The concepts of governance are prehistoric compared to, and we ourselves are as analog devices, as humans, biological unions are prehistoric compared to what is possible with the technology.

The question you're asking is known as the explainability problem. And today, the systems cannot explain why they know something. If you say, how do you know that? It doesn't have the ability to say, I learned it from Lynn or whatever. Because it learned it in complicated ways. There's a lot of progress on explainability, but it's not solved.

I personally think that the systems will be relatively explainable. One of the thought experiments is what happens when the system designs itself to be non-explainable. And my answer is pretty simple. If you can't figure out what it's doing, unplug it. Just unplug it and then think about it for a while.

This is generally known as the proliferation problem, which he spent a lot of time on in the book. And the question here is, if there are 10 or 20 or 30 of these things in 10 years, they'll be regulated. The governments will have all sorts of rules. The Europeans will over-regulate. The Chinese will regulate in a Chinese way. The US will under-regulate, but they'll fundamentally be regulated.

So what happens when an evil terrorist gets full access to one of these things? We need to prevent that. Now, one way that could occur is technically called exfiltration, where you take the model and you literally steal it and put it on a hard drive and then copy it, put it on the dark web. That would be really a bad thing.

The industry is very focused on the security of these models for that reason. But it's important that if China releases... So here's an example. China just released two incredibly powerful models this week based on open source, and they fully released them. I'm not suggesting that they're dangerous, but I'm suggesting that a future such strategy could be dangerous.

We have to be very careful here about proliferation. We understand proliferation can be used to harm a lot of people.

Well, let's start with climate change. I don't think we'll get to climate change solved without very, very powerful new energy sources and materials. All of that will come as a result of AI applied to science. Let's think about drugs, drug discovery, the alpha's fold and the Revolution in proteins, single-cell proteins, all of this kind of stuff is happening very, very quickly.

There are huge companies being set up to essentially identify drug candidates and test them in computer rather than in humans. And people believe that the gains will be massive in terms of human health. What about education? People don't learn the same way. Why are we still sitting in front of a teacher with 30 kids in a row?

Wouldn't it be better if they had their own self-supervised learning with the same teacher in the room saying, you know, Johnny, how are you doing? And Mary, how are you doing? And they're different and the system adapts to their education. What about health care? A lot of people in the world have very poor health care.
