AI’s Boundaries and Human Creativity: A Conversation with Dr. Robert J. Marks
In this recent radio interview, prefaced by a brief introduction from Discovery Institute representative Dr. Tom Winkler, host Mark Davis speaks with Dr. Robert Marks, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Baylor University and director of the Discovery Institute’s Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. Marks discusses his book Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence Never Will, which argues that AI has limitations and will never replicate human creativity, consciousness, and understanding. Marks also discusses the potential benefits and risks of AI, noting that while it may disrupt some industries, it can also free up time for people to pursue more enjoyable activities. He cautions against blindly handing over important decision-making to AI without human oversight, and highlighted the challenges of dealing with bias in AI systems. Marks talks about his work on the case for killer robots, arguing that the development of autonomous weapons is necessary to maintain military superiority in the face of adversaries pursuing similar technologies.
