Watch his interviews. He’s doing all this to make a point about companies not taking AI ethics seriously.
- ceejayoz 4y agoIf so, bit of an own-goal.
- anigbrowl 4y agoWhich I expected to be developed in a book and speaking tour. These philosophical questions aren't new, Hofstadter and Dennett were exploring them >30 years ago in The Mind's I and other writers had been toying with the ideas for decades before that.
- morelisp 4y agoHis actual points in e.g. the Bloomberg interview are considerably more mundane than Dennett's far-future musings. I think it's clear he's trying to get more attention on how dysfunctional/powerless the AI ethics group at Google is to deal with even the real "doctors are men nurses are women" sort of ethical issues. (In particular pay attention to how he frames his question to Page and Brin about public involvement.) I would say it's been at least a moderate success so far, though I don't see it having much staying power. But then neither did the factual accounts of Google firing ethicists who went against the bottom line, so it wasn't really a bad idea.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoThe interviews that come up are all CHriSTians aRE OPpreSSed!1, ditto for his blog. He seems like a charlatan and likely fired for being grossly unqualified for his job.
