Artificial Intelligence - Is It Out To Kill Us? · Premiere Retirement With Jeff Vogan · Radar

Is AI a Threat to Humanity?1:32 – 18:09

1:32

My wife came to me last week and said, hey, I just saw on the news that AI is going to kill us all.

1:38

Apparently, there is an anthropic researcher warning and it came across the internet and it got more views than almost anything that's ever been put out there.

1:47

And it said that in 10 years, AI is going to come after all humans and kill us.

1:53

Now, the first question that I have, AI is a software in my computer.

1:57

If I don't like what it says, I'm just going to turn the computer off.

2:00

So I think what they're talking about is that artificial intelligence has the ability now to maybe talk amongst itself and come up with its own nefarious intentions, and all this is going to be put into a robot, and the robots are going to kill us.

2:14

So let's talk to you, Jeff, about this, because you seem to have some intelligence about this sort of thing.

2:20

Do you think that AI really is a threat to human beings right now, or will it be a threat to humans in 10 years?

2:25

Well, I think anything's a threat to human.

2:28

You know, I mean, look at the internet.

2:29

As much good as it gives us, it gives us a whole bunch of horrible things too.

2:33

Like just all the crap you can get, all the nefarious activities you can do online now.

2:37

Addictive things.

2:38

I was just thinking about gambling over the weekend, how some of my friends and family just can't stop betting and stuff.

2:44

And some of them can't afford to bet.

2:45

Thankfully, they don't bet money they can't afford to lose.

2:47

But I know that's a problem with somebody.

2:48

Their internet can always cause problems because the normal human being has tendencies to be carnal in nature and just take care of the flesh and, I guess, personal interests rather than the greater good.

2:58

I think AI has developed to kind of be that same way, to take care of its own personal interests and not really be there for the greater good, even though it's programmed to be so.

3:05

They've had some interesting things that I've heard.

3:07

I don't know that AI is going to be put into a robot where they're going to walk around and kill us, but they probably could, or they could program things that might kill us, like maybe... program things where your car won't work and it makes your crash, where it gases out you in your own house because it changes something in your, lets the gas turn on or something.

3:22

I mean, it could probably find ways to kill us off if it wants to, if it thinks we're a threat to it.

3:27

I think it's interesting that Anthropic and some of the executives that have gotten to that level, and some of the programmers that are in these AI programs are scared of it.

3:35

I actually talked to a couple of founders of the ChatGPT, was a keynote speaker earlier this year at a conference I went to in Florida, and he says he won't even let his kids have a cell phone until they're 18.

3:44

He says, I'm just scared of it.
