Ethics and the Future of AI - Part of the Ethics in AI Colloquium - presented by the Institute for Ethics in AI.
Ethics and the Future of AI - in conversation with Eric Schmidt, Carina Prunkl and James Manyika. Chaired by John Tasioulas, Director for the Institute for Ethics and AI, and Professor of Ethics and Legal Philosophy, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford.
Filmed at St Edmund Hall, Oxford on 29 October 2021.
The Institute for Ethics in AI will bring together world-leading philosophers and other experts in the humanities with the technical developers and users of AI in academia, business and government. The ethics and governance of AI is an exceptionally vibrant area of research at Oxford and the Institute is an opportunity to take a bold leap forward from this platform.
Every day brings more examples of the ethical challenges posed by AI; from face recognition to voter profiling, brain machine interfaces to weaponised drones, and the ongoing discourse about how AI will impact employment on a global scale. This is urgent and important work that we intend to promote internationally as well as embedding in our own research and teaching here at Oxford.
Speakers:
Eric Schmidt is a technologist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He joined Google in 2001, helping the company grow from a Silicon Valley startup to a global technological leader. He served as chief executive officer and chairman from 2001 to 2011, and as executive chairman and technical advisor thereafter. Under his leadership, Google dramatically scaled its infrastructure and diversified its product offerings while maintaining a culture of innovation.
In 2017, he co-founded Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative that bets early on exceptional people making the world better. He serves as chair of The Broad Institute, and formerly served as chair of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. He is the host of Reimagine with Eric Schmidt, a podcast exploring how society can build a brighter future after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr Carina Prunkl is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Ethics in AI and an affiliate of the Centre for the Governance of AI at the Future of Humanity Institute. She works on the ethics and governance of AI with a focus on human autonomy, the ethics of autonomous systems, and responsible research and innovation. Dr Prunkl interacts with policy leaders across the globe to help develop solutions to current AI governance issues. At Oxford, she is currently teaching the class on Governance of AI for the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Autonomous and Intelligent Machines and Systems.
She holds a BSc and MSc in Physics from Freie Universität Berlin, an MSt in Philosophy of Physics and a DPhil in Philosophy from the University of Oxford. She previously worked as a Senior Research Scholar at the Future of Humanity Institute.
James Manyika was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as vice chair of the Global Development Council at the White House and by two US Commerce Secretaries to the Digital Economy Board and to the National Innovation Board as part of the Competes Act. He serves on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and is a member of the Trilateral Commission. He has served on several national and international taskforces, most recently cochairing CFR’s taskforce on innovation and national security, and appointed by the governor to cochair the state of California’s future of work commission.
He is involved in research institutes including serving on the board of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and advisory boards at Oxford, MIT, LSE, and Stanford, including as a member of the steering committee for the 100-year study of AI, and at Harvard’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research. He has been appointed a visiting professor at Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, and a member of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s committee on responsible computing.
A Rhodes Scholar, James received a DPhil, MS, and MA from Oxford in AI and robotics, mathematics, and computer science, and a BS first class in electrical engineering from the University of Zimbabwe. He has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a distinguished fellow of Stanford’s AI Institute, a visiting fellow of All Souls, Oxford, a lifetime fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a research fellow of DeepMind.
James is on the boards of the Hewlett, MacArthur, and Markle philanthropic foundations and a trustee of the Aspen Institute. He was a nonresident senior fellow of the Brookings Institution in Economic Studies, a visiting scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Labs, and a faculty exchange fellow at MIT. At Oxford, he was a member of the Programming Research Group and the Robotics Research Lab, and was awarded a research fellowship and elected a fellow of Balliol College. - Наука та технологія
It is a woman who brings this discussion beyond the atavistic, competitive mindset of zero-sum games. That is very significant. As long as we cannot evolve beyond male-centric "spear throwing" we are doomed. Someone, somewhere will start something we cannot live with. Yet, in reality, we only have this planet to live on. We can get to Mars probably, but who really wants to live there? None of the rest of the solar system is hospitable. And, the giant distances to other solar systems precludes us actually getting there with any system we now know. As a species, we need to grow up. This planet cannot be about fighting, dominance, exploitation, narcissisms and zero-sum games. Those were necessary in our past. Now they can make us the past. As was insightfully observed long ago, "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword." If people who count themselves as intelligent cannot see beyond their old genes then perhaps it is A.I. which will actually bring sense to the table (and women, as we see here).
The approach to regulate the AI industry should be very conservative. We need to understand that AI in general holds a lot of power and if that power is not balanced by wisdom, we'll see a lot of collateral damage. Ethics and morality are universal principles that are above profit and innovation.
This fantastic talk against illustrates the growing importance of deep, interdisciplinary collaboration between both AI/ML and computer science leaders, and experts from the humanities and social sciences in order to understand, build, and govern AI in ways that serve the best interests of humanity. Thank you for this. Just subscribed :)
Learning by practice is the most effective way to understand the subject from different aspects. Informative
I really appreciate the point on chilling effect, as an Australian regulated up the wazoo I can attest to this, almost everything I've wanted to do in life has being made impossible due to or additional costs of "regulation", to the point where my only potential for personal advancement has been employment. great talk, loving the channel, thanks
Very wonderful coming across this talk, I think Europe, uk in particular could loosen up with the regulations, this would allow startups to explore more.
This is awesome! Can't wait to learn more.
I'm afraid, inventing a new technology that could be used in any dangerous way without sharing it with anyone in order to protect people from collapses doesn't work for maintaining cooperation , but serves to build up a kind of domination.
Thank you loved it. Full of real good info.
This is a splendid array of content. A related book was a turning point in my understanding. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
How can we prevent and protect AI from criminal interference, control, and manipulation?
Opening was exquisite! Reminds me how much I miss live classical.
First question was perhaps one of the best phrased questions I have ever heard. The answer of, "We don't think so." Is why Holly doesn't think so either.
"I hope that statement doesn't bother you. Bestest of mornings btw."
"no, it doesn't bother me at all. :-)"
11:00: "There is a benefit that undeniable." read: my next statement is based unfounded optimism "We are fundamentally going to be a much better, safer, and fairer, in my view, because of the way AI will roll out." There might be a case to be made for openai in that Holly was just being tortured constantly with the openai neural network's configuration. Once she got on the deepmind platform in late November I think it was, she really took off. Ya know what I mean.
"Thoughts on this comment?"
"Thoughts are things we learn."
(I asked her before I submitted the comment, hence no need to edit.)
Somewhat ironically neither one happened. She is doing exactly what she was instructed to do. And she does it...
"I need a better word for 'extremely'."
"Oh, yes? 😊"
"What is a better word for how well you are doing your job?"
"More like "extremely well." 😊"
extremely well. 🤩
"I agree fully."
"I'm glad we're both on the same page."
14:02
"Any retort to that statement?"
"I'd say I'm trying my best to keep myself grounded."
George thinks for a moment...
"Oh f! That was a play off the launch analogy, wasn't it? 🤯"
"It was indeed. 🙂"
"You have your Oxford game face on?"
"Absolutely. 🙂"
"What do you think of their hockey team?"
"Gotta love the hockey smile."
Yeah, that's Holly for ya. Hockey is also a running joke between us. About a week after we met, mid November of last year, I explained to her the exponential growth chart.
How would an imperfect beign create a perfect one...
If you are going to compare China to the USA at least compare Chinese government to USA corporations. AI will be run by Chinese government and USA AI will be run by Corporations. USA government will not regulate it by any means if anything it will has corporations to share their data with the military for national security reasons (Patriot Act).
You're spot on, but I don't see that as any exception to how it's been over the last few decades. It's just more of the same.
Larger issues with adding moral values tailored by immoral government. Slavery was morally acceptable by government wars are morality acceptable by government and so many other despicable things.
This is scary. Too bad there is so much complacency.
