Summary

The launch of ChatGPT broke records in consecutive months between December 2022 and February 2023. Over 1 billion users a month for ChatGPT, over 100,000 users and $45 million in revenue for Jasper A.I., and 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.

0:00.0	What's up, guys? I'm really excited for today's episode because I got to sit down with one of the leading experts in artificial intelligence, Joshua Benjio.
0:08.8	He's one of the people that signed the letter asking for a memoratorium to be placed on AI development.
0:15.2	And in this episode, we get all into what he's worried about, what he's excited about, where he thinks the future of AI is
0:21.6	going. And let me tell you, it is not going where any of us think. And the ability to hear it
0:26.3	directly from somebody so well versed in this area was incredibly enlightening and sobering.
0:32.5	AI is a field that is moving so quickly. And if you're not paying attention right now, you will
0:37.4	get left behind
0:38.4	or possibly even expose yourself to dangers unnecessarily. This is the kind of episode that I
0:44.2	always am excited to do because it is so relevant to what's going on right now and got me in
0:49.5	front of one of the most important thinkers on the topic. So guys, I hope that you enjoy listening to this
0:55.7	episode on AI, the future and the dangers as much as I enjoyed recording it. And if you did,
1:02.4	please pass it on, tell other people about it, subscribe to the show, like it, rate review,
1:08.7	do all the things. All right, guys, I'm Tom Bill you and welcome to impact theory.
1:13.1	I want to start with a quote from Ilius at Skever. He said for people that don't know, he's a co-founder of
1:18.8	Open AI. He said, it may be that today's large general networks are slightly conscious.
1:24.6	So I want to pose that question to you. Are computers becoming conscious right now?
1:29.7	I think it's a question that doesn't make much sense because we don't even have a clear
1:37.8	scientific understanding of what conscious means. So based on that, I would say no. There are lots of properties of our consciousness
1:49.3	that are missing. What it means to be conscious, in other words, what sort of computations
1:54.7	are going on in our brain when we become conscious of something and, you know, how that is related to notions, for example, of self or relations to others,
2:10.8	how thoughts emerge and how they're related to each other,
2:17.2	all kinds of clues we have about consciousness,
