There is no question that AI could – and already does – bring immeasurable benefits to society at large, from labour saving in process-driven applications to producing stunning results in medical diagnoses that far surpass the capabilities of any one human being. On the other hand, there is a fear amongst the general public, based on both real and imagined risks and dangers, with a sprinkling of doom-laden visions, that an AI-fuelled future would be a bad thing.
- Where does the truth lie between these very opposing views?
- What are the real risks we should be taking measures to control?
- How do we responsibly manage expectations about the anticipated changes?
TDL brought together a group of distinguished scientists and philosophers to address these very questions, who to start the discussion presented the following material:
Can advanced AI be both powerful and “aligned”? – Simon Friederich
Why philosophy? – Nikil Mukerji
