Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, explores AI creation values and the future of AGI in conversations with the iHuman documentary Tonje Hessen Schei.
Ilya reflects on his founding vision and values as he was developing the chat language model between 2016 and 2019. He describes his personal philosophy and makes startling predictions for a technology already shaping our world. Reflecting on his ideas today, amid a global debate over safety and regulation, he discusses his ultimate goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI), “a computer system that can do any job or task that a human does but better,” and questions whether the AGI creation arms race will be good or bad for humanity. Ilya argues that cooperation between multiple countries is essential to make AGI safe for the human race.
