Why AI's Future May Emerge Beyond Human Planning

I also think that it's impossible

o-on certain

philosophical grounds to simply subscribe to

this

anthropomorphic,

anthropomorphic future. It does-doesn't make sense.

It just shows a certain

lack of understanding about what people mean by super intelligence,

about

w-what robotics promises. And I think it's

really

crucial on the side of AI

how much that has been

vindicated in the sense that all the, all the room

in the history of artificial intelligence has come

from the surrender

of

top-down planification type models of what you're trying to do to

these kind of emergent black box,

evolutionary types of thinking. You know, deep learning,

the whole point of that is you don't know what the hell the thing

is doing, but you

set up an environment where it can, through trial and error,

um,

develop itself, you know, on the model of the

nervous system. Um, and

y-y-yeah, again, I have absolute confidence that,

that all the

kind of... I think we're out of the gate now in the

sense that I think

the amount of time where

people could think that they were gonna be able to

plan their way into the future of AI has just surely

passed because it's like

they don't have that

edge to even lead to that illusion now.

I mean, it's really getting to the point where

its competence to,

um, project its own future is as

powerful as anything that we can

bring to bear.
