Humans will have to make sure that synthetic intelligence, which is meant to be much smarter than humans, remains “friendly,” according to one documentary filmmaker.
James Barrat, who wrote the 2013 e-book Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era, talked about machines in an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Excerpts from that interview, for Tucker Carlson Today, aired Wednesday night. .
“It’s a big challenge,” Barrat said after Carlson said AI could get out of control. Stephen Hawking said the challenge with AI is, in the short term, who controls it. In the long run, can it be controlled?

He referred tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has long warned about the threats posed by AI. “Elon Musk said we let the genie out of the bottle.
In one part of the interview, Barrat explained how AI learns to be more human and learns to create its own AI.
“We have taught AI to master many human capabilities. AI will be bigger than us when it comes to synthetic intelligence, studies and development. So what happens when AI is bigger than us in creating AI?” Look, our intelligence works like this. ” he told her, moving her hand in an imaginary flat line.
“Our average IQ is rising. Artificial intelligence works like this,” Barrat added, pointing with his hand at an exponential curve. “And we’re somewhere in that curva. la ‘intelligence explosion. ‘Then, AI determines the speed of the growth of intelligence, humans. “

The discussion also focused on long-term prospects. Barrat said humans “had no reason” to think they were the “high end” of intelligence. “So the way we’re going to go, we’re going to make machines that are much, much smarter than us. “we want them to be easy to use,” he said.
The interview will air in its entirety on Fox Nation on Thursday morning.
