Video Transcript
She looks so human.
Central London should be the last place
that you'd find gorillas.
But here, behind the glass in a zoo,
these majestic animals offer a glimpse into our past
and perhaps a vision of our future.
About 10 million years ago,
her ancestors created accidentally the genetic lineage
that led to modern humans.
And I think it's safe to say that hasn't exactly worked out well for the gorillas.
As human intelligence evolved, our impact on the world has left gorillas on the brink
of extinction.
It's a metaphor that
researchers of artificial intelligence
call the guerrilla problem.
It is a warning about the risks of building machines
that are vastly more intelligent than us.
It's about superhuman AI that could take over the world
and instead threaten our existence.
That warning hasn't stopped companies like Meta,
Google, and OpenAI.
They're trying to build computers that surpass human intelligence in every domain.
They claim it will solve our most difficult problems and invent technologies that our
feeble minds cannot even conceive of.
I'm Professor Hannah Fry, mathematician and writer.
I want to know if super intelligent AI really is just a few years away.
And just as we almost killed off the gorilla, could a dinosaur be the next?
AI pose an existential threat to us.
Unless you've been living under a rock,
you'll know that AI is everywhere now.
But it's not just about touching up photos and chatbots.
You can use it for an incredible range of stuff.
For preventing tax evasion, for finding cancer,
for deciding what adverts to serve you.
The explosion of AI tools are all examples
of narrow artificial intelligence.
Sophisticated algorithms that are extremely good
at a specific task.
But what companies like OpenAI and DeepMind are trying to do?
is to create something known as artificial general intelligence,
a machine that will outperform humans at everything.
These sort of human-level AI systems that are very general, general purpose,
that's always been the holy grail, really, of AI research.
I think we are getting pretty close now.
The tech giants are spending billions of dollars on general AI each year,
all to try and pin down and replicate
something that most of us take for granted,
a broad, capable, human-like intelligence.
The only trouble is deciding what we actually mean by intelligence
because that proves to be quite a slippery idea to pin down.
