trust human beings
and trust young people
let's take responsibility for today
but let's not take away all the
solutions for tomorrow
it's great human being make mistakes
it's great human beings learn from
mistakes
it's great to die
okay great ai yeah
um
actually
i'm told that does ai mean love it like
there's like a name ai it sort of sounds
a bit like love yeah a i i hate the word
a.i called artificial intelligence i
call it alibaba intelligence yeah
might end up being true you never know
um
i think generally people
underestimate the the capability
capability of ai they sort of think like
it's a smart human
um but it's
it's it's really much
it's going to be much more than that um
it'll be much smarter than the smartest
human
yeah can we be like
you know if like can a chimpanzee really
understand humans not really
you know
they're just we just seem like strange
aliens
um well they mostly just care about
other chimpanzees
uh and uh
this will be how it is more or less in a
relative in fact if it's if the
difference is only that small that would
be amazing it probably is much much
greater
i mean i really think that there should
be other companies like neurolink
essentially to create a high bandwidth
interface to the brain
because the
right right now we are already a cyborg
don't realize we are already a cyborg
because we are so well integrated with
our phones and our computers
uh the phone is almost like an extension
of yourself if you forget your phone
it's like a missing limb
um
but the bandwidth
the communication bandwidth to the phone
is very low especially input
so
in fact input bandwidth to computers has
actually gone down
because of typing with two thumbs as
opposed to 10 fingers is a big reduction
in bandwidth
input bandwidth has gone up because of
video
and imagery
so input bandwidth is many orders of
magnitude greater than output bandwidth
but at a certain point if we
will just
even
assuming a benign scenario with ai
we will just be too slow
i think ai is going to open a new
chapter of the society of the world that
people try to understand ourselves
better rather than the outside world
and
it's so difficult to predict the future
99.99
of the predictions the human being had
in history about the future all wrong
including that one oh yeah
only you know the the 0.00
of the prediction are right
they're right because by accident
yeah but it's also true that 80 of
statistics are false yeah
so
my meaning is
[Laughter]
i'm happy about the
artificial intelligence or alibaba
intelligence
that's going to understand a human the
inside of the human better so when
people worry a lot about artificial
intelligence
people should have more confidence in
themselves
because
i think if a lot of solutions we don't
have today but there will be solutions
tomorrow we don't have solutions for the
young people we have solutions
so i'm quite optimistic
and i don't think
artificial intelligence is a threat i
don't think that if it
intelligent is something terrible
but human beings are smart enough to
learn that and to me artificial
intelligence is just like
people worry a lot about this today are
those people i called them called
called
college smartness people like us street
smart we're never scared of that we we
think it's a great fun and we want to
change ourselves to embrace it i don't
know man that's like famous last words
this is
let me tell you ai
is
i mean you look at sort of
the rate of advancement just in general
the rate of advancement of computers is
insane um
like a good example would be video games
you know if you go back 40 40 years ago
or 50 years ago maybe
you had pong that was just two
rectangles and a square
now you've got photorealistic real-time
simulations with millions of people
playing simultaneously if you assume any
rate of improvement at all
the
i mean these games will be
indistinguishable from reality you will
not be able to tell the difference
either that or civilization will end
those are the two options
good
yeah
well let's talk about something fun i
i'm at the mind that you want to go on
the mars shall we go to the the mars
yeah yeah so what will the life look
like on mars are you both moving
what do you think about that i i
actually i'm not interested in mars
i just came back from there so
i'm more interested on the earth the
things what's going on happening here so
what why you are so curious about the
mars
i'm among the set of actions we can take
that are likely to increase the scope
and scale of consciousness such that we
are better able to understand the nature
of the universe
one of those actions is to become a
multi-planet species or ensure that life
is multi-planetary
not because i think something that
it's not not from from the standpoint of
it just being
an escape hatch or because i think that
earth is doomed
but there is a certain probability that
is irreducible
that something may happen to earth
despite
our best intentions despite everything
we try to do
the
there's a probability at a certain point
that some either external
force or
some internal unforced error
causes civilization to be destroyed
or sufficiently impaired such that it
can no longer
extend to another planet this is the
first time in the four and a half
billion year history of earth
that it's been possible
to extend life beyond earth
before this it was not possible
how long will this window be open
it may be open for a long time or it may
be open for a short time i think we
should it would be wise to assume that
it is open for a short time
and and and then let us uh secure the
future
secure the future of consciousness
such that life of the light of
consciousness is not extinguished
and we should try to do this as quickly
as possible
that's my view it's so difficult to
secure the future of the earth but we
can secure the future of next 100 years
i am i'm not the person that i admire
your courage for explore the mars
but i admire a lot of people spend
efforts on improving the earth
it's it's great to send 1 million people
to the mars but we have to care about
the 7.4 billion people on the earth how
can we make the world's most sustainable
and i'm not that fan of the mars because
i think it's easy to go to the marsh
when you go on the top of the hills of
all the of the building just the one
step you go to mars but you will never
be able to come back
yeah but that's
that works sir and uh
we cannot solve all the problems for
future
but we have to be responsible for the
future but we should care more about how
we can enjoy better my view is that by
the artificial intelligence or ai
when human beings understand ourselves
better
then we can improve the world better
last 200 years human beings try to
understand the other side were better
understand the other people better
declare a very pro-earth when i say
you know us becoming a multi-planet
species or making life multi
extending life beyond earth
expanding the scope and scale of
consciousness
um
from a resource standpoint i'm talking
about less than one percent of earth's
resources should be dedicated to
uh making life multi-planetary or making
consciousness multi-planetary so you
know i think it should be like somewhere
in between uh how much we spend on
lipstick and how much we spend on
healthcare like that you know things
like for the preservation of
consciousness
we should spend maybe slightly more than
we spend on on cosmetics that's my you
know and i'm pro cosmetics i like
they're great
but
but uh you know this is probably worth
spending
i don't know some like at least half a
percent of
earth's gdp on
extending life to be
multi-planetary
maybe one percent i'd say seems like a
good
a good use of resources
uh and but in 19 you know we have like
two orders magnitude more resources
spent on earth so it's not like it's
uh you know somehow going to
fundamentally impair earth if if if like
just one percent of both resources on
that order should be enough to make life
multi-planetary seems like a wise
investment for the future so what new
jobs will be created because of the ai
or has the change already stated what do
you think i think why we needed that
many jobs
sure
right my view is that the jobs
actually every technology revolution
people start to worry
right last 200 years we worry about the
new technology going to take away all
the jobs actually we made a lot of jobs
second because of the industry
revolution
job created a lot of jobs
what i think
in the next 20 30 years human being will
live much longer the life science
technology is going to make people live
probably 100 120 years
that may not be a good thing because you
get a grandfather's grandfather still
working hard
but the challenge is
my question why shouldn't we have a lot
of jobs
i think people should work three days a
week
four hours a day
at that time the jobs we need is make
people happier make people experience
the life
enjoy the human beings what knowledge or
skills will be useful to master the
future do you have any advice for young
professionals who want to pursue a
career in ai
young professionals i don't think we
will have professionals on ai in the
future
well
i worry a lot about
people worry about jobs but i worry
about education
all the education systems
the things we teach our kids the way we
teach our kids are mainly designed for
the industry period
and i'm sure the machine will be much
clever
than human beings in the future
how can human being
do better human beings should be smarter
human beings should be wiser
so how can we be human beings to be
wiser or smarter i think that we should
change the way of education change the
things because in the in the past we
focus a lot about
you know remember things
computer can remember better than you
are we want to calculate the faster
computer can can calculate much faster
we want to run faster computer can run
much faster than you are so human beings
should have confidence
by being more creative
more constructive so how can we teach
our kids to be more creative and
constructive
and i think
this is the key
of the education you know i would say
try and learn as much as much
as possible
that allows you to predict the future or
make the future so they're saying is the
best way to predict the future is to
make it
just and and then
assess whether what you're learning
is
enabling you to predict the future with
less error
are you less wrong
we're always wrong to some degree
but can you reduce the error on your
future predictions
i think that's the way to look at
education
as of course but it's both creative
create the future and predict the future
so that includes art and all those other
things
but close the loop on being less wrong
about future i think the best resources
of the human beings
on the or the best resources on the
earth are not the colds not the oil not
the electricity it's it's the human
brains
how can we make the human great brains
more creative constructive how can we
making sure that the machines are always
the toys
and tools of humans rather than the
control so i never in my life
and especially last two years when
people talk about ai say uh human human
being will be controlled by mushrooms i
never think about that i think it's it's
it's it's impossible
right it's impossible because
because human beings
they are different
machines are invented
by human beings
and according to the science right
humans
can never create another animal that is
smarter than humans
especially when you have so many smart
people it's impossible to make another
smart people i very much disagree with
that okay yeah that's good
yeah um
i mean the first thing we should assume
is that we are very dumb um and we can
we can definitely make things smarter
than ourselves i mean the
they didn't used to be humans
right so
uh then our early civilization was very
primitive
um we didn't have any technology really
we're just like running around you know
trying to not get eaten or trying to
survive a winter
now we have like heating and we grow
food this is all new stuff
so
you know things have obviously gotten
way more smarter than the past way
smarter
so that's going to continue we're not
the last step in evolution
so
the most important thing like i said the
most important mistake i see smart
people making is assuming that they're
smart it's the not technology changes
the world
it's the dreams behind the technology
that change the world so my my hope
is that anything we can do
is to improve this world
to helping 7.4 billion people live
better and live healthier trust the
human beings
and trust young people
let's take responsibility for today but
let's not take away all the solutions
for tomorrow
it's great human being make mistakes
it's great human beings learn from
mistakes
it's great to die
that's probably true thank you yeah you
cannot live long i just like yeah
thank you fight for the light of
consciousness
thank you
so
[Music]
so
[Music]
you
