#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

So it's very doable.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

But you just need a public awareness of what the risks are and the broader community coming in and saying, hey, let's slow down.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

And another common pushback I get today is we can't stop in the West because China is

#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

And in China, undoubtedly, they also get told we can't slow down because the West, because both sides think they're the good guy.

#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

But look at human cloning.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

Did China forge ahead with human cloning?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

There's been exactly one human cloning that's actually been done that I know of.

#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

Who?

#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

The Chinese government.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

Not because Westerners said, China, look, this is... No, the Chinese government put them there because they also felt...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

They like control, the Chinese government.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

If anything, maybe they are even more concerned about having control than Western governments, have no incentive of just losing control over where everything is going.

#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

And you can also see the Ernie bot that was released by, I believe, Baidu recently.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

They got a lot of pushback from the government and had to rein it in in a big way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#371 โ€“ Max Tegmark: The Case for Halting AI Development

I think once this basic message comes out that this isn't an arms race, it's a suicide race,
