00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
RESEARCH AND A CURE. >> THE FACT
THAT WE'RE SITTING HERE HAVING A SERIOUS

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
CONVERSATION ABOUT THE SYSTEMS
WE HAVE BUILT TODAY MAYBE BEING

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
ABLE TO HELP US MAKE PROGRESS AGAINST
ALZHEIMER'S IS REALLY QUITE REMARKABLE.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
>> Reporter: SAM ALTMAN
IS USED TO THINKING BIG WITH THE

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
CREATION OF CHATGPT, HIS COMPANY,
OPEN A.I., IS CHANGING

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
HOW WE WORK, PLAN AND THINK.
NOW ALTMAN WANTS TO HARNESS THE

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
MASSIVE BRAIN POWER OF A.I.
TO SOLVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.040
MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN BRAIN,
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.187
WHY DO YOU THINK A.I.
CAN REVOLUTIONIZE ALZHEIMER'S.

00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:02.647
>> ALZHEIMER'S IS AN
INCREDIBLY COMPLEX DISEASE.

00:00:02.730 --> 00:00:07.627
A.I. IS VERY GOOD AT SYNTHESIZING HUGE
AMOUNTS OF DATA, BEING AN EXPERT IN

00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:12.127
MULTIPLE DIFFERENT FIELDS AND BRINGING
TOGETHER THE INSIGHTS ACROSS ALL OF THOSE.

00:00:12.210 --> 00:00:14.797
>> Reporter: HIS OPENA.I.
FOUNDATION NOW PLEDGING ONE OF

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.567
THE LARGEST DONATIONS EVER TO

00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:19.267
ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH.

00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:22.237
$100 MILLION TO STUDY HOW A.I.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.007
CAN FAST TRACK BETTER DIAGNOSTICS,
TREATMENTS AND EVEN

00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:30.477
A CURE. WHY ALZHEIMER'S?
DID SOMEONE YOU LOVE GET IT?

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:34.117
>> THANKFULLY NO, BUT THIS HAS
BEEN AN AREA THAT HAS BEEN

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.587
EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT
TO MAKE PROGRESS IN.

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:41.357
WE NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAVE MADE A.I.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:43.657
SYSTEMS THAT ARE SMART ENOUGH
THAT OUR BEST SCIENTISTS ARE

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:45.397
SAYING THIS CHANGES THE GAME FOR SCIENCE.

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:47.367
THIS MEANS SCIENCE WILL MOVE FASTER.

00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:50.967
THESE MODELS ARE DISCOVERING
NEW KNOWLEDGE ON THEIR OWN.

00:00:51.050 --> 00:00:53.607
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A TOOL
THAT WE HAVE BUILT -- >> WHOA.

00:00:53.690 --> 00:00:56.677
>> HUMANS HAVE BUILT,
IS AUTONOMOUSLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:00.647
SUM TOTAL OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE.
>> Reporter: THE $100 MILLION IN

00:01:00.730 --> 00:01:03.017
GRANTS WILL FUND THE WORK OF TOP

00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:07.447
ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCHERS, LIKE

00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:11.757
UCSF DR. BRUCE MILLER AND SAVANNAH
FROM THE ARC INSTITUTE.

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.427
>> A.I. HAS THE UNIQUE ABILITY
TO REALLY MAKE SENSE OF A

00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:17.697
DISEASE LIKE ALZHEIMER'S THAT
IS SUCH A COMPLEX COMBINATION OF

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:22.567
RISK FACTORS LIKE DIABETES
OR HEART DISEASE, EXERCISE, GENDER,

00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.197
AGE. >> SAM ALTMAN SAID THAT A.I.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.907
WILL BE DIFFERENT TACKLING
ALZHEIMER'S BECAUSE IT WILL BE

00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:30.677
ABLE TO READ THE MILLIONS
OF PIECES OF DATA.

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.307
>> YES. >> FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:38.847
BE ABLE TO FIND THE LITTLE
NUGGETS IN ALL OF IT THAT MIGHT

00:01:38.930 --> 00:01:41.547
HAVE MISSED THE HUMAN EYE.
>> I TOTALLY AGREE.

00:01:41.630 --> 00:01:46.227
I THINK WE ARE SO SILOED.
A LABORATORY WILL DO A SET OF

00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:49.597
EXPERIMENTS, THE RESULTS WILL BE
BRILLIANT AND NO ONE ELSE WILL SEE IT.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.227
BUT TO HAVE US UNIFIED AND TO
HAVE ALL OF THAT DATA ANALYZED

00:01:54.310 --> 00:01:58.397
IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE,
I THINK THAT'S REVOLUTIONARY.

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.777
>> Reporter: AT MAN SAYS
SOLVING ALZHEIMER'S IS ONLY THE

00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:03.037
BEGINNING.

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.747
HIS FOUNDATION VOWING TO PLEDGE

00:02:05.830 --> 00:02:09.877
$25 BILLION TO LIFE SCIENCES AND

00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.747
CURING DISEASES, AS WELL AS TO PROTECTING
SOCIETY FROM THE MISUSES OF A.I.

00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:16.857
WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO

00:02:16.940 --> 00:02:20.887
GO, ASSURE ME THAT HUMANITY
IS NOT GOING TO BE ANNIHILATED IN

00:02:20.970 --> 00:02:23.497
THESE MACHINES ARE GOING
TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:28.667
>> NOT EVERY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE HAS BEEN
GOOD FOR HUMANITY ON THE WHOLE, FOR SURE

00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:31.167
THERE WILL BE JOBS THAT A.I.
DOES ENTIRELY AND SOCIETY WILL

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:33.967
HAVE TO EVOLVE TO BE RESILIENT.

00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:36.537
>> Reporter: ALTMAN HIMSELF
IS LEARNING RESILIENCE.

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:38.377
THIS RECENT STORY IN THE NEW

00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:43.977
YORKER QUESTIONING CAN HE BE
TRUSTED WITH THE REINS OF A.I.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.247
>> ATTACK ON THE HOME OF ONE
OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN TECH.

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:51.617
>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS MONTH HIS SAN
FRANCISCO HOME WAS ATTACKED BY AGITATORS.

00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:55.527
IN RESPONSE, ALTMAN POSTING
THIS PHOTO OF HIS HUSBAND AND THEIR

00:02:55.610 --> 00:02:59.167
1-YEAR-OLD SON, WRITING HE
HOPED IT MIGHT DISSUADE THE NEXT

00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:02.467
PERSON FROM THROWING A MOLOTOV
COCKTAIL AT OUR HOUSE NO MATTER

00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:06.307
WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT ME.
>> PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU, YOU'RE 40

00:03:06.390 --> 00:03:11.307
YEARS OLD, THEY'VE READ THAT
YOU'RE MAYBE NOT TRUSTWORTHY,

00:03:11.390 --> 00:03:14.247
THAT MAYBE YOU'RE TOO YOUNG.
WHO ARE YOU TO HAVE THIS KIND OF

00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:16.677
POWER IN THE HANDS OF ONE PERSON?

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:18.917
>> I DON'T THINK THIS MUCH POWER
SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF ONE

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.717
PERSON NOR DO I THINK IT IS. WE ARE
GOING TO PUT A.I. IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE.

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.557
EARLY, OFTEN, SO THAT SOCIETY
CAN TAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY AND

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:28.697
BUILD ALL THE THINGS ON TOP OF IT.

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:31.497
NOW, THAT IS MESSY, THINGS WILL GO WRONG.

00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:35.097
>> BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH IT?

00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:39.007
>> I DON'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING
EVERYBODY WILL DO WITH A.I., OF COURSE.

00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:43.707
BUT I FEEL TREMENDOUSLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING THIS

00:03:43.790 --> 00:03:46.877
TECHNOLOGY OUT INTO THE WORLD
IN THE BEST WAY THAT WE CAN WHERE

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.247
EVERYBODY IS CAN FLOURISH.
>> SO YOU SLEEP?

00:03:49.330 --> 00:03:52.147
>> NOT SUPER GREAT.

00:03:52.230 --> 00:03:56.487
BUT IT'S VERY BUSY TIME.

00:03:56.570 --> 00:03:59.627
>> INTERESTING CONVERSATION.
MARIA, WHEN IT COMES TO THE $100

00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:02.557
MILLION DONATION, HOW QUICKLY
DO RESEARCHERS THINK THIS COULD

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:05.857
ACTUALLY LEAD TO ADVANCEMENTS
THAT PEOPLE COULD SEE?

00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:10.397
>> WELL, SAVANNAH, THOSE WE SPOKE
TO SAY NEW TREATMENTS COULD COME SOON.

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:12.907
WHAT THAT MEANS A YEAR OR TWO,
THEY DON'T REALLY SAY.

00:04:12.990 --> 00:04:17.637
BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT THE HELP
-- WITH THE HELP OF A.I. A

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.477
CURE COULD BE ACTUALLY
POSSIBLE WITHIN A DECADE.

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.647
ALTMAN SAYS HE'S VERY HOPEFUL
AND THAT IS HUGE NEWS IN THE

00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:29.917
ALZHEIMER'S SPACE. GUYS, THERE'S
ANOTHER MAJOR STORY LINE INVOLVING ALTMAN

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.757
TODAY. A HIGH STAKES LAWSUIT BROUGHT
BY ELON MUSK AGAINST OPEN A.I. IS

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:38.697
GOING TO TRIAL TODAY.
MUSK IS ONE OF THE MAIN FUNDERS

00:04:38.780 --> 00:04:40.827
OF THE COMPANY WHEN IT
BEGAN AS A NON-PROFIT.

00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:43.397
BUT HE'S NOW SUING SAYING HE WAS

00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.207
MISLED ABOUT THE COMPANY'S PLANS
TO TRANSITION INTO A FOR PROFIT COMPANY.

00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:50.150
SO WE'LL KEEP OUR EYES ON AL
