#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And I think it's very important though that we remember that as when we're immersed in the technology and the research.

I think a lot of researchers that I see in our field are a little bit too narrow and only understand the technology.

And I think also that's why it's important for this to be debated by society at large.

#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And I'm very supportive of things like the AI summits that will happen and governments understanding it.

And I think that's one good thing about the chatbot era and the product era of AI is that everyday person can actually feel and interact with cutting edge AI and feel it for themselves.

Yeah, be able to adapt.

#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
Society will be able to adapt to these technologies, like we've always done in the past with the incredible technologies we've invented in the past.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
I hope not.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
I think that would be very dangerous to do.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And I think also, you know, not the right use of the technology.

#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
I hope we'll end up with something more collaborative if needed, like more like a CERN project.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
you know, where it's research focused and the best minds in the world come together to carefully complete the final steps and make sure it's responsibly done before, you know, like deploying it to the world.
Lex Fridman Podcast

We'll see.

I mean, it's difficult with the current geopolitical climate, I think, to see cooperation, but things can change.

#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
Um, I think at least on the scientific level, it's important for the researchers to, to, to, to keep in touch and, and, and keep close to each other on at least on those kinds of topics.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
Yeah, science has always been, I think, quite a very collaborative endeavor.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And, you know, scientists know that it's a collective endeavor as well, and we can all learn from each other.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 β Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
So perhaps it could be a vector to get a bit of cooperation.

Well, look, I don't have a PDoom number.
