AI is going to change everything, but can we control AI or will AI control us?
In this new episode Steven sits down with AI pioneer and co-founder of DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman CBE.
In 2010, Mustafa co-founded the British Artificial Intelligence company DeepMind. Four years later DeepMind was bought by Google, and Mustafa became its Head of Applied AI. Later in 2019, Mustafa left DeepMind to work for Google, and in 2022 he left Google to co-found the startup, Inflection AI. The goal of Inflection AI is to use AI in order to help humans speak with computers, and in 2023 they released ‘Pi’, a personal AI chatbot.
In this conversation Mustafa and Steven discuss topics, such as:
His strict religious childhood
Dropping out of Oxford University
Helped to found DeepMind
The core goal of DeepMind
How intelligence can be defined as information processing and prediction.
The history of previous groundbreaking technologies
How technological changes come in waves
AI's potential to advance civilisation
What the world will look like in 2050
How AI will develop alongside other technologies such as biotechnology
The race to create more powerful AI
Making AI a tool that works for humans
His aim of creating personal AI
The chances of AI getting out of control
The limitations of AI
How AI could be exploited by criminals
How we cannot have a short term mentality about AI
The responsibility of AI creators
His thoughts on the chances of containing AI
The problems to containing or slowing down AI
The need for a global containment policy on AI
Lessons from WW2 we can use in tackling AI
