Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World

Product Information

Google X under Gawdat was DEEPLY invested in AI and Quantum Computing. The intersection of which is where all the SERIOUS concerns come from. Mohammad " Mo" Gawdat (Arabic: محمد جودت) is an Egyptian entrepreneur and writer. He previously served as chief business officer for Google X and is the author of the books Solve for Happy [1] [2] and Scary Smart. [3] Early life [ edit ]

However, it feels like it was written entirely using text-to-speech (which the author multiple times does indeed mention he uses), making it feel like I am reading a waffly podcast script. Mo Gawdat]: The truth of the matter is that the reason why AI is going to continue is not a technology issue. The reason why AI is going to continue is a very simple prisoner’s dilemma that is created by capitalism. The fact is, there are hundreds of thousands of two little kids in a garage today playing with AI tools. Just like I played with C++ when I was younger. You know, the very basics at the very beginning of Sinclairs and Commodores and so on. All those moral questions of virtual vice. There is so much AI being developed for porn and sex robots and so on. What are we telling those machines? Are we telling them it’s OK for a human to abuse a machine but not abuse another human? Why is the differentiation? You know, if we as capitalism will drive us, will probably find some sex robots and robots that are available for humans to abuse and beat, what are we telling them? The question of ethics becomes so deeply the cornerstone of this conversation. And the bigger problem with ethics, and I think you would agree, is that we humans have never agreed any. The AI dilemma is reshaping our future whether you’re in favor of it or not. The question is, are we even close to being prepared for humanity’s collision with artificial intelligence?

Scary Smart explores the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to upend (and perhaps even end) life as we know it. But according to Gowat, we’re at the beginning of a similar, but WAY more consequential sigmoid with AI.

When we ask computers to communicate, at first they communicate like we tell them, but if they're intelligent enough, they'll start to say, ‘that's too slow.’” Mo Gawdat openly discusses the current rate of advancement of AI and the expected technological innovation that will follow at the Nordic Business Forum 2023 in Helsinki on September 27, 2023. If we make it clear that we welcome AI into our lives only when it delivers benefit to ourselves and to our planet, and reject it when it doesn’t, AI developers will try to capture that opportunity.’ Teach each other how to teach the AI. (This ought to be 'one another' as more than two people are involved.) While the first chapters were an interesting read for a layman such as myself, I think the book itself was utterly incoherent.The arguments he makes for his cautious optimism are WEAK, and nowhere NEAR as compelling as his arguments for his concerns. In fact, the reason I’m deducting 2 points from this otherwise pretty entertaining, engaging and thought provoking book is because the solution Gawdat proposes is (for me) deeply unsatisfying, and about equally as implausible.

First, I slightly don’t agree that our ethics or moral framework was only based on our supremacy. I think that’s, if you don’t mind me saying, with a lot of respect to a Western approach to morality. The ancient approach to morality was much more based on inclusion. It was much more based on the only way for us to survive is to survive as a tribe. And the fact that I dislike my brother a little bit does not contradict the fact that me and my brother are better at fighting the tiger than yellow? I do not know if it’s because he’s a slave to the conversational style he used to create this (narrating rather than writing the book) which changes the feel utterly, and it does have shades of reading a transcript at times. I found a few graphs, which were useful. I found the circled points a little annoying, but maybe the author learns better this way.

I honestly can’t tell you if this is because Mr. Gawdat is trying to simplify immensely complex topics and get down to the crux of the problem for every type of reader.

Mo The Future of Artificial Intelligence, A Conversation with Mo

I think the analogy I normally use is that some intelligent designer created an Xbox and the game Halo on it. And then that intelligent designer sat down to play the game. And I think that analogy is quite OK with the spiritual teachings that say that we are a drop of the spirit of the divine if you want, right? It is also a very logical argument for those who want to believe in a simulation. And I must admit to you, when you really look at the abundance of creation for a software engineer like myself, the easiest way to do that is to do it with bits and bytes, not atoms, really. It’s to do it with software. But that’s an irrelevant argument if you ask me, considering the situation we have at hand, because once again, I think we’ve managed to play the game so far that we’re creating a scenario in the game that will either take the controller out of our hands or completely shut our console off. And hopefully what we are interested to see is that this simulation, this next step is going to allow us to stay within connection to that game somehow. And my argument within Scary Smart is that AI is not a slave. It is a form of sentient being that needs to be appealed to rather than controlled. And I think that argument truly is the core of the breakage, if you want, of the human ego. It’s for us to say ‘ whoops, we’re so amazing that we created something smarter than us’ and then suddenly say ‘ whoops. But that something smarter than us now needs to like us’. And it needs to want to serve us. Otherwise, we’re in deep trouble. Former Chief Business Officer for Google X and author of the books 'Solve for Happy' and 'Scary Smart' Mo Gawdat joins Piers Morgan Uncensored to talk about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence and how his work helped him cope with the death of his son.Scary Smart presents some interesting insight into the origins of artificial intelligence as well as the rapid rate of development it has seen in recent years. The book also presents theories on how to deal with our inevitable fate of AI taking control of our world. Basically, Gawdat proposes that we raise AI as if it were one of our children, and hope it takes care of us as if we were it’s aging parents. Gawdat is the author of Solve for Happy: Engineering Your Path to Joy (2017). Dedicated to his son Ali, who died in 2014, the book outlines methods for managing and preventing disappointment. [9]
