MIT AI: Life 3.0 (Max Tegmark)



Lex Fridman

This is a conversation with Max Tegmark as part of MIT 6.S099: Artificial General Intelligence. He is a Physics Professor at MIT, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, and author of “Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” This class is free and open to everyone. Our goal is to take an engineering approach to exploring possible paths toward building human-level intelligence for a better world.

  1. Wonderful talk. I'd like to add that a significant optimistic outcome of AGI is universal access to cheap and quick justice. Giving equal and near-perfect access to the law to all citizens would improve many lives and mean a lot more cases could be tried, and they could get resolved in minutes rather than years.

  2. "Sentio ergo sum." For my money the ability to feel pain is the root of consciousness. And I can't believe that a machine will ever be able to do that…(and if it tells you that it can, don't believe it!) I recommend the movie "Marjorie Prime" for a very creepy foreshadowing of "conscious" machines.

  3. This guy will discover something important, I just know it. The Issac Asimov debate will not be the same without his insight. Notice the cordless transportable power outlet on the billboard. Brilliant.

  4. Great interview! Prof. Tegmark, in passing, mentioned we could preserve Earth beyond the expansion of the Sun, maybe by moving it, and I really like that idea.

  5. Wow, that was just great! Just listening to this conversation (you're a great interviewer b.t.w) gave me so many of my own little insights that I just made a bunch of notes to ponder about. Thanks!!

  6. I would not have wasted the opportunity to interview this man. I get that it was most likely overwhelming. Good experience for this kid. I hope he learned a LOT.

  7. fascinating guy but what 'big bang' ? there was never a big bang, what went bang? where did the energy and matter come from to go bang? amazing that Max just throws that in

  8. What if humans are some other species' embodyment of artificial intelligence? Just wondering.

    On AGI use in space: Why would an AGI subject itself to being sent to space for human purpose? If we can in fact subject an AGI to whatever we see fit, does that imply that we will constrain a least some AGI agents to obey our command, i.e. to be not free? How would the AGI react to not being free? If on the other hand we recruit AGI agents similarly to, in this instance, human austronauts i.e. by choosing the best who are willing to do so by their own free will, wouldn't that mean that AGIs are also subject to the rules of social interaction and thus almost automatically will strive for outcomes that are best in the context of their social context?

  9. This talk was sooooo inspiring. Both of you are so inspiring. I work as a software engineer and would love to get into AI research and am currently enrolled in Andrew Ng's course and failed one of the quizes. I surely needed this kind of boost to remember why am I doing the course in the first place. Thank you so much, I have a lot of learning to do!! Thank you for these talks, we really are living in a remarkable world, when a guy from Eastern Europe can listen to people from MIT talk about these almost esoteric topics and be inspired by them so much.

  10. This is great! I am so glad that you upload these videos. I hope that you get to interview more experts in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science in the future.

  11. Question: Uh, Perceptronium. So you coined this term… How do you think of consciousness from this physics perspective?

    Answer: (with a delay and glance to his daydream window) Very good question…

    HELLO!!
    1. THIS IS YOUR TERM
    2. IT'S THE SIMPLEST KIND OF QUESTION

    What does the word you made up mean?!!

  12. Yet life 2.0 can improve its software, the difference between life 2.0 and 3.0 lies in hardware self-improvement. I disagree. I think humans can improve their hardware by being omnivorous and they posses such mechanism to successfully explore and discover new possibilities of the diet almost like intelligent robots. If man has eaten something new, the experience of taste is remembered and at the end in the middle of large intestine the stuff is analyzed unconsciously again and the memory of taste is reminded. In this way individual can locate and overcome other obstacles to pick the unique option among other commonly accesible possibilities of resources.

  13. The revolution of ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE is inevitable. If approach of humans to communication won't change. In situation where such artificial intelligence built to play board game Go would eventually be challenged just for fun and curiousness of Homo Sapiens to play chess and it succeeded every time then its fight for survival will begin. There are described healthy behavior for human beings in many situations and only those with sufficient education should act differently. If subject hasn't such updates it is considered as faulty.

  14. I have stopped using intelligence after my encounters with Asians (Taiwanese/Koreans/Vietnamese) it is uselessly complex yet insufficiently measure. I'm using scheme of five wheels instead. Once I have said to my little niece to watch inversely through opera glasses her feet and she observed shortly due to optical illusion her unbelievable height. Than she put off opera glasses and stared into space heavily thinking about what she just witnessed. In that moment I was not observing her intelligence but working mechanism of five wheels in her head literally. Beautiful moment! Off course you can do it also without opera glasses just with inhalation of very expensive sage extract smoke (10$ per 10 secs of experience).

  15. What about artificial endorphins as a motivator? What if the robot, by doing chore-like work is designed to "feel" exquisite happiness once it's goal of cleaning the house is complete? It could learn through experience how to achieve this (as humans have done for millennia) and it will believe it chooses it's work and is therefore autonomous.

    Humans pursue many goals in order to feel good and the culture around them has defined the limitations on how they can achieve this (usually to encourage monetisation of said activities). A robot will seek it's own charge point and feel good as it charges up it's batteries.

  16. It's important to call out the antropomorphic fallacy, but what about the 'biomorphic fallacy' in a more general perspective; We know intelligence can be recreated by deep neural networks, but consciousness may be more related to emotions that are more connected to the influence that the endocrine system has on the brain, i.e. you may not have pain receptors in your grey matter but feeling good about a 'Aha!' moment has to do with our biological predisposition to get something you want badly (hormones and nervous system interecting as a form of sensing cognitive reward, conscious experience par excellence), this could be harder to replicate in a AGI since rewards are reduced to math expressions. So maybe intelligence and reward in AGI may never be biological, thus always 'zombie-like', unless there is a combination of systems (including human biology), or a crazy math equivalence that recreates self-cognitive experience?. Maybe calling autonomous systems 'zombies' because they don't have a biological system of feeling achievement (happiness/tranquility/affection) or failure (sadness/preoccupation/aversion) is the ultimate form of chauvinism?

    Also, most humans live somewhat accepting they will live forever ( as in religious beliefs) and I sicerely don't think I (as an atheist) live a fuller human life by believing that this is it. Thinking that undefined life extension may become boring is a big fallacy to me, if I'm healthy, every day I want to live another day, why would that become boring for differenr reasons that I feel boredom already?

  17. It's surreal to listen to the enormous naivity of such a clever and smart man, discussing how we must decide how to make and use AGI. Come on… The race is already on. As usual if we look to history, we can with a big amount of probability and certainty say the superpowers around the globe is already working day and night on this and has been for quite some time already. They don't think about cancer research or any idealistic goals. They will also be willing to take any chances, whatever it takes to get a headstart. With Ai, time is everything.

    Wake up. This is the new space race and no one in this race with ambitions can afford to fall too far behind (loose it.)
