okay all right well good evening everybody welcome Elon thanks for

Хорошо, ладно, добрый вечер всем. Добро пожаловать, Илон, спасибо, что пришли. Спасибо, что пригласили нас. Мы чувствуем себя очень привилегированными, мы рады, что вы здесь. Итак, я начну с нескольких вопросов, а потом мы откроем дискуссию. Позвольте мне сразу перейти к сути: Билл Гейтс сказал

being here thank you for having me we feel we feel very privileged we're excited to have you right

so I'm going to start with some questions

and then we're going to open it up let me get straight into it so

Bill Gates said there is no one in our time who

has done more to push the bounds of science innovation than

you well that's it that's a nice thing to have anyone say about you nice coming from bill gates

but oddly enough

when it comes to ai actually for around a decade you've almost been doing the opposite

and saying hang on you need to think about what we're doing

and what we're pushing here and what do we do to make this safe and

and actually maybe we shouldn't be pushing as faster as hard

as we are like i mean you've been doing it for a decade like what was it

that caused you to think about it that way

and you know why do we need to be worried yeah

i've been I've been somewhat of a Cassandra for quite a while, where people would, I would tell people, like, we should really be concerned about AI.

They'd be like, what are you talking about?

Like, I've never really had any experience with AI.

But since I was immersed in technology, I have been immersed in technology for a long time, I could see it coming.

So, but I think this year was, there have been a number of breakthroughs.

You know, the point at which someone can see a dynamically created video of themselves,

You know, like, somebody could make a video of you saying anything in real time or me.

And so there's sort of the deep -baked videos, which are really incredibly good.

In fact, sometimes more convincing than real ones.

Deep real.

And then, obviously, things like ChatGPT were quite remarkable.

I saw GPT -1, GPT -2, GPT -3, GPT -4, the whole sort of lead up to that.

So it was easy for me to kind of see where it's going.

If you just sort of extrapolate the points on a curve and assume that trend will continue,

then we will have profound artificial intelligence and obviously at a level that far exceeds human intelligence.

So I'm glad to see at this point

that people are taking safety seriously and I'd like to say thank you for holding this AI safety conference.

I think actually it will go down in history as being very important.

I think it's really quite profound.

And I do think overall that the potential for artificial intelligence, AI, to have most likely a positive effect

and to create a future of abundance where there is no scarcity of goods and services.

But it is somewhat of the magic genie problem, where if you have a magic genie that can grant all the wishes,

usually those stories don't end well.

Be careful what you wish for, including wishes.

So you talked a little bit about the summit, and thank you for being engaged in it, which has been great, and people enjoyed having you there.

Potter's been in this dialogue.

Now, one of the things that we achieved today in the meetings between the companies

and the leaders was an agreement that externally, ideally, governments should be doing safety testing of models before they're released.

I think this is something that you've spoken about a little bit.

It was something we worked really hard on because my job in government is to say, hang on, there is a potential risk here,

not a definite risk, but a potential risk of something that could be bad.

My job is to protect the country.

And we can only do that

if we develop the capability we need in our safety institute

and then go in and make sure we can test the models before they are released.

Delighted that that happened today, but what's your view on what we should be doing?

You've talked about the potential risk.

Again, we don't know.

But what are the types of things governments like ours should be doing to manage and mitigate against those risks?

Well, I generally think that it is good for government to play a role when the public safety is at risk.

So, really, for the vast majority of software, the public safety is not at risk.

I mean, if the app crashes on your phone or your laptop, it's not a massive catastrophe.

But when talking about digital superintelligence, I think, which does pose a risk to the public,

then there is a role for government to play to safeguard the interests of the public.

And this is, of course, true in many fields, you know, aviation, cars.

I deal with regulators throughout the world because of Starlink being communications,

rockets being aerospace, and cars being vehicle transport.

So I'm very familiar with dealing with regulators.

And I actually agree with the vast majority of regulations.

There's a few that I disagree with from time to time.

0 .1 % probably, or less than 1 % of regulations I disagree with.

So there is some concern from people in Silicon Valley who have never dealt with regulators before

and they think that this is going to just crush innovation and slow them down and be annoying.

And it will be annoying, it's true, they're not wrong about that.

But I think we've learned over the years that having a referee is a good thing.

And if you look at any sports game, there's always a referee.

And nobody's suggesting, I think, to have a sports game without one.

And I think that's the right way to think about this,

is for Govan to be a referee to make sure the sportsmanlike conduct and that the public safety is addressed,

that we care about public safety.

Because I think there might be, at times, too much optimism about technology.

And I say that as a technologist, so I ought to know.

And on balance, I think that the AI will be a forceful good,

most likely, but the probability of it going bad is not 0%.

Yeah.

So we just need to mitigate the downside potential.

And then how you talk about referee, and that's what we're trying to say.

Demis right there.

Yeah, well, there we go.

I mean, you know, we talk about this, and Demis and I discussed this a long time ago.

We're like literally facing right at it.

And actually, you know, Demis, to his credit and the credit of people in the industry, did say that to us.

I think, you know, Demis said it's not right that Demis and his colleagues are marking their own homework, right?

There needs to be someone independent, and that's why we've developed the Safety Institute here.

I mean, do you think governments can develop the expertise?

One of the things we need to do is say, hang on, you know, Demis, Sam, all the others have got a lot of very smart people doing this.

Governments need to quickly tool up capability -wise, personnel -wise, which is what we're doing.

I mean, do you think it is possible for governments to do that fast enough, given how quickly the technology is developing, or what do we need to do to make sure we do do it quick enough?

No, I think it's a great point you're making.

The pace of AI is faster than any technology I've seen in history by far.

And it seems to be growing in capability by at least five -fold, perhaps ten -fold per year.

It'll certainly grow by an order of magnitude next year.

Yeah.

So, and government isn't used to moving at that speed.

100

But I think even if there are not firm regulations, Even if there isn't an enforcement capability,

101

simply having insight and being able to highlight concerns to the public will be very powerful.

102

So even if that's all that's accomplished, I think that will be very, very good.

103

Okay.

104

Well, hopefully we can do better than that.

105

Hopefully, yeah.

106

No, but that's helpful.

107

Actually, we were talking before.

108

It was striking.

109

You're someone who spent their life in technology, living Moore's Law, and what was interesting over the last couple of days, he's talking to everyone who's doing the development of this,

110

and I think you concur with this, is just the pace of advancement here is unlike anything all of you have seen in your careers in technology.

111

Is that fair?

112

Because you've got these kind of compounding effects from the hardware and the data and the personnel.

113

Yeah.

114

I mean, the two, currently the two leading centers for AI development are the San Francisco Bay Area and the sort of London area.

115

And there are many other places where it's being done, but those are the two leading areas.

116

So I think if the United States and the UK and China are sort of aligned on safety,

117

that's all going to be a good thing.

118

Because that's where the leadership is generally.

119

Actually, you mentioned China there.

120

So I took a decision to invite China to summit over the last couple of days.

121

And it was not an easy decision.

122

A lot of people criticized me for it you know, my view is if you're going to try to have serious conversation, you need to.

123

But what were your thoughts?

124

You do business all around the world.

125

You just talked about it there.

126

Yeah.

127

Should we be engaging with them?

128

Can we trust them?

129

Is that the right thing to have done?

130

If China is not on board with AI safety, it's somewhat of a moot situation.

131

The single biggest objection that I get to any kind of AI regulation or sort of safety controls are, well, China's not going to do it,

132

and therefore they will just jump into lead and exceed us all

133

but but actually China is willing to participate in AI safety

134

and thank you for inviting them

135

and they you know I think I think we should thank China for attending

136

when I was

137

when I was in China earlier this year the my main

138

subject of discussion with this the leadership in China was AI safety

139

and saying that this is really something that they should care about.

140

And they took it seriously, and you are too, which is great.

141

And having them here, I think, was essential, really.

142

If they're not participants, it's pointless.

143

It's pointless, yeah.

144

And I think we were pleased.

145

They were engaged yesterday in the discussions and actually ended up signing the same communique that everyone else did, which is a good start, right?

146

And we need everyone to approach us in a similar way if we're going to have, I think, a realistic chance of resolving it.

147

I was going to tell you, you talked about innovation earlier and regulation being annoying.

148

There was a good debate today we had about open source, and I think you've kind of been a proponent of algorithmic transparency and making some of the X algorithms public.

149

And actually, we were talking about Jeffrey Hinton on the way in.

150

He's particularly been very concerned about open source models being used

151

by bad actors you've got a group of people who say they are critical to innovation happening in that distributed way.

152

Look, there's probably no perfect answer, and there is a tricky balance.

153

What are your thoughts on how we should approach this open source question, or where should we be targeting whatever regulatory or monitoring that we're going to do?

154

Well, the open source algorithms

155

and data tend to lag the closed source by six to 12 months

156

but so that so that but given the rate of improvement

157

that this actually therefore quite a big difference between the closed source and the and the open

158

if things are improving by a factor of let's say five

159

or more than being a year behind is your five times worse

160

so it's a pretty big difference and that might be actually an okay situation

161

but it's only will get to the point where you've about open source AI

162

that will start to approach human level intelligence or perhaps exceed it.

163

I don't know quite what to do about it.

164

I think it's somewhat inevitable that there will be some amount of open source, and I guess I would have a slight bias towards open source, because at least you can see what's going on.

165

Whereas closed source, you don't know what's going on.

166

Now, it should be said with AI that even if it's open source, do you actually know what's going on? because if you've got a gigantic data file and,

167

you know, sort of billions of data points or weights and parameters, you can't just read it and see what it's going to do.

168

It's a gigantic file of inscrutable numbers.

169

You can test it when you run it.

170

You can run a bunch of tests to see what it's going to do, but it's probabilistic as opposed to deterministic.

171

It's not like traditional programming where you've got very discrete logic

172

and the outcome is very predictable and you can read each line and see what each line is going to do.

173

A neural net is just a whole bunch of probabilities.

174

It sort of ends up being a giant comma -separated value file.

175

It's like, our digital god is a CSV file?

176

Really?

177

okay

178

that is kind of what it is that point you've just made is one

179

that we have been talking about a lot

180

because again conversations the people who are developing their technology make the point

181

that you've just made it is not like normal software where

182

there's predictability about inputs improving leading to this particular output improving

183

and as the models iterate

184

and improve we don't quite know what's going to come out the other end I think Demis would agree with that, which is why I think there is this bias

185

that we need to get in there while the training runs are being done, before the models are released to understand what is this new iteration brought about in terms of capability,

186

which it sounds like you would agree with.

187

I was going to shift gears a little bit.

188

You've talked a lot about human consciousness, human agency, which actually might strike people as strange, given that you are known for being such a brilliant innovator

189

and technologist but it's quite heartfelt when I hear you talk about it

190

and the importance of maintaining that agency in technology and preserving human consciousness.

191

Now, it kind of links to the thing I was going to ask is, when I do interviews or talk to people out and about in this job about AI, the thing that comes up most,

192

actually, is probably not so much the stuff we've been talking about, but jobs.

193

It's what does AI mean for my job?

194

Is it going to mean that I don't have a job or my kids are not going to have a job?

195

Now, my answer as a policymaker, as a leader, is actually AI is already creating jobs, and you can see that in the companies that are starting.

196

Also the way it's being used is a little bit more as a co -pilot, necessarily, versus replacing the person.

197

There's still human agency, but it's helping you do your job better, which is a good thing.

198

And as we've seen with technological revolutions in the past.

199

clearly there's change in the labor market the amount of jobs i was quoting an mit study today

200

that they did a couple of years ago something like 60 of the jobs at

201

that moment didn't exist 40 years ago so hard to predict

202

and my job is to create an incredible education system whether

203

it's at school whether it's retraining people at any point in their career

204

because ultimately if we've got a skilled population they'll be able to keep up with the pace of change

205

and have a good life but you know that it's still a concern

206

and you know you what would your kind of observation be on AI

207

and the impact on labor markets and people's jobs and how they should feel about that as they think about this?

208

Well, I think we are seeing the most disruptive force in history here.

209

You know, we have for the first time, we will have for the first time something that is smarter than the smartest human.

210

And that, I mean, it's hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed.

211

You can have a job if you want to have a job for sort of personal satisfaction, but the AI will be able to do everything.

212

So, I don't know if that makes people comfortable or uncomfortable.

213

You know, that's why I say if you wish for a magic genie, that gives you any wishes you you want, and there's no limit.

214

You don't have those three -wish limit, nonsense.

215

You just have as many wishes as you want.

216

So it's both good and bad.

217

One of the challenges in the future will be, how do we find meaning in life if you have a magic genie that can do everything you want?

218

I do think we, it's hard, when there's new technology, it tends to have, usually follow an S -curve.

219

In this case, we're going to be on the exponential portion of VS Code for a long time.

220

And you'll be able to ask for anything.

221

We won't have universal basic income.

222

We'll have universal high income.

223

So in some sense, it'll be somewhat of a leveler or an equalizer, because really, I think everyone will have access to this magic genie.

224

And you'll be able to ask any questions.

225

It'll certainly be good for education.

226

It'll be the best tutor and the most patient tutor.

227

there will be no shortage of goods

228

and services will be an age of abundance I think

229

if I'd recommend people read in banks the banks culture books

230

are played the best envisioning effect on probably they're definitely by

231

far the best envisioning of an AI future there's nothing even close.

232

So I'd recommend, really recommend Banks.

233

I'm a very big fan.

234

All these books are good.

235

Does not say which one, all of them.

236

So that'll give you a sense of what is a,

237

I guess, a fairly utopian or protopian future with AI.

238

Which is good from, as you said, it's a universal high income which is a nice phrase and that's it's good from a materialistic sense

239

abundance actually that it kind of then leads to the question

240

that you pose right I'm somebody who believes you know work gives you meaning a lot about

241

that as you know I think work is a good thing it you know gives people purpose in their lives

242

and if you then remove a large chunk of

243

that you know what does that mean and where do you get

244

that yeah you know where do you get that drive

245

that motivation that purpose I mean you're talking about it you you work a lot of hours

246

and you know as I was mentioning

247

when we were talking earlier I have to somewhat engage in deliberate suspension of disbelief

248

because when I'm putting so much blood sweat

249

and tears into a work project

250

and burning the you know 3 a .m oil then I'm

251

like wait why am I doing this I can just wait

252

for the AI to do it I'm just lashing myself for no reason yeah must be a glutton for

253

We call Demis and tell him to hurry up and then you can have a holiday, right?

254

It's a tricky thing because part of our job is to make sure

255

that we can navigate to that very largely positive place

256

that you're describing and help people through it between now

257

and then because these things bring a lot of change in the labor market as we've seen.

258

Yeah, I think it probably is generally a good thing

259

because there are a lot of jobs that are uncomfortable or dangerous or sort of tedious, and the computer will have no problem doing that.

260

They're happy to do that all day long.

261

So it's fun to cook food, but it's not that fun to wash the dishes.

262

But the computer's perfectly happy to wash the dishes.

263

I guess there is...

264

We still have...

265

sports like where humans compete in like the Olympics

266

and obviously a machine can can go faster than any human

267

but we still have we saw humans race against each other and

268

and have all you know have these sports competitions against each

269

other where even though the machines are better with visual I

270

guess competing to see who can be the best human at something

271

and people do find fulfillment in that

272

so I guess that's perhaps a good example of how even

273

when machines are faster than us stronger than us we still

274

find a way we still we still enjoy competing against other

275

humans to at least see who's the best human yeah that's a good that's a good analogy

276

and we've been talking a lot about managing the risks I just before we move on

277

and finish on AI is to talk a little bit about

278

the opportunities you're engaged in lots of different companies you're not being an obvious one

279

which is doing which is doing some exciting stuff I you touched on the thing

280

that I'm probably most excited about which is in education yeah

281

and i think many people will have seen sal khan's video

282

from earlier this year's ted talk about as you talked about

283

it's like personal tutor yeah an amazing personal tutor an amazing personal tutor

284

and we know the difference in learning having

285

that personalized tutor is incredible compared to classroom learning

286

so you can have every child have a personal tutor specifically for them

287

that then just evolves with them over time yeah

288

that could be extraordinary and so

289

that you know for me I look at I think gosh with

290

that is within reach at this point yeah

291

and that's one of the benefits I'm most excited about that

292

when you look at the landscape of things

293

that you see as possible what is it

294

that you know you are particularly excited about I think certainly

295

AI tutors are gonna be amazing that's already are I think there's also perhaps companionship

296

which may seem odd because how can the computer really be your friend

297

but if If you have an AI that has memory and remembers all of your interactions and has read everything, you're going to give it permission to read everything you've ever done,

298

so it really will know you better than anyone, perhaps even yourself, and where you can talk to it every day and those conversations build upon each other,

299

you will actually have a great friend.

300

As long as that friend can stay your friend and not get turned off or something.

301

Don't turn off my friends.

302

but I think that will actually be a real thing and

303

one of my sons has some learning disabilities has trouble making friends actually and I was like well

304

an AI friend would actually be great for him

305

that was a surprising answer that's actually worth reflecting on that's really interesting we're already seeing it actually as we deliver

306

psychotherapy anyway now doing far more by digitally and by telephone to people

307

and it's making a huge difference and you can see a world in

308

which actually you know AI can provide that social benefit to people

309

and just a quick question on on X

310

and then we should open it up to everybody you made a change

311

when you one of the many changes

312

but yeah one at one of the one of the chain love that letter yeah I've got a real thing about it.

313

You really do.

314

You really do.

315

One of the changes which kind of goes into the space that we have to operate in,

316

and this balance between free speech and moderation we grapple with as politicians, you were grappling with your own version of that.

317

And you moved away from a manual, human way of doing it, the moderation, to the community notes.

318

And I think it was an interesting change, right? it's not what everyone else has done it would be good you know what's what was the reasoning behind

319

that and why do you think that is a better way to do

320

that um yeah part of the problem is if you

321

if you empower people as sensors then well there's going to be some amount of bias they have um

322

and then whoever appoints the sensors is effectively in control of information

323

so then the idea behind community notes is well how do we have a consensus driven uh i mean

324

so it's not really censoring it

325

but consensus driven approach to truth uh how do we

326

or how do we how do we make things um the

327

least amount untrue like you can say like what you can't pass perhaps get to pure truth

328

but you can aspire to be more truthful um

329

so the the thing about community notes is it doesn't actually delete anything it simply adds context now

330

that context could be this thing is untrue for the following reasons.

331

But importantly, with community nodes, everything is open source, actually.

332

So you can see the software, every line of the software, you can see all of the data that went into a community node,

333

and you can independently create that community node.

334

So if you see manipulation of the data, you can actually highlight that and say, well, this...

335

that there appears to be some gaming of the system, and you can suggest improvements. So it's maximum transparency.

336

Transparency, yeah.

337

Which is, I think.

338

Combined with the kind of wisdom of the crowds and transparency to get to a better answer.

339

And really, one of the key elements of community notes is that in order for a note to be shown, people who have historically disagreed must agree.

340

And there is a bit of AI usage here.

341

So we'll populate a parameter space around each contributor to community notes.

342

And then a parameter space.

343

So everyone's got basically these vectors associated with them.

344

So it's not as simple as right or left.

345

It's saying it's several hundred vectors because things are more complicated than something right or left.

346

And then we'll do sort of inverse correlation say, like, okay, these people generally disagree, but they agree about this note.

347

Okay, so then that...

348

So then that gives the note credibility.

349

Okay.

350

Yeah, that's the core of it, and it's working quite well.

351

Yeah.

352

I've yet to see a note actually be present for more than a few hours that is incorrect.

353

So the batting average is extremely good.

354

And when I ask people, they'll say, oh, they're worried about community notes sort of being disinformation, like send me one.

355

And then they can't.

356

so I think it's quite good the general aspiration with the X platform is to inform

357

and entertain the public and to be as accurate as possible and as truthful as possible

358

even if someone doesn't like the truth people don't always like the truth not always

359

but that's the aspiration and I think

360

if we stay true to the truth then I think we'll find

361

that people use the system to learn what is going on and to I think actually truth pays.

362

So I think it'll be what, I mean, assuming you don't want to engage in self -delusion, then I think it's the smart move.

363

Excellent.

364

Very helpful.

365

Right.

366

Let's open it up to all our guests here.

367

We've got some microphones.

368

They'll come, put your hands up.

369

They'll come and find you we've got yes.

370

Go for it.

371

Thank you.

372

Good evening.

373

Alice Bentink from Entrepreneur First.

374

Thank you for a fascinating conversation.

375

I suppose a question for each of you.

376

Prime Minister, the UK has some of the best universities in the world.

377

We have the talent.

378

What will it take for the UK to be a real breeding ground for unicorn companies?

379

And Elon, being a founder in the UK is still a non -obvious career choice for the most exceptional technical talent.

380

What are the cultural elements that we need to put into place to change this?

381

Thank you both.

382

You want to go first?

383

Go for it.

384

Sure.

385

Well, you're right that there are cultural elements where the culture should celebrate creating new companies.

386

And there should be a bias towards supporting small companies because they're the ones that need nurturing.

387

The larger companies really don't need nurturing.

388

So just think of it sort of like a garden.

389

If it's a little sprout, it needs nurturing.

390

If it's a mighty oak, it doesn't need quite as much.

391

So I think that is a mindset change that is important.

392

But I should mention that London is,

393

you know, London and San Francisco or the Bay Area are really the two centers for AI.

394

So London is actually doing very well on that front.

395

I'd say the two leading locations on Earth.

396

San Francisco's probably ahead of London, but London's really very strong.

397

But London area.

398

Greater London.

399

Home county, I guess.

400

Keep going, keep going.

401

So I'm just saying objectively this is the case.

402

But you do need that to, you need the infrastructure, you need landlords who are willing to rent to new companies,

403

you need law firms and accountants that are willing to support new companies, and it's generally a mindset, it is a mindset change, and I think some of that is happening,

404

but I think really it's just culturally people need to decide this is a good thing.

405

Yeah, actually, well, thanks for what you said about the UK, it's something that we work hard on,

406

lots of people in the room are part of what makes this a fabulous place for of companies, including Alice.

407

So Alice, what I'd say is my job is to get all the nuts and bolts right, make sure that all of you starting companies can raise the capital that you need,

408

everything from your seed funding with our incredible EIS tax reliefs all the way through to your late -stage rounds, and we need reform of our pension funds,

409

and the Chancellor's got a bunch of incredible reforms to unlock.

410

capital from all the people who have it

411

and deploy it into growth equity right

412

that is a work in progress we're not there yet

413

but i think we're we're making we're making good progress we need talent we need people you know

414

so that means an education system that prioritizes the things

415

that matter and you've seen my reforms i go on about more maths more maths more maths um

416

but i think that is important but also attracting the best

417

and the brightest here if you look at our fastest growing companies in in this country

418

and i think it's probably the same in in the us

419

over half of them have a non -british founder right and

420

so that tells you we've got to be a place

421

that is open to the world's best and brightest entrepreneurial talent

422

so the visa regime that we've put in place i think does

423

that makes it easy for those people to come here

424

and then actually it's the thing

425

that we spent the beginning of the session talking about the regulation right making sure

426

that we've got a regulatory system that's pro -innovation

427

that yeah we've of course we always need guard rails on the things

428

that will worry us but we've got to create a space for people to innovate

429

and do different things you know those are all my jobs the thing

430

that is tougher is the thing that elon talked about

431

which is culture right it's how do you transpose

432

that culture from places like silicon valley across the world where

433

people are unafraid to give up the security of a regular

434

paycheck to go and start something and be comfortable with failure you you talk about

435

that a lot i think you talked about it more in

436

when you were playing games right but that you've got to be comfortable failing

437

and knowing that that's just part of the process and that is a It's a tricky cultural thing to do overnight, but it's an important part of, I think, creating that kind of environment.

438

Yeah, if you don't succeed with your first startup, it shouldn't be sort of a catastrophic career -ending thing.

439

It should be, you know, well, good.

440

I think generally it should be like, well, you gave it a good shot, you know, and now try again.

441

Exactly, yeah, and it's...

442

So, one thing I was going to mention is like, obviously creating a company is sort of a high -risk,

443

high -reward situation, but, and I don't know quite with how it works in the UK.

444

I think it's probably better than continental Europe.

445

But the stock options are very difficult in most parts of Europe.

446

I'm not sure how it is in the UK.

447

But if somebody's basically going to risk their life savings and the vast majority of startups fail,

448

so, I mean, you hear about the startups that succeed, but most companies are,

449

most startups consist of you know a massive amount of work followed by failure that's actually most most companies

450

and so it's a high risk higher award and and

451

so the higher award part does need to be there for it to make sense yeah i think

452

that was a very soft pitch for a tax policy

453

that i mean chancellor but actually i could tell you

454

so look a i agree and we have

455

so we have i think relative to certainly european countries

456

but certainly the us definitely california a much lower rate of capital gains tax okay right

457

so for those people who are risking

458

and growing something like we think the reward should be there at the end

459

so it's 20 capital gains tax rate um

460

and on stock options i don't know

461

if we've got anyone from index ventures in in the room

462

so you know index one of our leading vc funds here

463

okay they they do a regular report looking at most countries tax treatment of stock options yeah

464

and you know when i was chancellor you know treasury secretary equivalent you know We were pretty good, but we were fourth or fifth,

465

and I said, for exactly the reason that you mentioned, this has got to be the best place for innovators, we need to move that up.

466

And I think in the last iteration of that report, because of the changes that Jeremy and I have made, we have moved up to, I think, second from memory.

467

So hopefully that should give you and everyone else some comfort that we recognize that's important.

468

Because when people work hard and risk things, they should be able to enjoy the rewards.

469

High risk, high reward.

470

Yeah, and I think we very much have a tax system that supports that, and those are the values that, you know, I believe in, and I think most of us in this room probably do as well.

471

Right, next question.

472

I've got Seb in front of me, and then I'll come over here.

473

Go on, Seb.

474

Thanks very much.

475

We've talked about some really big ideas, global changing ideas.

476

I'm really interested, particularly in the context of creation of science and technology, super hubs and so on, How does that map onto the everyday lives of people living in,

477

say, Austin, Texas, to choose one around general, or in my case, Nottingham, East Midlands?

478

How do you see that evolving for people, you know, every day?

479

The sort of everyday effects of AI?

480

For context, Elon, so Seb runs our equivalent of CVS, right, or Walgreens.

481

And so, you know, actually I visited, right?

482

So he's got millions of people coming in his shops every day and it's making sure how do we make this relevant?

483

I think that's your question.

484

How is this relevant to that person?

485

You know, actually, I'll go first on that because I think it's a fair point.

486

I was just going over with the team a couple of things that we're doing because I was saying, like, well, how are we doing AI right now that it's making a difference to people's lives?

487

and we have this thing called gov .uk which is

488

which especially when we

489

when it happened several years ago was a pioneering thing all

490

the government information brought together on one website gov .uk and

491

so you need to get a driving license passport any interaction with government it was centralized

492

in a very easy relatively easy to use way uh better than most better than most yeah

493

so we are about so we're about to deploy ai across

494

that platform so that is something

495

that i think you know several million people a day use right

496

so a large chunk of the population is interacting with gov

497

.uk every single day to do all these day to day

498

tasks right every one of your customers is doing all those things

499

and so we're about to deploy AI into that to make

500

that whole process so much easier

501

because you know some people will be like look well I'm currently here

502

and I've lost my passport and my flights in five hours at the moment

503

that would require you know how many steps to figure out what you do yeah actually

504

when we deploy the ai it should be

505

that you could just literally say that

506

and boom boom boom boom this is what we're going to do walk you through it

507

and that's going to benefit millions and millions of people every single day right

508

because that's a very practical way in my seat

509

that i can start using this technology to help people in their day -to -day lives not just healthcare discoveries

510

and everything else that we're also doing

511

but i thought that's quite a powerful demonstration of literally your

512

day -to -day customer seeing actually their just day -to -day life get a little bit easier

513

because of something that you know elon demis

514

and others in this room have helped create yeah exactly the

515

the most immediate thing is just being able to ask um like having a very smart friend

516

that you can ask anything um you know ask how to make something how to solve any problem

517

and it'll tell you um so and obviously companies are going to adopt this

518

so i think maybe you'll have much better customer service, I guess, essentially, that'll probably be the first thing you notice.

519

And then we talked about education.

520

So having a tutor, so if you're trying to understand a subject, like having a phenomenal tutor on any subject,

521

that's really pretty much there already, almost.

522

I mean, we need to, obviously, AI needs to stop hallucinating before, you know, it can't give you...

523

I mean, we still have a little bit of the problem where it can give you an answer that's confidently wrong

524

with great grammar and, you know, bullet points and everything in citations that was not real.

525

So it has to be okay.

526

We need to make sure it's not giving you confidently wrong tutor answers.

527

But that's going to happen pretty quickly where it is actually correct. So, yeah.

528

I was going to say, for any parent who was homeschooling during COVID and realizing what their kids needed to be helped with, that will come as an enormous relief, I think.

529

Very, very good.

530

Right, have we got, let's go questions over here.

531

Who have we got?

532

Have we got any microphones?

533

Brent, are you there?

534

Perfect.

535

Hi, Brent Huberman.

536

So, you know, you've spoken eloquently about abundance and the age of abundance.

537

So it feels like, obviously, with AI, it's everything everywhere, everywhere, all at once.

538

But with robots, and to get the age of abundance, we'll need a lot of robots.

539

I know you're working on robots as well.

540

Are there sort of constraints that we should think of

541

and our politicians should be thinking of

542

that one country might get heavily behind in robots

543

that can do all these things and enter the age of abundance and therefore be at a strategic disadvantage?

544

Well, really anything that can be actuated by a computer is effectively a robot.

545

So you can think of, frankly, Tesla cars are robots on wheels.

546

Anything that's connected to the internet is effectively an endpoint actuator for artificial intelligence.

547

So you've got Boston Dynamics, obviously they've been making impressive robots for a while.

548

I think they're at this point mostly owned by Hyundai,

549

so I guess Hyundai is probably going to make robots that are humanoid and some rather interesting shapes that I wasn't anticipating,

550

like the one that has wheels and looks sort of like a kangaroo on wheels.

551

I'm going to show what that is.

552

Looks a little demanded, frankly.

553

But there's going to be all sorts of robots.

554

You've got the company Dyson in the UK, which I think does some pretty impressive things.

555

I think the UK will not be behind, actually, on that front.

556

UK also has ARM, which is really the best, one of the best, perhaps the best,

557

in chip design in the world.

558

Tesla uses a lot of ARM technology.

559

Almost everyone does, actually.

560

So I think UK is in a strong position.

561

Germany obviously makes a lot of robots, industrial robots.

562

I think generally countries that make robots of any kind, even if they seem somewhat conventional, will be fine.

563

I do think there is a safety concern, especially with humanoid robots, because at least the car can't chase you into this building,

564

not very easily, or chase you off a tree or, you know, you can sort of run up a flight of stairs and get away from a Tesla.

565

I think there's a Stephen King movie about that, if your car gets possessed.

566

So, but if you have a humanoid robot, it can basically chase you anywhere.

567

So I think we should have some kind of hardwired local cutoff that you can't update from the Internet.

568

So anything that can be software updated from the Internet obviously can be overridden

569

but if you have a local sort of off switch where you perhaps say a keyword

570

or something and then

571

that puts the robot into a safe state some kind of

572

localized safe state ability an off switch you know where you

573

don't have to get too close to the robot I don't know

574

so we do if we've got millions of these things going all over the place you're not selling it just you

575

No, I know.

576

I'm saying this is something we should be quite concerned about because if Robert can follow you anywhere,

577

then what if they just one day get a software update and they're not so friendly anymore?

578

Then we've got a James Cameron movie on our hands.

579

It's funny you say that because in our session that we had today, I would say who, they made exactly the same point right then so we're talking about,

580

they're talking about movies actually without mentioning James Cameron they're talking about James Cameron movies and they're saying, if you think about it it's not just those movies, but any of these movies,

581

trains subways, metros cars, buses, they said all these movies with the same plot fundamentally all end with the person turning it off,

582

right, or finding a way to shut the thing down, and they were making the same point that you were about the importance of actual physical off -switches, and so all the technology is great

583

but fundamentally this same movie is played out 50 times we've all watched it

584

and it all fundamentally you know you know the point I'm

585

referring to right it all ends in pretty much the same

586

way with someone finding a way to just yeah do the thing at

587

which is a kind of interesting

588

that you said a similar point right yeah it's not the it's not the obvious place you'd go to

589

but maybe that could be one of the tests for the AI we should say like

590

blank is your favorite James Cameron movie fill in the blank yeah excellent right um yes we got over there yep perfect

591

hi a question for you both um so i'm a founder of a ai

592

and ml scale up in the third center for ai

593

which is leeds in the north of england i'm a bit

594

biased um since the launch of chat gpt three months after

595

that we saw a real increase in phishing attacks using much

596

more sophisticated language patterns um what do we do to protect businesses consumers

597

that they trust this technology better and how do we bring them along that journey with us

598

well i think we shouldn't trust it that much actually um

599

it is actually quite quite a significant challenge

600

because we're getting to the point where even open source ai can pass human capture tests

601

so you know this is are you a human identify all the traffic lights in this picture, you're like, okay.

602

Yeah, it's going to have no problem doing that.

603

In fact, it'll do it better than a human and faster than a human.

604

So we're like, how do you, you know, at the point at which it's better, a better human, better passing human tests than humans, then, well, what tests actually make sense?

605

That is a real problem.

606

I don't actually have a good solution to it.

607

One of the things we're trying to figure out on the X platform is how to deal with

608

that because we really are at the point where even with open source, you know, readily available AI, you don't need to be sort of leading the field.

609

You can actually be better than humans at passing these tests.

610

And that's sort of why we think, well, perhaps we should sort of charge a dollar or a pound a year.

611

It's a very tiny amount of money, but it still makes it privately expensive to make a million bots.

612

So, and especially if you need a million payment methods, then you run out of sort of stolen credit cards pretty quickly.

613

So that's sort of where we're thinking, like, we might have to sort of just charge some very tiny amount of money, 0 .3 cents a day,

614

effectively, to deal with the onslaught of AI -powered bonds.

615

And that is still a growing problem, but it will be, I think, perhaps an insurmountable problem next year.

616

so and then you have to worry about well manipulation of information is making something seem very popular

617

when in fact it is not because it's getting boosted by all these likes

618

and and reposts from ai powered bots

619

so that's why i sort of think somewhat inevitably it leads

620

to some small payment in order to uh dramatically increase the cost of a bot um so i think i think Frankly,

621

I think probably any social media system that doesn't do that will simply be overrun by bonds.

622

I think my general answer would be we need to show

623

that we are on top of mitigating the risks so people can trust the technology.

624

That's what actually the last couple of days has been about

625

on the Safety Summit is just showing we're investing in the Safety Institute, having the people who can do the research on these things to figure out how we mitigate against them,

626

And we have to do it fast and we have to keep iterating it

627

because all of us probably in this room believe that the technology can be incredibly powerful, but we've got to make sure we bring people along that journey with us that we're handling the risks that are there.

628

And as I said, there's a job to do.

629

And the last couple of days, I think we make good progress on it because we want to focus on the positives and manage these things.

630

But that requires action.

631

And that's what the last couple of days have been about

632

your your story your analogy there was part of the research

633

that actually you know the team working on the task force here published

634

and presented yesterday i don't know if you saw it was uh

635

which is a essentially

636

that it was a using ai to do to create a ton of fake profiles on social media

637

and then infiltrate particular groups yeah with particular information yeah and And at the moment, that is to say, to your point, it's like cost -free.

638

It's getting to the point where it's like, really, you're going to have 100 for a penny sort of thing.

639

Ridiculous.

640

And if you think about some of these social networks at quite a neighborhood or town level, it's not that many fake profiles that you need to quickly create.

641

Suddenly they're everywhere, and there's some local issue that might be of importance.

642

And the team have run versions of how that would look like, and suddenly they're interacting with everybody and then spreading misinformation around.

643

Yeah, that's a real challenge.

644

Literally, as part of the research that we published on misinformation yesterday, it's a real challenge.

645

Yeah, exactly, and to your point, I mean, the images, you don't even need to steal somebody's picture, because that's traceable, but you can actually just,

646

say, create a new image of a person, realistic -looking, but doesn't exist, and then create a biography,

647

realistic, but doesn't exist, and do that en masse, and practically the only way to be able to tell is that the grammar is too good.

648

to give away no typhos? come on

649

I'm getting waved at

650

because I think we are out of time I know we take one very brief last question

651

and let's make a good one yes sir, go on, you're right in front of me, go on thank you for the opportunity Elon, question for you

652

related to X platform are there simple things we can do especially

653

when it comes to visual media you alluded to the fact

654

that it's fairly straightforward and effectively free to make people like yourself say and do things that you never said or did.

655

Can we do something like cryptographically signed media?

656

I'm from Adobe.

657

We're working on this project.

658

Twitter was a member.

659

Love to see X come back.

660

Digitally signed media to indicate not only what was created by AI, but what came from a camera, what was real, to imbue a sense of trust in media that can go viral.

661

That sounds like a good idea, actually.

662

Some way of authenticating would be good.

663

so yeah that sounds like a good idea we should probably do it

664

there you go

665

actually on that point so I've already this is particularly pertinent for people in my job

666

and I've already had a situation happen to me with a doctored image that goes everywhere negative,

667

by the time everyone realises well that's fake and we should stop sending it the damage is done

668

and actually we were again reflecting today

669

if you think next year you've got elections in you know

670

i think you know the us india i think indonesia um probably here there you go massive news um

671

and actually you've got just an enormous chunk of the world's population is voting next year right

672

and you've got eu elections as well yeah you know actually

673

just these issues are right in front of us you know

674

next year is where big elections across the globe probably the

675

first set of elections where this has been a real issue yeah

676

so figuring out how we manage

677

that is I think mission critical for the people who want

678

the integrity of our democracy yeah I mean it's quite interesting

679

like the Pope in the puffer jacket have you seen

680

that one that's amazing

681

but I mean I still run into people who think that's

682

real I'm like well what are the odds he's wearing a pop a jacket in July in Rome, you know, be sweating.

683

But it actually looked cool.

684

Quite dashing, I have to say.

685

In fact, I think AI fashion is going to be a real thing.

686

So I've been doing gloom.

687

We live in the most interesting times, and I think this is, it is 80 % likely to be good and 20 % bad,

688

and I think if we're cognizant and careful about the bad part, on balance, actually, it will be the future that we want, or the future that is preferable.

689

And it actually will be somewhat of a leveler, an equalizer, in the sense that, you know, I think everyone will have access to goods and services and education.

690

And so, you know, I think probably it leads to more human happiness.

691

So I guess I'd probably leave on an optimistic note.

692

Perfect.

693

Yeah.

694

Well, that is a great note to end on.

695

I think, you know, we all want that better future.

696

We think it's there.

697

The promise of it is certainly there.

698

Lots of people in this room, including yourselves, are working hard to make it happen.

699

Our job in government is to make sure it happens safely.

700

But on the basis of this conversation in the last couple of days, I'm certainly leaving more confident that we can make that happen.

701

It's been a huge privilege and pleasure to have you here.

702

Thank you very much for having me.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
