Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on AI: Shaping the Next Era of Humanity (#225)

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.

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.

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.

We're very fortunate here in the US to have very good health care, although we complain about it all the time. Can you imagine if you had the equivalent of a nurse practitioner that was better in doctor stuff than most doctors? There was an article today, for example, that there are many, many cases in cancer
