“The daily grinding of evolution, as accelerated by technology, churns out more and more complex organisms, with higher rates of energy use, and with increasing specialization. Minds are the ideal way to express complexity, energy density, increasing specialization, expanding diversity — all in one system. Mindedness is what evolution produces. Mindedness is what technology wants, too.” -Kevin Kelly
Join Jason Silva every week as he freestyles his way into the complex systems of society, technology and human existence and discusses the truth and beauty of science in a form of existential jazz. New episodes every Tuesday.

This guy intellectually is ahead of its time at least 10 years . Incredible speech for its time
Well, we are here 10 years later.
who else is patiently waiting to see this guy in the news for domestic abuse.
No i don't think Robots are to be made..humans with emotions..pure emotions should manifest
But will our descendants have conscience like us?
LOL
First I scared of hearing "The human era will have ended" but than thinking of a much better way of "being"… As humans we have the weakest body in the world. And as humans, with our bodies and minds we just can perceive 3 dimensions even there the 4, 5, 6,…. in the universe. So if we sense higher dimensions with a much better body, mind, feeling or just a being, the end of human era doesn't sound that much scary. Yes "this is just evolution" 🙂 thank you J. S.!
"The human era will have ended. We will become our creations. It is evolution. We should not be scared." Thanks, you just scared the wits out of me. I do not want to become a robot, thank you very much.
I agree

"no reason to be afraid" until AI finds itself in deadly hands.
When will evolution reach singularity
1:23 "The human era will have ended"
Oh good now I certainly don't fear the future of AI.
What this guy says in this video is complete stupidity. AI doesn't work like that, it cannot "learn" like a human, and unless someone has a really, really good idea of how to make it happen, it will never happen. There is no "evolution" to that "intelligence", because AI is NOT intelligent, it's only programmed decision making with some "learning" (ie: this kind of decision is bad because it fails every time it's taken, so the program will do it less often). The only advantage a computer has over a human is the extreme speed of decision making. Programming AI, even basic ones, is very difficult and you can only program something that is way, way, WAY less intelligent than you are. It's annoying how everyone who talks this way of AI don't know anything of real AI.
I believe we should utilise Ai however it should be narrow Ai meaning the equipment shouldn't be self aware or self learning. Humans should always have a grip on the technology (regularly regulating) otherwise our race will be left behind and inferior. At the rate of expansion of a computer we would be comparable to an ants intellect in less than a century.
Well the first chance I get to merge my mind with AI, sure why not, my stupid fleshy body will die anyway.
Thanks Jason, my brain is now on fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Although I appreciate the point it's a little bit more complicated than that Jason. The argument is just a bit half baked in my opinion.
this makes me laugh when I hear the word our creation!! sure we can invent and make creative thoughts & Acts!! maybe create some sweat in the process… but we can never create creation!! Creation is making something to exist from nothing… not just using existing energy and changing it to one form to another or making something new from existing materials that's called inventing stuff.
Look at the self interest in government…
Amazing quote of Kevin Kelley on A.I. <3
That starting quote is awakening!
thank you
What will happen to humanity when Robots take away all the jobs, do all the thinking. What will independent thinking robots need to keep humans around for? Zoo animals maybe if they will allow programed empathy to be and remain a part of their programing. Roboticist's, There is no one dumber or unethical than people working to put them selves, their families and neighbors out of work. Even menial repetitive task jobs and slavery are better than homelessness, starvation.
I really love your positivism concerning the coming of AI and what you all call the Singularity. This humanity so much loved is but a step. Some forces would like us to keep already outperformed institutions, ways of being and ideas that would no longer apply and as a matter of fact do not apply now. Embracing change has always been the way.
This isn't just evolution. Once we have machines with common sense that can think for themselves, create their own things, and are thousands of times smarter than us, we all are going to be a second class global citizens. That's when a multi planetary life will be needed, when we will be seeking asylum in other planets. Not sure if we're even gonna make it that far, because we don't know what these machines will be capable of creating…
i like u dude u r smart 😀
I just shitted myself from trembling in fear
Stuff is being automated? Good. Who really wants to do mind numbing tasks anyway?
I love all people who assume Silva isn't just speculating. At this point most of what he talks about is just as relevant as whatever reason you disagree with him for. Get over yourself.
Fear is a waste of energy just accept the ending of humanity. Resistance is futile
I will rather die knowing that AI has conquer the universe than starve to death on earth because we can't make this work.
the fear comes from thinking that humanity will be wiped out if this 'evolution' occurs, our intelligence will become very inferior to that of the AI. and we wont be the most powerful thing in the known universe anymore and hence be wiped out or maybe as you put it, we become them. i think this is a big issue and there is a lot of in between content which is hard to imagine and foresee, things we dont understand yet such as consciousness. the point is humanity needs to tread carefully, and not be wildly enthusiastic about certain advances just yet.
