Robert Miles

Rob Miles is a science communicator focused on AI Safety and Alignment.
He is probably my biggest influence. He was the first person to bring the complicated AI Safety concepts to the general public, many years ago, way before the LLM revolution started, in a time where today’s reality seemed sci-fi and the whole Alignment Study was an academic curiosity, a cool way for intellectuals to tickle the most rational and analytical parts of their brain.
His Youtube Channel Robert Miles AI Safety and his interviews at Computerphile popularized the frontier ideas coming from LessWrong, Machine Intelligence Research Institute, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk and leading AI Labs like OpenAI and DeepMind.

Robert Miles is a true hero of the AI Safety saga and an inspiring force for lethalintelligence.ai.

Robert Miles–Youtube, Doom

August 19, 2022 6:00 pm

Robert Miles has been making videos for Computerphile, then decided to create his own Youtube channel about AI Safety. Lately, he's been working on a Discord Community that uses Stampy the chatbot to answer Youtube comments. We also spend some time discussing recent AI Progress and why Rob is not that optimistic about humanity's survival.

Ep 12 - Education & advocacy for AI safety w/ Rob Miles (YouTube host)

March 9, 2024 1:05 am

We speak with Rob Miles. Rob is the host of the “Robert Miles AI Safety” channel on YouTube, the single most popular AI alignment video series out there — he has 145,000 subscribers and his top video has ~600,000 views. He goes much deeper than many educational resources out there on alignment, going into important technical topics like the orthogonality thesis, inner misalignment, and instrumental convergence.

Through his work, Robert has educated thousands on AI safety, including many now working on advocacy, policy, and technical research. His work has been invaluable for teaching and inspiring the next generation of AI safety experts and deepening public support for the cause.

Prior to his AIS education work, Robert studied Computer Science at the University of Nottingham.

We talk to Rob about:

* What got him into AI safety
* How he started making educational videos for AI safety
* What he's working on now
* His top advice for people who also want to do education & advocacy work, really in any field, but especially for AI safety
* How he thinks AI safety is currently going as a field of work
* What he wishes more people were working on within AI safety

Is AI Safety a Pascal's Mugging?

May 16, 2019 4:11 pm

An event that's very unlikely is still worth thinking about, if the consequences are big enough. What's the limit though?

Do we have to devote all of our resources to any outcome that might give infinite payoffs, even if it seems basically impossible? Does the case for AI Safety rely on this kind of Pascal's Wager argument? Watch this video to find out that the answer to these questions is 'No'.

Correction: At 6:34 the embedded video says 3^^^3 has 3.6 trillion digits, but that's actually only the size of 3^^4. 3^^^3 is enormously larger.

What can AGI do? I/O and Speed

October 17, 2017 12:20 pm

Suppose we make an algorithm that implements general intelligence as well as the brain. What could that system do?
It might have better input and output than a human, and probably could be run faster...

Why Not Just: Think of AGI Like a Corporation?

December 23, 2018 10:01 pm

Corporations are kind of like AIs, if you squint. How hard do you have to squint though, and is it worth it?
In this video we ask: Are corporations artificial general superintelligences?

The other "Killer Robot Arms Race" Elon Musk should worry about

Elon Musk is in the news, talking to the UN about autonomous weapons. This seems like a good time to explain one area where we don't quite agree about AI Safety.

Holy Grail of AI (Artificial Intelligence) - Computerphile

May 1, 2015 5:19 pm

Audible free book: http://www.audible.com/computerphile
Why can't artificial intelligence do what humans can? Rob Miles talks about generality in intelligence.

Sean Comments/Questions (For those who can't hear him clearly)
11secs: "This was the hill climbing algorithm?"
2min 40sec: "recently with Professor Brailsford we did the idea of The Turing Test, so that strikes me from what you're saying that that's a very specific domain: pretending to be a human talking?"
4min 2sec: "is that like 'humans have been changing the world to meet their needs?' "
4min 40sec: "but on a bigger scale, as you say on a grander scale, building a dam, and er irrigating a field, and putting a pipe to your house and allowing you to have a tap {fawcett} is doing the same thing but on a grander scale."
6min 39sec: "all these dimensions, if you try to brute force infinite dimensions you're gonna fall over pretty quickly?"
6min 45sec: "change the world" (in ref to him picking up the drink!)

AI That Doesn't Try Too Hard - Maximizers and Satisficers

August 23, 2019 5:05 pm

Powerful AI systems can be dangerous in part because they pursue their goals as strongly as they can. Perhaps it would be safer to have systems that don't aim for perfection, and stop at 'good enough'. How could we build something like that?

Is AI Safety a Pascal's Mugging?

May 16, 2019 4:11 pm

An event that's very unlikely is still worth thinking about, if the consequences are big enough. What's the limit though?

Do we have to devote all of our resources to any outcome that might give infinite payoffs, even if it seems basically impossible? Does the case for AI Safety rely on this kind of Pascal's Wager argument? Watch this video to find out that the answer to these questions is 'No'.

Correction: At 6:34 the embedded video says 3^^^3 has 3.6 trillion digits, but that's actually only the size of 3^^4. 3^^^3 is enormously larger.

How to Keep Improving When You're Better Than Any Teacher - Iterated Distillation and Amplification

March 11, 2019 2:14 pm

[2nd upload] AI systems can be trained using demonstrations from experts, but how do you train them to out-perform those experts? Can this still be done even without clear win/loss criteria? And how do you do it safely?

This video was based on work including:
"Supervising strong learners by amplifying weak experts" by Paul Christiano, Buck Shlegeris, Dario Amodei (https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.08575)
https://openai.com/blog/amplifying-ai-training/

Why Not Just: Think of AGI Like a Corporation?

December 23, 2018 10:01 pm

Corporations are kind of like AIs, if you squint. How hard do you have to squint though, and is it worth it?
In this video we ask: Are corporations artificial general superintelligences?

Experts' Predictions about the Future of AI

March 31, 2018 2:12 pm

When will AI systems surpass human performance? I don't know, do you? No you don't. Let's see what 352 top AI researchers think.

[CORRECTION: I mistakenly stated that the survey was before AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol. The 12 year prediction was for AI to outperform humans *after having only played as many games as a human plays in their lifetime*]

What can AGI do? I/O and Speed

October 17, 2017 12:20 pm

Suppose we make an algorithm that implements general intelligence as well as the brain. What could that system do?
It might have better input and output than a human, and probably could be run faster...

The other "Killer Robot Arms Race" Elon Musk should worry about

August 22, 2017 1:19 pm

Elon Musk is in the news, talking to the UN about autonomous weapons. This seems like a good time to explain one area where we don't quite agree about AI Safety.

The Article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/killer-robots-arms-race-tesla-elon-musk-and-google-mustafa-suleyman-un-autonomous-weapons-a7903906.html

The clip at 2:54 is from a Y Combinator interview: "Elon Musk : How to Build the Future": https://youtu.be/tnBQmEqBCY0

Why Not Just: Raise AI Like Kids?

July 22, 2017 3:58 pm

Newly made Artificial General Intelligences are basically like children, right? So we already know we can teach them how to behave, right? Wrong.
