Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha: Entrepreneurship and Self-Improvement Podcast · Peter Norvig: Transforming AI Into the Ultimate Human Advantage | Artificial Intelligence | AI Vault · 26 Dec 2025 podcast

One is, you know, I don't want to say the purpose of AI is to replace humans, right?

We already know how to make human intelligence.

My wife and I did it twice the old-fashioned way.

That was awesome.

It worked out great.

So instead of saying, can we make an AI that replaces a human, we should say, what kind of tools can we make so that humans and machines together will be more powerful?

What's the right tool?

So we don't want a tool that replaces a human.

We want a tool that kind of fills in the missing pieces.

And we've always had that, and there's always been a mix of subhuman and superhuman performance, right?

So my calculator is much better at me at dividing 10-digit integers, so I rely on it rather than trying to work it out myself.

And I think we'll see more of that, of saying, what are the right tools for

for people to use.

Now, in terms of this generality versus general AI versus narrow AI, I think that's really important.

And so there's multiple dimensions we want to measure.

So we want to focus on both generality and performance.

So how good

are these machines and how general are they?

So yes, we have fantastic chess playing programs that are better than the best human chess players.

And recently it's also true in Go and we see sort of every week it's true at something else.
