James Barrat says Artificial Intelligence has huge commercial potential and reckless emergent properties, which is shaking everybody up. When we release a new drug, the FDA checks it out— a new airplane, the FAA has to approve it. For A.I., we have nothing. There are many benefits to A.I. but also harrowing risks. One day we're playing with ChatGPT and the next we're sharing the planet with something that is thousands or millions of times smarter than us and we don't know how to share the planet with something smarter. Barrat warns we have to save ourselves. We need government regulation. We don't want the power or our fate in the hands of 5 CEO's all of whom have getaway safe houses in the desert, a place to escape or try to escape if everything hits the fan.

James Barrat A.I. Intelligence Live At 7pm P.S.T. Time Magazine named author, speaker, and filmmaker James Barrat one of 5 Very Smart People Who Think Artificial Intelligence Could Bring the Apocalypse due to his groundbreaking nonfiction book, Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era. Intelligence, Barrat contends, not strength or speed, is the superpower that enables humans to steer the future. Scientists around the world are developing machines whose intelligence grows exponentially, and will someday dwarf our own. Have we already plunged into an unwinnable intelligence race with the future of humanity at stake? Why have Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking raised the alarm about the dangers of artificial intelligence? It began with Our Final Invention (an Amazon #1 Bestseller and 2013 Huffington Post Definitive Tech Book) and Barrat's quest to engage the world in the most important conversation of our time.

Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to? In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail―human-level intelligence. Once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine.   Grab your copy of James' book, Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era, on Amazon at https://amzn.to/33Tbewm Visit http://www.jamesbarrat.com to learn more and connect with James Learn about and support AI advocacy at https://futureoflife.org and https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk and https://intelligence.org   Connect with Curiosityness...

This is not the take on artificial intelligence (AI) that you’re going to find in the popular media or on corporate websites. Most everyone is thrilled about what AI can and might do someday soon. Self-driving cars, remotely controlled delivery vehicles, homes that clean and restock themselves automatically, medical technologies that can predict (and prevent) our every illness—these are the tip of the iceberg, and for the companies that will manufacture and control them, they can’t get here soon enough. But there is a dark side. My guest this episode is James Barrat, futurist, filmmaker and author of AI: Our Final Invention. With a title like that, you know the news he brings is not good. Among other things, James and I talked about the “intelligence explosion”—the point at which a computer is able to replicate itself better than human beings can. That’s not so far in the future, James says, but for some reason its seen by very few as a clear and present danger.   How far away are we from the intelligence explosion? Ten years? Fifty years? Three quarters of a century? As with all things tech, there’s the prospect of acceleration. And in the case of AI, that means we humans may not be ready. Are we looking at a handover or a takeover?: In these times of rampant corporate competition and geopolitical intrigue, what hope can we have for agreeing on the ground rules for AI development and deployment? As always, thanks for listening.

My friend James Barrat returns to the WWI Podcast to give us an update on his outlook for the future of Artificial Intelligence. Has his typical technological pessimism eased since publishing his book "Our Final Invention" back in 2013 or has AI taken a turn for the worse? James tells a cautionary tale about AI and rightly so. Although we may not face kill-bots from the future, what's more concerning are the nefarious actions of the humans behind the technology. We've already seen our personal data traded and sold as a commodity which has undoubtedly manipulated world events. James has been one of my favorite guests on the show because he has great insight into a technology that many have dismissed as simply a sci-fi boogieman. What we have witnessed over the past decade has been extraordinary and what we will witness in the next decade may alter human the human race for eternity.  Follow James on Twitter and check out his book Our Final Invention (you won't regret it).
