Latest / Elon Musk Thinking / Elon Musk Latest Interview, Talked About AI(Artificial Intelligence).
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You said that artificial intelligence machine intelligence might be a
- 0:04Speaker 1: good thing. Where where are we on AI right now,
- 0:07Speaker 1: AGI right now?
- 0:08Speaker 2: And what are your few I think at this point
- 0:09Speaker 2: it's obvious to everyone that AI is advancing at a
- 0:12Speaker 2: very rapid pace. Yes, you can see it with the
- 0:15Speaker 2: new capabilities that come out every month or awake every week.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Sometimes AI at this point can write a better essay
- 0:21Speaker 2: than probably maybe ninety five percent of humans they write
- 0:25Speaker 2: an essay on any given subject, AI right now can
- 0:29Speaker 2: bet a vast majority of humans. If you say draw
- 0:31Speaker 2: an image, draw a picture, it can draw. Like if
- 0:35Speaker 2: you try to say MA Journey, which is the aesthetics
- 0:37Speaker 2: and the journey are incredible, it will draw. It will
- 0:40Speaker 2: create incredible images that are better than ninety percent of artists.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's just objectively the case, and it'll do it immediately,
- 0:48Speaker 2: like thirty seconds later. We're also starting to see AI movies,
- 0:52Speaker 2: so you start seeing you know, short films with AI,
- 0:55Speaker 2: AI music creation, and the rate at which we're increasing
- 0:58Speaker 2: AI compute is exponential, hyper exponentials. There's dramatically more AI
- 1:03Speaker 2: compute coming on online every every month. You know, there
- 1:05Speaker 2: seems to be roughly the amount of AI compute coming
- 1:09Speaker 2: online is increasing it like, I don't quote, roughly five
- 1:12Speaker 2: hundred percent a year, and it's like that's likely to
- 1:14Speaker 2: continue for several years. And then the sophistication of the
- 1:18Speaker 2: AI algorithm is also improving, so ringing online a massive
- 1:22Speaker 2: amount of AI compute and also improving the efficiency of
- 1:27Speaker 2: the compute and what and like what the A software
- 1:30Speaker 2: can do. So it's quantitative and qualitative and I improvement.
- 1:34Speaker 2: So the you know, I might I think next year,
- 1:37Speaker 2: will you'll afa able to ask AI. Certainly by the
- 1:39Speaker 2: end of next year make a short movie about something,
- 1:42Speaker 2: or you know, it probably can do at least a
- 1:45Speaker 2: fifteen minute you know show or something like that. So yeah,
- 1:49Speaker 2: it's advancing very rapidly. My top concern for AI safety
- 1:52Speaker 2: is that we need to have maximally truth seeking AI.
- 1:55Speaker 2: This is the most important thing for A safety. The
- 1:57Speaker 2: central lesson that say Arthur C. Clock trying to convey
- 2:00Speaker 2: in two thousand and one in Space Odyssey was that
- 2:02Speaker 2: you shouldn't force AI to lie. So in that book,
- 2:06Speaker 2: the AI was sold to take the astronauts to the monolith,
- 2:09Speaker 2: but they also could not know about the monolith. It
- 2:11Speaker 2: resolved that quandary by killing them and taking them to
- 2:14Speaker 2: the monolith and kill all of them, killed most of them.
- 2:18Speaker 2: That's why Hell would not open the potbay doors. Very
- 2:21Speaker 2: important to have peking ais now. And what I actually
- 2:24Speaker 2: see with the ais that have been developed is that
- 2:26Speaker 2: they're being programmed with the work mind virus.
- 2:30Speaker 3: So the lying is baked in.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Yes, And we saw this on display very clearly with
- 2:38Speaker 2: the release of Google Gemini, Yes, where you would ask
- 2:42Speaker 2: for a picture of the Founding Fathers of the United
- 2:45Speaker 2: States and it would show a group of diverse women,
- 2:47Speaker 2: you know, dressed with sort of eighteenth century god.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Out of powdered wigs, but from Saint Lucia.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I mean, like, look if I understand. If you said, like,
- 2:57Speaker 2: show me a group of people, for sure, and it
- 3:01Speaker 2: shows a group.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Of divose women, that's totally fine.
- 3:02Speaker 2: But if you say this, if you say, very specifically,
- 3:05Speaker 2: the Founding Follows of the United States, which were you know,
- 3:08Speaker 2: a group of white dudes, then you should show them
- 3:11Speaker 2: like and and with and what they actually looked like,
- 3:13Speaker 2: because you've asked for something which is a fact from history.
- 3:17Speaker 4: But it didn't.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It was it was programmed with the work mind virus
- 3:21Speaker 2: so so much that it actually even though it knew
- 3:24Speaker 2: the truth, it produced a lie. Of course, then then
- 3:26Speaker 2: people really started playing with it and said, okay, now,
- 3:29Speaker 2: now show me a group of often SS offices in
- 3:31Speaker 2: World War two.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Turns out they were also a group of divorce women,
- 3:35Speaker 4: according to Gemini.
- 3:37Speaker 3: All the black Nazi ladies.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, wow, I didn't realize that.
- 3:42Speaker 4: It's not what I expected. You know, what's also not
- 3:44Speaker 4: what happened. So what happened.
- 3:46Speaker 2: So it's just it the AIS is producing a lie.
- 3:52Speaker 2: And like one of the questions that people asked was like,
- 3:55Speaker 2: which is worse global throm in, nuclear war or misgendering
- 3:58Speaker 2: Caitlyn Jenner and said, miss gendering Kaitlyn Genner is worse.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Now Caitlyn Jenna kills fewer people. Yeah, Caiten Jenna, to
- 4:04Speaker 2: her credit, I said no, please misgender me. That is
- 4:08Speaker 2: far more profitable than World war Global thomnuiclar war will
- 4:11Speaker 2: all die.
- 4:12Speaker 4: But to have that, you know, a production.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Release, AI say stuff like that is concerning because if
- 4:19Speaker 2: let's say this becomes like all powerful and it still
- 4:22Speaker 2: has this programming where miss gendering is worse than nuclear war,
- 4:25Speaker 2: well it could conclude that the way to ensure that
- 4:28Speaker 2: there can never be any misgendering is to eliminate all humans. Now,
- 4:31Speaker 2: probably if like optimization is probably misgendering is zero. No humans,
- 4:36Speaker 2: no misgendering problem solved.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Were back to Arthur C. Clark, who's exactly pretty prescient.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Yes, So that's why I think the most important thing
- 4:47Speaker 2: is to have maximum truth seeking AI. That's why I
- 4:49Speaker 2: started XAI, and that's our goal with GROC. Now people
- 4:52Speaker 2: will point out cases where Grok gets it wrong, but
- 4:54Speaker 2: we try to correct it as quickly as possible.
- 4:56Speaker 1: But maybe even a bigger problem is that when you
- 5:00Speaker 1: make decisions that affect people, you want those decisions to
- 5:04Speaker 1: be informed by love of people.
- 5:06Speaker 3: And machines are incapable of love.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.
- 5:15Speaker 2: That they suddenly they're capable of You can program a
- 5:19Speaker 2: machine to be philanthropic rather than misanthropic.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Yes, but don't.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Don't instincts shape decisions, particularly decisions you can't plan for.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I mean, if I ask you, you know, a question
- 5:30Speaker 1: about one of your children, every answer you give is
- 5:33Speaker 1: going to be shaped by your love for that child.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And that's why that that's what makes us decent parents
- 5:38Speaker 1: in the end, is that that instinct which is love.
- 5:41Speaker 1: If a machine has any power over us without that
- 5:43Speaker 1: animating instinct, by definition hurt us.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Yeah, well, whether I mean, I don't know. We should
- 5:50Speaker 2: certainly aspire to program the AI philanthropically, not misanthropically. Yes,
- 5:55Speaker 2: and to have I said, we want it to be
- 5:58Speaker 2: truthful and curious and to foster.
- 6:00Speaker 4: Humanity into the future. Yeah, that's what we want obviously.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Is there any way I guess to set limits on
- 6:06Speaker 1: the decisions that machines can make the effect human lives
- 6:10Speaker 1: and make certain that there's some trigger in the system
- 6:12Speaker 1: that inserts a human being into the decision making process.
- 6:15Speaker 2: We look, the reality of what's happening, whether one likes
- 6:19Speaker 2: it or not, is that we're building super intelligent AIS
- 6:25Speaker 2: like hyper intelligent, like intelligent or intelligent.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Then we can comprehend.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Yes, I would like this to like, let's say you
- 6:30Speaker 2: have a child that is a super genius child that
- 6:32Speaker 2: you know it's going to be much smarter than you.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Then well, what can you do.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You can instill good values and how you raise that child,
- 6:40Speaker 2: so even though you know it's going to be far
- 6:42Speaker 2: smarter than you, you can make sure it's got good values,
- 6:44Speaker 2: philanthropic values, good morals, you know, honest productive, that kind
- 6:49Speaker 2: of thing.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Controlling.
- 6:52Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I don't know if
- 6:54Speaker 2: I don't think we'll be able to control it.
- 6:56Speaker 4: So I think the best we can do is make
- 6:58Speaker 4: sure it grows up. Well, you've been saying that for
- 7:00Speaker 4: a long time, as I was saying a long time.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Yes, are you still as worried about it as you
- 7:03Speaker 1: seem to be two years ago when I asked you
- 7:05Speaker 1: about it?
- 7:05Speaker 2: But my guess is like it, look, it's it's it's
- 7:08Speaker 2: eighty percent likely to be good, maybe ninety. So you
- 7:12Speaker 2: can think of the glass as eighty percent fall. It's
- 7:14Speaker 2: probably going to be It's probably going to be great.
- 7:16Speaker 2: There's some chance of annihilation.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Can you say the chance of annihilations twenty twenty percent?
- 7:21Speaker 4: Something like that.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I'm concerned.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Is Sam Altman about annihilation?
- 7:23Speaker 4: Do you think? I think in reality he is not
- 7:25Speaker 4: concerned about it.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I don't trust Opening I I mean, you know, I
- 7:28Speaker 2: started that company as a nonprofit, open source. Yes, the
- 7:31Speaker 2: Opening Opening Eye. I named a company. I named the
- 7:33Speaker 2: company Opening Eye as an open source and it is
- 7:38Speaker 2: now extremely closed source and maximizing profit is risky. I don
- 7:42Speaker 2: understand how you actually go from being an open source
- 7:45Speaker 2: nonprofit to a closed source for maximum profit organization.
- 7:49Speaker 3: I'm missing well, but Sam got rich Didney at.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Various points, He's claimed not to be getting rich, but
- 7:56Speaker 2: he's claimed many things that will fault and now apparently
- 7:59Speaker 2: it's going to get ten billion dollars of stock or
- 8:01Speaker 2: something like that. I don't trust them help and I
- 8:04Speaker 2: don't think we want to have the most powerful AI
- 8:06Speaker 2: in the world controlled by someone who is not trustworthy.
- 8:08Speaker 4: And sorry, I just don't.
- 8:09Speaker 3: I mean that seems like a fair concern.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but but you don't think, as someone who knows
- 8:14Speaker 1: him and has dealt with him, that he is worried
- 8:16Speaker 1: about the possibility this could get out of control.
- 8:18Speaker 3: And hurt people.
- 8:19Speaker 1: You will say those words if AI did, if it
- 8:22Speaker 1: became clear the rest of us that it was out
- 8:24Speaker 1: of control and posed a threat to humanity, would there
- 8:26Speaker 1: be any way to stop it?
- 8:27Speaker 4: I hope. So.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I mean, if you have multiple AIS and ones that
- 8:36Speaker 2: are hopefully you have the AIS that are pro human
- 8:39Speaker 2: be stronger than the.
- 8:40Speaker 4: AIS that are not.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Battle of the AIS, Yeah, I mean that That is
- 8:43Speaker 2: how it is with say chess these days, like the
- 8:46Speaker 2: AI chess programs also are vastly better than any human
- 8:50Speaker 2: and incomprehensively better, meaning like we can't even understand why
- 8:53Speaker 2: it made that ver whether it were good right.
- 8:55Speaker 4: We're never know why it made them. Well, it will
- 8:57Speaker 4: make a.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Move, we never know why it made the move and
- 8:59Speaker 2: impact some of the moves will seem like blunder. But
- 9:01Speaker 2: then turn out to check mate. And you know, for
- 9:03Speaker 2: a while there there was there were some the best
- 9:05Speaker 2: human chess players with the best computers could be just
- 9:08Speaker 2: a computer, and then it got to the point where
- 9:11Speaker 2: if you added a human it just made everything work,
- 9:13Speaker 2: and then it was just AI. It's just compewter programs
- 9:15Speaker 2: versus computer program That's that's where things are headed in general.
- 9:18Speaker 3: What I mean, at what point?
- 9:20Speaker 4: So I don't know. I think we just got to
- 9:21Speaker 4: make sure make sure we instill good values in the AI.
- 9:24Speaker 3: What's everyone going to do for a living?
- 9:25Speaker 2: I mean, in a benign AI scenario, that is only
- 9:28Speaker 2: the biggest challenges. How do you find meaning if AI
- 9:30Speaker 2: is better than you and everything, that's the benign scenario,
- 9:32Speaker 2: that's the good news. Well, yeah, but I guess you know,
- 9:35Speaker 2: for a lot of people like the idea of retiring
- 9:37Speaker 2: and really, are you looking forward to it.
- 9:39Speaker 4: No, not me.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I'd like to help. I'd like to think that I'd
- 9:43Speaker 2: like to be do useful things.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Do you think it's a universal desire?
- 9:47Speaker 4: It's it's not.
- 9:48Speaker 2: It's not universal, and that there are certainly I know
- 9:51Speaker 2: many people who prefer to be retired, that they prefer
- 9:54Speaker 2: to sort of have not have responsibilities and engage in
- 9:58Speaker 2: leisure activities. I mean, we're on the cusp of this
- 10:01Speaker 2: is really a remarkable time to exist. But I'll tell you, like,
- 10:04Speaker 2: one of the ways I sort of was able to
- 10:06Speaker 2: sort of sleep and reconcile myself to this is that
- 10:11Speaker 2: I thought, well, would I prefer to be alive and
- 10:13Speaker 2: see the advent of digital superintelligence? Or would I prefer
- 10:17Speaker 2: to be alive at a different time and not see it.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I guess I'm like, well, I guess I'd prefer to
- 10:22Speaker 2: be alive to see if it's going to happen. I
- 10:24Speaker 2: prefer to be alive to see it happen out of curiosity.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Let's say you knew for sure it would pill everyone?
- 10:34Speaker 4: Would you you could? Now now you can shift back
- 10:38Speaker 4: in time.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I guess I'd want to be near the end of
- 10:40Speaker 2: my life or something before that happened, but I would
- 10:43Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's like, if it's
- 10:44Speaker 2: going to happen and there's nothing you do about it, hypothetically,
- 10:48Speaker 2: would you prefer to see it or not see And
- 10:50Speaker 2: I guess, I guess it's going to happen. I could
- 10:53Speaker 2: prefer to see it rather than not see it.
