The Future of AI: Superintelligence and humans

Superintelligence: what happens in a world with AI that is hundreds or thousands of times smarter than humans?   In this episode of future39 we're chatting with research scientist Roman Yampolskiy. He’s a professor at the University of Louisville, and his most recent book is Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach.   What we talk about:   - Define superintelligence … what are we talking about here?   - Assume we can create a superintelligence … or one emerges … what are the potential dangers?   - Is there any reason to assume that an artificial superintelligence would have any particular kind of morality?  - What about the opportunities? What would a superintelligence enable?   - Elon Musk thinks we’ll have to augment to compete. Agree?   - What happens to humans in a world with one -- or many -- superintelligences?   - How likely do you think a superintelligence is in the next 10 to 20 years?

Funding moonshots: Creating tomorrow’s futures with today’s dollars

Tesla. Apple. Google. Facebook.  Every company inventing the future started somewhere … with an idea and an investment.  Where will tomorrow’s futures be invented? Welcome to future39. I’m John Koetsier, and today we’re speaking with former Apple executive and current venture capitalist Daniel Gross. Daniel says he wants to fund “moonshot ideas from hackers, side hustlers, builders, and tinkerers all over the world” What we talk about:  - What are the biggest problems in the world today?  - Are solutions to those problems getting funded by VCs?  - Today’s “big tech” includes Facebook in social, Google in search, Apple in devices, Amazon in retail, Microsoft in productivity. (And much more, of course, in each case.) Where do you see the big companies of 10-20 years? What are they doing?  - The keys to scaling innovation are largely held by VCs with deep pocketbooks. Do you see that changing?  - Innovation clusters like Silicon Valley have led the past few technological revolutions. Will tomorrow be different?  - What is the future of the company? Do you see its organization/composition/location changing over the next decade?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
