Episode Summary

My interest is artificial intelligence. Specifically I’m trying to understand how to control it and how to make sure it’s beneficial for everyone.

“You’re not going to find some perfect role model. Take something good from a dozen people.”

“Whatever the product is, people will find ridiculous ways to abuse it. You need to see this ahead of time and get ready for it.

“If a system is smarter than you, you cannot predict what its actually going to do. By definition. If you could, you’d be just as smart.” 

—Roman Yampolskiy
