MOVE ON.
STUART: ELON MUSK IS -- ELON
MUSK IS BACKING AN ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE COMPANY, IT
DEVELOPED A BOOT -- BOT THAT
PLAYS VIDEO GAMES AND BEAT SOME
OF THE BEST HUMAN PLAYERS.
JOINING US IS OPEN AI, THAT'S
THE NAME OF THE COMPANY, THE
COFOUNDER GREG IS WITH US NOW.
IF YOU HAVE A BOT AND BEATS
HUMANS AT VIDEO GAMES, ISN'T
THAT A SIGN THAT BOTS, ROBOTS
ARE TAKING OVER, ISN'T IT?
>> WELL, I THINK, FIRST OF ALL,
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS
REALLY ABOUT ENHANCING WHAT
HUMANS CAN DO AND IF YOU LOOK AT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH HUMANS HAVING
THEIR CAPABILITIES EXCEEDED IN
THE TOP PLAYERS HAVE LEARNED A
LOT FROM THE SYSTEMS.
AND BEFORE IT'S ABOUT BUILDING
SYSTEM THAT IS CAN BE DEPLOYED
WITH INCREASING RESPONSIBILITY
IN THE REAL WORLD, FOR EXAMPLE,
WITH AUTONOMOUS ELDERLY CARE
ROBOTS THAT HELP PEOPLE LIVE
THEIR LIFE.
LEARNS HOW THE PLAY THESE GAMES,
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
IT ACTUALLY PLAYS 180 YEAR'S
WORTH OF GAME PLAY ITSELF EVERY
DAY AND ENTIRELY RANDOM, WALKING
AROUND AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO
DO AND TRYING STUFF OUT AND WHEN
ITSELF TO MAKE REPEATING THAT
ACTION BE A LITTLE BIT MORE
PROBABLE AND KEEPS WANDERING
AROUND DOING THINGS AND GETTING
BETTER AND BETTER.
ONE THING THAT WE SEE IS SKILL
PROGRESSION MATCHES SKILL
EVENTUALLY STARTS TO LEARN
LONG-TERM PLANNING AND LONG-TERM
STRATEGY.
STUART: YOUR BOT BEATS THE
WORLD'S BEST HUMAN PLAYERS, IS
THAT ACCURATE?
>> SO LAST YEAR WE HAD A
PRELIMINARY VERSION OF THE
SYSTEM WHICH IN THE ONE-ON-ONE
VERSION OF DOTO2 DEFEATED THE
WORLD'S BEST.
THAT TEAM UP TO PLAY AGAINST B
FIVE HUMANS AND HERE WE START TO
BEAT AMATEUR TEAMS.
OUR GOAL TO GO TO DOTO
CHAMPIONSHIPS AND BEAT
PROFESSIONALS.
STUART: YOU REALIZE THERE'S A
WHOLE NEW INDUSTRY ABOUT HUMAN
LARGE HUMAN AUDIENCE, THIS IS A
VERY BIG BUSINESS, YOU COULD PUT
THAT OUT OF BUSINESS, COULDN'T
YOU?
>> WELL, HUMANS STILL RUN TRACK
EVEN THOUGH A LOT FASTER.
[LAUGHTER]
STUART: DO YOU THINK --
WORRIED ABOUT THIS, LITTLE
GOAL, BENEFITS OF TECHNOLOGY IS
SHARED WITH EVERYONE RATHER THAN
LOCKED UP WITH ONE COMPANY AND
SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WE
THINK THAT THESE TECHNOLOGIES
JUST LIKE THE INTERNET BEFORE
WILL AFFECT EVERYONE'S LIVES.
STUART: I'M SORRY, LET ME ASK
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT APPLYING
YOUR TECHNOLOGY TO THE MILITARY?
>> SO ONE THING ABOUT THE
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEING
BUILT TODAY IS THAT THEY ARE
GENERAL PURPOSE AND, IN FACT,
THE SYSTEM THAT WE BUILT TODAY
WAS USING ALGORITHMS THAT HAVE
ALREADY EXISTED THAT WE SCALED
THEM UP MUCH LARGER THAN BEFORE.
I THINK THAT THE DUAL USE NATURE
OF TECHNOLOGIES IS SOMETHING
THAT WE ARE COGNIZANT OF AND IN
THINKING ABOUT HOW ARE PEOPLE
GOING TO APPLY THESE, NOT JUST
AFFECTS THE WORLD AND SO I THINK
THAT OUR COMPANY THAT WE ARE
FOCUSED ON ENSURING THE BENEFITS
GO TO EVERYONE BUT WE SHOULD
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE WILL BE
APPLYING TECHNOLOGIES IN WAY
THAT IS WE DON'T ANTICIPATE AND
BY THINKING AHEAD AND THINKING
ABOUT THE WAYS THAT PEOPLE WILL
ABUSE THESE TECHNOLOGIES THEN WE
CAN CHOOSE TO NOT INVEST IN
THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS.
YOU EXPLAIN A DIFFICULT SUBJECT
