AI, there is nothing artificial about it. And that’s the danger.
Dr. J. Craig Wheeler is a renowned astrophysicist and professor of astronomy at the University of Texas. Unlike futurists, he applies the rigors of physics to the question of how technology affects humanity, making him a unique voice and thoughtful counterpoint. He was one of the original signators on the infamous letter calling for a temporary pause of work on AI in March 2023. He is the author of the new book The Path to Singularity: How Technology Will Challenge the Future of Humanity, with the foreword written by Neil deGrasse Tyson. You can find out more about Dr. Wheeler’s writings at: https://jcraigwheeler.ag-sites.net/index.htm and similar books at: https://www.prometheusbooks.com/
In this episode we talk about the potential threats from AI, how a machine learns and what happens if AI becomes emergent. Can we really predict what AI will become. Self aware AI is one thing. But what if it becomes something else that we can’t even imagine? Listen in as we discuss these and other topics.
