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.

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

where the system can actually detect the cancer quicker and more accurately than the cancer doctor. So these are huge systemic changes. They will affect billions of people to the positive. So please don't shut down what we're doing. Just watch what we're doing and keep an eye out on us. And Dr. Kissinger was very concerned that people like me not be put in charge.

He wanted the society as a whole, people who were humanists and political leaders and artists and humanists and things like that. He did not trust that the tech people alone would get it right. And I agreed with him.

So are we the dogs to their humanity? Will ultimately AI be our overlords? I certainly hope not. The theoretical argument is the computers are running the world and we're the dogs. That's unlikely.

A much more likely scenario, which I do worry about, is that the concentration of power that a dictator type person, you know, sort of an autocrat type person can accumulate under the guise of efficiency can also restrict liberty. I'll give you an old example.
