What Should Happen To Humans In A World Of AGI?

Jose Hernandez-Orallo (CFI), Danny Hernandez (OpenAI), De Kai (ICSI), Francesca Rossi (IBM) and moderator Carla Gomes (Cornell) discuss what should happen to humans in a world of AGI.

After our Puerto Rico AI conference in 2015 and our Asilomar Beneficial AI conference in 2017, we returned to Puerto Rico at the start of 2019 to talk about Beneficial AGI. We couldn’t be more excited to see all of the groups, organizations, conferences and workshops that have cropped up in the last few years to ensure that AI today and in the near future will be safe and beneficial. And so we now wanted to look further ahead to artificial general intelligence (AGI), the classic goal of AI research, which promises tremendous transformation in society. Beyond mitigating risks, we want to explore how we can design AGI to help us create the best future for humanity.

We again brought together an amazing group of AI researchers from academia and industry, as well as thought leaders in economics, law, policy, ethics, and philosophy for five days dedicated to beneficial AI. We hosted a two-day technical workshop to look more deeply at how we can create beneficial AGI, and we followed that with a 2.5-day conference, in which people from a broader AI background considered the opportunities and challenges related to the future of AGI and steps we can take today to move toward an even better future.

The reason why I like this video: The panelist spoke in a way, whereby a member of the general audience like myself could wrap my mind around what was being said.

That was fun, but it could have been longer. Each person basically summarized their position..., then it ended.. What a tease! :P

Thanks for the upload. Always interesting guests and thought provoking topics. You're much appreciated!

1:07 Suggest to include some examples. The kinds of values.

I'd love to hear the two guys on the left continue the discussion. They were confident, well spoken, and went deep.

Understand human preferences doesn't mean to follow them.

Ok but how's that going to happen if, by the nature of brain uploading, that person would technically be your clone, not you? It's why things like getting an artificial brain is something you do when you're about to die. Because the person with the new brain is not you.
