We stigmatize mistakes. And we're now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make.

Do schools kill creativity? — Ken Robinson · TED

And there's a reason. Around the world, there were no public systems of education, really, before the 19th century.

Do schools kill creativity? — Ken Robinson · TED

And I started wondering, are there things that I can do, systems that I can put into place, that will prevent bad things from happening?

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

is to recognize that under stress you're not going to be at your best, and you should put systems in place. And there's perhaps no more stressful a situation

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

and one of the things that happens at that moment is a whole bunch on systems shut down. There's an evolutionary reason for this.

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be, to put systems in place that will help minimize the damage, or to prevent the bad things from happening in the first place.

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED · TED

Neurotransmitter chemicals course through the brain circuitry, electromagnetic fields sweep through the cortex like weather systems. Even a single neuron is such a beautiful biological machine.

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED · TED

Unlike algorithms, living systems are deeply embedded in flows of energy and matter, and they continually regenerate their own conditions for existence

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED · TED

Now there are already influential groups advocating that AI systems should have their own rights based mainly on the idea that they might be or become conscious.

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED · TED

as I think it is, then by extending rights to these systems, we’d be sacrificing our ability to control, to regulate them

Why AI Isn’t Going to Become Conscious | Anil Seth | TED · TED

for the people who are involved in decision-making in our daily lives. And secondly, it requires systems that don't necessarily overregulate so that they can block the use of AI

They typically speak English language. BS: I mean, speaking of just the sheer compute requirements of these systems, let's talk about scale briefly.

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

let's talk about scale briefly. You know, I kind of think of these AI systems as Hungry Hungry Hippos. They seemingly soak up all the data and compute that we throw at them.

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

And they take the tools from one and they apply it to another. Today, our systems cannot do that. If we can get through that, I'm working on this,

Yoshua Bengio gave a compelling talk earlier this week, advocating that AI labs should halt the development of agentic AI systems that are capable of taking autonomous action.

Another one would be direct access to weapons. Another one would be that the computer systems decide to exfiltrate themselves, to reproduce themselves without our permission.

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

generally known as "human in the loop" or "meaningful human control." You don't want systems that are not under our control. It's a line we can't cross.

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

before we move on to the dreams, is, to sort of moderate these AI systems at scale, right, there's this weird tension in AI safety

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

So proof of personhood is a hot topic. Moderating these systems at scale is a hot topic. How do you view that trade-off?

The AI Revolution Is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt | TED · TED

and we hit that point of recursive self-improvement. AI systems take on a vast majority of economically productive tasks. In your mind, what are humans going to do in this future?

We need fundamentally different capabilities. We need autonomous systems that can augment our existing manned fleets.

BS: You're right, if the information is available to you, why not create systems that actually take advantage of it? If you blind yourself to it, the result could be far more catastrophic.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

There are people who will say all sorts of things. You know, something like 10 percent of the world uses our systems now a lot. And we are very proud of the safety track record.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

Of course the stakes increase, and there are big challenges. But the way we learn how to build safe systems is this iterative process

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

this is something we have to address. And I think as we move into these agentic systems, there's a whole big category of new things we have to learn to address.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

there's a whole big category of new things we have to learn to address. CA: So let's talk about agentic systems and the relationship between that and AGI. I think there's confusion out there, I'm confused.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

I might accept that as a definition of AGI. But the current systems, you can't say like, hey, go do this task for my job,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

But we all agree it’s going to go way, way past that. You know, to whatever you want to call these systems that get much more capable than we are.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

And then we kind of all said, OK, we’ll build anti-fraud systems, and we can get comfortable with this. I think people are going to be slow to get comfortable with agentic AI

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

which is that even if some people are comfortable with it and some aren't, we are going to have AI systems clicking around the internet. And this is, I think,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

the most interesting and consequential safety challenge we have yet faced. Because AI that you give access to your systems, your information, your ability to click around on your computer,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

CA: What is the right policy proposal? SA: But, I do think the idea that as these systems get more advanced and have legitimate global impact,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

We learned a lot about how it goes and the realities of what these systems were going to take from capital. But I think we've been,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

for all of the reasons that you asked earlier, as we weren't sure about the impact these systems were going to have and how to make them safe,

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

But now I think we have a better understanding, as a world, and it is time for us to put very capable open systems out into the world. If you invite me back next year, you will probably yell at me

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

If you invite me back next year, you will probably yell at me for somebody who has misused these open-source systems, and say, "Why did you do that?"

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Talks ChatGPT, AI Agents and Superintelligence — Live at TED2025

And that the key to do that is that you have to start with the actual information systems, that that's the pathway to do that.
