1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,237
It's interesting cuz people
have been talking about

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:08,397
the potential downsides or serious
risks of AI for some time.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,957
And I think a lot of people have been
saying why is this the moment where it

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,957
sort of escaped the bubble and is now
all of a sudden an international topic

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,597
of such uh intensity.
And I think a few things have

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,877
happened. One, the models
have gotten so good and

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,237
people for a long time
looked at the models.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,077
Maybe they looked at the rate
of progress, but I don't think people

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,677
really felt that the models were going
to come this far, this fast. I think the

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,437
biggest thing that has changed
is this thing that our industry has been

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,437
talking about for a while, which is no,
no, this technology, this approach is

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,677
going to go very far. These models
are in some ways going to become more

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,037
capable, smarter than people.
Um that finally

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,637
happened. And so I think that was a big
change to why now when people say, you

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,957
know, my probability of doom
is X or Y or whatever,

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:04,120
it hits in a different way.
Uh I think you also see um

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,677
a real fear that some of these companies

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,517
or some companies developing AI could

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,317
get too much power and be able to sort

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,637
of exert undue influence on the economy,

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,757
push a world view out on people. Uh and I
think the world is right to be afraid

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,797
of this. So we have these
two big challenges. We have

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,917
the potential of a loss of control
accident or some other serious thing

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,837
that could go wrong. Um we have
the potential of way too much power

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,797
concentration and people fear that those
developing AI could exert their world

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,717
view. Um and there
is a sort of narrow path we

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,917
have to navigate

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,437
with pragmatism, with

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,077
you know, steadiness, with the ability
for the the world to like trust that we

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,477
will make dependable decisions,
consistent decisions through this. And I

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,477
think people are saying, well, you know,
this now seems pretty important. Like

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,917
let's let's get it right. These models

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,997
have gotten so good so fast that we need

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,397
to treat the alignment and monitoring
and security with a new level of rigor

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,957
and we have to be willing to pace our

36
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,037
development of capabilities such that

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,157
capabilities always such
that alignment safety and

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,637
monitoring are always
ahead of capabilities. And

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,917
the hugging face incident triggered
a real reset not just in our own company

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,357
but I think the whole industry. What I
really care about is that we have got a

41
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,677
great culture of accident reporting
and learning. I think if we look at what

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,317
happens with the FAA and the NTSB
and how safe airplanes have gotten.

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,677
As I understand it from talking
to people who have really studied

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,317
you know new kinds of technology on the
order of magnitude of airplanes. One of

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,117
the things that has gone so well there is

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,917
is the culture of accident reporting.

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,597
You know accidents are going to happen.

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,277
We're going to learn as much
as we can and react from each one.

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,997
And if you know there's other kinds of

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,317
technology where I don't think it's gone
I don't think society has had the same

51
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,757
response and I don't think we have
improved as much. I think this is one of

52
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,637
the most profound changes
to how we use technology

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,797
that I've ever seen.
I mean sci-fi movies as you mentioned

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,477
have been hinting at this or playing
around with this for a long time but

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,397
this is one of those moments where it
feels like you're in the movie. Like the

56
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,197
sci-fi thing came true.
You're talking to your personal super

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,557
assistant and you are working 10 times

58
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:30,480
faster or better or more creatively
than you could have before.
