Ilya Sutskever, cofounder and former chief scientist of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, spoke on June 6 at the University of Toronto, where he received his graduate degree. He gave the graduates advice about artificial intelligence.
Sutskever believes there will come a day when AI “will do all the things that we can.”
“How can I be so sure of that?” he said. “We have a brain, the brain is a biological computer, so why can’t a digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things, because we have a brain and the brain is a biological computer.”
Sutskever encouraged graduates to “accept reality as it is, try not to regret the past, and try to improve the situation.”
“It’s so easy to think, ‘Oh, some bad past decision or bad stroke of luck, something happened, something is unfair,'” he said. “It’s so easy to spend so much time thinking like this while it’s just so much better and more productive to say, ‘Okay, things are the way they are, what’s the next best step?'”
