If you haven't stayed up three nights being anxious about ai

If you haven't an extential crisis about it

You probably haven't really experienced ai

It is a weird thing

What's it mean to be human

What's it mean to think what would i do for a living

What will my kids do

What does it mean that is better than me at some of this stuff is this real or is an illusion

Nobody action knows where ai is heading right now and how good it's going to get

But we shouldn't feel like we don't have control over how ai is used as managers and leaders

You get to make these choices about how to deploy these systems to increase human flourishing as individuals

We get to decide how to be the human

Who uses these systems

Well

Ai is here to stay

That is something

That you get to make a decision about how you want to handle and to learn to work with

And learn to thrive with

Rather than to just be scared of i meet themi like a professor

The word in school of the university pennsylvania

Where i studied innovation entrepreneurr ship and artiicial intelligence and the author book coo intelligence

Living at working with a eye artificial intelligence about prediction

Basically ai is a very fancy auto complete for a long time

That was about numerical prediction and doing so of complex algorithms of math

So that netflix could recommend a show for you to watch

Amazon could figure where where decide this next warehouse or testha fifiure ure how to use data to make sure

Its cars were driving automatically the thing

That these systems were bad of predicting was the next word in the sentence

So if your sentence ended with word filed it don't know wheyou're filing your taxes of filing your nails

What happened that was different

Was the innovation of the large language model in two thousand and seventeen a breakthrough paper call the tensions all you need outlined a new kind of ai call the transform with attention mechanism that basically let the ai pay attention it to not just the final word in the sentence

But the entire context

The sentence

The paragraph

The page and so on large language models work by taking huge amounts of information like all the data of the internet

There a lot of hariry potter fan fiction for example

Because that's what the internet contains and based on all of us data

The ai go through

Through process called pretraining

And this is that really expensive part that only a few companies the world can do

And during that time the air learns relationships between words or parts of words called tokens

So it learns that key

We and strawberry cloclosely related

But theok and potato are not closely related

Ted they learns across thousands dimensions that that llthat dimenmension space

We can understand that it didn't do predictions tions it turns out

Ununexpectively

When large language models get big enough

They also do all kinds of other things

We didn't expect it

Thedidn't expect in regood in medicine

But they're actually quite good and be doctors and many circumstances that it didn't expect in regood at creativity

But they can generate ideas better than most humans can

And so they're general purpose models

They do many different things aa interesting ly gpt doesn't just stand for the gpt and chat gpt

It also stand for general purpose technology

Which is one of these once in your generation technologies things like steam power or the internet or electrivi

Or that how everything they touched the alter society they alter how we work

How they alter how we relate to each other in ways that are really hard to anticipate

So you can't think it certainties

You should think it's scenarioand there's really four scenenos in the future

The first is actually i think the least likely which is that the world is sttic

That that is is the best airor ever going to use

I think that's unlikely in fact

Whatever air or using now is the worst ai or ever going to use

So if the core large language mluent development stop

Right now there's another ten years of just making it work better with tools and with industry in ways that contincontinue be disruptive

So i think that's the dangerous view

Because it isn't static

It's evolving

So i want to skip actually to the last scenario before covering scenarios to indurace the scenario for is agi artificial general intelligence

This is the idea that a machine will be smarter than a human almost all tasks

And this is the explicit goal of open ai

They want to build agi

And there's a lot of debate about what this means when we have a machine smarter than a human

And it can do all human jobs s can create ai smarter than itself

And i think artificial super intelligence asi and humans become expooustely overnight

And there's people genuinely worried about this

And i think it's worth spending little time time being lilily worworry too

Because other people

People But

But i think that

That scenario tends to take agency away from us

Because it's something that happens us

And i think that it's more important to worry about what i call scenariottwo and three

Which is continued linear exponential growth

嗯嗯

We don't know how good ai is going to get right now the doubling time for capabilities about every five to nine months

Which is an exceptly fast doubling time more res law

Which is the rule that's kind of keep the computer world going doubles the power of computer prosting chips every twenty four to twenty six months

So this is a very fast ate of growth

It's very likely that ai will continue improve and get better in the near term

And now is a good time for you to start to forget

How to use ai to support what makes you human or good at things

And what things as ai gets better

Did you might want to start handing off more to the ai

We have a lot of early evidence

That this is going to be a big deal for work

So there's now a multiple studies across fields ranging from consulting to legal to a marketing to programming

Suggesting twenty to eighty percent performance improvements across a wide range of tasks for people who use iyeors is don't the proof ting being human is that were stuck in our heads

And a lot lot of decisions that are bad result from us not having enough perspectives

Ai is very good and cheap way of providing additional perspectives

You don't delicate to with device

But getting a advice

Forcing it reflect for a moment

Forcing very a thgity to reject or acceptive

And i can give you the license to actually be really creative

And don't deraciy your own innovation

So you can ask it to create crazy suggetions tions

You

What's the most complicated way to solve this problem

What's the most expensive way to solve this problem

What's the most worst idea

I have to be this was a superbilant make this problem worse

It can be very innerable to realize at the ai is quite very creativity

And think think us the very human tivbut

But think think we embrace effect that ai can help us be more creative

That actually is very exciting a lot of us feel stiteful to creativity

And having a partner who can work with you and doesn't ever judge

You can often feel very exberating 今天one of the really weird things about large language models s they don't work

Like we think computer should work lm ms are very bad at math

Computer should be good at math

Who large language models are weirdly emotional and you can threaten you or want to be your friend seemingly

And so it can be very hard to know in advance what they're good or about it in fact

Nobody actually knows the answer

We call this the jacket frontier of ai

The idea that there's almost a spiky shape to what the aacan can do

What what can can do

So it can what you need to do is understand the shape of the frontier

You need to know

When the a is likely to lie you

And when it's not going to hallucination of first to the idea that what the ai produces could be entirely made up plausible sounding fake information

The thing about ai is though everything it doesn't hallucation ation there's no mind there you might start to come more persuaded biit

You might become blind to its biases

You might think it's more cable than it is ai kind of works a luted like a psychoc

It's

It's really good at telling you what you want to hear the fact

It's accurate

So often it's kind of weird actually and hallucinrates tes to be dropping over time

And what you need do a sharper in your own intuition with working with a tool

Get a sense of when you see something that might make you concerned the a when you ask people about a future vi

There's a term use within ai insiders called pedoom

Which is a probability that were all going to die

I do not have a pedoom that i really think about

Because i don't think we going to side a probability to things going wrong

And again that makes the technology

The agent we get to decide how this thing is used

And if we think about this the right way

This freezes from boredom and tedium and disaster

But i think we need to think about the mistakes we made in regularating other technologies

You know and what the vangers are what we did rently for the internet versus

Social medil and are decisions

We get to make that are both personal about how we use it at a organizal level

About how it's deployed and at a societal level

And it's not an inevitability

The technology just does what it does

It does what it does

Because society lets it do that get smarter

Faster
