What If We Build Something We Can't Control?

What happens if we build something smarter than us and we can't control what it does next? In this episode, Grace breaks down the alignment problem: one of the most important and least talked about risks in AI. This episode, like all the others is for beginners. Talking through the risks in a clear, honest explanation. This episode will discuss why the people who built this technology are really worried and why it concerns to all of us right now. Covering the paperclip maximiser thought experiment, Geoffrey Hinton's warnings, and why being intelligent doesn't automatically mean being safe. Hosted on Acast.
