Common sense is not so common. Yejin Choi, professor and computer science researcher, thinks we need to take AI way more seriously for this very reason. Even for the most advanced AI systems, common sense remains difficult to program. Stupid AI isn’t funny, it’s dangerous, and Choi’s years exploring the ethics behind machine learning is distilled into her TED talk. We got to speak to her hours after she delivered it, and explained to us why anything that is learning from the internet is unavoidably going to have racist, sexist and ableist tendencies that we have to actively correct for. Most importantly: we need regulation. Choi believes in fostering a diverse community of thinkers, including philosophers and psychologists, working collectively to bridge AI's gaps of understanding to include ethics, racial equity, and common sense.

00:00 From what I understand, one of the biggest things or demands on both sides,
00:05 people who are very optimistic about AI and people who are more concerned,
00:09 is guardrails or policy or something that has some kind of limitation or restriction
00:14 so that there is everything from ethics and common sense to racial equity built into AI.
00:21 How do you think we practically go about implementing those restrictions?
00:25 Beyond AI researchers, we do need to involve people in different humanities disciplines,
00:31 including philosophers and psychologists and everybody thinking about how to put the guardrails
00:38 because AI now is too powerful and it's going to or already begun to make impact on human life.
