00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.317
of humans such as you and me in the very

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:05.117
long term with regards to AI what's our

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.237
what does our role become and also um we

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.477
often frame you know because of the

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.197
value systems the US China debate as a

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:17.757
competition but is there is there value
to thinking about that in terms of a

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:20.797
collaboration and maybe more
interestingly you know you mentioned

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:24.077
Europe being maybe somewhat disorganized
but they also have enormous strength and

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.157
enormous talent like Mistral and France
and so on is there something to do there

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.397
with um collaboration

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.277
Um, so, so a couple comments on Europe.

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:35.597
Um, I was the first investor in Mstral,

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:38.957
so I'm a big MRO fan. Mistral cannot

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:43.037
raise the money that they're US
competitors. They have the same problem

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.117
and they're working on solutions to

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.357
that. Um, with respect to US and China,

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.797
the um,

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.677
I started because of Henry, I I spent
about five years looking at Chinese peer

00:00:57.760 --> 00:00:59.437
competition.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.077
And I thought that it would be possible

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:06.797
to get closer to China. And I eventually
through his work and others discovered

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:10.157
that the Chinese were more afraid
of competing partnering with us than we

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:12.637
were with them. So it takes two to

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:17.517
tango, right? And I think it's highly
unlikely. I think you're going to see in

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:20.877
your lifetime um

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:25.517
hopefully understanding that we have
to coexist but it's highly unlikely that

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:27.837
the two systems will become best buddies

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.397
for the obvious reasons. I think on this

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.517
this other question about what does what

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.557
are humans useful for uh in the very

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.837
long term um it's very very clear that

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.637
humans are social animals and want
to be around other humans. It's also very

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:48.157
clear that there are some things that we
need medical care and so forth which

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.557
will be delivered by humans. I think

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.757
that the it's a rough way to say this is

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.077
most other functions will be doable by

00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:01.997
computers. Will we allow them?
That's a question

00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:04.717
for your research, right? Is where is

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:07.997
that line? My my old example was the

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.637
following. This is back when we were
building Whimo at Google. So the thought

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:17.357
experiment is New York City is nothing
but Whimo and competitor automobile cars

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:20.317
and the engineers at Google and the other
companies have figured out how to

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.797
completely optimize the traffic so that
there's the streets which don't change.

00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:28.877
You have the absolutely mathematically
true highest loading per street ever and

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.877
it's seamless. And then you have
somebody with an emergency, a pregnant

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.317
woman, you know, whatever who has to get

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.957
to the hospital and needs an exception.

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:41.677
Is there an exception button in the car
which says you have to violate all the

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:43.837
rules because there's something now if

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.077
there is not an exception button in the

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:49.517
car then that's dominance of humans by a

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:52.317
computer and humans will revolt if I go

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.397
back to the pickaxe versus religion

00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:56.957
humans will fight that that will be seen

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:00.317
as oppression by the government in this

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.277
case in the governor New York City
whatever metaphor you want and the

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.637
computer companies themselves If
the system on the other hand is

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:13.597
adaptable to human needs and says, "Ah,
we have an actual, you know, medical

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.117
emergency and not somebody who's high
on drugs or, you know, whatever who's just

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:21.117
goofing around or some kid who's, you
know, playing with the buttons." Um, and

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:25.117
it reasons and it says, "Oh my god,
I've got to do everything I can to get the

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:29.117
the person to the hospital." Then it'll
be more accepted. So, a lot of this

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:33.677
depends on whether it integrates with
our human experience and needs. Does it

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:38.317
limit our freedom or does it increase
freedom? I've come to the view, I'm old

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.237
enough now to believe that preserving
our freedom, our freedom of thought, of

00:03:42.320 --> 00:03:44.717
motion, of assembly, of gathering, you

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.597
know, if all of the things, right,
u are really, really important, if they

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.037
impinge on our freedom, then they will
be fought and I will be leading that

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.320
fight. >> Please
