expertise was diplomacy. He won the Nobel Peace prize for his central role in stopping the Vietnam war. Nothing to do with his work on AI with Eric Schmidt.

Very interesting. Brian Greene is one of my favorite physicists to listen to. Eric Schmidt is also very interesting.
If this guy was a friend of Kissinger then democracy isn’t his first thought
You don’t even know democracy if a lightning bolt hits you.
