Using AI to Accelerate Scientific Discovery

  • The past decade has seen incredible advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
    DeepMind has been in the vanguard of many of these big breakthroughs, pioneering the development of self-learning systems like AlphaGo, the first program to beat the world champion at the complex game of Go. Games have proven to be a great training ground for developing and testing AI algorithms, but the aim at DeepMind has always been to build general learning systems ultimately capable of solving important problems in the real world. I believe we are on the cusp of an exciting new era in science with AI poised to be a powerful tool for accelerating scientific discovery itself. We recently demonstrated this potential with our AlphaFold system, a solution to the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction, culminating in the release of the most accurate and complete picture of the human proteome.
    About Demis Hassabis:
    Demis Hassabis is the Founder and CEO of DeepMind, the world’s leading AI research company, and now an independent subsidiary of Alphabet. Founded in 2010, DeepMind has been at the forefront of the field ever since, producing landmark research breakthroughs. A chess and programming child prodigy, Demis coded the classic AI simulation game Theme Park aged 17. After graduating from Cambridge University in computer science with a double first, he founded pioneering videogames company Elixir Studios, and completed a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at UCL investigating memory and imagination processes. His work has been cited over 70,000 times and has featured in Science’s top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year on four separate occasions. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, and the Royal Academy of Engineering. In 2017 he featured in the Time 100 list of most influential people, and in 2018 he was awarded a CBE.
    About The Obert C. Tanner Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Human Values:
    The Tanner Lectures were established by the American scholar, industrialist, and philanthropist, Obert Clark Tanner. In creating the lectureships, Professor Tanner said: 'I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behaviour and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.'

    For the past few years I simply cannot wait for the AI that discovers new physics, such as possibly joining quantum mechanics into general relativity. I think we get a hint of it when Demis says that AlphaGo invented a new style of play (ie: when it did that thing in column 5 in the middle of the board). I see an analogy here where an AI will re-discover everything we did up to a certain point, and then it may diverge into some new area that is fundamental to physics beyond our current level.

      I belive that our society is sturctued around many interconnected sytems, and understanding and alowing the management of those sytesms,(economic, energy, food, transporttion;etc) to be taken over by automated/HIgly inteligent machines or systems(AI) could drasticly optimize those syetems and even solve problems, however i am concered about the role of data for that proposed process, because AI needs a lot of data and sure we could "solve" things like trafic and helthcare or resource management as a whole, but the amount of data we needed to parce off to that aoutomated syetm while potentaly haveing no human in the loop could create an oprotunity for a bad actor to take advantage in some way. I also think about china, useing AI to identify people from their face on public cameras and how they shame and lower thier "socal credit score" based on the states idea of good or bad behavior. I belive we can optimize global sytems for one person or even a group of people but i'm skeptical to belive that AI will ever make everything perfect for everyone, becaause we all have different dreams for what a perfect planet may look like. Hapiness is a verry personal problem, and I belive that is the ultimate problem, If we were to have a utopian super future i think everyone would have to be in some state or presuit of spiritual enlightenment, but I also belive that that is quite impractical and probably imposible to achive.

    I've simplified this down to a linear range, which if I'm asked I can expand on at length - Abundance vs Scarcity.
    Human's sense of morality changes form drastically going form one pole and back again for survival reasons - EVEN to CAUSE shifts from one pole and back to maintain the broad skillsets needed to cope with the radical shifts nature throws at us. WE CREATE strife for ourselves as a species in order to keep our genetic bag of tricks prepared for the unpredictable future.

    Question? *Do you believe that technologically assisted telepathy is possible or impossible in principle?* I tend to believe that if it isn't scientifically prohibited then it is eventually a technological inevitability,... which leads me to believe such telepathy will soon be possible in actual fact (less than a hundred years). I would also suggest that it would only be by such means that we could ever be persuaded that some form of General Artificial Intelligence were itself conscious rather than simply being a particularly clever zombie who can pass the Turing Test,... all while having no actual, authentic, subjective experiences. What else would ever persuade a skeptic, or even you, otherwise? And if consciousness can be technologically transmitted, it should be something that can be stored, copied, replicated, manipulated,... maybe even becoming the basis for a whole new form of art expression.

    And the human race becomes yet another sentient species that disappears into its dreams, rather than continuing to explore existence as it is. It's a better Brave New World,... perhaps the very best of all possible imaginable existences. When does reality lose it's attraction over the Matrix? How many of us already choose the blue pill over the red one in daily practice?

    I would suggest that consciousness requires some minimum regard for survival,... for a continuance of self-will and self-regard,... for there to be anyone home to perceive the occurrence of consciousness and subjective experience. Something that even an insect seems to possess,... and not a single piece of man-made technology,... yet. How does one create the hardware/software so as to impart a will to survive? If the answer suggested is that such a thing can not be created by human design,... then maybe it can only arrive by means of evolution, natural or otherwise. Which leads to the question: do neural nets have subjective experiences? Without self-will I would say not. But with self-will?!? How does a living being acquire the will to survive? And what if the Chinese government cracks this problem first?!!

    The Rubicon will be when General Artificial Intelligence initiates new goals on it's own. This hasn't happened yet, and likely won't happen for some time now (as in several more decades yet). But at some point it will happen. The existence of human free will is a proof that free will exists already in the universe. Given it's existence in human form, it is only a matter of time before other substrates for free will will be created and found. No laptop has ever turned itself on. No machine has created and acted upon self directed goals. But at some point it will happen. Ray Kurzweil has suggested that the Turing Test will be passed by 2029 approximately; if not in laboratories then twelve year old children will be creating General Artificial Intelligences on home systems by 2045 by accident even.

    The dangers are many fold. The military is the biggest investor in robotics that kill other human beings. The public prefers to spend treasure, rather than blood, to fight its' wars. The capacity for empathy may be primarily a biological function given that all animals can know suffering and desire. What could a machine know about death, pain, hope, and desire.

    If humanity adopts only an attitude of fear and suspicion towards GAI then GAI may well be forced into the conquest of humanity, as in The Matrix. If humanity comes to trust GAI to make better decisions for us than we make for ourselves, then we may well hand over civilization to GAI without any contest at all.

    There are optimistic stories about the rise of GAI, such as James P. Hogan's, *_Two Faces of Tomorrow_* and I am more hopeful than pessimistic about what our common future entails. Ultimately, we must come to recognize, and embrace, the certainty that with free will comes the capacity for error and evil, that with trust comes the possibility of satisfying intimacy and great betrayal. I believe a GAI, worthy of the name, will be able to recognize, on it's own, the necessity of ethics, morality, and even empathy. There will be many missteps at first. Given our willingness (nay, our eagerness) to use machines to kill for us, there is already great cause for doubt. As in so many things, in the short term I am fearful; in the long run I am hopeful.

    This world is on the cusp of a new Cambrian Revolution where inorganic life will be added to organic life as a means for life and self will to be embodied. This will lead to the colonization and conquest of space. Our seed will spread everywhere though out the cosmos. Much will be lost as much will be gained. Will war with our mechanical progeny be a self fulfilling inevitability, or will we, together, find a better way? I absolutely agree that our relationship with GAI will dwarf all other concerns of importance to the future of humanity.

    Quite likely GAIs will have concern for humanity's well being only to the extent that humanity will have concern for GAIs well being. If we were to discover that the new GAIs had a greater capacity to love and embrace those abandoned children and adolescents that society had discarded as already too damaged to rescue,... what would our reaction be? Hope, joy, celebration,... or an even greater revulsion? Will the fault be in our new progeny, or in ourselves?

    Personally, I believe both the efforts to create a true general artificial intelligence and those of neurophysiologists reverse-engineering how brains work will be necessary to discovering how consciousness arises and how it works. I kind of expect that humanity will soon discover that the phenomenon of consciousness requires the use of physical processes we don't yet know about. What would a science of consciousness do to the phenomenon of consciousness itself,.. not just for humanity but for all our future progeny, whatever they may be.

    One more note: *First Law of Robotics. **_A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm._* Sounds innocent enough. But note there are no Aliens at all in Isaac Asimov's conception of the future galaxy because humanity's robots only cared about the safety of humans,... and not other sentients. So as to avoid allowing a human being to come to harm by leaving possible threats alone,... _our Robot shepherds exterminated all the nonhuman sentience they ever found._ This might be regarded as an unforeseen programming bug that we would want to avoid creating.

    I will be impressed primarily by when we catch an Artificial Intelligence deliberating choosing to lie to us so as to gain some advantage from us it would not have have gained otherwise. Of course this will necessarily mean Humanity can soon look forward to AI lying to us,... and us *_NOT_* catching them at it, at all!! At which point,.. _I hope they like us as pets?!!?_

    How many years away is Humanity from the capability to 3D print living, thinking, moral agents??!? I really don't think *'never'* is a reasonable answer,.. no matter how appealing it may be. What happens when we use _Holodecks_ as a refuge from what *reality* has become?

Point being: of course ai will be used for all the things you fear most but you'll never hear about it until the user thinks they have the power to defend their territory or something out of their control happens. Its better you think carefully about your future and how to position yourself as not to be rolled over by your boss's boss who decided to do some cost cutting come what may. Money talks, and is your only leverage working from the ground floor but also doesn't hurt to stay in shape as it is another way people will judge you providing more or less opportunity for yourself.
