Does humanity know what it's doing? >> No. Um I think we're moving into a period when for the first time ever >> [music] >> we may have things more intelligent than us. >> You believe they can understand? >> Yes. >> You believe they are intelligent? >> Yes. >> You believe these systems have experiences of their own and can make decisions based on those experiences? >> In the same sense as people do, yes. >> Are they conscious? >> I think they probably don't have much self-awareness at present. So, in that sense I don't think they're conscious. >> Will they [music] have self-awareness, consciousness? >> I think so. Oh, yes. I think they will in time. >> And so, human beings will be the second most intelligent [music] beings on the planet. >> Yeah. We have a very good idea of sort of roughly what it's
doing. But, as soon as it gets really complicated, [music] we don't actually know what's going on any more than we know what's going on in your brain. [music] >> What do you mean we don't know exactly how it works? It was designed by people. >> No, it wasn't. What we did was we designed the learning algorithm. That's a bit like designing the [music] principle of evolution. But, when this learning algorithm then interacts with data, it produces [music] complicated neural networks that are good at doing things, but we don't really understand exactly [music] how they do those things.
