Surveys [00:01:13] show there is a wave of dissatisfaction and an increase in [00:01:17] stress, sadness and frustration sweeping the [00:01:20] world. In "How to Get Out of the [00:01:23] are separate from Hole", journalist Andrés Oppenheimer shares innovative [00:01:26] strategies to combat unhappiness. With interviews with [00:01:29] the world's leading gurus of the new science of [00:01:32] happiness, he tells us how countries, companies and [00:01:36] people are using artificial intelligence and [00:01:39] positive psychology to increase their life [00:01:43] satisfaction. Now available in bookstores and online [00:01:46] stores. [00:01:54] Hello, I'm Endenheim. The topic of the moment worldwide, [00:01:58] perhaps the number one topic is: the panic that has spread after warnings [00:02:02] from several former employees of major tech companies that artificial [00:02:06] day, that is, what intelligence could end humanity, not [00:02:10] in 100 years, but in the coming years. Some have [00:02:13] said that an artificial intelligence model could get out of [00:02:17] control and hack an atomic power plant or [00:02:20] biological weapons as early as in the next 10 years. [00:02:24] So, the big question is, are these [00:02:27] warnings realistic or are they exaggerated? And do [00:02:32] 12 a.m. and 6 those who make them have ulterior motives? It's not an academic question. The [00:02:37] Independence at 9:30 in the panic broke out after a real event, when in [00:02:40] July, artificial intelligence agents from OpenAI, the parent [00:02:43] company of Chat GPT, penetrated [00:02:46] the internet and hacked the tech company Hugging [00:02:49] Face. OpenAI acknowledged the incident and said it would strengthen its [00:02:53] security. But then, a few weeks ago, the alarms went off [00:02:57] again when the former researcher resigned [00:03:04] from his position citing fears that the artificial [00:03:07] intelligence industry is in a race towards a super [00:03:10] intelligence and that this will endanger our lives, he said [00:03:14] accurate and timely information on on a social network that people [00:03:17] control could mean the end of who are inside artificial intelligence companies believe [00:03:20] that there is a great possibility that artificial [00:03:24] intelligence, and I quote, "could [00:03:26] kill us all" before the end of this... [00:03:30] and I close the quote. And more recently, several [00:03:33] executives and employees of these companies said that indeed there [00:03:37] is fear within the industry that artificial [00:03:41] you pay attention to and gives you a lot of intelligence will get out of control and cause a [00:03:44] catastrophe. Today we will start the program by asking a [00:03:48] well-known artificial intelligence expert if the [00:03:51] end of the world is coming, if what they are saying is [00:03:55] exaggerated, and then [00:03:58] we will change the subject and talk with the Instagram and Facebook [00:04:02] software engineer, who was a witness for the prosecution of several [00:04:05] states in the recent lawsuit against Meta, the [00:04:09] parent company of Facebook and Instagram. The [00:04:12] lawsuit accused Meta of having intentionally designed its [00:04:16] platforms to hook children and [00:04:20] adolescents to screens, contributing to a mental [00:04:23] health crisis among young people. The [00:04:26] lawsuit, which was worldwide news, ended with an out-of-court [00:04:30] settlement by which Meta will have to pay up to 18 [00:04:33] billion dollars and make changes to Instagram and [00:04:37] Facebook to better protect minors. The company explicitly [00:04:40] said it did not admit to having [00:04:43] roulette, putting a gun to your done anything wrong, but as part of the agreement, it agreed to do several [00:04:46] things, for example, set a 2-hour daily limit [00:04:50] for screen time for minors under [00:04:53] 17 years old on its social [00:04:56] comply with networks. But the big question is, will these measures be enough? [00:05:00] Will the wave of anxiety and [00:05:03] depression among youth be [00:05:06] reduced with this? There are still many things to do. We will ask all this and much [00:05:10] more to the former engineer. The former engineer who was the main [00:05:14] witness against the company in the trial. Well, [00:05:18] let's start with the first topic, the global panic about the possibility that artificial [00:05:21] intelligence will end humanity in very few years. [00:05:25] We have with us Stewart [00:05:29] the Association for the Safe and Ethical Use of Artificial [00:05:31] Intelligence and professor of computer science at the [00:05:35] University of California at Berkeley. Let's go with him. [00:05:39] Professor Russell, thank you for being with us. Well, let's get [00:05:42] to the point. Do you think these warnings about [00:05:45] a possible catastrophe due to artificial intelligence are [00:05:49] justified or are they exaggerated? How [00:05:52] concerned are you about all of this? First [00:05:56] of all, I think it's important for people to know that these [00:05:59] concerns are not new. The CEOs [00:06:02] of major artificial intelligence companies [00:06:06] have been saying this quite consistently, [00:06:09] even before their own companies existed. [00:06:13] So it's clear that it's not about inflating their stock [00:06:16] prices, as some argue, because they were saying [00:06:19] it even before they had stocks. The history of [00:06:22] computing goes back at least to 1951. [00:06:26] Alan Turing, founder of computing and one of the first to [00:06:30] conceive of artificial intelligence, warned in [00:06:33] 1951 that machines would likely [00:06:37] take control if we managed to create machines more intelligent than [00:06:40] humans, and the reason is quite obvious, right? [00:06:44] Our intelligence gives us power over the world and all other [00:06:47] species on Earth, and if we create systems more intelligent than [00:06:51] us, then they will be more powerful than us, and how [00:06:55] can we maintain power forever over entities much more [00:06:58] powerful than us? Obviously, it's a difficult [00:07:02] or impossible problem. This is basically what Alan Turing was telling [00:07:06] us back in 1951. [00:07:08] This is what the CEOs of the companies have been telling [00:07:12] us. Dario Amodei from Anthropic, for example, estimated a [00:07:16] risk of human extinction of up to 25%. [00:07:20] So, there are two questions. Will we be able to create artificial [00:07:24] intelligence systems with that level of capability, and do we have a [00:07:27] solution to maintain control over them [00:07:30] forever? The answer to the first question, most would [00:07:34] say, seeing the pace of progress, is yes, [00:07:37] we will be able to create systems with that level of [00:07:40] capability. Do we want a solution to the control [00:07:44] problem? The answer is no, companies openly [00:07:47] admit that they don't know how to control even the systems [00:07:51] they have now, much less systems that will be much [00:07:54] more intelligent than human beings. You have [00:07:58] been a skeptic about the proposals of Dario Amodei and others [00:08:02] to slow down the race among companies [00:08:05] towards artificial superintelligence. You said that the [00:08:08] proposal to reduce the speed of this race [00:08:12] is like going slower towards a [00:08:16] cliff. Please explain that. Yes, [00:08:20] well, given the argument I just made that creating [00:08:23] machines much more intelligent than human beings and then losing [00:08:29] the human race, if we are going full speed towards that [00:08:32] goal, then we are going full speed towards a [00:08:35] cliff, and saying, "Well, we're not going at 80 [00:08:39] km/h, but at 60 km/h," is very [00:08:42] reassuring, right? The correct answer is: [00:08:46] no, we have to go in another direction, and if we can't [00:08:49] do that, we should stop. That's the same rule [00:08:52] we use for airplanes, buildings, nuclear [00:08:56] power plants, even for sandwiches. We say, [00:08:59] there's a risk, either from a building collapse, a plane crash [00:09:03] or food poisoning, and we demand [00:09:06] certain safety tests before allowing a new type of airplane to be launched [00:09:10] on the market and carry passengers. [00:09:42] executives, Jacob, who resigned from [00:09:45] Anthropic, and Evan Hubinger, the Anthropic executive who supported him, [00:09:48] spoke of more than a 10% probability of human [00:09:51] extinction. That's playing Russian [00:09:55] head and pulling the trigger, hoping the bullets aren't in the right [00:09:59] chamber. How can we allow this to be happening? Basically, let [00:10:03] me see if I understood you correctly, you are saying that technology companies should first [00:10:08] safety requirements and [00:10:11] then, if approved, only then launch their [00:10:15] products. You gave as an example the case of [00:10:17] airplanes. Yes, I was questioning the idea that [00:10:21] the solution will be to slow down the current race. [00:10:25] Slowing down the process basically means, well, we're [00:10:28] going to keep moving forward regardless of whether we can do it safely, [00:10:32] we'll just do it at a slower pace, and I [00:10:35] argued that if an aircraft manufacturer said, "We're going to introduce [00:10:39] a new aircraft once a year and we hope that will give us enough [00:10:42] time to carry out the flight tests and that the results will [00:10:46] be good, but we're going to introduce the aircraft anyway," if that were the [00:10:50] case, the government would say, [00:10:53] "No, you're getting it completely wrong, you can't [00:10:56] launch aircraft whenever you want, you have to do the flight tests [00:11:00] and the results of the flight tests have to be good, and the same goes for the [00:11:04] structural integrity and the tests of the wings and engines." There [00:11:08] are regulations that say they have to comply with all these safety [00:11:12] standards, because otherwise they are putting people [00:11:15] at risk and we will not accept it. [00:11:18] Many ethics experts advocate for [00:11:20] labeling. They say that artificial intelligence companies and social [00:11:25] networks should be required to label their [00:11:28] products, just like supermarkets do with [00:11:31] food. That is, for example, to indicate if a video or an image, a [00:11:35] photo has been created with artificial intelligence, or what [00:11:38] percentage of the content of a video has been [00:11:42] created with artificial intelligence. What do you think about [00:11:45] that? How would it work? This is already a requirement in Europe and [00:11:48] China, where there are very strict regulations on the labeling of [00:11:52] artificial intelligence content. I think that [00:11:55] it actually works. It is curious that American [00:11:58] companies argue in the United States that [00:12:02] this is too burdensome, "we cannot comply with these terrible [00:12:06] regulations proposed by the states of the United States," while [00:12:10] they comply with them in Europe and have succeeded without problems, and it is not that [00:12:13] difficult. I think the simplest example is that one should [00:12:17] have the right to know if they are interacting with a human or with a [00:12:21] machine. It is very simple, if it is a dialogue, either. [00:12:30] That would include, for example, when one receives a tweet or a message on social [00:12:34] networks, on Twitter, on Facebook or on any other social [00:12:37] network. Should social networks explicitly [00:12:41] notify us that it is a bot? Of course [00:12:45] they should, and I should have the option to filter responses or [00:12:49] friend requests from bots. Personally, I don't [00:12:52] want to be friends with a bot, I don't want bots in my [00:12:55] inbox with nonsense generated by other bots. I should be able to [00:12:59] filter non-human interactions. [00:13:02] Professor, all this debate about the potential [00:13:05] apocalypse due to artificial intelligence is overshadowing another [00:13:09] debate, the debate about the effect of artificial intelligence on our [00:13:13] minds, right? What experts call cognitive [00:13:16] surrender. What advice would you give to our viewers [00:13:20] on how to protect their minds, their brains from this [00:13:23] bombardment of messages and artificial intelligence algorithms [00:13:26] that manipulate our thoughts? How can we preserve [00:13:29] our mental independence? [00:13:33] It's a very important question, and there is [00:13:37] increasingly clear evidence that using artificial intelligence to [00:13:40] perform cognitive tasks results, as you say, in [00:13:44] cognitive surrender, cognitive deficit, cognitive [00:13:47] decline. We really need to find an appropriate [00:13:51] term for this. Basically, one becomes [00:13:54] dumber. One becomes less intelligent, loses their [00:13:57] mental capacity. For example, there are people who cannot [00:14:01] answer a question without first consulting their artificial [00:14:04] intelligence platform. They cannot organize their daily lives, they cannot [00:14:07] work. I have spoken with managers whose direct [00:14:10] subordinates cannot function without constant help from the artificial [00:14:14] intelligence system. We have very clear evidence of an [00:14:17] experiment conducted in China with 26 children. Some [00:14:21] used artificial intelligence to help them with their homework and others [00:14:25] did not. The children who used artificial intelligence scored [00:14:28] higher on their homework and lower on their [00:14:32] final exams, closed-book final exams [00:14:35] and without artificial intelligence. Therefore, [00:14:38] the use of artificial intelligence clearly resulted in a [00:14:41] failure to learn. So, I think that as [00:14:45] this becomes more widespread, it will be increasingly inexcusable that [00:14:49] we allow children to continue using artificial intelligence to [00:14:52] copy and paste their homework and substitute [00:14:56] think. It would be a total negligence on our part, and it [00:15:00] is already happening. Professor Russell, thank you very much, we have [00:15:03] a break now. When we return, we will talk to the former [00:15:06] Instagram software engineer, [00:15:09] who was a witness in the trial against the company for allegedly damaging [00:15:13] the mental health of minors. Don't go away, we'll be [00:15:17] right back. [00:15:18] volvemos, [00:15:24] There are places that... stay with you forever, and that is Dominican [00:15:28] Republic. Dominican Republic is beach and [00:15:31] mountain, it's city, countryside and a path to discover. It's the [00:15:35] flavor of a cuisine born from the land. Music that is danced [00:15:38] and felt, it's people who receive you as if they had known you for [00:15:42] years, hands that create, communities that share, [00:15:45] stories that make you part, it's a country that grows [00:15:48] caring for what makes it unique, Dominican Republic [00:15:51] feels. Feel Dominican Republic. The full story [00:15:55] with Anderson Cooper, CNN's best journalists share deeply [00:15:58] documented stories. [00:16:00] documentadas. [00:16:07] your advice be to me, you believe the civil [00:16:10] government should be guided and dictated by biblical law, how [00:16:14] in the world did you survive [00:16:15] this? [00:16:19] The full story with Anderson Cooper, Sunday on [00:16:23] CNN. Do you have 5 minutes? We have five [00:16:27] things for you, a podcast with the five most important topics [00:16:31] of the day. Just ask your smart device, "Give me [00:16:34] the latest news from CNN." Next, I'm [00:16:37] going to tell you the five things you need to know at this time, updated every [00:16:41] hour, free of charge or commitment. Stay informed [00:16:45] from anywhere and at any time. Subscribe [00:16:48] to our newsletter. Listen to the five things you need to know [00:16:52] throughout the day. [00:17:35] The need to migrate knows no age. Many [00:17:39] say they want to reach Mexico City, but others are looking [00:17:42] to go further [00:17:43] north. [00:17:47] The Mexican army's anti-drone battalion consists of [00:17:50] these types of elements, jammers to bring down drones [00:17:54] that have become a threat. The [00:17:57] Chiapas authorities have detected a cattle smuggling [00:18:00] point. This is one of the illegal crossing [00:18:04] points for cattle going from Central America to [00:18:07] Mexico. Thousands of demonstrators, workers from this [00:18:11] country, left the Angel of [00:18:14] morning. I am in the municipality of Teuchitlán, in the [00:18:18] Mexican state of Jalisco. Here the discovery was [00:18:21] macabre by collectives of people searching for the [00:18:25] disappeared. What made you come here with the suspicion [00:18:29] that your son might be on this [00:18:30] ranch? [00:18:44] Thank you for staying with us. A few weeks ago, Meta, the parent [00:18:48] company of Instagram and Facebook, reached an out-of-court [00:18:51] settlement with 48 states of the United [00:18:54] States, for which the company will have to pay up to [00:18:57] 18 billion dollars and make several [00:19:00] changes to its platforms to [00:19:03] better protect minors. The lawsuit had accused [00:19:06] Meta of intentionally causing screen addiction [00:19:10] in children and adolescents, [00:19:13] contributing to a mental health crisis among [00:19:16] young people. The company has explicitly denied [00:19:20] having done anything wrong, and as part of that agreement, it agreed to [00:19:24] several demands, such as, for example, setting a 2-hour daily [00:19:28] limit for the time minors under [00:19:31] 17 years old can spend on its [00:19:34] platforms. But will that be enough [00:19:37] to combat this wave of anxiety and youth depression that [00:19:41] we were talking about? We have with us the man who was a witness [00:19:44] against the company in the trial, former Instagram software [00:19:48] engineer Arturo Bejar. Let's point out [00:19:51] that we invited Meta three weeks ago to interview an official [00:19:55] spokesperson for the company, but so far we have not received a [00:19:58] response. Instead, they sent us the following [00:20:01] statement, uh, I quote, "Meta has reached an agreement [00:20:05] with a bipartisan group of... attorneys [00:20:08] general, uh, state attorneys general across the country, [00:20:12] on a new set of rules governing adolescents' use of social networks. [00:20:16] The framework we have negotiated will allow [00:20:19] parents to easily manage their children's access [00:20:22] to our platforms. Our new commitments on time limits, night mode features, [00:20:26] and usage limits during school hours set the right path for the entire [00:20:30] industry. But this framework will only work if all our [00:20:34] competitors join in. Given that adolescents frequently use [00:20:37] dozens of applications, we need an industry-wide [00:20:41] solution." I close the quote. Let's go with Arturo [00:20:45] Bejar. Arturo, thank you for being with us. Well. As we just [00:20:49] said, you were a key protagonist in this trial. What is [00:20:52] your conclusion after this agreement? Will these measures be [00:20:56] enough to protect minors? [00:21:00] No. It's a very important change that the [00:21:02] states achieved in the agreement, because there are [00:21:06] some good things, but at the same time it's a start and it's [00:21:10] not enough. It's like telling our children that they [00:21:14] can smoke all the cigarettes they can smoke in 2 [00:21:17] hours. To change the nature of cigarettes to [00:21:20] make young people safer on these products, let's [00:21:24] break it down. One of the measures that Instagram and Facebook [00:21:28] committed to was what [00:21:31] 2-hour daily limit on screen [00:21:35] time, on the time minors can spend on their [00:21:38] platforms to precisely reduce [00:21:42] screen addiction. How will that work? That [00:21:45] means that after 2 hours the transmission stops or [00:21:51] saying: "We advise you not to continue." How will this [00:21:54] work? How it should work is that after 2 [00:21:57] hours, when one tries to open Instagram or anything [00:22:01] like that service on our phone, it should be a [00:22:04] screen saying: "Today the 2 hours are up and [00:22:08] nothing else can be done except messages," because messages [00:22:13] what is the normal use of the social network. Two hours per [00:22:17] day or 2 hours in a row? It's 2 hours per [00:22:20] day, and in theory, at 15 minutes, they will give a [00:22:24] warning, but these would have to be made in such a way that they were [00:22:27] effective for something that, when you see [00:22:31] it, makes you put down the phone, not just a small [00:22:35] screen in between that everyone says yes to and then continues [00:22:38] doing what they were doing. Do you think this 2-hour [00:22:42] daily limit will make a difference, that it will be important? [00:22:46] It can make a difference, [00:22:49] but the... the problem still is that for the other years that young people [00:22:53] live on these products every [00:22:56] these social networks are giving our children, that is not [00:23:00] changing. So it's good that there is a [00:23:03] limit of fewer hours a day, provided it is [00:23:06] done in a way that is effective, but something [00:23:09] needs to be done about the other harms. Another measure agreed upon by Instagram, [00:23:13] Facebook and the plaintiffs was that minors will no [00:23:16] longer be able to use Instagram and Facebook between [00:23:22] a.m. to prevent sleep deprivation, which [00:23:26] according to many psychologists causes anxiety and depression. Will those [00:23:29] 6 hours of blocking be enough to [00:23:33] reduce mental problems in minors? We hope it [00:23:36] helps, and the fact that they are doing it is very [00:23:39] important, but something that is missing in this [00:23:43] issue, which is necessary for governments in the United [00:23:47] States and Latin America and other places to do, [00:23:50] is to ask young people how much these changes are [00:23:54] helping them. But if you ask young people, "Hey, how's [00:23:58] your sleep, what product are you using, what's keeping you [00:24:01] awake?", they will tell you, and at the end of the day, [00:24:04] results are more important than efforts. What did [00:24:07] Instagram and Facebook agree with the plaintiffs on the [00:24:10] issue of infinite scrolling? That is, [00:24:14] infinite scrolling. With [00:24:17] respect to the addiction mechanisms, such as [00:24:21] infinite scrolling, videos that start playing [00:24:24] automatically, notifications, [00:24:27] an algorithm that notices what [00:24:31] that, whether it's good or bad for you, in those areas there were [00:24:35] no agreements. What was changed is how much time. So [00:24:39] that is a job that needs to continue, and what we need to [00:24:42] know, both parents and governments, is that this is the beginning of a [00:24:46] process, not the end. Let me see if I understand correctly what you are saying: [00:24:50] the usage time was changed, but not the content. [00:24:54] Exactly, the time is limited, but the things [00:24:58] that we are learning and know cause harm, which is infinite [00:25:01] scrolling, I mean, from the moment you are born until you die, you can be [00:25:04] watching, the videos that start to [00:25:08] play before you say, "I want to [00:25:12] see that," and companies know and [00:25:15] studies show that when you you see a video, [00:25:19] you immediately prepare to pay attention to it and see what is [00:25:22] happening, it's natural, you enter a bar or whatever, there's a [00:25:25] screen, our eyes immediately spend a few [00:25:29] seconds there to see what happened and when that video has [00:25:32] something so strong, something exhausting, [00:25:35] something that affects you, well, you've already experienced it, right? [00:25:39] when you saw it, let's remember that several weeks ago we invited [00:25:42] Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, to participate in today's [00:25:46] program, but we did not receive a response. Previously, Meta had [00:25:50] denied that its platforms harm minors and said that the [00:25:53] agreement reached with the plaintiffs does not imply that [00:25:57] it admits to having done anything wrong. The company sent us a statement from its chief [00:26:00] legal officer, CH Mahone, saying, [00:26:03] and I quote, "Meta has reached an agreement with a bipartisan group of [00:26:07] state attorneys general across the country on a new set of rules [00:26:10] regulating the use of social networks by [00:26:13] teenagers. The framework we have negotiated will allow parents to easily [00:26:17] manage their children's access to these platforms. [00:26:21] Our new commitments on time limits, night mode features, [00:26:24] and school-day usage limits mark the right [00:26:28] path for our entire industry. But this framework will only [00:26:31] work if all our competitors join. Given that [00:26:34] teenagers frequently use dozens of applications, we need [00:26:38] an industry-wide solution." End quote. [00:26:41] We have to not cut when we come back, we'll continue with the [00:26:44] witness in the trial against Meta. Don't go anywhere, we'll [00:26:48] be back. [00:26:53] Every night there is the possibility of an [00:26:57] unfiltered bombardment. Our young people should [00:27:00] not be treated like this anywhere. Here we [00:27:04] ask, is there freedom of belief in the country, in Spain? One [00:27:08] hears that this type of phenomenon is not that they are the [00:27:11] generators of change, they are the expression of change, and it is debated, will [00:27:15] your foreign policy be like this, lukewarm, without taking [00:27:18] positions? Conclusions with Fernando del Rincón from Monday to [00:27:21] Friday on [00:27:22] CNN. [00:29:26] City, [00:29:28] a story can change everything, a [00:29:31] look. at the reconstruction of a city and the [00:29:34] hope of a people determined to rise again, it evolved very [00:29:37] quickly and we never thought it would become a category [00:29:41] five. And to understand what is happening, we go [00:29:44] to my colleague Ione Molinares in Washington, [00:29:48] the explosion, we can see the dimension it had to take down the entire [00:29:52] facade. We hear the protagonists, they [00:29:56] took care of us as mothers and fathers of the [00:29:59] 43, where she lived, a bomb fell. We are about [00:30:02] to board this Mexican Air Force plane bound for [00:30:06] Romania, to have a complete view. We are [00:30:09] here as immigrants to progress, to make this country grow. There are [00:30:13] great stories to know and many perspectives to analyze. [00:30:17] Perspectives with Mario González, Monday to Friday [00:30:20] on CNN. [00:30:53] Hello, I'm Andreas Openheimer.
