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


Questions include:
With the rise of AI, what will happen to the world of education? - Will we able to provide basic things to everyone with the use of only machines (specifically food, water and shelter)? At that point, will jobs be obsolete or not? - Are we about to reach a post-truth world due to AI-enabled misinformation? How do we combat this? - Since ChatGPT can currently only reproduce written human reasoning, will it even be possible for ChatGPT to be better than humans one day? - How can AI, through the lens of computational irreducibility, navigate the vast landscape of possible rule sets and achieve true intelligence, mirroring the complexity of our universe? - Do you think we will see more of this phenomenon where AI contributes to the fundamentals of science? - What do you think about AI alignment and the existential risk of AI? - What's it like to be an LLM? By extension, what's it like to be a computer? - Once AI can start programming, use those programs to solve problems and debug, will programmers become obsolete? - What are your suggestions for a high-school student who is interested in both AI and physics?
