Artificial intelligence: A savior or the reason for human extinction? – Nick Boström

“Alexander Pärleros”

The philosopher and professor Nick Boström is one of the world’s leading experts when it comes to artificial intelligence, neuroscience and human enhancements. He’s been working at Oxford University for many years, he’s a TED speaker, he’s the author behind over 200 publications and books, and he’s been on “Foreign Policy’s Top 100 Global Thinkers” list twice.

Together we talk about the future of artificial intelligence and what impact it will have on our life. Nick shares his perspectives if AI and superintelligence fundamentally will change our societies for the better, or be the reason for human extinction. We also discuss the possibilities for AI to have a soul and when we might be able to upload our minds in a computer – in order to live forever.

  2. Såg fram emot att få höra honom snack svenska. Men aja, förstår såklart om det är så att han är mer bekväm med att ta det på engelska. Hörde honom som sommarpratare för några år sedan dock

  3. It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with only primary consciousness will probably have to come first.

    What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing.

    I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order.

    My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

  4. Nick jag gillade när du körde med öppna kort förut om A.I/AGI innan dom skrämde dig till att tystnad/optimism hahah du är klockren MEN jag förstår varför du tonade ner dina varningar och allvaret i utvecklingen. TACK VÄLDIGT FIN PODD BOYS!
