On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Roman Yampolskiy, author of ‘AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable’ and an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Louisville. He discusses what makes AI different from AGI, the ‘AI control problem’, the high likelihood of Artificial Intelligence becoming out of control, why AI security parameters will not be enough to contain Artificial General Intelligence, why humans cannot even comprehend the kinds of threats AI could pose, the coming danger of AI increasingly becoming a part of warfare, why advanced Artificial Intelligence will pose a threat to humans no matter who builds it, the danger of AI replacing labor and ending economics as we know it, the race among big tech companies to create the ‘best’ AI while they have no concrete plan for controlling their creation, and much more.
