  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Natalie. I am so happy because
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I think this AI thing has gotten out of control.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: And the industry leaders tried to take it on. They
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: haven't done well. World leaders tried to take it on.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: They haven't done well. Thank God the brainiacs at the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: New York City Council are finally tackling this issue. And
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: you talk to New Yorkers about that. They must be thrilled.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I love the sarcasm that is just seeping from you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: right now. Yes, look, major.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Tech companies are preparing to testify at the New York
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: City Council hearing about artificial intelligence attacks. Today, the hearing
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: follows an outpouring of public concern over just how powerful
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: AI is and is becoming, with industry insiders sounding the
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: alarm last month, one of which saying AI could kill
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: all humans in the next decade, if you guys remember
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: that headline. That was pretty striking. We we did stories
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: in connection to that, too.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: So President Trump has dismissed these concerns.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: But New Yorkers looking at the technology with a more
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: critical mind.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's a slippery slope. I think it's useful
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in certain in certain areas. And I think it's harmful
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in certain areas. I mean, I've used that GPT for
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: like right like assistance to write like. emails for work and.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Well, on one hand, I understand it's really convenient. It's
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: like how we used Google back then with just searching
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: things up and it gives you a summary and everything.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: But what I don't like about it is replacing your
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: thinking process.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Actually, anything that Donald Trump is pushing or is into,
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: I'm totally against because everything that he's against represents sort
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: of like me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: And you are biased. The president has called it superintelligence, SI.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: Haven't you gotten the memo on that?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: We're moving into it right now, Curtis. I love this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: The president has gone as far.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Ready?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: My next line in my little script that's now gone awry, everybody.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: The president has gone as far as attempting to rebrand
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: artificial intelligence. I love that it's not renaming. He's rebranding it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: That's the new thing that people do. Signing an executive
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: order mandating the federal government stop referring to it as
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: artificial intelligence and start calling it super intelligence. The president
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: had said artificial made it sound fake, but there's no
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: shortage of reaction from people who are skeptical, skeptical.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Who are wary of the technology?
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: That seems very disturbing to me. And, you know, I'm
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: concerned for the people of the world, you know. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: makes it inhumane because it could get through the wrong hands,
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: you know. There's different type of people around the world.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: Some are doing it for good, but some are doing
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: it for bad.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't hear that, but I'm not surprised either.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: There's no point in doing so. Like, it's not super
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: in any way. The things it does are all accumulated
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: from human knowledge. Like, we're clearly capable of doing it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Why are we naming it super when it's not? It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: just accumulating all of the things we already did.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: I guess not a Trump crowd down there today.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Really, you're in New York. It's not even a mixed
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: bag sometimes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Like when somebody starts talking about support for Trump, I'm like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: keep going.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: We don't get this a lot. We got to get
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: both sides as much as we can.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Now, the city council says it will use today to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: focus on the risks of AI with members expected to
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: introduce a series of bills. One would include a requirement
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: to have a human kill switch that could shut down
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: AI systems. If it gets out of control or even
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: give New Yorkers the right to sue certain companies for
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: specific harms.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And as debate swells, the question really becomes, should we
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: be afraid of AI? That's a good question. I don't
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: know that I can answer it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I would say that I'm generally afraid of things I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: don't understand that seem to have a lot of prevalence
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: in society.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You should be.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: I was reading an article about how they copied a
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: man's voice and opened his house door and and his
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: kids didn't know, and they robbed his entire house. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: would never want that. I didn't grow up like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, technology does advance, but it gives you no
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: sort of privacy. It could put you in any situation.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: It could put you in situations financially. I'm just not
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: really interested in it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: So let me get this straight. The city council that
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: doesn't even have AI, actual intelligence... is going to try
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: to figure out this complicated issue. The young lady made
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: a very good explanation, you know, the problem. They wouldn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: even be able to understand what that woman was talking about.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that maybe you need to show up
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and teach them what actual intelligence is.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I like that. That was a good line.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Speaking of actual intelligence, say this word one more time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Skeptical.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I can't do that. I was like trying to figure
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: it out. Gosh, couldn't get it out this morning. It's Monday.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: That was quick to come up with wary, though. I know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: That was very good. Thank you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: Well, Natalie, Megaliori, we'll be back with us same time,
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: same place tomorrow at 7.50.
