Does AI have a plausibility problem? Or rather, do we have a problem with AI's plausibility? Watch Terry Tao's full Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture (supported by XTX Markets) as he suggests new ways of doing mathematics in an artificial intelligence future.

Probability. Easy isn't it. You knock up a few equations and voilà, an exact number. Except there's a problem. A big problem. One with which we are all very familiar. Watch David Spiegelhalter's Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture, Wed 11 Dec, 5pm & any time after:

At what age do we learn to count? Or more importantly, have a notion of number? Not that being good at counting makes a good mathematician as Hugo Duminil-Copin, self-proclaimed poor counter & Fields Medallist, explains in his Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture:

A computer scientist walks into a mathematics department... AI is in Frankenstein mode, worrying about the monster it has created. Even the tech bros seem terrified. So, where does mathematics fit in to AI's future?

The list of all the problems in mathematics that Terence Tao *could* solve is absolutely enormous. The problem is we can't make copies of him, dump millions of dollars of inference compute into each copy, and have them each tackle a different Millennium Prize Problem for a hundred subjective years. But we can do that with AI. So in that way, we may be underrating how significant it will be when we have AIs that are not superintelligent but rather simply as good as the best humans today. It’s actually an extremely powerful property of AI that by just running copies in parallel, you can immediately fill in the waterline of accomplishments that are feasible with a given level of capabilities.

Erik Voorhees explaining the importance of preserving AI as an institution not controlled by government "I would start by just conveying that important institutions of civilization shouldn't be under the control of any group of people" "when i started getting into the AI space, I realized that we have this additional new institution, which is machine intelligence, and this is becoming very quickly as important as money or as mathematics" "and if it is served to the world by a few tech companies who do whatever the government tells them to do, then that's a big problem and I see that would lead to a very dystopian kind of future" "the whole reason we started Venice was to create an antidote to that, to basically allow anyone access to unrestricted machine intelligence"

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: Israel is currently searching for a new enemy. As long as Israel—or any other actor—acts in ways that conflict with our national and regional interests, we have no reason to fear anyone, hesitate, or back down. We have no problem with confrontation. If it comes to that, it is not an issue for us. Israel is not just my problem; it is the world's problem.
