On Today's Episode:

The launch of ChatGPT broke records in consecutive months between December 2022 and February 2023. With over 1 billion visits a month for ChatGPT, over 100,000 users and $45 million in revenue for Jasper A.I., the race to adopting A.I. at scale has begun.

Does the global adoption of artificial intelligence have you concerned or apprehensive about what’s to come?

On one hand it’s easy to get caught up in the possibilities of co-existing with A.I. living the enhanced upgraded human experience. We already have tech and A.I. integrated into so many of our daily habits and routines: Apple watches, ora rings, social media algorithms, chat bots, and on and on.

Yoshua Bengio has dedicated more than 30 years of his computer science career to deep learning. He’s an award winning computer scientist known for his breakthroughs in artificial neural networks. Why after 3 decades contributing to the advancement of A.I. systems is Yoshua now calling to slow down the development of powerful A.I. systems?

This conversation is about being open-minded and aware of the dangers of AI we all need to consider from the perspective of one of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence.

Conscious computers, A.I. trolls, and the evolution of machines and what it means to be a neural network are just a few of the things you’ll find interesting in this conversation.

QUOTES:

“We need to be maybe much more careful and provide much more of guidance and guardrails in regulation, to minimize potential harm that could come out of more and more powerful systems.”

“I would say misinformation, disinformation is the greatest large-scale danger.”

“With AI becoming more powerful, I think it's time to really accelerate that process of regulating to protect the public, and society.”

This episode also contains a relevant conversation with Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying about the changes humans must make in society in order to avoid a total collapse

Some people are more motivated by bad news while others are paralyzed in fear. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are two Evolutionary Biologists that give you the facts, discoveries and observations as they see it. Tom reads a direct quote from their latest book that says, “We are headed for collapse. Civilization is becoming incoherent around us.” Bret and Heather break down fundamental ideas behind what humans have learned from evolution for thousands of years, how corrupt the science community has become, and how to parent your children with the goal of mitigating risks while they are younger. These biologists are incredibly fascinating with novel ideas of what adaptation would look like for humans if we are careful and intentional.
