Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. Today's episode is a roundtable discussion about AI safety with Eliezer Yudkowski, Gary Marcus, and

Scott Aronson. Eliezer Yudkowski is a prominent AI researcher and writer, known for co-founding

the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, where he spearheaded research on AI safety. He's also

widely recognized for his influential writings on the topic of rationality.

Scott Aronson is a theoretical computer scientist and author celebrated for his pioneering work

in the field of quantum computation. He's also the chair of Compsi at U.FT. Austin, but is

currently taking a leave of absence to work at OpenAI. Gary Marcus is a cognitive scientist, author,

and entrepreneur known for his work at the intersection of psychology, linguistics, and AI.

He's also authored several books, including Kluge and Rebooting AI, Building AI We Can Trust.

This episode is all about AI safety. We talk about the alignment problem. We talk

about the possibility of human extinction due to AI. We talk about what intelligence actually is.

We talk about the notion of a singularity or an AI takeoff event, and much more. It was really

great to get these three guys in the same virtual room. And I think you'll find that this conversation brings something a bit fresh to a topic that has admittedly been beaten to death on certain corners of the internet.

So without further ado, Eliezer Udkowski, Gary Marcus, and Scott Aronson.

Okay, Eliezer Yudkowski, Scott Aronson, Gary Marcus, thanks so much for coming on my show.
