Since you’re here …
… I have a small favor to ask. More people are watching than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many channels, I haven’t put up a paywall – I want to keep my channel as open as I can. So, you can see why I need to ask for your help. This channel’s independent, takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But I do it because I believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who watches our channel, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $1, you can support this channel – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Advancements in artificial intelligence continue to spread through our world. This past spring, a robot surgeon beat a human at stitching up a pig’s intestines, and self-driving cars are now answering some Uber calls in Pittsburgh. Computers’ ability to see and make sense of the world has made great strides in recent years, while improvements in machine learning could bring greater autonomy and utility to the A.I. we already use.
But where could this field take our society? Will the warnings of Elon Musk and others, suggesting that super-intelligent A.I. could escape our control, bear fruit? How do we ensure that developments in A.I. are as beneficial as possible?
The new Center for Human Compatible Artificial Intelligence at the University of California-Berkeley proposes to focus on ensuring that A.I. is as compatible as possible with our needs, and that robots are kept under our control even as they become more advanced. Berkeley computer science professor Stuart Russell is leading the center, and says that teaching computers our values could be the key to humans and computers working toward the same goals.
Meanwhile, at Stanford, a 100-year study on the social and technological challenges and potentials for A.I. is underway. The AI100 project’s first report, released this month, looks at the potential that properly-channeled A.I. could have for the year 2030 in sectors ranging from transportation, to education, to neighborhoods. Study panel chair Peter Stone, a computer science professor at the University of Texas-Austin, explains these findings.
