behind it and building this machine could not understand what the machine was doing. confused and caught unaware by this machine. these individual people including dennis who, for the most part as a leader of this lab became the focus of this book. i knew that dennis would be a character. before i met jeff who was a generation older than dennis and he became the central thread. he, and his own way, is a fascinating character. had worked on many of the same ideas as dennis and dennis colleagues for decades. for anyone who knows jeff, he has a fascinating, engaging, strange character who has endured serious hardship over the years among other things. i thought to myself, if i can just get jeff onto the page, maybe this book will work. >> i actually wanted to ask you about a moment about jeff. kind of this connector of this group. about halfway through the chapter that deals with the cases of ai, jeff putting out a small sigh. he said early diagnosis is not a trivial problem. we can do better, but why not let machines help us. this was specifically really important to hi

or what it means to be hume unanimous contrast to machines. so that was a great text. another one -- i talk a lot about the hannah aaron book "the human condition." which is a fascinating book -- she was writing much earlier i think in the 1950s when she published that book, so she's writing about very early computers and things like space exploration. but she's concerned with basically the same question i was interested in which is like we're living in this world where because of technology -- advanced technologies and also because of some of the things that we've discovered about quantum physics where it's becoming clear that there's limits to what we can understand as humans. and are we going to insist on kind of like what i was talking about before, are we going to insist on our human point of view or cede to this other reality that is baffling to us? so yeah, that was i guess two books that were really important to me. thank you. >> thank you. >> i think -- are we getting toward the end? we might have time for one more question if anyone

but then the same conversations are happening with machines. expanding the notion of personhood to mean not the higher thought but something more basic, you know, the ability to, you know, create or however it is talked about in terms of plans. you are opening the door to electronic persons. it could be tricky. the idea that you mention towards the end. now i am blanking on what it was. >> the relationship. >> yeah. the mac i think that they made a really good distinction about this question. you know, we now have the spirit they are not conscious, they are not intelligent, but they have all the trappings of that. i can tell you a joke or, you know, you have tactics to get humans to bond with them. we have to decide, do we want friends or do we want tools? i think that that is going to be an important question going forward. what kind of relationship do we want? do we want a relationship at all? are they supposed to be just helping us and more practical and pragmatic ways? and then, the question, maybe this is getting into a larger question. th

will machines lead us into war? how do we stop killer robots from becoming a reality? and can the victims speak louder than the survivors? theme music has there ever been a time when we haven't been at war? battles have been raging down through the ages, over lands, religion, and resources. every so often a new technology comes along which gives one side a massive advantage and changes the shape of war forever. throughout the history of warfare there has been one common thread, and that is it has been people who have made the decisions on who and how to fight. but now we are having to ask the question what would happen if you took the human out of the loop? weapons, guided and driven by artificial intelligence, are no longer science fiction. over the next week, the un will discuss whether the development and deployment of this kind of technology should be left unrestricted, regulated, or banned. so far, the us and the uk have opposed binding agreements to regulate or ban the use of so—called killer robots. james clayton reports from silicon valley on the dawning realit

essentially, what is happening is that machines need to move more naturally.em, just like an insect would. then, like a honey bee, the sensing technology calculates the optic flow across the field of vision, considering any obstacles, and taking action to avoid collisions. the system has already been tested on drones and a robot dog named hopper. nature likes to solve things in the most simple way possible. it finds those solutions that stop you from having to do a lot of computation that you didn't need to do. one of the ways it does that is and how it perceives the world. so, every animal that we know of that uses vision to navigate works out the motion of the world around it. we call it optical flow. and that is exactly how our technology works. and the company claims that basing algorithms on insect brains could be a more efficient way of creating ai. importantly, it would also be a more affordable method for lower—cost robotic applications and that is the market that 0pteran is targeting. the current approach to ai is fundamentally flawed because it is re

and true conservatives have no war fighting machine. and the problem here is that the far left is black. margaret have been able to push their ideology and their agenda is completely forward with no checks and balances, and no one in this nation of free people deserves complete power because it does corrupt completely. and what we're seeing here is that things are being done in this nation for ideological reasons, not for what's effective to the nation. for instance, margaret brought up the student loan debt forgiveness. i mean, if people take on a debt, it's up to them to take care of getting rid of that debt that does nothing to change my world. it does nothing to change the inner city, it does nothing to affect the business and commerce and if there's good water in a city, it does nothing for that. and these are issues that are based in ideology and progressive left us and there is no counter to that. so we are a nation and this isn't just in the united states. this is sweeping across the world because it's ideological. and on the ri

the shooting machine is an analogy. so what we saw during the n c. a. a.ffs with the inequality when it came to equipment and training facilities and even food. she's referring to this. i got something to show y'all. so for the ncaa march madness, the biggest tournament and college basketball for women. this is our weight room. let me show you all the men's weight room. i feel like it's always been that way. even as a child. i feel like we've always been at like a disadvantage. but just weeks ago , the office of civil rights finished its investigation expressing concern in backing up the female athletes. the new haven unified school district without admitting guilt, signed a resolution agreement. now a shooting machine schedule has to be posted to reflect equal access. administrators and coaches have to go through professional development training over title nine requirements, and by early next year, the school must evaluate all sports equipment to determine if other disparities exist. it's very similar to a slap on the wrist. however, it's been documented

one is a moral one, that it is just morally unacceptable to turn over to a machine the decision to killis piloting the drone, a human has to push the button to fire a missile. if you don't need a human to do that, then you can basically launch weapons by the million. enough to kill half a city, the bad half. type in a rough description of the mission, like, you know, "wipe out everyone in this city between the age of 12 and 60." just characterise him, release the swarm and rest easy. so you create this weapon of mass destruction that's more effective than nuclear weapons, cheaper, easier to build, easier to proliferate, and doesn't really leave behind a huge radioactive smoking crater. is the answer just always to keep a human in the loop? and is the problem with that — which human? i think the answer is �*yes�*. to disallow attacks where there's no human supervision, there's no human who's looking at the actual situation and the actual target and saying, "yes, this is ok." even under the assumption that the machine is programmed by someone who has the best legal training and the most h
