- 00:00:06TO BE HERE TO TALK ABOUT AI THE FUTURE OF IT WHERE WE ARE,
- 00:00:11THE CHALLENGES OF ITS SAFETY AND SO MUCH MORE. AND WE'RE
- 00:00:17HERE WITH DEMONSTRABLY ONE OF THE OJI'S OF THE AI WORLD WILL
- 00:00:21STOP SELLING AND IS THE CEO NOW OF MICROSOFT AI HE SPENT WITH A
- 00:00:26DECADE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS INDUSTRY BEFORE WE EVEN HAD
- 00:00:29GOTTEN TO FEEL IT IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. NOW HE
- 00:00:34CO-FOUNDED AT DEEPMIND BACK IN 2010. THAT WAS LATER ACQUIRED
- 00:00:37BY GOOGLE IN 2022, HE CO-FOUNDED A COMPANY CALLED
- 00:00:44INFLECTION. HE DID THAT WITH REID HOFFMAN AND THEN RECENTLY
- 00:00:49MOVE THAT COMPANY INSIDE OF MICROSOFT AND IS NOW THE HEAD
- 00:00:53OF MICROSOFT'S AI EFFORTS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
- 00:00:55HERE. AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE,
- 00:00:58HIS PERSONAL STORY, IF I COULD, JUST FOR A SECOND, HIS DAD WAS
- 00:01:03A TAXI DRIVER. HIS MOTHER WAS A NURSE. AND TO SEE HIM NOW IS
- 00:01:06QUITE A THING. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. REALLY IS SOMETHING
- 00:01:10VERY, VERY SPECIAL. THANK YOU. THANKS A LOT.
- 00:01:14I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY AND
- 00:01:17EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN WHERE WE'RE GOING. BUT LET'S JUST
- 00:01:22START VERY BASICALLY IF IF I WAS A BASEBALL GAME,
- 00:01:26WHAT INNING ARE WE IN? WHERE ARE WE IN THIS? BECAUSE I THINK
- 00:01:30SO MANY OF US HAVE PLAYED WITH CHAT, GPT AND OTHER KINDS OF AI
- 00:01:33PRODUCTS. WE ALL THINK WE KNOW WHAT IT IS A LITTLE BIT.
- 00:01:37WE ALL KEEP TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE OF OUR LIFE IS GOING
- 00:01:39TO BE WITH AI.
- 00:01:43IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL JUST TO SORT OF LEVEL SET FOR US WHERE
- 00:01:44WE REALLY ARE.
- 00:01:47>> BECAUSE I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS THAT AS HUMANS WE
- 00:01:52RIDDLED WITH BIASES OF ALL KINDS. SO WE LOOK BACK AND IT
- 00:01:56FEELS INCREMENTAL. BUT IN THE MOMENT, IT REALLY IS FAR MORE
- 00:02:00EXPONENTIAL THAN PEOPLE REALIZE. I MEAN, IT 2 YEARS
- 00:02:05AGO, NOBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT AGENTS, YOU KNOW, AI SYSTEMS
- 00:02:08THAT CAN TAKE ACTIONS A NEW WORLD TODAY. EVERYBODY IS
- 00:02:11EXCITED THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, AGENTS GOING
- 00:02:14TO BE EVERY WAY DOING THINGS ON OUR BEHALF, ORGANIZING OUR
- 00:02:18LIVES, PRIORITIZING AND PLANNING 4 YEARS AGO. NOBODY
- 00:02:21WAS REALLY TALKING ABOUT LANGUAGE MODELS. TODAY.
- 00:02:24EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT LANGUAGE MODELS. SO IT'S JUST A
- 00:02:28VERY SURREAL EXPERIENCE TO BE INVENTING TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH
- 00:02:32AT ONE MOMENT FEEL IMPOSSIBLE. AND THEN JUST A FEW YEARS LATER
- 00:02:36AND NOW, YOU KNOW, COMING TO PASS, IF YOU JUST THINK ABOUT
- 00:02:36IT,
- 00:02:40IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO ASK ANY ONE OF THESE CHATBOTS ANY
- 00:02:42QUESTION THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE AND GET IN ON.
- 00:02:46SO THAT IS PRETTY MUCH AS GOOD AS ANYONE OF US COULD. AUNTS
- 00:02:49ARE IN THIS ROOM ON AVERAGE. AND IT'S EASY TO TAKE THAT FOR
- 00:02:53GRANTED. BUT THAT IS LIKE YEARS AND YEARS OF VERY SLOWLY AND
- 00:02:58STEADILY ADDING CAPABILITY FOR SUCH A EXPERIMENT ING TESTING
- 00:03:02THINGS OUT. AND THEN IN SOME IT REALLY, I THINK CREATES QUITE A
- 00:03:05MAGICAL EXPERIENCE. IF I WERE TO LOOK OUT OVER THE NEXT 10
- 00:03:09YEARS, IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE RIGHT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF
- 00:03:10THIS MOMENT.
- 00:03:14>> WE'VE ALL PLAYED WITH WITH WITH CHAT GPT BUT OTHERS TALK
- 00:03:19ABOUT G I THIS THIS SORT OF A WORLD WHERE ARTIFICIAL,
- 00:03:21GENERALIZED, INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENCE CAN EFFECTIVELY DO
- 00:03:24EVERYTHING, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. THAT IS SORT OF THE
- 00:03:28THING THAT IS BOTH THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND ALSO THE THING
- 00:03:31THAT I THINK PEOPLE FEAR IN MANY WAYS
- 00:03:33HE'S AT ON YOUR DECADE LONG ROAD MAP.
- 00:03:38>> I JUST NOT QUITE SURE THAT'S A SORT OF HELPFUL FRAMING AND
- 00:03:43WE'VE GOT TO GET FIXATED ON SUPER INTELLIGENCE THIS MOMENT
- 00:03:47WHEN AN AI CAN DO EVERY SINGLE TOSS THAT A HUMAN CAN DO BETTER
- 00:03:48THAN HUMANS. AND
- 00:03:52IF YOU REALLY PUSH ME, I HAVE TO SAY, THEORETICALLY, IT IS
- 00:03:56POSSIBLE AND WE SHOULD TAKE THE SAFETY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
- 00:04:00THAT SUPER SERIOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR THE SAFETY
- 00:04:02AND ETHICS OF H I
- 00:04:05ALMOST 15 YEARS. AND SO I I REALLY DO CARE ABOUT IT A LOT.
- 00:04:10BUT PEOPLE TEND TO LUNGE AT IT AS THOUGH IT IS A INEVITABLE BE
- 00:04:13DESIRABLE AND SEE COMING TOMORROW. I JUST THINK NEITHER
- 00:04:18OF THOSE THINGS, THE TRUE, IT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED TECHNOLOGY.
- 00:04:21AND AS A SPECIES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A NEW
- 00:04:24KIND OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE MECHANISMS. SO THAT TECHNOLOGY
- 00:04:27CONTINUES TO ALWAYS SOUTH AUSTIN, MAKE A SMALL, HEALTHY
- 00:04:30AND HAPPY OR MAKE US MORE EFFICIENT IN ADD VALUE IN THE
- 00:04:33WELL, BECAUSE THERE IS A RISK THAT THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE
- 00:04:38DEVELOP THIS CENTURY DO END UP CAUSING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
- 00:04:42AND THAT IS JUST THE KIND OF CUTS OF PROGRESS. WE HAVE TO
- 00:04:45FACE THAT REALITY, RIGHT? THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE GOING TO
- 00:04:49SPREAD FAR AND WIDE. EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HAVE TO CAPACITY TO
- 00:04:53INFLUENCE PEOPLE AT SCALES PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED TO BE
- 00:04:55COMPLETELY UNIMAGINABLE. AND SO THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE
- 00:04:58GOING TO BE A QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT TO ASK YOU A
- 00:04:58QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
- 00:05:01>> WHICH IS THAT LEADERS IN THIS INDUSTRY, INCLUDING
- 00:05:03YOURSELF AND SAM MOMENT IS SO MANY OTHERS HAVE GONE TO
- 00:05:05CAPITOL HILL AND ELSEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD. HE SAID,
- 00:05:09PLEASE, WE MAY NEED NOT. WE MAY WE NEED REGULATION THAT
- 00:05:12THERE ARE LOTS OF PROBLEMS POTENTIALLY WITH THIS
- 00:05:15TECHNOLOGY. IT'S A UNIQUE IN THAT VERY FEW VERY FEW
- 00:05:18INDUSTRIES TO THE CEOS GO TO THE REGULATORS SAY, PLEASE
- 00:05:21REGULATE ME. IS THAT A SINCERE EFFORT
- 00:05:26OR IS THAT A PROTECTIVE EFFORT TO SAY, LOOK, WE TOLD YOU THERE
- 00:05:29COULD BE PROBLEMS. WE KNEW YOU WERE NEVER GOING TO REGULATE US
- 00:05:31ANYWAY, SEE SOCIAL MEDIA.
- 00:05:33AND HERE WE ARE NOW.
- 00:05:36>> YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I I THINK THAT THIS IS ALSO A FALSE
- 00:05:40FRAME. YOU KNOW, IS IT UP, YOU KNOW, A SINCERE EFFORT OR IS IT
- 00:05:41ACTUALLY ABOUT REGULATORY CAPTURE?
- 00:05:44>> BECAUSE THEY GET UP. THERE WAS ACTUAL REGULATION. I I HAVE
- 00:05:47A FUNNY FEELING. WE WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION ABOUT
- 00:05:49WHICH PIECES ARE REGULATED, HOW IT'S REGULATED. THERE BE A LOT
- 00:05:52OF PUSHBACK ON THE SENATE MADE. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M A SORT
- 00:05:56OF, YOU KNOW, BRIDGE WITH EUROPEAN TENDENCIES. BUT I
- 00:05:57DON'T FEAR REGULATION.
- 00:05:59>> IN THE WAY THAT SORT OF EVERYONE SEEMS TO BY DEFAULT
- 00:06:03THINK THE REGULATION IS EVIL HERE. I THINK THERE IS NO
- 00:06:06TECHNOLOGY IN HISTORY THAT HASN'T BEEN SUCCESSFULLY
- 00:06:09REGULATED ALL ABOUT JUST LOOK AT THE CAR AND WE'VE BEEN
- 00:06:13REGULATING CAUSE SINCE THE 20'S AND HAS CONSISTENTLY STEADILY
- 00:06:16MADE CARS BETTER. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE CAR ITSELF. IT'S THE
- 00:06:19STREETLIGHTS. IT'S THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT'S THE ZEBRA
- 00:06:22CROSSINGS. IT'S THE CULTURE OF SAFETY AROUND DEVELOPING A
- 00:06:26CAUGHT DRIVING A CALL BE. SO THIS IS JUST A HEALTHY
- 00:06:29DIALOGUE THAT WE JUST NEED TO ENCOURAGE AND STOP FRAMING AS A
- 00:06:33KIND OF BLACK AND WHITE. IT'S I THE EVIL REGULATION OR
- 00:06:36IT CYNICALLY MINDED TO DRIVE REGULAR TREE CAPTURE. I THINK
- 00:06:39IT'S A GREAT THING. THE TECHNOLOGISTS AND ENTREPRENEURS
- 00:06:42AND CEOS OF COMPANIES LIKE MYSELF AND SAM, WHO I LOVE
- 00:06:46DEARLY AND THINK IS ALSO HE'S NOT CYNICAL. HE IS SINCERE.
- 00:06:49HE BELIEVES IT GENUINELY SO TO THE REST OF THEM. AND I THINK
- 00:06:51THAT'S JUST GREAT. WE SHOULD EMBRACE THAT. AND OF COURSE,
- 00:06:54THAT WILL BE DOWNSIDES TO IT, RIGHT? SO I'M NOT DENYING THAT,
- 00:06:58YOU KNOW, PULL REGULATION CAN SLOW US DOWN, MAKE US LESS
- 00:07:01COMPETITIVE, CREATE CHALLENGES WITH OUR INTERNATIONAL AVERAGE
- 00:07:04TREES. YOU KNOW IT. AND IT CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T SLOW DOWN
- 00:07:06THE OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY, ALL THE STOPS.
- 00:07:09>> LET ME ASK A MORE COMPLICATED QUESTION. MICROSOFT
- 00:07:10HAS A DEEP,
- 00:07:12DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH OPEN AI.
- 00:07:17THAT IS HOW MICROSOFT, AT LEAST FOR RIGHT NOW IS PURSUING IT AI
- 00:07:19AMBITIONS. I KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER EFFORTS UNDERNEATH AND
- 00:07:22WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A MINUTE. BUT YOU REFERENCE AM
- 00:07:25ALTMAN WHO'S GOING TO BE HERE AND SPEAKING TOMORROW. THERE'VE
- 00:07:27BEEN A LOT OF HEADLINES AND I WANT YOU TO HELP US MAKE SOME
- 00:07:31SENSE OF THEM WHERE WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE INSIDE
- 00:07:36OPENAI WHO WORKED ON THEIR SAFETY TEAMS AT OPENAI NOT JUST
- 00:07:41LEAVE THE COMPANY BUT OPENLY OBJECT TO THE
- 00:07:43APPROACH THAT THE COMPANY HAS TAKEN. I'M GOING TO READ YOU A
- 00:07:46QUOTE FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE SAFE TEAMS LEFT. YOU SAID
- 00:07:50THESE PROBLEMS ARE QUITE HARD TO GET RIGHT AND I AM CONCERNED
- 00:07:53WE AREN'T ON A TRAJECTORY TO GET THEM RIGHT. IT IS VERY
- 00:07:57UNUSUAL TO SEE EMPLOYEES LEAVE AND SPEAK OUT THE WAY THEY HAVE
- 00:08:01ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE OPEN AT WHAT DO YOU THINK IS
- 00:08:01HAPPENING?
- 00:08:04>> I'M PROUD THAT WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY AND WE OPERATE IN A
- 00:08:08TECH ECOSYSTEM WHERE THAT CAN BE WHISTLE BLOWS AND THOSE
- 00:08:11WHISTLE BLOWS ARE ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED. AND IF THOSE
- 00:08:14PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE MOMENT WHERE THEY NEED TO MAKE
- 00:08:17THAT STATEMENT, I CELEBRATE AND SUPPORT THAT. I PERSONALLY HAVE
- 00:08:20ENORMOUS RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING THE OPENAI HAS ACHIEVED.
- 00:08:23I THINK THEY CAN GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE DEFINING TECHNOLOGY
- 00:08:27COMPANIES IN HISTORY. AND I GENUINELY THINK THAT THEY'RE
- 00:08:30GRAPPLING IN A SINCERE WAY WITH THE CHALLENGE OF PUSHING
- 00:08:33FORWARD WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IS POSSIBLE POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO
- 00:08:35PUTTING SAFETY ON THE TABLE FRONT AND CENTER. I MEAN,
- 00:08:39THEY'VE BEEN LEADING THE SAFETY RESEARCH AGENDA. LET'S JUST BE
- 00:08:42CLEAR ABOUT THAT. PUBLISHING PAPERS COMMITTING TO ACADEMIC
- 00:08:45ARCHIVES ATTENDING THE CONFERENCE IS RAISING AWARENESS
- 00:08:49OF THESE ISSUES, OPEN SOURCING, SAFETY, TOOLING AND AND
- 00:08:51INFRASTRUCTURE TICKETS. NOW INSIDE THE ROOM, THOUGH,
- 00:08:54WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS DEBATE TO THE EXTENT WORSE AND
- 00:08:55WE'RE SEEING IT PLAY OUT.
- 00:08:58>> WHAT IS THE DEBATE OVER? IS IT ABOUT RESOURCES? HOW MUCH
- 00:09:01MONEY IS BEING DEVOTED TOWARDS THE SAFETY ISSUE? IT'S ABOUT
- 00:09:06THE PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY ABOUT HOW HOW QUICKLY TO MOVE
- 00:09:07FORWARD
- 00:09:10AND WHERE DOES MICROSOFT SIT IN THAT DISCUSSION?
- 00:09:15>> BUT I THINK SMART PEOPLE CAN SINCERELY DISAGREE ABOUT THE
- 00:09:19SAME OBSERVATIONS. SO SOME INDIVIDUALS LOOK AT THE
- 00:09:23EXPONENTIAL TRAJECTORY THAT WE'RE ON AND THEY WILL ARGUE
- 00:09:29THAT FOR THE LAST 60 IS WE HAVE SEEN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE MORE
- 00:09:34COMPUTE AND MORE DATA APPLIED TO THE SAME METHOD. SO 10 TIMES
- 00:09:38MORE COMPUTER THAN 10 TIMES MORE DATA APPLIED EVERY SINGLE
- 00:09:42YEAR. IN FACT, FOR THE LAST DECADE AND EACH TIME YOU ADD 10
- 00:09:46X MALL, YOU DO LIVE A VERY MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN
- 00:09:50CAPABILITIES. THE MODELS PRODUCE FEW LOOSE, THE NATION'S
- 00:09:52THEY CAN ABSORB MORE INFORMATION, MORE FACTION
- 00:09:56INFORMATION. THEY CAN INTEGRATE REAL-TIME INFORMATION AND
- 00:10:00THEY'RE MORE OPEN TO STYLISTIC CONTROL. SO YOU CAN TUNE THAT
- 00:10:03BEHAVIOR, BOTH FROM A PRODUCT PERSPECTIVE AND FROM UP.
- 00:10:06SO TO THE PERSONALITY OF THE MOBILE AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
- 00:10:10MOST SCAD ABOUT THIS ARGUE THAT THEY CAN SEE A PASS OVER THE
- 00:10:15NEXT 3, 0, 4, 0, 5, ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. CALL IT 5 IS A E IS
- 00:10:19WET THAT CAPABILITY. SHE ACTUALLY DOESN'T SLOW DOWN.
- 00:10:22ACTUALLY, IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER. THE
- 00:10:24COUNTER ARGUMENT TO THAT IS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY RUNNING OUT
- 00:10:27OF DATA. WE NEED TO FIND NEW SOURCES OF INFORMATION TO LEARN
- 00:10:30FROM. AND WE DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP GETTING
- 00:10:32BETTER. THAT COULD ASK THEM TO WRITE. WE'VE SEEN THAT MANY
- 00:10:35TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY. SO I THINK IT'S A
- 00:10:38HEALTHY DEBATE TO HAVE. YOU MENTIONED THE WORD WHOSE NATION
- 00:10:39AND ANYONE WHO'S PLAYED.
- 00:10:42>> WITH ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS IS PROBABLY EXPERIENCED A
- 00:10:48MOMENT WHERE IT APPEARS THAT THE BOT HAS LOOSEN AID. ONE OF
- 00:10:50THINGS WE HEAR FROM PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRIES, THEY SAY,
- 00:10:53YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN WHY WE'VE SEEN IT AND
- 00:10:59WE CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE THE BOX,
- 00:11:00CAN YOU?
- 00:11:06>> I THINK I SAW COM IN A WAY THAT WOULD SATISFY YOU. BUT I
- 00:11:09ALSO KHAN EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHOSE TO WEAR A BLUE SHOT THIS
- 00:11:13MORNING. I CAN EXPLAIN VERY LITTLE ABOUT TO YOU OR I OFF
- 00:11:18THE REQUIREMENT FOR EXPLANATION IS I THINK, AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT
- 00:11:21OF A HUMAN BIAS. WHEN IOS YOU TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU HAD
- 00:11:25SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING, YOU WILL CREATE A
- 00:11:26FULLY IMAGINE
- 00:11:29AN EXPLANATION IN HINDSIGHT AND DEPENDING ON YOUR MOOD AND THE
- 00:11:33CONTEXT THAT YOU'RE IN AND THE OTHER LIKE ASSOCIATED METHOD,
- 00:11:36A TOUR OF THE EXPLANATION, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SAY IT
- 00:11:38SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY. AND IT'S STILL CLEAR THAT IT WAS
- 00:11:42ENTIRELY KOZEL. THERE IS SOME BASIS IN REALITY FOR IT.
- 00:11:46BUT THIS ONE TO ONE MAPPING IS A VERY HIGH FOR RATIONAL
- 00:11:49IMPOSITION ON THE WAY THAT WE THINK IS HUMANS. IN FACT,
- 00:11:53WE JUST DON'T REALLY OPERATE LIKE THAT. WE OPERATE, I THINK,
- 00:11:54FAR MORE BY ASSOCIATION.
- 00:11:57>> SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT THAT? BUT I MEAN, SHOULD WE WORRY THE
- 00:12:00WEEK ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND OURSELVES TO ANOTHER, TO NOT
- 00:12:03UNDERSTAND HOW THE COMPUTER GETS. YOU KNOW, THE MOST PEOPLE
- 00:12:06THINK THAT ALL OF THIS IS JUST A BIG MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM,
- 00:12:10RIGHT TO PUSH TO SHOULD ALWAYS EQUAL 4. IT'S NOT A BELIEF OR
- 00:12:14WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT WAS JUST CUTE OR RATHER SO THAT
- 00:12:15THAT'S JUST NOT HOW.
- 00:12:18>> SO HUMAN REASONING AND CULTURE ACTUALLY WORKS. IN MY
- 00:12:23OPINION, WE HUMAN REASONING WORKS AS A RESULT OF BEHAVIORAL
- 00:12:23OBSERVATIONS.
- 00:12:28WHEN YOU CONSISTENTLY DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
- 00:12:33I GAIN TRUST. YOU BECOME MORE RELIABLE WHEN USED TO TELL ME
- 00:12:37THAT YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT SOMETHING AND THEN I LOOK BACK
- 00:12:40AND IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU WILL SUCCINT HE WAS A CORRECT
- 00:12:43ASSESSMENT OF THE OUTCOME. THAT UNCERTAINTY GIVES ME
- 00:12:47REASSURANCE, RIGHT? SO I LOVE THAN TO TRUST YOU AND INTERACT
- 00:12:49WITH YOU BY OBSERVATION. AND I THINK THAT THAT'S
- 00:12:51ACTUALLY HOW WE WILL OPERATE IN RELATION TO OUR MOTHERS,
- 00:12:54HOW WE PRODUCE CULTURE AND SOCIETY. AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL
- 00:12:57TREAT THESE MODELS. IT'S, YOU KNOW, THIS. THERE WAS A THERE
- 00:13:01WAS AN EXPOSE COMPETITION OF RADIOLOGISTS 3 MONTHS AGO,
- 00:13:05PANELS OF RADIOLOGISTS IN THIS LIVE ENVIRONMENT, 10'S OF THE
- 00:13:08VERY BEST CONSULTANTS GOING HEAD TO HEAD AGAINST THE
- 00:13:10MACHINE. AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S LOTS OF SKEPTICISM. WHY IS THE
- 00:13:14MACHINE PRODUCING THIS CORRECT CANCER DIAGNOSIS? WHY IS IT
- 00:13:17PRODUCING THIS CORRECT EYE EXAMINATION AND IDENTIFYING
- 00:13:20THAT THIS IS WELCOME? WELL, YOU KNOW, WE CAN SORT OF ALLUDE TO
- 00:13:23SOME OF THE TRAINING DATA THAT IS USED TO TRAIN ON IT. BUT THE
- 00:13:27FACT IS IT'S DOING IT MORE ACCURATELY MORE RELIABLY DOWN
- 00:13:29THE HUMAN. I THINK THAT THAT IMPAIR A COOL OBSERVATION OF
- 00:13:32THE FACTS IS WHAT WE SHOULD RELY ON TO BE ABLE TO TRUST THE
- 00:13:35SYSTEMS. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAID JUST BEFORE THAT
- 00:13:40>> WAS THE IDEA THAT THE AI MACHINES, THE TRAINING THAT
- 00:13:44THAT IDA'S IS RUNNING OUT OF DATA TO CONSUME.
- 00:13:46AND WE'LL HAVE A CONVERSATION. I THINK IN A MOMENT WITH US,
- 00:13:49I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE IDEA OF SYNTHETIC DATA THAT IS
- 00:13:50ACTUALLY
- 00:13:53DIGITAL DATA. STILL MOST REPRODUCED OFF OF DATA THAT
- 00:13:57THAT DOESN'T EXIST. BUT I WANT TO ACTUALLY ABOUT ASK ABOUT THE
- 00:14:00DATA THAT DOES EXIST. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OFFICERS HERE AT
- 00:14:03THE ASPEN IDEAS FESTIVAL AND A NUMBER OF JOURNALISTS AS WELL.
- 00:14:07AND IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN
- 00:14:12TRAINED ON OVER THE YEARS HAS COME FROM THE WEB AND THE
- 00:14:14QUESTION AND AND SOME OF ITS THE OPEN WEB AND SUMS NOT.
- 00:14:19AND WE'VE HEARD STORIES ABOUT HOW OPEN OPEN AI WAS TURNING A
- 00:14:22YOUTUBE VIDEOS INTO TRANSCRIPTS AND THEN TRAINING ON THE
- 00:14:28TRANSCRIPTS AND WHO IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY IP WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO
- 00:14:32GET VALUE FROM THAT. I P AND WHETHER TO PUT IT IN A VERY
- 00:14:36BLUNT TERMS WHETHER THE AI COMPANIES HAVE EFFECTIVELY
- 00:14:38STOLEN THE WORLD'S I P.
- 00:14:40>> YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A VERY FAIR ARGUMENT. I THINK THAT
- 00:14:44WITH RESPECT TO CONTENT THAT IS ALREADY ON THE OPEN WEB,
- 00:14:47THE SOCIAL CONTRACT OF THAT CONTENT SINCE THE 90'S HAS BEEN
- 00:14:51IT IS FAY USE. ANYONE CAN COPY IT, RECREATE WITH IT REPRODUCED
- 00:14:55WITH IT. THAT HAS BEEN FREEWAY. IF YOU LIKE, THAT'S BEEN THE
- 00:14:58UNDERSTANDING THERE'S A SEPARATE CATEGORY WHERE A
- 00:15:01WEBSITE OR PUBLISH OR NEWS ORGANIZATION HAD EXPLICITLY
- 00:15:05SAID DO NOT SCRAPE WILL CREW ME FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN
- 00:15:08INDEXING ME SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN FIND THAT CONTENT.
- 00:15:10BUT THAT'S THE GRAY AREA. AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO
- 00:15:12WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURTS.
- 00:15:14AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHEN YOU SAY IT'S A GRAY AREA?
- 00:15:17WELL, IF IF HAS SO FAR, SOME PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THAT
- 00:15:20INFORMATION. I DON'T KNOW WHO WON, WHO HASN'T, BUT THAT'S
- 00:15:23GOOD TO GET LITIGATED AND THE U.S. RIGHT. DO YOU THINK THAT
- 00:15:26THE IP LAWS SHOULD BE DIFFERENT, RIGHT? I COULD GO AS
- 00:15:30AN OFFER. I CAN GO WRITE A BOOK IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING MY
- 00:15:33BOOK. I COULD GO TO THE THE LIBRARY WHERE BY ALL.
- 00:15:36>> 40 OTHER BOOKS ON AMAZON. I COULD READ THOSE BOOKS,
- 00:15:40PUT THEM IN MY BIOGRAPHY AND HOPEFULLY PRODUCE A BOOK AND I
- 00:15:42WOULD THE AUTHORS OF THOSE 40 BOOKS, NOTHING MORE THAN
- 00:15:46WHATEVER IT COST ME TO BUY THOSE PRICE THE AND MAYBE THE
- 00:15:50LIBRARY BOTTOM WANTS AS WELL. NOBODY EVER IMAGINED THAT I WAS
- 00:15:54GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A MILLION BOOKS EVERY 10 SECONDS,
- 00:15:58RIGHT. AND WHAT THE ECONOMICS OF THAT SHOULD BE RIGHT.
- 00:16:00>> YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THE ECONOMICS OF INFORMATION ARE
- 00:16:05ABOUT TO RADICALLY CHANGE BECAUSE WE CAN REDUCE THE COST
- 00:16:09OF PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE TO 0 MARGINAL COST.
- 00:16:11AND THIS IS THIS IS JUST OF A VERY
- 00:16:15DIFFICULT THING FOR PEOPLE TO ENSURE IT. BUT IN 15 OR 20
- 00:16:18YEARS TIME, WE WILL BE PRODUCING NEW SCIENTIFIC
- 00:16:22CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AT ALMOST 0 MARGINAL COST. IT WILL BE
- 00:16:26WIDELY OPEN SOURCE AND AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY. AND I
- 00:16:29THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, A TRUE INFLECTION POINT
- 00:16:32IN HISTORY OF A SPECIES, BECAUSE WHAT ALL WE
- 00:16:36COLLECTIVELY AS AN ORGANISM OF HUMANS, OTHER THAN A KNOWLEDGE
- 00:16:40AND INTELLECTUAL PRODUCTION ENGINE, WE PRODUCE KNOWLEDGE,
- 00:16:43OUR SCIENCE MAKES US BETTER. AND SO WHAT WE REALLY WANT IN
- 00:16:46THE WORLD, IN MY OPINION, ON NEW ENGINES THAT CAN
- 00:16:47TURBOCHARGE DISCOVERY AND INVENTION.
- 00:16:49>> OKAY. NOW LET'S GET THE TOPICAL GOING TO GET YOU ON THE
- 00:16:52COUCH. YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I
- 00:16:55THINK YOU ACTUALLY JUST RAISE THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION,
- 00:17:00WHICH IS WHO ARE WE AND WHAT ARE WE AND WHAT ARE WE IF IF
- 00:17:05THIS IS 6 TO IS AS SUCCESSFUL AS I THINK YOU WANT IT TO BE,
- 00:17:08WHAT IS OUR VALUE? I HAVE CHILDREN WHO ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL
- 00:17:10RIGHT NOW, A JUNIOR HIGH RIGHT NOW, LOU, IT AND WE'RE TRYING
- 00:17:13TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO STUDY, HOW I THINK
- 00:17:15IT'S BEST TO THINK ABOUT WRITING PAPERS. ARE THEY EVER
- 00:17:18GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE A PAPER?
- 00:17:20SPEAK TO THAT?
- 00:17:28>> LOOK, I THINK WHEN PEOPLE SEE WHAT SHOULD MY KIDS STUDY,
- 00:17:32I I SAY SPEND MORE TIME DIGITALLY LEARNING FROM
- 00:17:35EVERYBODY ELSE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE
- 00:17:39TRADITIONAL METHOD OF TEXTBOOK BASED LEARNING IS STILL GOING
- 00:17:42TO BE VALUABLE. AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE REALLY
- 00:17:46IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN DEEPLY PAY ATTENTION AND, YOU KNOW,
- 00:17:50READ FOR 2 HOURS AND THEN WRITE AN ESSAY FOR 2 HOURS, OF
- 00:17:51COURSE, AS VALUABLE.
- 00:17:55I THINK THE GENERALIST WHO CAN SPEAK MULTIPLE SOCIAL LANGUAGE
- 00:17:59IS WHO CAN ADAPT VERY QUICKLY. THAT AGILITY IS GOING TO BE ONE
- 00:18:03OF THE MOST VALUABLE SKILLS AND OPEN MINDEDNESS AND NOT BEING
- 00:18:06JUDGMENTAL, FEARFUL OF WHAT'S COMING IN. EMBRACING THE
- 00:18:09TECHNOLOGY. BY THE WAY, YOUR KIDS NOT NOT YET. NOT YET.
- 00:18:13OKAY. HERE'S MY QUESTION FOR YOU FOR THE PARENTS IN THE
- 00:18:13ROOM.
- 00:18:15>> AND BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING WE SHOULD EMBRACE THE STUFF.
- 00:18:19ONE OF THESE THAT I WORRY ABOUT IS AND I WONDER WHETHER YOU
- 00:18:21THINK THERE SHOULD BE POLICIES WHETHER THE MICROSOFT
- 00:18:24IMPLEMENTED MORE APPLE AAPL, BY THE WAY, JUST PUT APPLE
- 00:18:28INTELLIGENCE INTO THERE PHONES, NEW PHONES ON ON ON TO THE POOR
- 00:18:31PAGES. YOU CAN YOU WRITE THE PAPER FOR YOU AND THESE KIDS
- 00:18:33ARE GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WRITE
- 00:18:35THE PAPER. THEY REALLY GOING RIGHT? THE PAPER OR THEY'RE NOT
- 00:18:39GOING RIGHT. THE PAPER, WHAT KINDS OF TOOLS OR RESTRICTIONS
- 00:18:42OR OTHER THINGS YOU THINK SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE IT FOR
- 00:18:46STUDENTS WHEN ALONE ADULTS? YEAH, LOOK, I THINK WE HAVE TO
- 00:18:48BE SLIGHTLY CAREFUL ABOUT.
- 00:18:51>> FEARING THE DOWNSIDE OF EVERY TOOL, YOU KNOW, JUST AS
- 00:18:54WHEN CALCULATORS CAME IN, THERE WAS A KIND OF THIS GOT REACTION
- 00:18:57ON EVERYONE'S GOING TO HAVE TO SORT OF SOULFUL THE EQUATIONS
- 00:18:59INSTANTLY. AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE US DAMA BECAUSE WE'RE
- 00:19:03ABOUT TO DO MENTAL ARITHMETIC. PARTLY THAT'S TRUE. YOU KNOW,
- 00:19:06I'VE GOT WORSE AT REMEMBERING TELEPHONE NUMBERS SINCE I'VE
- 00:19:09HAD MY PHONE RIGHT WHEN I WAS YOUNG. I I I REMEMBERED
- 00:19:13PROBABLY 40 OR 50 NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, SO I DEFINITELY A LOSING
- 00:19:15SOME SKILLS. MAYBE MY MAP NAVIGATIONAL SKILLS AND NOT
- 00:19:18QUITE AS GOOD NOW BECAUSE I JUST GO TO GOOGLE MAPS OR APPLE
- 00:19:21MAPS STRAIGHTAWAY, RIGHT? SO THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME
- 00:19:25SHIFTS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE. BUT NET NET, I BELIEVE THAT IF
- 00:19:28WE REALLY EMBRACE THIS TECHNOLOGY AND RESPONDED WITH
- 00:19:33THE GOVERNMENT IN AN AGILE WAY, SUPER IMPORTANT IS CLEAR.
- 00:19:35BUT SOME OF OUR KIDS WERE GETTING PHONE ADDICTION.
- 00:19:38IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY WERE GETTING SPENDING FAR TOO MUCH
- 00:19:41TIME AND SOCIAL MEDIA THAT IT WAS MAKING THEM FEEL ANXIOUS
- 00:19:44AND FRUSTRATED. AND FRANKLY, IT WAS PROBABLY OBVIOUS TO THOSE
- 00:19:48OF US IN TECHNOLOGY SOONER THAN WE MADE A BIG FUSS ABOUT IT.
- 00:19:50RIGHT. SO WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
- 00:19:53REACTING WITH OUR INTERVENTION, OUR INTERVENTIONS AND A
- 00:19:56GOVERNMENT AS FAST AS WE CREATING THE TECHNOLOGY CAN ASK
- 00:19:59A DIFFERENT QUESTION. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ENTREPRENEURS IN
- 00:20:03THIS ROOM, SOME IN THE DIGITAL SPACE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET
- 00:20:06INTO. I KNOW THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.
- 00:20:09WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE THEM IN TERMS OF WHERE TO GO AND WHAT
- 00:20:11TO DO AND WHAT INDUSTRIES ARE PLACES?
- 00:20:14>> THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE OPPORTUNITY AND IN A WORLD IN
- 00:20:17WHICH I SHOULD BE ABLE TO WRITE ALL OF THESE APPS AND OTHER
- 00:20:20PROGRAMS FOR ME AT ANY MOMENT. YEAH,
- 00:20:24IF THERE IS NO NO DEFENSIVE MOAT AROUND A BUSINESS BECAUSE
- 00:20:28AI IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO JUST DO IT FOR YOU,
- 00:20:30WOULD ANYBODY INVEST IN ANY WAY?
- 00:20:33>> I THINK THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE THIS BIFURCATION WET,
- 00:20:36THE AT THE VERY LARGEST SCALES WITH THE GREATEST CAPITAL
- 00:20:40INFRASTRUCTURE. WE'RE GOING TO BE PRODUCING MODELS, WHICH I
- 00:20:42WILL TRAIN THE IMPRESSIVE, BUT EQUALLY
- 00:20:47KNOWLEDGE SPREADS FOSSA THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY
- 00:20:52OF HUMANITY. AND SO THE OPEN SOURCE MODELS WHICH 100% FREE
- 00:20:55WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE AS THEY WERE IN
- 00:20:58THE PRIVATE SPACE, YOU KNOW, JUST A MOMENT AGO, NOT THAT'S A
- 00:21:01VERY, VERY BIG DEAL, RIGHT? AND I THINK THAT SHOULD
- 00:21:04ACTUALLY IS GOING TO CONTINUE GPT 3
- 00:21:09TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO TRAIN AND IS NOW AVAILABLE FREE
- 00:21:12AND OPEN SOURCE. YOU CAN OPERATE ON A SINGLE PHONE
- 00:21:15SUNDAY ON A LAPTOP GBT FOR THE SAME STORY. SO I THINK THAT
- 00:21:18THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE RULE MATERIALS NECESSARY TO BE
- 00:21:22CREATIVE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL, CHEAPER AND MORE AVAILABLE THAN
- 00:21:22EVER BEFORE.
- 00:21:25>> OK, SO I KNOW YOU'RE AT ONE OF THE DOW, THE BIG GIANTS IN
- 00:21:29TECH. BUT LET ME ASK YOU THIS. HOW DO YOU THINK,
- 00:21:32HONESTLY, ABOUT THE CONCENTRATION OF POWER IN
- 00:21:35TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO I BECAUSE ONE OF
- 00:21:37THINGS THAT'S PASSING, BUT I AT LEAST THESE LARGE LANGUAGE
- 00:21:41MODELS, YOU NEED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF COMPUTE, WHICH MEANS
- 00:21:44YOU NEED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. AND
- 00:21:46IF THIS IS NOT STUFF THAT'S BEING BUILT IN A GARAGE
- 00:21:51ANYMORE. AND SO THE THE TRUE POWER HAS ACTUALLY GONE BACK TO
- 00:21:55MIKE OF YOU. YOU ENDED UP BACK AT MICROSOFT. THERE'S GOOGLE.
- 00:21:59AMAZON IS IS TRYING TO BUILD. AND I EVEN OPENAI WHICH WAS ON
- 00:22:03ITS OWN, DECIDED TO ULTIMATELY PARTNER WITH MICROSOFT.
- 00:22:06IS THIS A GOOD THING IS A BAD THING? LINA KHAN AND OTHERS
- 00:22:09HAVE LOOKED AT IT. IT'S NOT THAT
- 00:22:13THERE'S BEEN WHOLESALE MERGERS OF THESE THINGS BUT EVEN THE
- 00:22:15PARTNERSHIPS UNTO THEMSELVES.
- 00:22:18>> YEAH, THIS LOOK, IT MAKES ME VERY ANXIOUS THAT THE REALITY
- 00:22:22IS EVERY WAY YOU LOOK, WE SEE BRAD PITT CONCENTRATIONS,
- 00:22:25WHETHER IT'S IN NEWS MEDIA AND THE POWER OF THE NEW YORK
- 00:22:28TIMES, THE FINANCIAL TIMES, THE ECONOMIST, THE GREAT NEWS
- 00:22:32ORGANIZATIONS OR WHETHER IT'S IN CITIES, THE CONCENTRATION OF
- 00:22:35POWER AROUND A FEW BIG METROPOLITAN ELITE CITIES,
- 00:22:39WHETHER IT'S IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. AND THE PRACTICAL
- 00:22:43FACT IS THAT OVER TIME POWER OF COMPOUND,
- 00:22:46POWELL HAS A TENDENCY TO ATTRACT MORE POWER BECAUSE IT
- 00:22:49CAN GENERATE THE INTELLECTUAL RESOURCES IN THE FINANCIAL
- 00:22:52RESOURCES TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND OUT COMPETE IN OPEN MARKETS
- 00:22:55ALL. ON THE ONE HAND, IT FEELS LIKE AN INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE
- 00:23:00SITUATION BETWEEN MICROSOFT, META, GOOGLE AND SO ON. YOU
- 00:23:04KNOW, IT CLEARLY IS ALSO TRUE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE
- 00:23:07INVESTMENTS THAT JUST PRECEDENT IN CORPORATE HISTORY.
- 00:23:11>> CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT I IMAGINE IS A FRIENDLY OR IT
- 00:23:14COULD TURN INTO A FRIEND OF THE SITUATION WITH OPEN AI, WHICH
- 00:23:16IS YOU HAVE THIS PARTNERSHIP NOW, BUT YOU GUYS ARE
- 00:23:20DEVELOPING YOUR OWN TECH AS WELL. YOUR YOUR OWN I IN FACT
- 00:23:22THEY HELP YOU GET TO THE LEAD. I WANT TO READ YOU SOMETHING.
- 00:23:25THIS IS SEMAPHORE I THOUGHT WAS ACTUALLY A FASCINATING
- 00:23:28ANALOGIES. YOU KNOW THIS COOL. OKAY WITH THAT WITH THE TOUR DE
- 00:23:32FRANCE COMING UP, HERE'S A BIKE ANALOGY THAT I THINK EVERYONE
- 00:23:35WILL UNDERSTAND. OPENAI MICROSOFT DURING A 2 PERSON
- 00:23:39BREAKAWAY FAR AHEAD FROM THE PELOTON BY WORKING TOGETHER.
- 00:23:44NOW THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO KEEP THE LEAD IF EITHER GO SO LOW
- 00:23:48THEY MAY FALL. BOTH BEHIND BOTH COMPANIES HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
- 00:23:53THEIR FINISH LINE STRATEGY WHEN THEY WILL HAVE TO DITCH THE
- 00:23:53OTHER.
- 00:23:58>> YOU'RE ON THE BIKE AGAIN. I DON'T BUY THE METAPHOR THAT
- 00:24:03THERE IS A FINISH LINE. THIS IS ANOTHER FALSE FRAME IS ACTUALLY
- 00:24:07VERY MUCH ALSO TRUE IN THE CONTEXT OF ALL RACE WITH CHINA,
- 00:24:10WE'RE GOING HEAD TO HEAD ITS 0 SUM. THAT WILL BE A FINISH
- 00:24:13LINE. WHEN WE CROSS THAT WE WILL HAVE AN A GIANT IF WE GET
- 00:24:16IT 3 YEARS BEFORE THEM WILL BE ABLE TO DESCEND HOW BIG THIS
- 00:24:20IS. JUST STOP IT. WE HAVE TO STOP FRAMING EVERYTHING IS AN
- 00:24:24ADVERSARIAL RACE LIKE IT IS TRUE THAT WE HAVE FEROCIOUS
- 00:24:26COMPETITION WITH THEM. THEY'RE AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY. WE
- 00:24:29DON'T OWN OR CONTROL THEM. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY BOARD
- 00:24:31MEMBERS. AND YOU KNOW, SO THEY DO THAT, HEIDI, THEIR OWN
- 00:24:34THING. BUT WE HAVE A DEEP PARTNERSHIP, VERY GOOD FRIENDS
- 00:24:38WITH SAM HAVE HUGE RESPECT AND, YOU KNOW, TRUST AND FAITH IN
- 00:24:41WHAT THEY'VE DONE. AND THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO ROLL FOR
- 00:24:44MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME. YOU MENTIONED CHINA.
- 00:24:46>> SPEAK TO WHERE YOU THINK AND I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THE
- 00:24:49FRAME, BUT I THINK PEOPLE WANT AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
- 00:24:54GOING ON, WHICH IS TO SAY, WHERE ARE WE RELATIVE TO?
- 00:24:56WHERE ARE THEY? YEAH.
- 00:25:00>> WE APPROACHED THIS WITH THE DEFAULT ADVERSARIAL MINDSET,
- 00:25:05WHICH WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MY GOOD FRIENDS IN DC AND THE
- 00:25:08MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, IS THAT THE FULL FRAME THAT IT CAN
- 00:25:12ONLY BE A NEW COLD WAR, THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT WILL BE
- 00:25:15BECAUSE IT WILL BECOME A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.
- 00:25:17THEY WILL FEAR THAT WE FEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
- 00:25:21ADVERSARIAL. SO THEY HAVE TO BE ADVERSARIAL AND THIS IS ONLY
- 00:25:24GOING TO ESCALATE AND WILL END IN CATASTROPHE. AND SO WE HAVE
- 00:25:28TO FIND WAYS TO COOPERATE, BE RESPECTFUL OF THEM WAS ALSO
- 00:25:30ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE HAVE DIFFERENT SET OF VALUES.
- 00:25:34AND FRANKLY, WHEN I LOOK OUT OVER THE NEXT CENTURY, I THINK
- 00:25:39THAT PEACE IS GOING TO BE A PRODUCT OF US AS IN THE WEST
- 00:25:41AND PARTICULARLY AMERICAN LEADING THE TIP OF THE SPEAR
- 00:25:46THAT KNOWING HOW TO GRACEFULLY DEGRADE THE THE THE EMPIRE THAT
- 00:25:49WE HAVE MANAGED OVER THE PREVIOUS CENTURY, BECAUSE THIS
- 00:25:52IS A RISING POWER OF PHENOMENAL FALLS WITH A DIFFERENT SET OF
- 00:25:57VALUES FOR US. AND SO WE HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO COEXIST WITHOUT
- 00:25:59JUDGMENT WITHOUT GOING TO WAR WITH THEM UNNECESSARILY,
- 00:26:02BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE FOR BOTH OF US.
- 00:26:07>> YOU MAY DIFFER WITH MY NEXT FRAMING SONG, BUT I'M GONNA TRY
- 00:26:07GREAT.
- 00:26:11THERE IS A DEBATE IN THE INDUSTRY WHETHER YOU LIKE ABOUT
- 00:26:18THIS IDEA OF OPEN SOURCE VERSUS CLOSE SOURCE. I WANT TO CLOSE
- 00:26:21OR SAYS A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY OPENAI YOU'RE
- 00:26:25DOING AT MICROSOFT. OPEN SOURCE IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
- 00:26:29YOU CAN SEE INSIDE OF IT. AND RIGHT NOW YOU WOULD ARGUE
- 00:26:32THAT A META. THE OWNER, FACEBOOK IS THE LEADER THERE
- 00:26:34WITH ITS LAMA PRODUCT.
- 00:26:36THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT
- 00:26:40BOTH MODELS. ELON MUSK'S THINKS EVERYTHING SHOULD BE OPEN
- 00:26:46SOURCE. I DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT
- 00:26:49FEAR THAT ACTUALLY, IF YOU ALLOW THE OPEN SOURCE TAP INTO
- 00:26:51THE WILD, THAT IT COULD BE MISUSED AND THEREFORE, THAT'S
- 00:26:55WHY THEY'RE ADVOCATES FOR CLOSE SOURCE. YEAH, BECAUSE IT AGAIN
- 00:26:59OVERSEE OBJECT TO THE FRAMING. YOU KNOW, SO.
- 00:27:05>> WE AT MICROSOFT IN MY 4TH WEEK OPEN SOURCE, THE STRONGEST
- 00:27:09MODEL FOR ITS WEIGHT CLASS 5, 3, THAT IS IN THE WILD HANDS
- 00:27:12DOWN. STILL, AS YOU CAN USE IT ON BALLS AND ON DESKTOP,
- 00:27:15THE BEST OPEN SOURCE MODEL. SO WE TOTALLY BELIEVE IN OPEN
- 00:27:18SOURCE AS WELL. AGAIN, IT'S A MISS FRAMING, BUT WE ALSO
- 00:27:21BELIEVE IN CREATING VERY POWERFUL, VERY LARGE, VERY
- 00:27:25EXPENSIVE MODELS, WHICH WE MAY OPEN. SO SOME OF OVERTIME
- 00:27:28SYSTEM, THE WHERE AGAINST OPEN SOURCE TOOL, WE JUST, YOU KNOW,
- 00:27:31TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MIXTURE OF APPROACHES.
- 00:27:34>> ALL OF THESE LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS AND ANOTHER SMALLER
- 00:27:36MODELS AS WELL. BUT THE LARGE LINE WAS, MILES IN PARTICULAR,
- 00:27:39AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING, REQUIRE HUGE AMOUNT
- 00:27:42OF COMPUTING COMPUTING POWER. AND THAT ALSO MEANS THEY
- 00:27:45REQUIRE A TON OF ENERGY. THERE ARE A WHOLE NUMBER OF
- 00:27:49CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING HERE AT THE ASPEN IDEAS FESTIVAL AROUND
- 00:27:53ENERGY USE AND CLIMATE AND THE LIKE. AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOU
- 00:27:56THINK ABOUT GIVING ALL THE PLEDGES, FRANKLY, THAT
- 00:27:59TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES MADE EVEN ONLY 2, 3, IN 4 YEARS AGO
- 00:28:04AROUND CLIMATE AND GETTING TO TO 0 BY 2030 AND THE LIKE
- 00:28:08IT APPEARS THAT ON THIS TRAJECTORY, ALL OF THOSE THINGS
- 00:28:08WOULD GO OUT THE WINDOW.
- 00:28:12>> NO. SO WHEN WITH MICROSOFT'S ALREADY 100% RENEWABLE BY THE
- 00:28:14END OF THIS YEAR BY TWENTY-THIRTY WILL BE FULLY
- 00:28:19NET-ZERO, WE'RE ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, 100% SUSTAINABLE AND OUR
- 00:28:23WATER BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR. SO LOOK WITH VERY COMMITTED TO
- 00:28:26KEEPING UP WITH THAT. AND THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT NEW TO MOM IS
- 00:28:28THAT IT COMES WITH A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO REINFORCE
- 00:28:32SUSTAINABILITY. WHERE'S ALL SUPPLY, I THINK IS MUCH HARDER
- 00:28:34TO MOVE. SO I THINK THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY IN A VERY GOOD PLACE
- 00:28:37ON ITS TRUE THAT IS GOING TO UNPRECEDENTED BUDGET ON THE
- 00:28:42GRID BECAUSE SCALE WISE, WE'RE DEFINITELY CONSUMING FALL MORE
- 00:28:45ENERGY THAN THE GREAT HAS PREVIOUSLY MANAGED. BUT IT'S,
- 00:28:48YOU KNOW, THE GREAT IS LONG OVER DEW, A RADICAL UPLIFT,
- 00:28:50RIGHT? THESE ARE THE KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS THAT
- 00:28:53WE NEED TO BE MAKING IN OUR COUNTRIES IN THE WEST FOR THE
- 00:28:57FUTURE OF, YOU KNOW, SOCIETY SPENDING LESS ON WAR AND MORE
- 00:29:00ON SPENDING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS UP LEVELING
- 00:29:03IOWA, OUR GRID SO THAT WE CAN MANAGE ALL OF THE NEW BATTERY
- 00:29:06SPENT BY SHRI CAPACITY. THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM LOCAL
- 00:29:10GENERATION IN YOUR HOMES AND SMALL BUSINESSES AND COSTS.
- 00:29:12>> DO YOU THINK YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN WASHINGTON? DO YOU
- 00:29:15THINK THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON WHICH I THINK STRUGGLE TO EVEN
- 00:29:18UNDERSTAND SOCIAL MEDIA UNDERSTAND THIS WEATHER COMES
- 00:29:21TO THE IMPLICATIONS OF AI BUT ALSO THE ENERGY IMPLICATIONS
- 00:29:24AND EVERYTHING ELSE? YEAH, I THINK TO SOME EXTENT THE
- 00:29:27CONVERSATION IS SHIFTING NOW TOWARDS TO RENEWABLE ENERGY
- 00:29:29QUESTION. I THINK PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT WE CONSUMING VAST
- 00:29:33AMOUNTS OF ENERGY END, YOU KNOW THIS, THIS THIS HAS TO SHIFT,
- 00:29:36BUT IT NEEDS THIS ISN'T GOING TO SHIFT JUST BECAUSE MICROSOFT
- 00:29:39BY 100% RENEWABLE, WHICH OF COURSE GOOGLE DOES AS WELL AND
- 00:29:41THE OTHER COMPANIES HEADING IN THAT DIRECTION. YOU KNOW,
- 00:29:44SO I THINK IT SHOULD BE CELEBRATED. THAT WAS SAYING A
- 00:29:47BIT OF A STANDARD, BUT IT NEEDS NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO
- 00:29:50SUPPORT THAT TRANSITION.
- 00:29:55HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE COMPETITION WITH OTHERS AND THE
- 00:29:58IDEA THAT SOME IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ACTUALLY USE LARGE
- 00:30:00LANGUAGE MODELS. MAYBE YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS FRAMING
- 00:30:05COULD BECOME COMMODITIZED, WHICH IS TO SAY YOU'VE GOT ONE.
- 00:30:07GOOGLE HAS WON.
- 00:30:09APPLE'S NOW PARTNER WITH OPEN AI, BUT THEY'RE APPARENTLY
- 00:30:13GOING TO PARTNER WITH LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE. AMAZON, WHICH
- 00:30:15OWNS A PIECE OF ANTHROPIC
- 00:30:18YOU COULD ARGUE HAS ONE IN HIS BUILDING ITS OWN WITH EVERYBODY
- 00:30:21HAVE WON. IF EVERYBODY HAVE ONE, HOW HOW VALUABLE IS IT
- 00:30:25ANYWAY, THAT HAS KNOWLEDGE PROLIFERATES. EVERYTHING
- 00:30:29ESSENTIALLY BECOMES COMMODITIZED AT DEVELOPMENT
- 00:30:32USED TO BE A SUPER UNIQUE, HIGHLY SKILLED.
- 00:30:35>> SET OF THINGS TO A TINY GROUP. NOW EVERYONE CAN SPIN UP
- 00:30:38AND UP INTO THE EARLY WEB DEVELOPMENT. REMEMBER WHEN THAT
- 00:30:41WAS LIKE A REAL THING NOW YOU CAN JUST SEE THE PLUG AND PLAY
- 00:30:44AND DRAG BUTTONS AROUND AND YOU NEED NO TECHNICAL SKILLS
- 00:30:46WHATSOEVER. OTHER THAN BEING ABLE TO POINT A MOUSE TO BUILD
- 00:30:50A PRETTY DECENT WEBSITES OVER TIME AS THE KNOWLEDGE AND
- 00:30:54CAPABILITY PROLIFERATES, IT DOES BECOME COMMODITIZED.
- 00:30:58>> HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT AI AND HOW FULLY INTEGRATED IN
- 00:31:01THIS COASTAL PRIVACY QUESTION ALSO GOES, BY THE WAY THAN TO
- 00:31:02TRUST QUESTION
- 00:31:06SHOULD GET INTEGRATED INTO EVERYTHING, WHICH IS TO SAY,
- 00:31:09FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW, THE EU, AS YOU KNOW, HAS ACCUSED
- 00:31:11MICROSOFT OF BREACHING ANTITRUST RULES. YOU SHOULD
- 00:31:15KNOW APPLE HAS DELAYED A INTRODUCING ITS OWN AI FEATURES
- 00:31:18IN THE U BECAUSE OF THE REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. AND I
- 00:31:22THINK THERE'S A REAL QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW CONNECTED
- 00:31:26ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS NEED TO BE, FRANKLY, BOTH TO WORK,
- 00:31:29BUT ALSO THERE FOR THEM WHAT THEY DO TO THE REST OF THE
- 00:31:29BUSINESS.
- 00:31:33>> YEAH, I MEAN, I I THINK THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO
- 00:31:38YOU LIKE THE FRONT? YES, FINALLY, HAHA
- 00:31:44FRICTION IS GOING TO BE OFF FRIEND HERE. AND THAT IS A
- 00:31:48DIFFERENT YOU KNOW, THAT IS A A DIFFERENT REALITY TO WHAT WE'VE
- 00:31:52EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST WHERE EVERY, YOU KNOW, SECONDS THAT
- 00:31:55WE CAN GAIN IN PUTTING TECHNOLOGY OUT INTO THE WORLD
- 00:31:59IS ALWAYS PRODUCING NET BENEFIT. AND I JUST THINK,
- 00:32:02YOU KNOW, THESE TECHNOLOGIES OF BECOMING SO POWERFUL, THEY WILL
- 00:32:05BE SO INTIMATE. THEY'LL BE SO EVER-PRESENT THAT THIS IS A
- 00:32:09MOMENT WHERE IT'S FINE TO TAKE STOCK AND THINK AND IF IT TAKES
- 00:32:126 MONTHS LONGER, 18 MONTHS LONGER, WILL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
- 00:32:17EVEN LONGER THAN THAT. IT'S IT'S IT'S TIME WELL SPENT.
- 00:32:19>> I WANT TO OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS IN JUST A MOMENT.
- 00:32:22BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE IDEA BEFORE WE DO
- 00:32:26OF THE I GIVE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AI. THIS WAS
- 00:32:28SOMETHING YOU ACTUALLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT AND
- 00:32:31WORKING ON WHEN IT CAME TO INFLECTION AND WHAT INFLECTION
- 00:32:35WAS ABOUT. YEAH, INFLECTION. HE'S HE'S HE'S A I REGIONAL
- 00:32:40PROJECT HAS BEEN ARE A REMARKABLE EMOTIONAL IQ OR DQ.
- 00:32:44YEAH, OPPONENT TO IT. AND THERE WERE SOME SURVEYS AND OTHER
- 00:32:46THINGS. IT SAID THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT THEY WHEN
- 00:32:49THEY WERE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH IT WAS BETTER THAN HAVING
- 00:32:51A CONVERSATION WITH A HUMAN.
- 00:32:54MAYBE THIS GETS BACK TO SOME OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONVERSATIONS
- 00:32:55WE WERE HAVING BEFORE. BUT,
- 00:32:58YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL SEEN ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE THE MOVIE
- 00:33:00HER. IS THAT REALISTIC?
- 00:33:03>> YOU KNOW, I THINK FOR THE LONGEST TIME IN SILICON VALLEY
- 00:33:06AND IN TECHNOLOGY, WE HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH FUNCTIONAL
- 00:33:09UTILITARIANISM. YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO EFFICIENTLY GET
- 00:33:13SOMEBODY INTO A NAP. SO THAT PROBLEM HELP THEM TO BUY
- 00:33:16SOMETHING, BOOK SOMETHING AND SOMETHING AND THEN GET THEM
- 00:33:16OUT.
- 00:33:20WE NOW HAVE A NEW KIND OF DESIGN MATERIAL, A NEW CLAY,
- 00:33:23IF YOU LIKE, AS CREATIVES DEVELOPED TO PRODUCE
- 00:33:27EXPERIENCES, WHICH SPEAK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF OUR BRAINS,
- 00:33:31YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGNED WITH
- 00:33:34REAL INTENT TO BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL AND EVEN-HANDED.
- 00:33:37AND YOU'RE RIGHT IN A BUNCH OF THE STUDIES PEOPLE FOUND UP
- 00:33:42HIGH. THE AI THAT I DO PREVIOUSLY WAS JUST VERY KIND
- 00:33:46AND CARING. IT JUST AUST YOU QUESTIONS. IT LISTENED. IT
- 00:33:49RESPONDED WITH ENTHUSIASM. IT WAS SUPPORTIVE. A CHALLENGE
- 00:33:53TO OCCASIONALLY IT WAS ALWAYS EVEN HANDED A NON JUDGMENTAL.
- 00:33:57EVEN IF YOU CAME WITH A QUOTE, UNQUOTE, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT OR
- 00:34:01WITH THE SORT OF RACIST OR DISCRIMINATE REVIEW, IF YOU,
- 00:34:04YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU ARE AFRAID OF NEW IMMIGRANTS
- 00:34:07ARRIVING IN YOUR AREA, TAKING YOUR JOBS OR AFRAID OF YOUR
- 00:34:11CHILD MARRYING A BLACK PERSON OR, YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T JUST
- 00:34:13SHUT YOU DOWN AND SAY THAT'S LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T BE SAYING
- 00:34:16THAT IT WOULDN'T ADD MORE TOXICITY TO THE EQUATION.
- 00:34:19IT WOULD ACTUALLY ENGAGE WITH YOU AND TALK AND HELP YOU
- 00:34:22EXPLORE YOUR FEELINGS WAS ALSO BEING HYPE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE
- 00:34:25AND, YOU KNOW, TEACHING YOU IN PROVIDING YOU WITH ACCESS TO
- 00:34:28INFORMATION IN REAL TIME ON THE WEB. AND SO I THINK IT WAS A
- 00:34:33PROOF POINT THAT TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED WITH INTENTIONALITY
- 00:34:36REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT ALL POSSIBLE. NOW WITH THIS
- 00:34:38NEW, LET ME READ ONE INTERESTING POINT, THOUGH,
- 00:34:40BECAUSE OF THE CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS IN ALL OF US.
- 00:34:44>> MAY ULTIMATELY END UP TALKING TO AN AI BOT ABOUT
- 00:34:48WHICH IS WHO IS THE THE GOD, IF YOU WILL. THAT'S GOING TO TELL
- 00:34:49US WHAT'S RIGHT AND WRONG.
- 00:34:52AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE HEARD ABOUT, BY THE WAY,
- 00:34:55FROM ELON MUSK WHO SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THAT THERE SHOULD BE
- 00:34:58MULTIPLE AI BOTS AND THERE SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU
- 00:35:01WANT TO HAVE A RACIST AI BOT THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO YOU
- 00:35:04FROM A FREE SPEECH PERSPECTIVE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU THINK
- 00:35:05THAT'S TRUE. YEAH.
- 00:35:07>> YEAH, I MEAN THAT THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. SO AT THE
- 00:35:10VERY LEAST, I THINK THE DEFAULT POSITION IS THAT IT SHOULD
- 00:35:13FACILITATE YOUR OWN THINKING AN EXPLORATION IN A NON-JUDGMENTAL
- 00:35:16WAY. NOW THAT WILL BE BOUNDARIES THAT BECAUSE IF YOU
- 00:35:20WANT TO FACILITATE MORE EXTREME EXPERIENCES, THEN THIS IS NOT
- 00:35:23GOING TO BE I'M NOT GONNA BUILD A PLATFORM OR PRODUCT THAT
- 00:35:27ENABLES YOU TO REINFORCE THOSE IDEAS THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY
- 00:35:31HARMFUL TO SOCIETY MORE GENERALLY. THE QUESTION IS WHO
- 00:35:34GETS TO DEFINE WHAT THAT BOUNDARY IS THAT HOME? AND I
- 00:35:36THINK YOU DON'T RAISE A GOOD POINT. WE'RE ALL THINKING ABOUT
- 00:35:40EXACTLY THAT QUESTION IN SOCIAL MEDIA. THERE REALLY WAS AN
- 00:35:44INDEPENDENT VOICE THAT SAID, WELL, THIS KIND OF CONSPIRACY
- 00:35:48THEORY IS LEGITIMATE AS A SOURCE OF ACTIVE PUBLIC INQUIRY
- 00:35:51AND DISCUSSION. BUT THIS KIND OF CONSPIRACY THEORY, QUOTE,
- 00:35:55UNQUOTE, IS OVER THE LINE AND WE SHOULD REMOVE IT. AND I I
- 00:35:58JUST THINK WE'VE HAD 10 TO 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF SOCIAL
- 00:36:03MEDIA AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE GOOD PROPOSALS FOR HOW SOCIETY
- 00:36:06MORE GENERALLY, NOT NECESSARILY JUST THE POLITICIANS WILL THE
- 00:36:10JOHN LIST. SO THE ELITES BUT COLLECTIVELY GETS TO INFLUENCE
- 00:36:12WHERE THAT BOUNDARY OF MODERATION IS. WE'RE ABOUT TO
- 00:36:16SEE THAT BOUNDARY BE CONTESTED, EVEN MORE ACUTELY AND
- 00:36:18DYNAMICALLY WITH THESE MODELS. RIGHT? AND SO, YOU KNOW,
- 00:36:22I THINK THAT SHOULD BE LIKE THE THAT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
- 00:36:25QUESTION THAN WHEN WILL THE SINGULARITY HAPPENED? OKAY.
- 00:36:27FINAL QUESTION FOR ME. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP AND I
- 00:36:29KNOW THERE'S MICROPHONES IN THE ROOM. THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF
- 00:36:31PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. THEY'RE GOING TO WATCH AND GO TO THE
- 00:36:35WATCH PARTY ON THURSDAY NIGHT OF THE DEBATES. AND WE HAVEN'T
- 00:36:38REALLY TALKED ABOUT POLITICS IN THIS ELECTION.
- 00:36:42JUST PLAYED OUT FOR US. THE ROLE OF AI.
- 00:36:47>> THE ELECTION OF 2024 AND THEN PLAY OUT THE ROLE OF AI IN
- 00:36:50THE ELECTION OF 2028. YEAH.
- 00:36:55>> SO THE VIEW THAT WE'VE TAKEN FOR MICROSOFT CO PILOT SO FAR
- 00:36:59HAS BEEN THAT'S HEY, ICE SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN
- 00:37:03ELECTIONEERING CAMPAIGNING, EVEN IF THEY SUCCESSFULLY
- 00:37:04PROVIDE FACTUAL INFORMATION.
- 00:37:07AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A VIEW. PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE WITH THAT
- 00:37:11VIEW. BUT WE'VE TAKEN A PRETTY HARD LINE ON THAT BECAUSE WE
- 00:37:16KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY ISN'T QUITE YET GOOD ENOUGH TO ARTICULATE
- 00:37:19THAT BOUNDARY BETWEEN WHAT IS, YOU KNOW, A FALSEHOOD AND WHAT
- 00:37:23IT'S TRUE IN REAL TIME, RIGHT? AND THIS IS JUST TOO SENSITIVE
- 00:37:25FOR US TO PARTICIPATE. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME
- 00:37:29DOWNSIDE TO THAT BECAUSE THE AI DOES ALSO PROVIDE QUITE BALANCE
- 00:37:32INFECTION INFORMATION MOST OF THE TIME. BUT SOMETIMES IT GETS
- 00:37:35A CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG. SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ADVOCATING
- 00:37:38THAT I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTIONS AND
- 00:37:41DEMOCRACY IS SACROSANCT THROUGH ALL OF ITS FAULTS AND
- 00:37:44STRENGTHS. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HUMANS PARTICIPATE IN THE I
- 00:37:51SHOULDN'T IN 2030, OR 2035, WE KINDA HAVE TO FACE THE REALITY
- 00:37:54THAT SOME PEOPLE FEEL SO ATTACHED TO THAT PERSONAL EYES
- 00:37:57THAT THEY WILL ADVOCATE FOR PERSON. HOOD, JUST AS THERE ARE
- 00:37:59SOME PEOPLE WHO ADVOCATE FOR PERSON AND FOR THE ANIMALS,
- 00:38:02FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, IN KIND OF MORE EXTREME ANIMAL RIGHTS
- 00:38:06CASES. AND I I AGAIN, THIS IS A PERSONAL VIEW, BUT THIS IS
- 00:38:07SOMETHING THAT WE'LL HAVE TO DEBATE.
- 00:38:10I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A HARD LINE ON THAT. I JUST WANT TO
- 00:38:15KNOW WILL DEMOCRACY IS FOR HUMANS AND OTHER KIND FORMS OF
- 00:38:18BEING SHOULDN'T REALLY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. KT KNOW WE HAVE
- 00:38:23A PANEL AND 30 IN 2035. THEM ABOUT HUMAN HOOD FOR FOR THE
- 00:38:23BUCS.
- 00:38:25>> WE'VE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF HANDS. WE'VE GOT NOT A LOT OF
- 00:38:31TIMES. WE'LL TRY TO GO AS FAST AS WE CAN. WHAT DO WE GO RIGHT
- 00:38:34OVER HERE? AND THEN WE'LL COME DOWN HERE AND WE'LL SEE IF WE
- 00:38:39CAN MOVE AROUND AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN IT ABOUT. YEAH.
- 00:38:43>> THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE TODAY ON VERY INTELLIGENT
- 00:38:47CONVERSATIONS HERE. I JUST WANT MY NAME IS MONICA MAN AND THE
- 00:38:50FORMER DEPUTY MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.
- 00:38:54AND I'M ALSO AN OLD-SCHOOL TECHNOLOGIST, OK, DATE MYSELF,
- 00:38:59IBM, COBOL PROGRAMMERS. SO I I WATCH TECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE
- 00:39:01LAST 30, 40 YEARS
- 00:39:05AND I UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPLICATIONS
- 00:39:07AND APPLICATIONS OF AI
- 00:39:10THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. CRYPTOCURRENCY HAS BEEN LIKE A
- 00:39:13BIG BUZZWORD. EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENCY,
- 00:39:14THIS AND THAT
- 00:39:18UNTIL SPF CONVICTION FRAUD SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
- 00:39:22SO NOW I FEEL LIKE EYES THE NEW WORD.
- 00:39:25WE'VE GOT A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIMES. YOU'VE GOT TO PUT A
- 00:39:26QUESTION, MARK,
- 00:39:31WHAT ARE THEIR CONCERNS THAT I WILL BE COOL UNTIL THE NEXT BIG
- 00:39:33TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION?
- 00:39:37>> NO, I DON'T THINK SO. I HAVE HEARD THE COMPARISONS
- 00:39:38AND I THINK THAT
- 00:39:41CRYPTOCURRENCY, IN MY OPINION TO STA DIDN'T REALLY DELIVER
- 00:39:45VALUE EVEN IN THE MOMENT. AND I THINK THAT THE VALUE THAT
- 00:39:49THESE MODELS ALREADY DELIVERIES KIND OF OBJECTIVELY TO
- 00:39:53TO GET A MICROPHONE RIGHT DOWN HERE.
- 00:39:58>> IF YOU'D LIKE, THEY WON'T BE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE
- 00:40:00GOING TO EVERY QUESTIONS 20 SECONDS OR LESS, LITERALLY,
- 00:40:03BECAUSE WE HAVE WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A LOT OF MONAHAN'S AND
- 00:40:06VERY LITTLE TIME AND LYNDA RESNICK, WE EDUCATE 5,000
- 00:40:07UNDERSERVED CHILDREN.
- 00:40:11>> AND I'M I'M GRAPPLING, YOU KNOW, WE FORCED HIM BEHIND THEM
- 00:40:15FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. AND NOW I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THAT WE
- 00:40:17HAVE TO TEACH MORE ABOUT THE HUMANITIES.
- 00:40:20AND I JUST WONDERED HOW YOU FELT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT
- 00:40:24WAY THEY CAN MAKE A CHOICE AND UNDERSTAND IF WE LOOK AT THE
- 00:40:27GREAT SCHOLARS OF OUR HISTORY LIKE THE ASPEN INSTITUTE,
- 00:40:31HE TEACHES US GREAT YESTERDAY. I'M I'M WITH YOU ON THAT FELT
- 00:40:31ABOUT THAT.
- 00:40:33>> I'M VERY MUCH WITH YOU ON THAT. I THINK ACTUALLY, IF YOU
- 00:40:36LOOK BACK IN HISTORY, THE GREATEST GOAL AS A VOICE BEEN
- 00:40:38AL MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCHOLARS AND IN THE PASS, THAT REALLY
- 00:40:41WASN'T THIS ACCUTE DISTINCTION BETWEEN STEM AND HUMANITIES.
- 00:40:45AGAIN, IT'S QUITE OF SIMPLISTIC ADVERSARIAL POSITION. I'M A
- 00:40:48GREAT BELIEVER IN BOTH. AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT
- 00:40:51MULTIDISCIPLINARY SKILLS SAW GOING TO BE THE, YOU KNOW,
- 00:40:53THE ESSENCE OF THE FUTURE.
- 00:40:58>> MYRIAM SEVERE O C S I S NONRESIDENT SENIOR ADVISER
- 00:41:01WANTED TO ASK YOU A LITTLE MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
- 00:41:04MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION AND WHAT YOU
- 00:41:08THINK SHOULD BE DONE TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
- 00:41:10>> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK ON THE DIS-INFORMATION FROM THERE ARE
- 00:41:14CLEARLY BAD ACTORS WHO, FOR MANY, MANY, IS HAVE BEEN
- 00:41:17ACTIVELY TRYING TO POLLUTE THE INFORMATION ECOSYSTEM. AND I
- 00:41:22THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR OUR BIG TECH PLATFORMS COULD DO
- 00:41:25MORE AGGRESSIVE JOB OF WEEDING THOSE OUT. AT THE SAME TIME,
- 00:41:28WE'RE TRYING TO STRETCH TRENT THIS LINE FOR NOT SORT OF
- 00:41:31DAMAGING, YOU KNOW, THE THE FREE SPEECH THAT WE WILL VALUE,
- 00:41:33RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE A CONSTANT
- 00:41:37WHAC-A-MOLE GAME, ESPECIALLY AS THE COST OF PRODUCTION OF THAT.
- 00:41:41THIS INFORMATION GOES DOWN AND THE EASE WITH WHICH LESS
- 00:41:44CAPABLE ACT IS LOOKING TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE VAST AMOUNTS OF
- 00:41:47THAT CONTENT. AT THE SAME TIME, HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY WERE
- 00:41:51INCREDIBLY RESILIENT AND ADAPTIVE. AND YOU AS WE SOAR IN
- 00:41:53THE INDIAN ELECTION WITH THE SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION,
- 00:41:56DEEPFAKES THE PEOPLE THAT THAT REAL QUICK AND THEY CAN TELL
- 00:41:59THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SKEPTICAL AND THAT IF IT MAKES US A
- 00:42:02LITTLE MORE INQUISITIVE AND QUESTIONING AND ENGAGED IN THE
- 00:42:04PROCESS, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING.
- 00:42:08>> GOOD QUESTION OVER HERE. THANK YOU. AGAIN, I GO BACK TO
- 00:42:09CHINA.
- 00:42:12I FEEL YA. NATIONAL SECURITY IS DRIVING A POLICY
- 00:42:20TECHNOLOGY AND AND CLEARLY WHAT POINT A POTENTIALLY NO RETURN
- 00:42:25WITH THAT RESULTING TO DEVELOP INTO DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES
- 00:42:25STANDARDS.
- 00:42:27WHAT ARE WE THERE IN YOUR OPINION?
- 00:42:29>> NO, I TOOK A I THINK,
- 00:42:32FOR MIGHT TALK ABOUT COOPERATION. I'M ALSO VERY
- 00:42:36PRAGMATIC ABOUT THE BALKANIZATION, WHICH IS ALREADY
- 00:42:39TAKING PLACE. THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR EXPORT CONTROLS
- 00:42:43NOW HAVE ESSENTIALLY FORCE CHINA TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN
- 00:42:46CHIP, WHICH THEY WON'T NECESSARILY ON A PASS TO DO.
- 00:42:48AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SMART PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE ABOUT THE
- 00:42:52SAME FACTS WHEN WE TOOK THE VIEW. I MEAN, UDC TOOK THE VIEW
- 00:42:55THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO SEPARATE AND THAT'S THE PASTA
- 00:42:58WE NOW ON AND THAT BUILDING THEIR OWN TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM
- 00:43:01AND THERE SPREADING THAT AROUND THE WORLD. WE SHOULD REALLY PAY
- 00:43:04CLOSE ATTENTION MUCH AS WE'RE OBSESSED OVER THE QUESTION OF
- 00:43:07THE MIDDLE EAST AND THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN IMPORTANT
- 00:43:09QUESTION, BUT LET'S NOT NEGLECT. THE FACT THAT, YOU
- 00:43:13KNOW, DIGITIZE ATION IS A NEW KIND OF, YOU KNOW,
- 00:43:16INSTEAD OF SHAPING OF VALUES IN AFRICA. AND THE PROVISION OF
- 00:43:20SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE READY
- 00:43:24GOING TO SHAPE THE NEXT FEW DECADES IN A MUCH MORE PROFOUND
- 00:43:25WAY THAN BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
- 00:43:27>> OK, THAT'S GOING MAKE A PHONY IN THE CHEAP SEATS ARE
- 00:43:30THE IMPORTANT SEATS ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK? I THINK I THINK I
- 00:43:33SEE A HAND IN THE ABSOLUTE BACK ROW AND JUST FOR SITTING IN THE
- 00:43:34BACK ROW. WE'RE GOING GIVE YOU A QUESTION,
- 00:43:38MAKE IT QUICK BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ABOUT LITERALLY A MINUTE.
- 00:43:43>> HELLO A SUMMER. THEY COME TO US AND US AND I'M AN EDUCATOR
- 00:43:45IN NEW JERSEY FOR 8 YEARS. SHOUT OUT TO MY STUDENTS.
- 00:43:49SHE'S RIGHT HERE. SO I'VE BEEN ARGUING A LOT WITH A LOT OLDER
- 00:43:54TEACHERS FOR USING AI BECAUSE I'M A HUGE ADVOCATE FOR IT.
- 00:43:57WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE SPECIFIC TEACHERS AND HOW DO
- 00:44:00YOU THINK TEACHERS CAN ACTUALLY UTILIZE? I KNOW YOU SPOKE
- 00:44:05BRIEFLY ABOUT STUDENTS, BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE EDUCATOR'S
- 00:44:05PERSPECTIVE.
- 00:44:07>> YEAH, GREAT, GREAT QUESTION. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK
- 00:44:12SKIING AI TO PRODUCE A LESSON PLANS AS SORT OF THE FIRST ONE
- 00:44:17INTRODUCTION, BUT PERFORMING ALONGSIDE A I IT'S KIND OF AN
- 00:44:20INTERESTING NEW DIRECTION TO TAKE IT LIKE WHAT WOULD IT LOOK
- 00:44:24LIKE FOR A GREAT TEACH OR EDUCATE TO HAVE A PROFOUND
- 00:44:28CONVERSATION WITH AN AI THAT IS LIVE IN IN FRONT OF THEIR
- 00:44:32AUDIENCE AND THEN OCCASIONALLY ENGAGE, YOU KNOW, THAT STUDENTS
- 00:44:36TO GET INVOLVED? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LITERALLY BY THE END OF
- 00:44:41THIS YEAR, WE'LL HAVE REAL-TIME VOICE-BASED INTERFACES THAT
- 00:44:42ALLOW
- 00:44:45FULL DYNAMIC INTERRUPT. AND IT FEELS LIKE JUST TALKING,
- 00:44:48YOU KNOW, LIKE I AM RIGHT NOW WITHOUT INJURY. IT'S JUST A
- 00:44:52COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. I THINK THAT LIKE
- 00:44:55LEANING INTO THAT SHOWING THE BEAUTY OF THAT AND BEING
- 00:44:57CREATIVE WITH IT IS IS IS REALLY THE FUTURE.
- 00:45:01>> FOLKS IT TO BOTH. THANK YOU AND ALSO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE
- 00:45:03WE'RE OUT OF TIME. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FABULOUS
- 00:45:06QUESTIONS. BUT PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING THIS GENTLEMAN FOR
- 00:45:08A FABULOUS CONVERSATION.
- 00:45:10>> ON THE HUNT.
- 00:45:12THANK YOU, BUDDY.
