Emergency Episode: Ex-Google Officer Finally Speaks Out on the Dangers of AI! – Mo Gawdat | E252 , retrieved 1 October 2023
Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and
Google X under Gawdat was DEEPLY invested in AI and Quantum Computing. The intersection of which is where all the SERIOUS concerns come from. The AI dilemma is reshaping our future whether you’re in favor of it or not. The question is, are we even close to being prepared for humanity’s collision with artificial intelligence? Then again, the style of ‘Scary Smart’ is self-consciously informal because, as Gawdat tells us in the passage detailing the evolution of human intelligence, “spoken and written language in words and maths” is a “killer app.” The other question I get on the topic is that how does the presence of AI contradict the concept of God for those who believe in God? I think the parameters continue to remain the same. So, the reality is that AI was created within a world that is created, or within a world that existed. So, the rules that created that world in which you’ve created, worlds will basically be subjected to the same assumptions. So, could AI be like a God? Yes. If you believe there is a God, then that God still exists on top of AI, if you don’t, then you’ve never had that argument anyway. And I think that’s an interesting philosophical contemplation to go through.
Hey!
When we ask computers to communicate, at first they communicate like we tell them, but if they're intelligent enough, they'll start to say, ‘that's too slow.’” At the same time, encourage AI that is good for humanity. Use it more. Talk about it. Share it with others and make it clear that you welcome these forms of AI into your life. Encourage the use of self-driving cars, they make humans safer. Use translation and communication tools, they bring us closer together. Post about every positive, friendly, healthy use of AI you find, to make others aware of it.
Book review: ‘Scary Smart’ by Mo Gawdat | E+T Magazine
Scary Smart explores the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to upend (and perhaps even end) life as we know it. I honestly can’t tell you if this is because Mr. Gawdat is trying to simplify immensely complex topics and get down to the crux of the problem for every type of reader.Because the cost of generating, of creating an iPhone, if you’re as intelligent as life itself, is almost nil. You can create an iPhone from nanoparticles or from its basic constituents with solar energy at no cost at all if you’ve created the robots that can create it. Is that a possible scenario? Yes, that’s also a possible scenario. The difference between them, however, is what we are going to do. And the biggest mistake, the biggest miss is that we can enslave AI. So, you started your questions with the discussions that are happening to ensure that we are in a good place. And the discussions are still firmly anchored in the arrogance of humanity, which is discussions around regulation and something that in computer science we call the control problem. I can argue for 200 technical reasons why the control problem is not going to be resolved, as optimistically as the scientists will say. I can argue for business problems and capitalist problems.

AI is coming. We can’t prevent it but we can make sure it is put on the right path in its infancy. We should start a movement, but not one that attempts to ban it [. . .] nor tries to control it [. . .]. Instead, we can support those who create AI for good and expose the negative impacts of those who task AI to do any form of evil. Register our support for good and our disagreement with evil so widely that the smart ones (by smart ones I mean, of course, the machines, not the politicians and business leaders) unmistakably understand our collective human intention to be good. How do you do that? It’s simple. There wasn’t much depth into topics: yes AI could be good or bad and it’s there in all the cliche ways you would expect. Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predict outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong and cause harm? Mo Gawdat is the former chief business officer for Google X and has built a monumental career in the tech industry working with the biggest names to reshape and reimagine the world as we know it. From IBM to Microsoft, Mo has lived at the cutting edge of technology and has taken a strong stance that AI is a bigger threat to humanity than global warming.Mo draws on his vast experience in the technology industry to explain the workings of AI and its potential impact on our lives. He argues that, as humans, we have a choice regarding AI, either embrace it and try to shape its development in a positive direction or avoid it altogether. However, the latter is not feasible since Pandora's box of AI has already been opened. There will always be those seeking to use it to further their financial gain. Including regulating our environment and economy and everything else computers currently do, and a whole lot more that we simply can’t predict, because we won’t be the ones inventing it or even making it anymore.
