    It is kinda funny that in this speech Stephen Fry asks very simply to please use a BIG A, and a small i when refering to Ai. Yet, the title of this video uses AI instead of Ai. I'm all for Ai, I think visually it's way more interesting...... now my brain is spinning, think about the marketing for the new AiPhone.

    was it here : On 14 September 2023, Fry was taken to hospital after he fell about 6 ft (1.8 m) onto a concrete floor, when exiting the stage following a conference on artificial intelligence at The O2 Arena in Greenwich; he had sustained injuries to his ribs and legs. ?

    I just don’t see the upsides of A.I. being comparable to the downsides. What this is going to do to our ability to determine what is real or fake is going to be so destructive. Unless you interact with a someone in person you won’t have a clue if they actually said or did something.

      I think you provided the solution yourself 'only when talking in person' the answer is to go back to more face to face interaction, and the knowledge that you can't belive anything you see online would benefit a lot of people who blindly swallow what they see.

    This is a new definition of The Singularity to me. To my mind it wasn't just an Ai that was as independent as a human consciousness, but more the unification of human consciousness with an Ai that could improve itself. That's still in the realm of science fiction, but was a much grander idea for that term.

    I'm glad he pulled up ChatGPT not being Ai, we can't actually know at this stage what Ai should be. But for now it's just a very advanced form of automation. The question is whether our notion of 'intelligence' exists in 'nature'. But beyond this there are certainly matters of the mental supernatural which don't seem to be explainable by any mathematical mechanism.

    • @welcomewonder1604
      @welcomewonder1604 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      My thoughts exactly. But I think it’s a case of how he’s mic’d up. I think he’s using the mic that’s on his body, and it’s only designed to pick up sound in really close proximity, so the audience audio doesn’t get pulled in. Definitely a strange thing to leave out during editing though, considering that room must have one or two mics to pick up the audience’s reactions.

    Within western philosophy and study of the environment it is clear that birds, plants, animals and insects are of equal importance to humans. We are interlinked.
    The predominant human bias even in the West is that this doesn't matter so much. But an AI will see it in very blunt terms. So if a "Western" AI considers men and women equal ... people of colour equal, different sexualities equal ... and children to be specially protected - and plants and animals, the ecosystem generally as equally important as humans ...
    ... maybe the AI will come to a more rational conclusion than most people can manage. That to protect humans the environment must be protected in the first place.

    how can AI drive a car and apply a primary directive to preserve human life? It can't. It can only do it by placing a price on human life and trying to make a 'best case' decision. Extrapolate that.

    25:30 one question on this: does it matter that China uses a dictator Ai for other countries? That will only have influence when there is a way to influence/force the people thinking differently. That means ultimately power over humans. Doesn't that mean it's a difference in degrees? The use of force is as old as human civilization.

    The video about the Dutch during the war was totally convincing. Did Stephen need copywrite and intellectual property permissions to use this in this lecture? Just because an Ai voice sounds convincingly like you it doesn't mean you own it. If the initial voice samples were legally obtained and publically available in what sense would the generated voice be the property of the original voice's owner? If I play a grand piano does the piano manufacturer have intellectual property rights to the music played on it? Maybe it is the style of your voice that you own? After all I am sure without any prompting many, maybe most, British people would know it was "Stephen Fry" even though it wasn't, just by the tone and style. So many grey areas here. Thank you Stephen for seeding some interesting ideas.

      The short-term effect of Ai is to replace jobs that people are now being paid a salary to do. Even now it is being used to evaluate and reject health insurance claims and give the companies a wall to hide behind. 'Oh, WE didn't reject your claim, Ai did... '
