#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And I encourage top economists in the world and philosophers to start thinking about the

how is society going to be affected by this and what should we do, including things like universal basic provision or something like that, where a lot of the increased productivity gets shared out and distributed to society, and maybe in the form of services and other things, where if you want more than that, you still go and get some incredibly rare skills and things like that and make yourself unique.

But

But there's a basic provision that is provided.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Definitely.

And I think I think we'll need new governance structures, institutions probably to help with this transition.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So I think political philosophy and political science is going to be key to that.

But I think the number one thing, first of all, is to create more abundance of resources.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So that's the number one thing, increase productivity, get more resources, maybe eventually get out of the zero-sum situation.

#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Then the second question is how to use those resources and distribute those resources.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

But yeah, you can't do that without having that abundance first.

#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Well, that would be an amazing experience.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

You know, he's a fantastic mind.

Lex Fridman Podcast

And I also love the way he spent a lot of his time at Princeton at the Institute of Advanced Studies, a very special place for thinking.

And it's amazing how much of a polymath he was and the spread of things he helped invent, including, of course, the von Neumann architecture that all the modern computers are based on.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And he had amazing foresight.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

I think he would have loved where we are today.

#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And he would have, I think he would have really enjoyed AlphaGo being a game thinker.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

He also did game theory.

#475 – Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

I think he foresaw a lot of what would happen with learning machine systems that are kind of grown, I think he called it, rather than programmed.
