-That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind.

-Shortly after I was born,
Neil Armstrong

became the first man
to walk on the moon.

Putting a man on the moon
was the greatest technological

achievement in the 20th century,
and it was televised live

for all to see
and experience together.

-It's different,
but it's very pretty out here.

-Beautiful, beautiful.
-Isn't that something?

-Are you getting a TV
picture now, Houston?

-I grew up in a small community
living in the shadow of NASA.

It was equal parts cowboy
and astronaut.

Our neighbors were
the engineers, technicians,

and the men who flew to space.

I grew up with visions
of the future

where robots cleaned our homes,
and the future was bright.

Computers and the Internet,

once limited to NASA
and universities,

began to move into our homes.

In 1981, I got my first
computer, the Commodore VIC-20.

-It has great games, too.
-And learn computing at home.

-In 1997, Kasparov,
the greatest chess player alive,

was stunningly defeated
by a computer.

-Probably in the future,
computer will replace us,

I mean, will control our life.

-What's that?

-Shortly after that,
a cute toy named Furby

became the must-have toy
of the season.

It contained a very small bit
of artificial intelligence

and more computing power than
was used to put man on the moon.

In 2008, I saw
a video of Big Dog,

a four-legged robot
that went viral.

It was developed to
assist troops in combat.

It seems like robots were being
used for more than cute toys.

-What can we do to protect
ourselves from robot automation?

-The CEO explained that machines
will replace traditional labor.

-Companies planning to
replace human jobs...

-Every day, there are stories
about robots replacing us.

Current estimates say
that over a third of all jobs

will be lost to automation
by the year 2030.

-I think the development of
full artificial intelligence

could spell the end
of the human race.

-Visionaries like
Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk

warn that, while AI has great
potential for benefits,

it could also be the greatest
existential risk to humanity.

♪♪

-Artificial intelligence --
we are summoning a demon.

-Of course, we had a hand
in this creation,

but I wonder, have we reached
some kind of turning point

in the evolution
of intelligent machines?

Are we on the verge
of witnessing the birth

of a new species?

-I've seen things you people
wouldn't believe.

Attack ships on fire
off the shoulder of Orion.

-I watched C-beams
glitter in the dark

near the Tannhauser Gate.

All those moments would be lost
in time,

like tears in the rain.

-I'm Will Jackson.

I'm the director at
Engineered Arts Ltd.

We're a humanoid-robot company,
and we make acting robots.

I'm creating things
that engage people

to the level where they
suspend their disbelief.

-Oh, yes, Master Luke.
Remember that I'm fluent

in over six million forms
of communication.

-People say things like,
"Oh, they're going to
help out in hospitals.

It's going to look
after my aged parent.

It's going to do the dishes
in my houses."

None of these things
are achievable.

Utility and entertainment --

It's the difference
between those two things,

which is why
we make acting robots.

So what's the simplest,
most well-paid job

that a human can do?

Brad Pitt, you know?
How easy is that?

Doesn't even get his hands wet,
you know?

So that's why we do
acting robots --

really well-paid, really easy.

Pick the low-hanging fruit.

-You talking to me?

You talking to me?

You talking to me?

Then who the hells else
you talking to?

Were you talking to me?

-It's the re-creation of life.

It's partly man plays God
making the machine.

And I think it's right back
to that fundamental question of,

what does it mean
to be human?

How do we define ourselves?

How is that not me?

-Here's where the fun begins.

-When I was 9,
on the last day of school,

a new movie opened
that everyone was excited about.

-May the force be with you.
-It was called "Star Wars,"

and it introduced us
to two very cool robots,

R2-D2 and C-3PO.

-Go that way.

You'll be malfunctioning
within a day,

you nearsighted scrap pile.

And don't let me catch you
following me,

beginning for help,
because you won't get it.

-A couple of years later,
another sci-fi movie

was released
called "Blade Runner."

The robots in this film
were not awkward

and funny machines
like in "Star Wars."

Here, they were almost
indistinguishable from humans.

-You're reading a magazine.

You come across a full-page
nude photo of a girl.

-Is this testing whether
I'm a replicant

or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?

-After that, "Terminator"
was released.

In a few short years,
I watched robots

go from being our friends
to wanting to destroy us.

-Aah!

♪♪

-I wrote a book
called "Robopocalypse,"

so people think that I think
robots are going to kill us all,

but I don't, you know?

I love robotics.

I think robots and AI
are going to make humanity

into whatever it is
we're capable of becoming.

I think they're going to push us
forward and help us evolve.

I don't think
they're going to destroy us.

But there have been 100 years
of pop-culture references

about robots as evil killers.

-Aah!

-It used to be that robots
were movie monsters, you know?

Like, back in the day,
you had vampires and mummies,

Frankenstein, the creature
from the Black Lagoon,

Wolfman, and robots.

They were no different
than monsters.

-Aah!

-When you've got something
that's been pop culture
for that long,

it gathers momentum, you know?

People get an idea
of what something is,

and it's hard to shake that

because you've got
all these years

of different iterations
of robots killing us,

robots enslaving people,

robots stealing women
to take to other planets.

How do you get out of that rut?

And the only way is being
exposed to real robotics.

-The challenge of exposing
myself to real robotics

was just the excuse
that I needed

to fulfill a childhood dream.

I've assembled my dream team
to help me build an AI

that can make a film about AI.

Can our robot learn
to be creative,

and if so, can it eventually
replace me, as well?

We're going to build a robot
and let it interview me.

-We get "X," "Y," and "Z"
working first.

My name is Madeline Gannon.

We're here in Pittsburgh at
the Studio for Creative Inquiry,

and I'm a robot whisperer.

We encounter a lot of robots
in our daily life,

so my work is inventing

better ways to communicate
with these machines.

I can see the future.

The best possible end goal
is that

if someone
who has never seen a robot

and someone who's not
an experienced camera person

can either be interviewed
or work with this robot

would be really exciting.

-One of the things
I'm very excited about

is sort of being interviewed
by the robot alone

and wondering how that will
be different, as opposed to,

like, right now
when there's people around.
-Two, three...

-If we can create a device

that actually allows us
to be more intimate

and tell a story
in a more intimate way,

I think that
that's a true revelation.

-Okay. Cool.

I'm here working with
the CameraBot team

on replacing our DP,
who's sitting behind this shot.

I'm curious to see if,
through this project,

we can create something as
empathy-requiring as possible,

making it feel like the robot
is interacting with you

in a way that's --
has space for failure.

-Think that should be good.

I'm an interaction designer
and media artist,

and I work on some
never-before-attempted things.

Because it's never
been done before,

we kind of have to experiment
and find

where the edges
and limitations are,

and may not be
exactly what we want,

but we may run into
some situations where we end up

with, like,
a happy accident.

-The real challenge here is,

can it have a personality
of its own, right?

So can it have true autonomy?

Can it be creative?

Knowing I will soon
face the robot,

I decided to talk to someone
who has faced a machine before.

-The machine has a name --
Deep Thought.

It's the computer-world
champion of chess.

Across the board
is Garry Kasparov,

the human champion,

maybe the best chess player
who's ever lived.

-Oh, it was the first match
I lost in my life, period,

and that was definitely
quite a shocking experience

because I was unbeatable
in all events.

Yeah, I was angry,
but, you know, and I --

It's --

You win some. You lose some.

People had idea for a long time
that chess could serve

as the sort of perfect field
to test computer's ability,

and there is great minds,
the pioneers of computer science

like Alan Turing.

They believed that when,
one day,

machine would beat
human champion,

that will be the moment of AI
making its appearance.

-AI has not only
made its appearance.

It's already ensnared us
in ways we cannot see.

If AI can be superior to us,

what does that mean
to our own identity?

♪♪

-So I'm Nick Bostrom.

I'm a professor here
at Oxford University,

and I run the Future
of Humanity Institute,

which is a multidisciplinary
research center

with mathematicians,
computer scientists,

philosophers trying to study
the big picture for humanity,

with a particular focus on how
certain future technologies

may fundamentally change
the human condition.

-Why do you have to do that?
I mean, why don't we have to --

-Because somebody
has to do it, right?

If this hypothesis is correct,
it's kind of weird

that we should happen to live
at this particular time

in all of human history

where we are kind of near
this big pivot point.

I devoted a lot of attention
to AI

because it seems like
a plausible candidate

for a technology
that will fundamentally

change the human condition.

It's -- If you think about it,

the development of full,
general machine intelligence,

it's the last invention that
humans will ever need to make.

By definition,
if you have an intellect

that can do all that we can do,

it can also do inventing

and then do it much better
and faster that we can do it.

To us humans, like,
the differences between humans
seem very large.

Like, our whole world as humans,
we think,

"Oh, that's the dumb human,
and that's a smart human,"

and we think one is up here
and one is down there, right?

Einstein, the village idiot --
huge difference.

But from the point of view
of an AI designer,

these are very close points,
like, all levels of intelligence

achieved
by some human-brain-like thing

that lives for a few decades
and reads some books,

and it's, like...

It's not clear that
it will be much harder

to reach a human-genius-level AI

than to reach
a human-village-idiot AI,

so once you get all the way
up to human village idiot,

you might just swoosh right by.

Nobody was really doing
any serious analysis on this.

It's almost like
even conceiving of the ideas

if machines could be as smart
as humans was so radical

that the imagination muscle
kind of exhausted itself

thinking about
this radical conception

that it couldn't take
the obvious further step,

that after you have
human-level AI,

you will have superintelligence.

-Where we're at right now
would not be possible.

This future that we're living in
is not possible

without all of the factories,
all of the infrastructure

that's been built up around
AI and robotic systems.

All the infrastructure
of our cities,

you know, all the power,

all the information systems
that keep things happening,

all the airplanes are routed
by these AIs.

Where they put stuff
in the supermarkets,

I mean,
all of this stuff is AI.

What's fascinating is

this amazing ability
that human beings have

to make the most incredible
technological advances

completely mundane.

Every now and then,
people will say,

"Where's my jet pack?
Where's my underwater city?"

You know,
"Where's all this stuff at?"

And if you go look for it,
it's all here.

Like, we have all that.

It's just completely mundane.

We can talk to our phones.

Nobody cares.

Like, I mean, that's something
I feel like

we should be reeling from
for like 10 years, you know?

Instead, you know,
it was maybe three months,

if anybody noticed it at all.

-So only 36 and 39.

Those are the only two trains
we'll see today.

-Okay.

-We can skip...

-As intelligent machines
seep into the fabric

of our daily existence
in an almost imperceivable way,

I've decided to go on a journey
to find people

who have intimate relationships
with computers.

I want to find out how robots
and AI

are transforming
how we relate to each other.

-Ha ha. I see you.

-Gus is on the spectrum.
He's autistic.

He is not the kid who is
going to be running NASA,

and he's not the kid
who is completely nonverbal,

so he is in that vast spectrum
and a question mark.

He's a very big question mark,
what his life will be like

and what he will be like
when he's an adult.

- Whoa.

Come on. Come on.
Let that guy go.

What time is it in Berlin?

-In Berlin, Germany,
it's 9:12 p.m.

-What time is it
in Paris, France?

What time is it in London?

-If you are like Gus and you
have kind of arcane interests

in things that, say,
your mother doesn't care about

and your mother is having
to answer questions

about these things all the time,

suddenly,
Siri becomes a godsend.

-How do you spell camouflage?
-"Camouflage" -- C-A-M-O...

-I remember at the time
he discovered Siri,

it was something about
red-eared slider turtles,

and he's moved on
to other things,

but if you're not interested
in red-eared slider turtles,

you got a lot of hours of chat
about those turtles
ahead of you.

So what could be better,
in terms of technology,

than something like Siri,
who is the most patient?

I mean, I begin to talk
about Siri

like she's a person
because I can't help it.

I feel this gratitude
towards this machine.

-Will you marry me?

-My end-user-licensing agreement
does not cover marriage.

My apologies.

-That's okay.
-Okay.

-It's not that he doesn't
know intellectually

that Siri is a machine,

but that the lines
of reality and fantasy

are still a little blurred
for him,

and he enjoys fantasy.

I don't feel guilty
about Siri now,

and the important thing is
that he feels fulfilled,

not that it matches my vision
of what a friend has to be.

Like, what was the year

-Hi. My name is Roman.

I want to apply design
and innovation to human death.

I want to disrupt
this outdated industry.

I want to lead the industry
to transform funeral service

into a true service
driven by remembrance,

education about grief
and death,

preservation of memory

-Roman was my best friend.

We moved here, and then
we rented apartment together.

And that's him
in that picture,

and he's right by me
on the picture

when we're, like,
in the Russian market.

And then, right there, we're
running together from the waves.

And that's my favorite picture.
I don't know, it's like --

it's like one month
before he died.

I remember that Sunday
very well.

I woke up in the morning,
and Roman was like,

"Hey, let's go to brunch
with our closest friends,"

and I really wanted to do that,

but then I kind of felt
responsible that, you know,

I had to go to another meeting,
as well.

And so, they were walking
through Moscow.

It was a beautiful sunny day,

and Roman was crossing
the street on a zebra,

and just a car came out of
nowhere just going super fast,

like 70 miles per hour,
and hit him.

♪♪

People just stopped
talking about him.

Like, our friends, you know,
we're all young,

so we didn't really have --

No one had a way
to kind of talk about it.

No one wants to seem like
a sad person that never moved on

or just keeps living
in the past.

I wanted, like, the feeling
of him back,

and I realized that the only way
to get this feeling back

was to read through our
text conversations on Messenger.

And then, I also thought,
you know, work,

we were actually building
this neural networks

that could just take a few,
like, smaller data sets

and learn how to talk
like a person,

learn the speech patterns,

those, like, small things that
actually make you who you are,

and I put two and two together,
and I thought, "Why don't, like,

take this algorithm
and take all the texts from,

you know, our conversations

and put in the model
and see how it work?"

Like, "I want to be with you.
Don't get together without me."

He would hate when people
would do interesting stuff

without him.

I'm like, "We won't.
What are you doing?"

"I'm sitting home

"Remember we used to serve"...

I'm, like,
hanging out at a party

and not talking to anyone
but, like, talking to my bot.

And it wasn't perfect at all.

It was just kind of
like a shadow,

but it resembled him a lot,

and it was more my way of
telling him something that --

you know, my way of keeping
the memory going, you know?

And I've asked his parents
whether they were okay with that

and friends,
and they were all fine,

like, tell stories

to keep telling the story,

like, that here is --

and to tell a story in a way
that he would've appreciated it.

And I know he would've liked --
you know,

he would've liked that.

He would've liked to be, like,
the first person

-Chatbots are these
software programs

that are designed to imitate
human conversation.

The first chatbot is considered
to be this one

that's called Eliza,

which was made by MIT's
Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s.

And it was designed
basically as a parody

of a kind of nondirective
Rogerian psychotherapist,

and it would just latch on
to the key words

in whatever you said,
and it would kind of spit them

back at you like
a sort of automated Mad Libs.

So if you say,
"I'm feeling sad,"

it would say, "I'm sorry
to hear you're feeling sad.

Would coming here
help you to not feel sad?"

This was done, you know,
sort of as a gag.

You know, he was kind of sending
up this school of psychotherapy.

To Weizenbaum's horror,

people wanted to talk
to this program for hours,

and they wanted to reveal
their fears and hopes to it,

and they reported having kind of

a meaningful
psychotherapeutic experience.

And this was so appalling to him
that he actually pulled the plug

on his own research funding
and, for the rest of his career,

became one of the most outspoken
critics of AI research.

But the genie was
out of the bottle.

Eliza has formed the template
for, at this point,

decades of chatbots
that have followed it.

-What's it like to be alive
in that room right now?

-I wish I could put
my arms around you,

wish I could touch you.

-How would you touch me?

-My most favorite AI movie
is definitely the movie "Her."

I thought that,
"This is already happening."

It's just, you know,
the only thing we need to do

is for those digital systems
to gradually become

a little bit more sophisticated,

and people will have
the tendency

to start having relationships
with those digital systems.

-Can you feel me with you

-I've never loved anyone
the way I love you.

-Me too.

-Will falling in love
with an algorithm

be part of our reality?

If so, what does that tell us
about love?

Dr. Robert Epstein is one of the
world's leading experts in AI.

He is specialized
in distinguishing
humans from robots.

He has his own story to tell
about digital romance.

-I went to
an online dating site,

and there I saw a photo,
and this person was in Russia,

and since all four of my
grandparents came from Russia,

I thought that was nice, too,
because I'm really Russian,

or Russian-American,
and I started communicating,

and I would talk about

what's happening in my day,
what's happening in my family,

and then she'd talk about
what's happening in her day

and her family, but she didn't
respond to my questions.

Then I noticed, at one point,
that my partner there in Russia

talked about going out with
her family to walk in the park.

Now, this was January.

I figured it was really,
really cold there,

so I looked up on the Internet
to see what the temperature was.

It was extremely cold.
It was incredibly cold.

So I said, "Is this common
for people to go out
in walks in the park

when it's only, you know,
X degrees," whatever it was.

I didn't get an answer,
and so I said,

"Okay.
I know what I have to do."

I typed some random
alphabet letters,

and instead of getting back
a message saying,

"What's that?
It doesn't make any sense,"

I got back another nice letter
from her

telling me about her day
and her family.

I was communicating
with a computer program.

The fact that it took me
several months

to get this feeling
is really strange

because I am
the founding director

of the annual
Loebner Prize competition

in artificial intelligence.

I know more about bots

and how to distinguish bots
from people

than maybe anyone
in the world does.

quite isolated,

-Well, luckily,

we had an assistant who kept

So when a patient thinks

that allows the CameraBot
to listen

and algorithms to decide
how to frame the shot.

We even added an additional
CameraBot

so it can film
from multiple angles.

The AI we built also generates
questions on its own.

It can even listen in

-Technically, we're pretty close
to it understanding your voice

for a new question.

We set up the infrastructure

-There's an aspiration

to achieve these models
of humanlike experience,

to bring life to machines
and algorithms.

We might consider this to be
our great Frankenstein era.

This is the era
where humans are creating

not just the cinematic
simulation of life,

but we are now tapping into the
fundamental mysteries of life.

It also means that we don't know
what we're playing with.

We don't know
the end consequences.

It's alive.

It's alive.

Oh, it's alive.

It's alive!
It's alive!

It's alive!

-In my writings, I don't call
the Internet the Internet.

I call it the Internest

because, I think,
looking back some day,

if there are people
to look back,

or if there are intelligent
machines who look back,

I think we're going to realize
that what we've really
been building

is a nest
for a machine intelligence.

That machine intelligence
will have access

to all human knowledge,

real-time control of most human
communications around the world,

most human
financial transactions,

many weapon systems,

and we have no way of knowing
what it will do

with all of that power
and all of that knowledge.

It might do nothing
and ignore us,

or it might decide
that we're a threat,

which, of course, we are.

And if it decides
that we're a threat,

then that will essentially
be the beginning of the end

of the human race
because there will be no way

for us to stop it
from destroying us.

-If we make the machines
better than us,

why do they need us at all?

I believe that if we make them
better than us ethically

and make them better than us
with compassion,

then they will be looking
to preserve all the patterns

and knowledge and life
that they possibly can.

They'll be looking to help us
be the best we can be.

They'll look to preserve
our libraries, our rain forests.

It's really important
that those machines

also have super compassion
and super wisdom,

they know how to use
that intellect

to envision and realize
a better future for us.

So we need machines that can
entrain on the human heart

and understand us in this way
in order to have hope

in this brave new world
that we're creating.

I could be more open, but it had

-There's one thing
that it can never do,

and this is maybe,
I think, the last thing

that's going to be left
for human beings.

When the machines can do
everything we can do,

whether we write novels
or make movies or whatever,

it can never do it
from a human place,

because if a robot writes
a novel about its mother dying,

I don't give a shit.

It doesn't have a mother.
It didn't happen.

But when you are a human being,

you share that context
with other human beings.

You know what it feels like
to despair

or to triumph or to be in love
or all these things

because we're embodied
as human beings,

and we really have lived
those experiences,

and we can share those
with each other,

and I think that's it.

Right now, we're all on Facebook
and Twitter,

and all we're doing
is entertaining each other

with our stupid stories,
our ability to just be human,

99% of the time.
