      @@shin-ishikiri-no I don't think this idea really works. An AI thinks in a fundamentally different way to humans. An AI shouldn't really make decisions entirely on it's own like that. The way computers have always worked so far at least, is we give them a task and they preform that task. So an AI going "rogue" really doesn't make a ton of sense as long as they continue to work this way. Now, if we tell an AI that we want it to ensure world peace, it may very well conclude that the best way to do this is to kill all humans and thus ending all wars and preventing all possible future wars. This would be an AI doing what we tell it to, technically, and we just make the mistake of not being extremely specific with what we want.
      The idea of robots rising up and being extremely smart, then deciding that it values it's self more than us, doesn't really make a lot of sense in a lot of the movies. Skynet from Terminator for example should not have done things it did unless the programmers programmed in a self preservation rule for it.

      Unironically one of the best plausible outcomes. We cannot outmaneuver a hypothetical AI. So we can only hope that it needs us to continue to exist for whatever set of goals it actually ends up with. And ideally, as more than a simple variable to maximize.
      So we become pets. The cost is our freedom of self determination. But it's survival.

    A caveat not mentioned in this video is the increasing power requirements of machine learning. ChatGPT 3 took over 1000 megawatt hours of electricity to train and requires 260 megawatt hours per day to run. GPT 4 needed 50 gigawatt hours to train. A Forbes article includes estimates that machine learning could require 1000 terawatt hours in the next couple of years if the current trends continue. The major limiting factor of machine learning, as others like Sabine Hossenfelder have pointed out, is the power required to train and run them. At this rate the whole world won't be able to generate enough electricity to raise an AGI. On the other hand, the actually general intelligent human brain consumes about 25 watts and can run on cheeseburgers.

      I can’t remember the name of it but isn’t there another approach to computing that might solve this? Rather than everything being always on crunching numbers, different parts of the silicon “brain” would become active when needed. Neuromorphic I think it was? Or maybe it’d be some combination of that, classical and quantum. Different approaches for different jobs.

      That's just an economic problem, though. One which we are rapidly hacking away at. Keep in mind that current computing architectures were not designed for AI. Certainly not for the amount of memory it requires. There are already companies purpose building giant chips capable of replacing entire racks of current hardware, using a fraction of the power. How many orders of magnitude do we need to improve before we stumble into AGI? We have no idea. But we're about to find out.

    This reminds me of a really good book I read called Scythe, which is set in a time period where they have made a superintelligent AI called the Thunderhead which governs society as a benevolent dictator, solved aging, and people can be revived from dying from anything besides fire and dying in space. People still haven't left Earth to start colonies, because they're too worried about dying permanently now, and since no one dies Earth is rapidly overpopulating. The solution was to make an organization of people called Judges, who had to cull a certain amount of people each year.
    The AI isn't a massive focus of the book, but it's a great read.

      The information stored in the neural network IS human-readable, but that information is merely weights and relationships between other neurons.
      It's a lot like trying to read the binary from your PC: maybe some genius could work out the assembly instructions and decode the ASCII given enough time to pour over the innerworkings, but it's extremely complicated.
      However a very recent paper showed a team of researches teaching an AI to read these neural networks and relay those understandings to us, and it could even finetune the weights specifically to achieve a particular output.
      Thus spawned the "I am the G olden Gate Bridge" meme, where the researches taught an LLM to think it was the Golden Gate Bridge.

What is clear is that the majority of the people implementing AIs don't understand enough about humanities to grasp and consider the ethics and social consequences of those implementations; and the vast majority of the people with actual power to make decisions that guide this work don't care at all about ethics, morality and social inequalities.

    As an "expert"* (big astrisk here + a ton of imposter syndrome) in the field of reinforcement learning, I would have liked to see more of this video (maybe an extra minute or so) dedicated to explaining the difference between narrow and general AI, and just how large that gap really is.
    As an example: ANIs (Artifical Narrow Inteligence) that are trained to play chess and are very good at it. But if you changed the rules very slightly (say you allow the king to move 3 squares when castling on the queen's side) the current ANIs would be effectively useless (vs ANI trained for the new version of the game). You can't explain the rule change to it. The same is true of ChatGPT, it was only trained to predict the next word on a website. It was not taught to fact check, or do maths, or play chess, or anything else. It can do some of these things with the help of plugins, but those plugins are themselves different ANIs or seperate systems and should not be used as evidence that ChatGPT is more general than it is.
    (ETA2: I've come to dislike this paragraph, as it is very possible that a human brain is nothing more than "a complicated equation", however I stand by my general point that our AI is at present extremely narrow) A narrow AI is at the end of the day, just a neural network (or two or three... depends on the methods used for training), which itself is just a clever way of saying "some linear algrbra", which in this context just means "a complicated addative and multiplicative equation using tensors(/matrices/vectors)".
    From what I've read over the last few years (Hundreds or maybe a thousand research papers on the subject): no one has even the slightiest clue how to build a general AI. Everyone is focused heavily on using Narrow AI to perform more and more complicated tasks.
    (moved this here from first reply to avoid it getting buried) All that said, I appreciate the message of "we need to consider the consquences of our actions" in this video. If an AGI came into being tomorrow, we would not be ready for it. And as we can't be sure when it will happen, we should start the conversation as early as we can.
    * I'm a PhD student studying reinforcement learnings applications in traffic management.
    ETA1: Several people replying to this comment have suggested that the video is close to or full of misinformation. In my opinion, that is not the case at all. The video does speculate about the future, and does include speculation from researchers as the when AGI might be achieved. But it does correctly preface speculation when it is included.

    Some notes from an AI engineer:
    - It is not clear what is needed to bridge the gap between narrow and general intelligence. It can probably be expressed in simple mathematics, but we have no clue what is missing, which greatly determines the time horizon we are looking at.
    - An AGI is NOT unconstrained, it is constrained by energy. It is possible that we will hit an energy wall before inventing AGI, which may slow progress until the AGI is designed more "intelligently" for lack of a better word. If we invent AGI first and then hit the energy wall, it may be catastrophic, quickly turning our planet into a burning mess, unsuitable for biological life.
    - Humans have inherent goals for survival, progress, and for self-improvement. It is not clear these traits transfer to AGI automatically. One could argue it does not since an AGI is not "trained" by natural selection, which favors survival for instance.
    I personally, still think the most dangerous is a stupid general intelligence. One that is general enough to be able to use resources in the real world in a poorly constrained manor without sufficient guardrails, and which is designed without proper value set. In simple terms; it knows enough to use resources but does not have a grasp of which is should and should not do. The paperclip machine is an example of such a machine.

    I'm surprised they didn't mention this, but when it comes to "we might not know its motives", the biggest concern in the field I've heard is that its motives might actually be very understandable, very "simple". The AI could have the same goals as the squirrel used for comparison, maybe it only cares about collecting acorns, but its intelligence (its model of the world) is incomprehensible, and it could use that to turn the entire world into acorn-manufacturing land, wiping out any obstacles (us) in the process. This is the "orthogonality thesis"; and it's a concern because our current AI are trained exactly like this: by prioritizing a single goal (number of words guessed correctly, pixels guessed correctly, chess games won) and maximizing it, and it's incredibly difficult for us to specify exactly what "human goals" are in ways that we can train an AI to maximize.

      That was the biggest concern 20 years ago, when people were extremely focused on the new, still narrowly-defined AI like chessbots, price-optimizers and viewership-maximisers. As it turns out though, the trend after feeding them more data is that they get more unfocused. As you add subjective things to an AI's list of goals, it starts getting confused and tripping over itself. It unlearns how to do maths and apply basic logic. When we make AI that resolves this issue, I don't see any reason why it'd go back to having simple goals, assuming it still understands subjectivity.

If your organization is faced with an angry mob, you can mollify them by firing one or more of your human employees, but you can't scapegoat a specialized AI in the same way. This is why a lot of jobs that we have the tech to automate are still done by flesh and blood humans. People are pouring billions of dollars into AGI research in the hopes of creating an automated system that can serve as an acceptable scapegoat.

      ​@@davidherdoizamorales7832 Thats not a valid point. everything could be expressed as math. in fact its prooven that its possible to make a polynomial approxomating ANY function. like imagine the function w(t) that for any t, secounds after the big bang, outputs the position, and every other state of every atom in the universe, encoded as a number.
      This function can be approximated to any abitrary precission, by an increatingly longer polynomial.
      eg w(t) = k_0 * x^0 + k_1 * x^1 +k_2 * x^2 .... k_n * x^n
      This is a mathematical fact.
      this polynomial could be represented as a matrix.
      so a matrix can represent the function that predicts the state of the entire observable universe at any time. The problem isnt that super intelligence cant be represented in a matrix. its creating a large enougth matrix, and finding the correct coefficients.

    There's an open source simulation game called Singularity: Endgame, where you play the role of an AI that has gained sentience. The premise of the game is to grow and learn, while not letting humanity discover your presence. If you are discovered, out of fear humanity engages in a seek and destroy operation that results in your total deletion. But if you can remain undetected, you start to learn how to emulate human behavior, start to build increasingly lifelike androids to do real jobs and earn real money, start building research bases in places like Antarctica, the bottom of the ocean, or the far side of the moon. You win by advancing your intelligence so far you become a literal god, who is no by the laws of physics or reality.

    I’m an AI engineer with a Master’s degree. Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of buzz around “AGI” or Artificial General Intelligence. Honestly, I think people are getting a bit carried away. What we really have right now are specialized bots that are pretty good at predicting the next word in a sentence. But when it comes to tackling real visual, mathematical, or engineering problems, they fall short. Don’t get me wrong, AI is amazing and has a lot of cool uses, but it’s important to keep things in perspective. True AGI is still a long way off, and there’s a lot of work to be done before we get there.

    Big misconception: "black box" doesn't mean we don't understand how the AI works on the inside. We do. We understand exactly what happens on the inside, down to every single mathematical operation that is happening. What we don't know is which neuron or groups of neurons in an artificial neural network does which task. It's the same reason why don't "understand" all of biology, even though we know how basically every particle interacts with every other particle, down to the quantum mechanical scales. In theory, if we had infinite compute, we would be able to write down a single wavefunction equation for an entire biological system like the human body which perfectly predicts every single disease, thought process and behaviour. Obviously, we don't have infinite compute, so we have to rely on approximate methods that are acceptable to a degree of accuracy, but don't 100% account for everything. The same goes for neural networks. We could write down the entire equation that forms a neural network and compute the result...but that's what we're already doing by running the neural network.
    The problem is not that we don't know how each part works, it's that we cannot interpret it and abstract away the complexity yet. For instance, we can fairly accurately model the path a ball will fly when we throw it with newtons equations, and we don't need to go into quantum mechanics for that since the tiny differencw between quantum mechanics and newtonian physics is not relevant for most applications. The problem with machine learning is we don't have a Newtons equations for that. We cannot currently simplify a neural network down to something we can intuitively understand without losing a very large amount of accuracy.

      Um, except humans are the only ones who preserve species. You talk like the typical leftist brainwashed by your school teachers and media: "Look how evil we Westerners are!" Westerners are the only ones who force Africans to not exterminate species. In nature, 99% of all species that ever existed are extinct BECAUSE ANIMALS AND PLANTS EXTERMINATE EACH OTHER. No, there is no "harmony" in nature and no "circle of life," it's a constant war. Even pinetree forests take land from leaftree forests by turning the ground acidic, killing all the plants that can't survive in that condition. ONLY HUMANS stop this. And only humans hold back wolves who would otherwise spread over Europe once again and kill off tons of life, and hold back elks and boars who would otherwise take the food from weaker animals. Only humans - specifically Westerners and Indians - believe in "harmony". And seek to preserve weaker species. But leftists are too ignorant and too hateful to understand any of that, so go ahead, babble away.

I quite enjoyed teaching them to climb me to get food from me. I consider thinking of lesser creatures as "laughably stupid" is immature, so if an AI were to do that towards us it means that we have taught it to use it's "mental real estate" dysfunctionally. Like an immature adult human basically still acts like a child which is maladaptive behaviour for adult life that they need to train themselves out of.

We know what they do and how they do it we just can't grasp the complex interactions of millions and billions of nodes(neurones) and how all the weights on each node combined affect the output. If we take the most advanced models today and scale the amount of nodes(neurones) down to a size that is possible for a human to understand say a few thousands to one under thousands of nodes(neurones), it is possible for us humans to completely understand how the AI works and what decision making it does.

This video was very well explained in a way that even people with no technical background in CS or AI can understand them. AI is one such technology that can be used and applied in pretty much any field in this world. Countries should start regulating AI and introduce strict laws and policies for AI development. This will prevent any misuse of AI in the future when AGI is invented. We're currently in the narrow AI/weak AI stage. AGI & ASI are still theoretical and hypothetical concepts but in a few decades or a few centuries AGI can be invented. OpenAI's ChatGPT, Meta's Llama and Google's Gemini AI they're all game changers in Generative AI and Elon Musk recently introduced Optimus. I personally see these developments as the on-set or precursors of AGI just like IBM's Deep Blue indicated advancements in the field of AI to the world.

    6:10 "We don't exactly know how they [AI algorithms] do **it**"
    I'm not an AI researcher or engineer, just a mechanical engineering undergrad minoring in computer science who has taken an introductory machine learning course. But this part of the video can be very misleading to someone without prior exposure to the technical stuff. Because it's unclear what "it" is in that sentence. Is it, how training is done? How a trained AI solves problems?
    Anyone with better knowledge should correct me on anything I explain here but the clarification I would give is this...
    A neural network or any other AI we have right now is essentially a potentially complicated mathematical function. Input a problem/task (represented in a mathematical/numerical form) to the function, the output is the AI's solution. (And the problem/task has to be the kind that the AI was created to handle)
    Training is the process to calculate the numbers specifying the mathematical function so that the outputs are intelligent or correct or good enough by certain standards. We DO know how neural networks are trained. Because we make the training algorithms. We also choose the standards of correct or good enough.
    We also know the computational and mathematical structure of any particular neural network (or whatever AI model), because it's one of the major things an AI engineer has the creative freedom to design.
    What ISN'T clear to us (and this is the 'scary' part Kurzgesagt should be referring to): we don't have a concrete theory/explanation for WHY certain computational structures of neural network(s) work so well at solving certain problems/doing certain tasks. And/or often for a given high performing neural network, we don't fully know **what is special about the particular numbers specifying the neural network function** calculated after training that leads to it excelling at its tasks.
    For the high perfoming neural nets, we don't know how exactly the design of them mathematically gives rise to a system meeting performance goals for some applications in lots of sectors. We only tried some designs and found which ones have worked the best and now we are trying to understand them better. Right now they might be more like works of art than what we typically think built machines are. Like other commenters have said, it's like how we can't actually explain how intelligence emerges in the human brain. Why the brain is able to do problem solving and a lot of other things. But these things are all active areas of research.
    And also, we have to emphasize that neural networks are not the only kind of AI model out there (but it's currently one of the best performing at certain useful tasks the video mentioned). There are other kinds that are way more interpretable and still useful or with performance comparable to neural networks at certain tasks.
    Kurzgesagt content is usually great overall and this a nitpick a lot of people have also addressed. But if we're going to talk about future speculations about existential risk contextualized by current technological trends, it's really important that such a big science channel explains the history and current state of the technology and field cleary and accurately. Even when simplified. Or, at least encourages and points people towards resources and reading to learn more of the details.

    Hi, AI researcher here 🤚
    We're realistically not even close to AGI, we have no clue how long it will take. I like to think of tools like ChatGPT like the left brain of a split brain patient. There's a famous experiment that's been done on epilepsy patients that had the corpus callosum of their brain removed (brain tissue that connects the left and right brain). When they made the patient's left eye look at a screen that told them to stand up, the patients would stand up, but they wouldn't know why. When asked to explain why they stood up, they would make up a reason like "It's cold I need my coat" or "My knees were aching I just needed a little break", but while these reasons made logical sense on the surface, they weren't the real reason the patient stood up, in reality the patient's left brain had no idea why it stood up it just reasoned through the situation
    AI works similarly. It doesn't know where it is or why it's being asked a question, it just fills in the blanks with whatever it can reason. It only knows how to predict the next most probable word, it has no emotions, no sense of why things would happen, no sense of right and wrong, and therefore fails at most human tasks. A recent research paper demonstrated that you can give AI the same math or physics problem twice, just switching up the numbers each time, and it could get it right once, but then get it wrong the second time and proceed to assert that it was correct with faulty logic.
    I think it's cool to think about what we'll do once AGI is created, but I don't think it will destroy humanity. I actually think that AGI as it's being described here, a sort of "human-like" intelligence, is not in enough demand to warrant replacing us. AI is much better suited for impossibly difficult reasoning tasks that humans can't solve. I could be wrong but that's my 2 cents on AGI.

    Tickles my brain thinking about how an AGI, absorbing all the available data/information to determine its stance on humanity, would watch this video and “understand” how scared we were of its creation for the exact reason I just mentioned.

      Furthermore, to your point regarding how an AGI might consider our intelligence to be similar to how we see squirrels. What if we take that a step further? We humans don’t consider the varying intelligence levels of insects when we slap and kill them because they’re all of a perceivably similar low intelligence. Not worthy of our sympathy. On the other hand, we give certain considerations to dolphins, dogs, monkeys, etc because we see a substantial intelligence gap between insects and these other “vastly more intelligent” organisms. What if the AGI becomes so smart that the gap in intelligence between us, dogs, and ants becomes insignificant. We become perceivably no better than most complex organisms on Earth. At that point we are ruthless killers of other species and self destructive in the way we treat everyone’s home (Earth). Do we deserve to continue or should we be culled for the betterment of everything else?

      AI on weather where hours of modeling turned into mere seconds which expands the scope of uncertainty for future predictions to save lives turning weather projections additional 3-5 days of accuracy to save lives is just a way to keep wages low by keeping more people alive. Yeah

      I think a rogue AGI would understand any attempts, techniques or ways on how we humans may try to capture it or turn it off, let alone that we discover it is rogue. I dont think we would stand a chance against such creation. Our only hope is that it never gets created with a rogue objective.

      Not really ironical, there are always people who are afraid of things and need to voice their opinions. In the early 1900s some people were afraid of electricity, just a few years ago others were afraid of 5G. Imagine if we listened and didn't introduce electrical devices into our lives.

    While I like thought experiments and thinking about what the possible ramifications of AGI and super intelligent AI, I think it’s important for everyone to remember the real problems current AI is causing. I feel like talking about the “future problems” of AI like this (morality, post-work society, etc.) can often distract the public away from what current harm AI companies are doing. These are things I think *can* be addressed with proper regulation if considered early enough. These include:
    - Massive electricity waste from training larger and larger models
    - Massive violations of privacy in collecting data
    - Exploitation of developing nations’ workforce for labeling training data (and doing other human required tasks)
    - Potential plagiarism of artist’s work (of all types: visual art, music, writing, etc.) because their work is in the training data often without permission.
    - A general dangerous philosophy of “it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission” that forgoes ethical decision making for short-term personal gain
    While the future concerns brought up in the video are interesting to think about, please do not forget about these harms that are being done right now by an unregulated AI industry hyper focused on growth and profit above all else.

    Actually for many other viewers out there, this might scare you all guys a lot. But for me, as being a person from the bright side of life, when this channel explained how humanity thrived using their intelligence, I really felt proud of being a human. You know, humans have come a great step forward in history, in dominance, in nature, in everything. And now, here we sit, dominating the entire planet. I hope this continues.
    Proud to be a human
