319 - Guest: Rana Gujral, AI Author, part 2
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I am in the throes of interviewing Rana Gujral, who is CEO of Behavioral Signals, creating systems that infer intent, emotion, and deception risk from voice, deployed in application from financial services to defense. He has a TEDx talk with a million views, has keynoted at the World Government Summit and World Economic Forum, and was named Most Influential CEO by CEO Monthly. He is also author of the new book The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making, which is a much more philosophically deep work than I had been expecting, and we are discussing it at length. We talk about hybrid minds – humans plus AI – and Rana’s framework of model for those, and how to manage governance of a company that’s using hybrid minds, incorporating Rana’s idea of a synthetic empathy layer for AI and how to manage the boundaries between human and AI control, and where we need to make sure we continue to be challenged, and finally AI consciousness and how to integrate these high level concepts into an AI-forward business. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.

318 - Guest: Rana Gujral, AI Author, part 1
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . This week I am talking with Rana Gujral, author of the new book The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making, a deeply thoughtful, expansive, and philosophical book, like its author. Rana is CEO of Behavioral Signals, creating systems that infer intent, emotion, and deception risk from voice, deployed in application from financial services to defense. He has a TEDx talk with a million views, has keynoted at the World Government Summit and World Economic Forum, and was named Most Influential CEO by CEO Monthly. We talk about Rana’s idea of artificial general experience, whether we need AI with persistent memory and universal awareness, whether AGI needs a physical experience of the world - what we call a world model – and what video generation models reveal about that, the role of empathy, whether AGI will come through an understanding that we consciously design or through emerging from a sufficiently complex general design, whether we ourselves are stochastic parrots, and AI as augmenting vs replacing human judgement.

317 - Special: Is AI In a Bubble?
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . We're looking at whether AI is bubbling, popping, jumping the shark, or otherwise outstaying its welcome. I'll explore the Hype Curve, the two dimensions of the Jagged Frontier to keep in mind when tracking AI technologies along that curve, what drives backlash and why it's inevitable, and the state of expectations met or unmet across key sectors, getting into specific activity in the financial, educational, and regulatory spheres.

316 - Guest: Gašper Beguš, Marine Linguist, part 2
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I am talking with Gašper Beguš, leading researcher in decoding the language of whales. He is Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley and the Linguistics Lead at Project CETI, the Cetacean Translation Initiative, applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics working in the eastern Caribbean. In his Berkeley Biological and Artificial Language lab, he also builds the most realistic models of human language learning. He’s been featured everywhere from the BBC and the Guardian to Time, The Atlantic, and National Geographic. In the conclusion of our interview, Gašper is going to introduce us to his whale family, talk about how we know whether translations are correct, what’s going on in the neural nets that decode whale language and the role that generative AI has played, the robots that they use, and whale emotions. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.

315 - Guest: Gašper Beguš, Marine Linguist, part 1
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . We're going underwater, to talk with whales. There have been some amazing breakthroughs recently in understanding the language of sperm whales, and AI plays a fascinating part in that. And even if you have no immediate intentions to go say hi to a whale, AI's part in this story has ramifications far outside the field of cetacean communication. Taking us through that is Gašper Beguš, whose recent research has produced one of the most startling advances yet in the quest to understand whale communication. Gašper is Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley, where he focuses on interpretable AI, combining linguistics, cognitive science, machine learning, neuroscience, philology, and marine biology. He is the Linguistics Lead at Project CETI, a nonprofit organization applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics to understanding whales, working in Dominica in the eastern Caribbean. In his Berkeley Biological and Artificial Language lab, he also builds the most realistic models of human language learning. He's been featured everywhere from the BBC and the Guardian to Time, The Atlantic, and National Geographic. We start with a fascinating backgrounder in linguistics, then talk about what's captivating about whales, comparing them to other vocalizing creatures, talk about communicating with aliens and interspecies communication, what language even means for whales, and… the birds and the bees.

314 - Guest: Katja Grace, AI Impact Researcher, part 2
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I am talking with Katja Grace, founder of AI Impacts, a forecasting and risk research project focused on AI safety and governance. She has leveraged her passion and concern about AI risk into a significant role in, for instance, surveying the AI community for its evaluations of risk, which got her named to Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in AI for 2024. She is an expert on technological trajectories, model scaling, and anthropic reasoning. In our conclusion, we talk about predicting superintelligence, Katja’s p(doom), regulation, the Great Filter argument, and Katja’s childhood calculations for dealing with lethal snake encounters. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.

313 - Guest: Katja Grace, AI Impact Researcher, part 1
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . When you stop and really consider the existential risks of AI, it becomes very apparent that we should do something. Yet so few people do. Someone who’s attempting to make up for that is Katja Grace, founder of AI Impacts, a forecasting and risk research project focused on AI safety and governance. Her surveys of the AI community’s evaluations of risk have gotten her named to Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in AI for 2024 and her papers on those surveys have been some of the most discussed scientific papers of their time. She’s an expert on technological trajectories, model scaling, and anthropic reasoning. We talk about what’s driving Katja to do this work, the fundamental risks that she sees in AI, AI evolving unexpected goals, risks of agents, comparing unemployment risks and like extinction risks, artificial general intelligence, the stunning results of the surveys she’s run on when AI will have serious effects, and… Trojan Horse racing.

312 - Guest: Tomaso Poggio, Computational Neuroscientist, part 2
This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . I have been talking with Tomaso Poggio, Eugene McDermott professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and the Director of the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines, and one of the founders of the field of computational neuroscience. Tomaso is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a founding fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. He develops models of brain function that illuminate human intelligence and builds intelligent machines that can mimic human performance His new book, Brains, Minds, Machines, The Mystery of Human Intelligence, the Enigmas of the Artificial, comes out this summer. We talk about learning in the brain and synaptic mechanisms, the role of sleep, what AI scientists should pay more attention to from neuroscience, other computational mechanisms in the brain besides neurons, connectomics, robotics, and… flies and worms.
