Summary
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . What if artificial superintelligence - ASI - could be made both more safe and more profitable? Returning to the show after a year is Craig Kaplan, talking about how "democratic AI" can do that. Craig, who has the website superintelligence.com, is CEO and founder of iQ Company, focused on AGI and ASI. He also founded and ran PredictWallStreet, a financial services firm which used AI to power a top hedge fund. Craig is a former visiting professor in computer science at the University of California, and earned master’s and doctoral degrees from famed robotics hub Carnegie Mellon University, where he co-authored research with the Nobel-Prize-winning economist and AI pioneer Dr. Herbert A. Simon. We talk about democratic AI, a kind of a hive mind of AIs that combine to work together safely, and how do they talk to each other, what are they made up of, and we’ll also talk about systems for solving ethical problems. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
