#59–Transitioning to AGI, implications and regulations, with Jerome Glenn

by

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”-Albert Einstein

Note: this is a repost of a previously (inadvertently) deleted post.

Regulating artificial intelligence is a bit like the weather. Everybody talks about it but nobody is doing anything about it. Well–there are efforts, there is trying. But as Yoda said, “there is no try, only do or do not.” The big problem, according to Jerome Glenn of the Millennium Project, is that those that are trying are metaphorically trying to keep up with a speeding racecar. He insists that they should be looking ahead to where it is going to be in three to five years, not trying to run alongside it right now. And where it is likely to be in three to five years is AGI–artificial general intelligence. AGI will be far more powerful than today’s narrow large language models. It will be able to research and learn new skills on its own, and even rewrite its code. In this episode, he explains The Millennium Project’s efforts to create urgency to regulate this coming, more powerful AGI.

#61–AI in Design: Keeping it Human, with Dennis Draeger

by

“I’d rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.”–Michael Crichton

If you’re asking if artificial intelligence will work for us or against us, you may be asking the wrong question. The key, according to Dennis Draeger of Shaping Tomorrow, is to design AI to collaborate with us. In this episode, we discuss this and other related issues involving working with A.I.

#60–Investing in AI and AI in Investing, with Jim Lee

by

“Anyone who thinks there is safety in numbers hasn’t looked at the stock market.”–Irene Peter

Nowhere do we hear more about artificial intelligence than in the world of investing. Nvidia and other major AI-related stocks are in the news every day.  Is AI over-bought and due for a correction?  Perhaps at the peak of Gartner Hype Cycle?  Beyond that, how much is AI being used to make investments, particularly by institutions?

One person I know who is well qualified to answer those questions is financial futurist Jim Lee.  He is a fellow member of The Association of Professional Futurists and alum of the University of Houston graduate foresight program.  He also happens to manage $100 million in assets for Stratfi (Strategic Foresight Investments, LLC)

#56: Space Mining with Daniel Sax

by

“Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.”- Peter Diamandis

Peter Diamandis might be right, but asteroid mining is probably not imminent–at least not in the way that lunar mining is.

With both the NASA and the Chinese National Space Agency having designs on establishing permanent lunar bases within the next 5 to 10 years, mining on the moon will be a necessity. It’s just too expensive to supply all the needed resources to maintain the outposts from earth.

Daniel Sax is the cofounder and CEO of the Canadian Space Mining Corporation. His route to that post is, in itself, a fascinating tale. In this episode of Seeking Delphi,™ he explains both his personal journey and that of the company.

#55: The Longevity Dialogs Part 3, The Science and Technology of Growing Young with Sergey Young

by

“We have created science and technology to extend our life, but we haven’t created life we want to extend.”–Sergey Young, Seeking Delphi™ episode #55, explaining why he believes more people do not support radical life extension.

http://www.andertoons.com

Few individuals have done more, from an advocacy standpoint, to promote breakthroughs in human longevity, than Sergey Young. Seeking Delphi™ returns with a fascinating interview with Sergey on the occasion of the release of his new book, The Science and Technology of Growing Young. The book provides a comprehensive overview of where longevity research is now, where it could be going in the future, and what you can do, in the meantime, to get the most health and vigor out of your own life. We also discuss the current state of the soon to be announced longevity XPrize.

Podcast #26 Redux: Future Driving Part 1, Interconnectivity and Self-Driving Cars with Alex Wyglinski

by

This podcast was originally recorded and aired in November of 2018.

 “The Promise of Autonomous Vehicles is Great.”–Dan Lipinski

“My opinion is that it’s a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous vehicles.”–Elon Musk

 ™

http://www.andertoons.com

There’s no shortage of opinions on the viability of self-driving cars.  Be you a bull or a bear, though, there is no denying that there is a plethora of big players banking on them with R&D spending.

The issues surrounding the technology are too many and complex to deal with all of them in a single podcast.  And while things like collision avoidance, navigation, regulation, liability and public acceptance take up much of the debate over the technology, one key element has not so often been discussed.  That would be connectivity.  To assure safety and efficiency, to any degree greater than currently exists with manually driven cars, they need to be able to talk to each other.

In episode #26 of Seeking Delphi™ host Mark Sackler talks with Alex Wyglinski, president of IEEE’s Vehicle Technology Society and co-chair of the Community Development Working Group for IEEE Future Networks,  on how wireless connectivity might enable the technology.
