Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the future of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa


Questions include: Do you have any plans, and when can we expect to see a S. Wolfram AI chatbot with voice? - Do you think each AI iteration of the person would be similar at the start and then diverge in personality/intelligence as they continued to "live" and develop? - ​​Are you comfortable with the average quality and correctness of AI-generated answers and commentary? - ​​Due to the success of nature-inspired computing, I am really wondering if like our best bet is creating full-on human replicas, meaning similar learning experiences/processes... - I like the architecture of having many bots with like a base that confer and like upload their findings to a global knowledgebase, then disperse on like new assignments or what have you after returning. - ​​Do you think human brains compress data in a lossy way, and will future AI brains also have to use lossy compression methods to be more human like? Or would AI perfect memory be more desirable? - ​​Could an element printer theoretically work, e.g. one feeds it with carbon atoms and it prints out an arbitrary element? - ​​Can you explain the quantum LLMs idea, and what advantage exists in applying multi-computation, if any, to LLMs? - What would an AI look like that is rewarded based on questioning rather than answering? - ​​What do you think will happen when we understand prime numbers to their fullest? And when we can translate this knowledge to AI?
