stephen hawking argued knowing the mind of god is knowing the laws of nature my prediction is that we will know the mind of god by the end of the century. but first we should perhaps recall the ancient history school dictum to know that i sell. for who truly knows his own mind his own body let alone the universe with each affecting each other more deeply than we recognize. if people are watching us and. what humans would cause. as being activated. and what you would see on a cat scan is neural chemical activity that neural chemical activities cause the new world of coralie of consciousness. another would need to experience there's no experience that is not recorded in the brain or what we call the brain by the way the experience that's not recorded anywhere in the body the body is the written is recording the experience with the brain sending messages to the body so that memory right cells cells are everybody great interactivity so as long as you have them into a prediction of the universe where you actually believe that green the. real women and entities we see mind and body and the.

as voiced by stephen hawking the concern is that it would take off on its own and redesign itself in an ever increasing rate humans who are limited by slow biological evolution couldn't compete and would be superseded. in the future ai could develop a will of it's own will that is in conflict with us for such reasons the creation of artificial intelligence has often been equated with the invention of the atomic bomb. is not exactly correct. it's not as though it's going to explode and. it's more like if there were just a few people that had it they would be able to. predict or wherever acquired it and if was limited to people there and it was ultra smart they would have to man you know. but we're at a moment now we're just storytelling and the fear of things like artificial intelligence has become so pervasive that it's actually going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy and the thing that i think that's most important is to not think of these kind of transhumanist ideas as outside of being human they're coming from us artificial intelligence is an artificial it's actually an augment

artificial intelligence stephen hawking wrote about the promise and peril of artificial intelligence relaying that yes ai has potential to eradicate disease and poverty but. must go along with ai experts signed an open letter in two thousand and fifteen calling for serious research into its impact on society it's a real concern because computers are powerful their own right future supercomputers this way is a shrink before more powerful we just don't know what that would look like we have only one good example of intelligence a sample size of one and so us and what we're talking about achieving just when we back up boost and extend the brain is a kind of super intelligence and it's very hard to make a difference so there is a big scary downside just in terms of the problems we currently have on the fundamental problems we have right now is computer systems it's lack of good security but as we move to the internet of things as almost everything in your house as a computer tion from mark wave of and of the lights all those are potential sources of hacking just as is any kind of backup

it is for this reason that stephen hawking notes intelligence is the ability to adapt to change we must not fear change we need to make it work to our advantage so the thing here is that we have a sense. direction of civilization. inclusiveness of everybody's genius being important and we have to just increase that as we gain the powers that we used to attribute either to accident or to god's. knowledge of the genome is reminiscent of the apple offered to adam many by the serpent for other than that if human future is the most natural evolution of all technology is an essential tool in mankind story but it is up to us to decide how you'll continue to assimilate it. that decision will affect not only our body but our universe as well. as the human universe recreated money for example. religion god and god as we usually describe god is another contra. everything that you can name is. creation no you'd say this is both advance or creation this is board to construct the new creation but we don't understand this is a construct of creation galaxies or plans for creation. is a construct of who

it is for this reason that stephen hawking. intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. change make you poor. thing here is that we have a sense of direction of civilization. inclusiveness. everybody's genius being important and we have to just increase that as we gain the powers that we use to attribute accident or to god's. knowledge of the genome is reminiscent of the apple offered out of many by the serpent for others the medic human future is the most natural evolution of all technology is an essential tool in mankind story but it is up to us to decide how you'll continue to assimilate it . that decision will affect. the body of our universe. experiencing is the. recreated money for example. religion. as we usually do. everything that you can name is. creation. creation this is the creation. of creation galaxies a creation. is a construct whose. consciousness that i am is tied to the universal consciousness that you tap into that every only. the. election. i would replace that by unpredictable nutritionist and natural selection randomness means in any event and so i

of very big orders like your differences stephen hawking was one who believes the future of communication is brain computer interfaces there are two ways electrodes on the brain and implants if we can connect a human brain to the internet. it will have all of which has its resource but do you think that it's inevitable that we're going to see basically a merging of man with machine that we're basically going to have to. figure out basically how the brain functions to a place where we can just download intelligence and data into us machines that we can prolong our life or expand our memory or do you think that there is actually a potential future where we we have machines augmenting our our technology we actually don't merge machinery you know with nanotech and other things into us i think that we're going to emerge because i think it's a natural aspect of human evolution it's just like saying we you know we were able to grow cotton. we're both hemp and then we're going to wear clothes or just look at them outside of ourselves clothing fashion and all these things to become parts of our id

stephen hawking pointed out the best intention of genetic manipulation is that modifying genes would allow scientists to treat genetic disease by correcting gene mutation. possibilities for manipulating d.n.a. one negative effect of gene in the field. has been the reduction in seed strains. compared to one hundred years ago. diversity plant life if gene modification goes on. it is for this reason that. intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. change. direction of. inclusiveness. everybody's genius being important and we have to increase that as the powers that we use to attribute accident or to god's. knowledge of the genome is reminiscent of the apple offered to adam any by the. future is the most natural evolution of all technology is an essential tool in mankind. but it is up to us to decide how we will continue to assimilate it. that decision will affect. the body of our universe. right religion god and god as we usually describe god is another construct ok so everything that you can name is the structure of creation no you'd say this is both advance or creation this is bo

or stephen hawking. why would he chain up stephen hawking?why i've been staring through the peephole, i'm trying to get a look at this guy who's coming over to penny's. to be honest, i didn't know you were here. it's not a big deal. he's just in her history class. they're working on a project together. i don't even know why i care. you know what, i don't care. you think you don't care. this is silly. i have nothing to worry about. oh, i don't know. statistically speaking, i'm sure you have something to worry about. what do you mean? well, if we assume your looks are average, right off the bat, 50% of men on earth are more attractive than you. that's 1.5 billion handsome lads standing by, waiting to rain on your parade. well, yeah, but this isn't just about looks. i'm way above average in a lot of other things. not height, vision, athleticism, or ability to digest dairy products. i'm talking about important things like emotional maturity. you were just spying on your girlfriend through a peephole. i liked it better when you thought i wasn't he

this is our future it is scary and it has changed but people like stephen hawking and elon musk have said he - - ai can destroy society mankind goes away doom and gloom they are afraid of change. but the caucus has a bill called the future of ai these are two words you rarely hear it is bipartisan and bicameral. house and senate the same bill all it does is say hey congress, take some time to look at how dc is doing the federal government and here are some suggested improvements and get that bipartisan bicameral because this is the world's future. >> so to drill down a little bi bit, how do we make higher education more affordable so kids can take up some of these skills? . >> for me it comes down to prioritizing what we think is important and education is very important. >> and to be just off the budget and seriously to look at that with the student loan program to those interest rates that students are paying and also working with businesses to see can you sponsor like starting with internships so helping to educate the people that you will eventually higher. the government has som

now on bbc news — stephen hawking, aretha franklin, tessa jowell and ken dodd — just a few of those who this year, and whose lives are celebrated in review 2018: we remember. oh, it's doddy. hiya, doddy. # happiness, happiness. # the greatest gift that i possess. i always go up on the stage and think, "mind you, what a beautiful day." what a beautiful day for doing this. what a beautiful day for bouncing up and down in a big barrel of blancmange. how tickled i am by all this goodwill. what about you, missus? have you been tickled by goodwill? there was a showbusiness ken dodd, a thinking ken dodd, and hopefully there's an amusing ken dodd. i hope so anyway. # happiness! happiness! she sings there was television on and there was the group and freddie. they said, "what do you like more of spain?" and he was answering montserrat caballe. she is the best. that's why i listen to it. # barcelona! # it was the first time that we met. he was a little shy at the beginning to sing with me. # the moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away. # barcelona! # when we meet again somed

mentioned, people like stephen hawking and elon musk have said that ai can destroy society. mankind goes away, doom and gloom. they are smart people, and they are afraid of change. we have to impress change. the caucus has a bill called the future of ai, and robin knows, these are two words you barely here in d.c. -- bipartisan and bicameral, house and senate with the same bill. all the bill does is say, hey, congress, take some time, put it panel together, look at how washington, d.c. is doing, the federal government and it i, and make improvements. bipartisan and bicameral. let us start quickly embracing the change because this is the world's future. drilled -- ed to brian: how do we make ai more accessible so that markets can take up skills and get involved in science? rep. kelly: for me it comes to prioritizing what we think is important. education is very important. -- youe used the term don't have to get new money, just rework the money. megan: dust off a budget? rep. kelly: yes, and i think we need to seriously look at that. we also need to look at our student loan pr

stephen hawking warned against this.famous oxford report, saying that 47% of all jobs in america are at risk. what are your thoughts? >> charles that is underestimate. look forward a little bit, next two or three years, on our interstate highways we'll have trucks that drive themselves. at the same time period we'll have ubers that don't have human drivers in them. we'll go to supermarkets everything is automated. you go to the checkout, there won't be a cashier there, it will scan what you have as you take it off-the-shelf and automatically bill you. drones deliver a pizza, but your morning latte and packages n the next five or seven years they will have digital assistants on our phones. doctors that monitor us 24/7 and give us medical advice. almost every profession is going to be automated and number of human beings doing it will be much less five or 10 years or so it will be dramatically, dramatic, amazing all at the same time. this happens in the next five, 10, 15 years or so. charles: we know that the story of king

science and technology legend stephen hawking.ounder paul allen, who left us way too young at 65. winnie mandela died at 81 and former u.n. secretary-general kofi annan at 80. auto racing icons dan gurney and the great silver fox of nascar david pearson. preacher billy graham, gone at the age of 99. also remember the loss of anthony bourdain this past year. took his own life at the age of 61. and the global reaction to the loss of this cook, this chef, this storyteller, this traveler i think surprised a lot of people. farewell. all of which somehow brings us to this moment. number 1 on our list. this year's list of the most is topped by -- >> bob mueller. >> robert mueller. >> mueller. >> bob mueller. >> robert s. mueller. >> s. stands for swann. robert swann mueller iii. >> and he still holds all the cards. and he still for a lot of americans represents all the hope that we'll get the truth about how our election shook out, who chose this president, if there was any influence from another foreign power. robert mueller this year i

you talk about artificial intelligence, got to remember what stephen hawking the scientist or elon muskout, specifically the dark side of artificial intelligence where it can be an existential threat to humanity, so to speak, the last night, we rushed off the plane to mgm park, lg, the huge korean electronics operation was having a keynote. it was jam-packed, 2,000 people. they turned people away to show off the self-learning robots. in his only interview this time around at ces 2019, ip park, president of lg, ceo, i asked him about the dark side of of course learning. listen. >> there are some things that come into play but as i said before, business is business. that there will be hardship. there will be good days and bad days. we'll overcome any bad days. >> they are working very hard to make sure these things don't run amok. in fact they have five different a.i. labs they have opened. they're also opening business here in new jersey in the united states. they have a huge headquarters where they have 2,000 construction workers building the lg building. i have to tell you, charles, co

followed by brief answers to the big questions by the late theoretical physicist stephen hawking. and wrapping up our look at some of the best selling nonfiction books is susan orleans' look at the fire that destroyed over one million books in the los angeles central library in 1986, the library book. many of these authors have appeared on booktv, and you can watch them online at booktv.org. [inaudible conversations] >> good evening, everyone. many by name is john high job bush. i have the honor of being the executive director of the ronald reagan presidential foundation and institute. i want to thank everyone for coming this evening, and i also want to ask if you'll, please, stand and join me for the pledge of allegiance in honor of our troops. i pledge allegiance -- >> to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands; one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. thanks. please be seated. [cheers and applause] if you'd hike to know -- if you'd like to know how to pack an auditorium -- [laughter] with a thousand people, i

but also, i read stephen hawking's last book. he passed away last year. brief answers to big questions. i've got to admit i don't get all of it. i can't follow all of that. but he talks about time, space, the universe, what it means, whether there is a god or not and can you time travel or not. i get a lot of it and i like thinking in those terms because he talked about perspective and the size of the universe and where we are in comparison to that. it really put a lot of the day-to-day problems in stark relief when you think about it. it was a stunning story of courage that he could write the books and then i like to read novels as well. the last one i read just a couple weeks ago by one of my favorite novelists best known for writing about the english patient but he is a marvelous writer and when you vandiver at the miami book fair two months ago or whenever that was, he was there and i was lucky enough to meet him and have lunch with him and i attended the talk that he gave and they all involved parts of it. it's a story b about two adolescentsho after

any reasonable world, we talk about stephen hawking earlier. 's latest book talks about the theory that there are infinite universes and anything that could have happened somewhere did happen. in another universe, where the political culture, the political media culture has not been as perverted by trump as it has been, the smoking guns that we know already deal with russia, the revelation that he was told russia was attacking the election and he said it wasn't. all those smoking guns might have done something. i go back to my earlier point about robert mueller, we don't know what he is going to do or if he will do anymore indictments or have any evidence. may be a larger point. the issue is russians attacked an american election. i can't think of any more profound matter for the american public to know everything about yet the house intelligence investigation run by republicans was a circus and collapsed. the senate intelligence committee we don't know what is happening. neither one will hold a public hearing about these issues. not call any w

plus, stephen welcomes ethan hawke, jon glaser, and musical guest taylor bennett, featuring jon batiste and "stay human." and now live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! ( cheers and applause ) ( theme song playing ) >> stephen: whoo! gorgeous! ( cheers and applause ) well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome, one and all, hither and yon, to the "late show." i'm your host stephen colbert. ( cheers and applause ) i'm excited to be back because tonight i am proud to announce that, after a 17-day shutdown, i am reopening "the late show." ( cheers and applause ) yeah. i held my ground. because i kept my promise and built a wall... of mashed potatoes around my midsection. over the christmas holidays. ( laughter ) the government shutdown, however, is still going strong. day 17. remember, right before the holidays, the senate passed a bill to keep the government open. and even though it didn't fund his border wall, the president said he would sign it... until he saw this stuff. >> you told us that you weren't afraid to shut down the government. that's why we

and then also, for -- i read stephen hawking's last book, unfortunately, paced away. brief answers to big questions, and i got to admit, i don't get all of it. i can't follow all of it but times bows time, space, the universe, where its came from, where it's going, whether there's a god or not, the nature of time, i get a lot of it and i just like think income those terms. you talk about perspective. you talk about the size of the universe and how big and where we are in comparison to that, and then where we are on the planet in comparison to that. it really puts a lot of your day-to-day problems in stark relief when you think about that. he's just a such a stunning story of courage, that he can write any of the books is great. then i like to read novels as well. the last one i read, finished a couple weeks but was war light, the author is best known for writing "the english patient" and a marvelous writer burt when you and i, peter, were at the miami book fair a couple -- two months ago, he was there, and i was lucky enough to meet him and have lunch with him. and th

>> well, he turned it down because of his immigration hawk and, you know, deputy secretary of xenophobia, stephenhat down. then dhs asked for a certain amount, i think up to $10 million, specifically senate appropriations was like, okay, here's your $10 billion that you want, and then trump said that still wasn't good enough. so you know, to concern troll, which is basically what he's doing, especially after being the king of we don't want immigrants in this country, let's end birthright citizenship, the caravans are coming, all of that lead-up to the election. now for him to say i'll give you temporary protection for daca recipients, which we had at one point -- >> we had it already. >> -- temporary protection for temporary protected status, people who are already supposed to be under temporary protected status because of the status of their nations. and then to say on top of that, i'm going to also give you back government workers, i'm going to open the government if you give me my $5.7 billion, and that's absolutely ridiculous. it's literally, he's holding these people hostage for $5.7 billion
