"How will artificial intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology--and there's nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial. How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today's kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust, so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked?
“allow me to briefly look at the book which at this point is becoming more and more Visionary that you've written I guess over five years ago life 3.0”— Lex Fridman
The guest here is Max Tegmark: MIT physicist and AI researcher, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, and author of Life 3.0. He spearheaded the open letter calling for a six-month pause on training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. MIT physicist Max Tegmark makes the case for a six-month pause on giant AI experiments before a runaway intelligence explosion outpaces our ability to control it.
“co-founder of the future of life institute and author of life 3.0 being human in the age of artificial intelligence”— Lex Fridman
The guest here is Max Tegmark: MIT physicist and AI researcher, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, and author of Life 3.0. He works at the intersection of AI and physics and is a leading voice on AI safety and existential risk. Max Tegmark on making AI intelligible, aligning powerful systems, the threat of autonomous weapons, and whether we're alone in the universe.
“author of two books both of which I highly recommend first our Mathematical Universe second is life 3.0”— Lex Fridman
The guest here is Max Tegmark: MIT physicist, cosmologist, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, and author of Life 3.0 and Our Mathematical Universe. MIT physicist Max Tegmark explores intelligence, consciousness, AGI safety, and the value alignment problem with Lex Fridman.
