Nick Bostrom : How civilization could destroy itself — and 4 ways we could prevent it


Nick Bostrom·TED2019
How civilization could destroy itself — and 4 ways we could prevent it
Summary
The speaker’s story is always and really difficult, so l remembered that the previous one was also difficult. It’s because l think that he knows about many things that we don’t know but he can’t tell us.

The speaker is a philosopher who comprehends the computer. This time, he seemed to release a new book “Simulation”. This will deserve the campaign.

On his assumption, the computer level seems to be the same as a human soon. The computer can learn and act like humans. And then, can humans continue controlling them at that time?  A lot of people died in the war. You can say that its computer doesn’t go to war definitely, can’t you? The computer is created by humans. This civilization is also created by humans, though, it could destroy itself.
Thus, the title is How civilization could destroy itself. Without noticing, we will set a button that no one knows where and when we would make a mistake.

The speaker suggests 4 ways that we could prevent it.
One is not to restrict technological development and it shouldn’t have strict rules but should democratize.
Second is to reduce the number of people who are incentivized to destroy the world, it’s thought that it won’t work well, though.
The third is to stop the danger in real time. The world requires ubiquitous surveillance and everybody would be monitored all the time.
The final is that the world has to correspond with the macro and global level problems.

I think that in the story when we could extract all the balls from the urn, we’d benefit greatly, it won’t be true. I'm gonna read the book.
