  1. “Yeah, it was actually a moment even before 2013 where I remember standing in the office and watching a very early prototype of one of these image recognition, image generation models that was trained to generate new handwritten black and white digits. So imagine 0 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 all in a different style of handwriting on a tiny grid of like 300 pixels by 300 pixels in black and white. And we were trying to train the AI to generate a new version of one of those digits, a number seven in a new handwriting sounds so simplistic today given the incredible photorealistic images that are being generated, right? And I just remember so clearly it took sort of 10 or 15 seconds and it just resolved.”

  2. “between the reward like it was it was getting score and taking an action that it learned some really clever strategies to play the game really well that us games players and humans hadn't really even noticed or at least people in the office hadn't noticed it some professionals did and that was amazing to me because I was like wow this simple system that learns through a set of stimuli plus a reward to take some actions can actually discover mini strategies clever tricks to play the game well that us humans hadn't occurred to us right and that to me is both thrilling because it presents the opportunity to invent new knowledge and advance our civilization but of course In the same measure is also petrifying.”

  3. “So I found a deep mind in twenty ten. And over the course of the first few years our progress was fairly modest, but quite quickly in sort of 2013 as the deep learning revolution began to take off, I could see glimmers of very early versions of AI's learning to do really clever things. So for example, one of our big initial achievements was to teach an AI to play the Atari games. So remember Space Invaders and Pong where you batter ball from left to right. And we trained this initial AI to purely look at the raw pixels screen by screen, flickering or moving in front of the AI and then control the actions up down left right shoot or not. And it got so good at learning to play this simple game simply through attaching a value.”

  4. “Proposals let alone practical solutions for how we get there, training machines to help us as aides, scientific research partners, inventors, creators is absolutely essential. And so the upside is phenomenal. It's enormous. But AI isn't just a thing. It's not an inevitable whole. It's form isn't inevitable, right? Its form, the exact way that it manifests and appears in our everyday lives and the way that it's governed and who it's owned by and how it's trained is a question that is up to us collectively as a species to figure out over the next decade. Because if we don't embrace that challenge, then it happens to us. And that's really what I have been wrestling with for fifteen years of my career. How to intervene in a way that this really does benefit everybody and those benefits far, far outweigh the potential risks.”

  5. “We currently do. We need renewable energy to be ubiquitous and everywhere in our lives. We need to adapt to climate change. Everywhere you look, in the next 50 years, we have to do more with less. And there are very, very few”

  6. “I would say In the past it would have been petrified And I think that over time, as you really think through the consequences and the pros and cons and the trajectory that we're on, you adapt and you understand that actually there is something incredibly inevitable about this trajectory and that we have to wrap our arms around it and guide it and control it as a collective species, as humanity. And I think the more you realize how much influence we collectively can have over this outcome, the more empowering it is because on the face of it, this is really going to be the tool that helps us tackle all the challenges that we're facing as a species, right? We need to fix water desalination. We need to grow food 100x cheaper than...”

  7. “Because I want to design an AI that's on your side. I honestly think that if we succeed, everything is a lot cheaper. It's going to power new forms of transportation, reduce the cost of healthcare.”

  8. “We were nervous, we were nervous. Every organization is going to race to get their hands on intelligence. And that's going to be incredibly destructive. This technology can be used to identify cancerous tumors as it can to identify a target on the battlefield. A tiny group of people who wish to cause harm are going to have access to tools that can instantly destabilize our world. That's the challenge how to stop something that can cause harm or potentially kill.”

  9. “2020, I moved to work on Google's chatbot. It was the ultimate technology. We can use them to turbocharge our knowledge unlike anything else.”
