A Brief But Spectacular take on the future of CRISPR
Jennifer Doudna:
Nobel Laureate Biochemist: Early in my work on CRISPR, I had a dream one night about a colleague of mine asking me to explain CRISPR to a friend of his. And the friend turned out to be Hitler. And it was Hitler with a pig face and a horrifying look that made me imagine some of the worst aspects of what genome editing could bring about if it were used irresponsibly.
And I woke up from that dream thinking that it was so critical that we as scientists think together about how we use our technologies responsibly.
DeepMind’s CEO said there’s a chance that AI could become self-aware in the future
The CEO of Alphabet-owned AI research lab, DeepMind Technologies, spoke about the potential of artificial intelligence in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” which aired on Sunday.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told CBS that he thinks that AI might one day become self-aware.
“Philosophers haven’t really settled on a definition of consciousness yet but if we mean self-awareness, and these kinds of things … I think there’s a possibility that AI one day could be,” he said.
