Should We Be Scared of Artificial Intelligence? With Jonathan Gorard and Stephen Wolfram

Is AI dangerous?
What is Artificial General Intelligence?

Stephen Wolfram recently announced the Wolfram Physics project, a possible way to find the fundamental theory of physics. How does understanding our universe relate to understanding Artificial intelligence?
John Michael Godlier is joined by Stephen Wolfram and Jonathan Gorard to discuss artificial intelligence and how to understand it.

136k subs! Channel is growing quick Jon and crew. Well deserved! Give a like if you have been a fan since Jon's original channel!

If YouTube's recommendations algorithm is representative, then maybe we don't have to worry about AI getting dangerously intelligent after all.

"You have fallen into the Event Horizon"

So this is what its like inside a black hole, JMG interviewing others about the Universe, cool!

Stephen Wolfram kinda took over the session... I didn't think Jonathan Gorard would get anything in until he popped in at the end.

[yup]

The soundtrack alone makes all JMG vids a welcome escape from the daily grind. Thanks to everyone who’s a part of JMG team making this happen!

Will they "challenge" us? I suppose that depends on your definition of challenge. It certainly won't be a challenge for them

Yet another stimulating discussion by those on the forefront. My uni, in the 90s, was involved in mapping the human genome. One of my computational theory profs was working on the project and he said that you could model DNA with a Turing Machine (simple theoretical strip computer). This talk is a wonderful addition to the view that there are computations familiar to us, all around us, which fascinates me endlessly . It's like we humans are last to the party, and our trivial, in comparison, computers are just another organic tool we've discovered, like fire. Of course we prefer to think that we've re-invented the wheel, vain and superior beings that we are.

One of the best science channels on YouTube imo. Please never stop making videos even if you turn into an AI/cyborg somehow 😂

[Nebarus]

I think we should be scared about the clear lack of human intelligence...

[macaroni]

Less scared of Artificial Intelligence than Human Intelligence.

The problem with multiple guests on a short interview... Should We Be Scared of Artificial Intelligence? With Stephen Wolfram and a word or two from Jonathan Gorard.

[colixo]

Thoroughly interesting. The "irreducible complexity" concept of A.I. is a little mind blowing and quite profound.

[jojonesjojo]

I don't think Jonathan Gorard actually said anything.

[muninrob]

The most terrifying thing about AI isn't that it might be inhuman - it's that it might prove all too

[deusexaethera]

I think I can sum-up what Mr. Wolfram was trying to say about "comprehensible AI algorithms": Anyone or anything that can do a task better than you will be inherently incomprehensible to you. It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect -- you can't understand how a thing is done until you personally learn how to do the thing.

Remember reading James Martin's Meaning of the 21st Century in 2008, blew my mind how seriously he insisted the danger of run away technology was.
Such an interesting book, borrowed it twice from my local public library within a six week period. It also led me to Sir Martin Rees' Our Final Century, a jollyly written but ultimately pessimistic assessment of our current situation. He gives 50/50 odds of the global population being dramatically reduced before 2100. And the world was a much nicer place when his book came out.

I smoked a lot of weed listing to this episode and I really focused on the sound effects. I appreciate how they were faded in and out with the ebb and flow of the guest’s voice. Good job! It’s the one random thing I noticed in my weed induced experience of The Event Horizon.

Me and my brother Terry talk about Event Horizon Topics all the time and this is a great one you have loads of books that fictionalise this subject and its a pretty new story that will end up a fable in civilisations to come. Anyway thank you . I mentioned my brother Terry well he is unwell right now and has a non covid medical illness and has gone to hospital tonight so I personally am dedicating this episode of Event Horizon to my brother and listener and wish him a full recovery and thank you Again Event Horizon.

[RockHoward]

Somehow I think that was simultaneously the easiest and yet most difficult editing job ever. Wolfram's way of communicating is pretty frustrating as a listener and yet clearly brilliant. I remember that Feynman could go all over the place like that too.

Thank you for the inspirational fact and conjecture each week. Its fascinating. Because of your program recently I began observing the night time sky and identifying stars/constellations using stellarium. My new interest in astronomy has opened up a whole new perspective to my mind.
