From the Ted Talk by Max Tegmark: How to get empowered, not overpowered, by AI

Unscramble the Blue Letters

This brings us to the third part of our rocket metaphor: the diatostinen. We're making AI more powerful, trying to figrue out how to steer it, but where do we want to go with it? This is the enhalpet in the room that almost nobody talks about — not even here at TED — because we're so fixated on short-term AI challenges. Look, our siceeps is trying to build AGI, motivated by curiosity and economics, but what sort of ftuure society are we hoping for if we succeed? We did an opinion poll on this recently, and I was struck to see that most ppleoe actually want us to build superintelligence: AI that's vastly smarter than us in all ways. What there was the greatest agreement on was that we should be ambitious and help life spread into the cosmos, but there was much less aremegent about who or what should be in charge. And I was actually quite amused to see that there's some some people who want it to be just machines.

Original Text

This brings us to the third part of our rocket metaphor: the destination. We're making AI more powerful, trying to figure out how to steer it, but where do we want to go with it? This is the elephant in the room that almost nobody talks about — not even here at TED — because we're so fixated on short-term AI challenges. Look, our species is trying to build AGI, motivated by curiosity and economics, but what sort of future society are we hoping for if we succeed? We did an opinion poll on this recently, and I was struck to see that most people actually want us to build superintelligence: AI that's vastly smarter than us in all ways. What there was the greatest agreement on was that we should be ambitious and help life spread into the cosmos, but there was much less agreement about who or what should be in charge. And I was actually quite amused to see that there's some some people who want it to be just machines.
