[energetic music]

- [Narrator] For decades,
science fiction writers

have amazed us and terrorized us

with their portrayal
of the world of robots,

the coming army of super
intelligent and strong machines

that will help us or hinder us.

From the crazy
Daleks of Doctor Who

to the funny and human
like androids of Star Trek,

everything has been imagined.

Today, we are living
in that future,

age of robots and
artificial intelligence.

Today, all those dreams of
the past are coming true.

Around the world,
scientists, engineers

and software creators

are bringing to life the
fantasy world of the films.

Mechanical robots
will soon be outdated

with biologically
created humanoids

implanted with
artificial intelligence

and connected to each
other across the globe.

They will self repair,

gather energy from the
sun and live forever.

They will be all knowing
and all powerful,

like gods that will
walk the Earth.

And all the time, we humans
are blindly following.

We are walking away from
what millions of years

as beings of a natural world

into something so unnatural

that even the science fiction
writers will be amazed.

This future world is
now inevitable and
cannot be stopped.

We have no choice
but to be part of it

and so we had better
be armed with knowledge

in order to be better prepared
for the circumstances.

The greatest brains
on Earth today

have warned us about
the consequences

of getting this new
technology wrong.

They have predicted catastrophe.

Prepare to meet your future now.

To understand where
we are heading,

we have to understand
the technology.

To help us, we will break
it down into two parts,

robotics and artificial
intelligence.

[upbeat music]

As technology stands today,

a robot or droid, is
technically a machine.

At some point in the future,

it is highly likely
that this will change

and our super strong
intelligent friends or foes

will be genetically
created from human DNA

and programmed at
the quantum level

but we will move onto that soon.

Robots, at present, are
programmed by humans

or even by other computers

to carry out complex
tasks automatically.

They can be controlled
externally with a device

or via in built processes.

Unlike most science
fiction movies,

robots are generally
not human like in form.

In fact, they are
generally constructed

with no or little
aesthetics in mind

and are designed
purely for function

in factories and
other places of work,

industrial, medical,
patient assistance, therapy,

swarm robots, drones
and now even nano robots

that can go into
the blood stream.

A massive amount of money

is also spent by the military

in creating battle useful robots

that can do all manner of tasks

from bomb disposal to
carrying heavy loads.

Increasingly low and in line

with the rise of
artificial intelligence

robots are now being
made in humanoid form.

This helps them to
appear more intelligent

and on our own level.

Some find this less stressful.

Others find it more terrifying.

The sheer amount
of money and effort

to get to this place
in time and technology

is awe inspiring.

No one man has
created the robot.

It takes hundreds of people

to design each small piece.

Hundreds more in the
engineering or construction.

And hundreds more for
the software engineers

to create programs
to move arms and legs

for senses such as sight,
sound and even smell.

Language skills,
awareness of surroundings,

task routines, and so much more

all have to be
taken into account.

The process is huge,
costly and time consuming

and yet some would say

that if we were to
put half of the effort

into ending poverty in the
world and the environment

we would all be
better off already.

But that aside, it is a massive
step in human ingenuity.

Whether it proves to be bad
or good is yet to be seen.

At present, the benefits
are there for all to see.

Menial tasks can now be taken
care of in the workplace

freeing up people.

Dangerous tasks in
difficult environments

such as nuclear power stations

are now carried out by robots.

An increasingly clever
part of robotics

is the use of knowledge
gained from nature,

copying the way birds
fly or caterpillars walk

have all helped provide us

with robots that work
better and more efficiently.

These are known as
bio inspired robotics.

But all of this is
actually not new.

Automata have actually been
around for thousands of years,

ancient civilizations
created them

to amuse the rich and powerful

in the shape of
humans and animals.

Over time, these mechanical
devices were adopted

to help mankind in
more practical ways

until eventually electricity
and computer technology

enabled us to get to
where we are today.

The very first use
of the term robot

came about in a play from 1920

by Czech writer Capek.

The first truly
electronic device

was created by British inventor,

William Grey Walter in 1948.

The first programmable robot

came six years later

and was named Unimate.

It was simply used
to lift hot metal

from dye casting machines

at the Inland Fisher Guide Plant

at General Motors in New Jersey.

Today, robots have replaced
hundreds of thousands of humans

performing repetitive
or dangerous tasks

and even tasks no humans
could actually perform

such as in space
or under the sea.

Robots have found their way
to the bottom of the ocean

and even into space.

But all of this
has caused problems

and these are set to become
internationally problematic

on a much larger scale.

Many in society see the rise
of the machine as a threat

bringing mass unemployment

as they replace more and
more skilled workers.

In the military, there
is a heated debate

about the use of robots
to actually fight battles

instead of humans

and all the ethical
questions that arise

from giving such
power and intelligence

to fighting machine.

This is not science fiction,

this is actually happening today

but things are about to
get even more bizarre

because the next stage
in robotic evolution

mirrors our own
even more closely.

The use of genetically
creating the perfect android

from our own DNA.

DNA carries all the
genetic information

about who and what we are.

It is us.

It is all living organisms.

It is made up of two
strands of DNA molecules

folded into a spiral we
call the double helix.

Genes are made from different
sequences in these strands

of the four main
genetic components.

It's kind of like a very
complex form of binary.

Scientists can now not
only read the code of DNA

they can manipulate it,

bend the spirals and
encode data into it.

At the moment, the law does
not allow them to go too far

but the art is all under review

at the very highest levels.

Because scientists
can now manipulate DNA

in such remarkable ways that
go beyond its original purpose,

all manner of
opportunities arise.

DNA based materials
are now being used

to create nano robots

that can carry precise
levels of drugs

to diseased cells
in the human body.

This is DNA created in the
form of a barrel of two hulls

with a hinge.

When the cells recognize
diseased cells,

the hinges open.

The barrel undelivers
its cargo of drugs

directly into the bad cell.

Healthy cells are
therefore unharmed.

Researchers have even
designed nanothermometers

that are ultrasensitive

and can find tiny
hotspots in living cells.

These are created
using loops of DNA

that act as switches by
folding and unfolding

when the temperature changes.

It is this precise invention

of using DNA to
create minute switches

that has changed things

because DNA structures
can actually be used

as a kind of on and off switch.

In fact, it becomes
like a computer

using binary information.

Scientists have now
created DNA nanorobots

that can now communicate
with each other

using DNA switches.

These nano DNA robots

were then implanted
into a cockroach

and this allowed them to
create a biological computer.

Testing on humans is planned.

We touched on earlier about
how from the very beginning

robotics has copied
the natural world.

Now through the
understanding of DNA,

scientists can
create genetic robots

from the actual
animal's DNA itself

and reprogram it.

This can happen
at the nano scale.

An example is how
plants and animals

convert solar energy or
light into chemical energy

through photosynthesis.

Scientists copied this process

and manipulated DNA to capture
light and convert the energy.

Imagine a genetic robot

that is its own solar panel.

Imagine DNA light catching
and converting molecules

being built into
almost anything,

super efficient, abundant
sources of energy.

Imagine a genetically cloned
and reprogrammed humanoid robot

with a constant energy source

self repairing, always learning.

All it needs now is true
artificial intelligence

and this is where
the world is suddenly

becoming more and
more interesting.

Artificial intelligence
also known as simply AI

is intelligence
exhibited by machines

whether mechanical or genetic.

To scientists, AI is any device

that can perceive
its own environment

and take action within it.

To the rest of us, AI is when
a machine becomes so clever

that we can no longer tell

whether it is machine or human.

It must be aware, have cognitive
functions such as learning

and solve problems.

Over time, the idea of what
AI is has been changing.

It was once thought that
optical character recognition

was a sign of intelligence.

Now however, even mobile phone
apps can recognize characters

and yet a mobile phone is
not artificially intelligent.

In this way, items are
slowly being removed

from the list of what
artificial intelligence is.

Eventually it is thought

there will be nothing
left on the list

and we will truly have AI.

As it stands, scientists are
working on various elements

to tick off the list,

understanding human speech,

driverless cars,
planes and trains,

playing strategy games
and military simulations

and the interpretation
of complex data.

All of these elements
are now within reach

or have been achieved.

The understanding
of complex data

has already put thousands
of people out of work

in banks and other businesses.

Driverless trucks and
cars will do the same.

The world of AI is
very complicated

and is divided into
various elements.

Each element focuses
on its known field

and it is hoped one day,

they will all join up
to create the perfect

artificially intelligent mind.

The main issues at the moment

are the abilities to reason,

to gain true knowledge,

to plan, understand and
speak natural languages,

perception of the environment

and the ability to move and
manipulate things within it.

There are a variety of methods

being used to get
around these issues.

Statistical and
complex computation,

computer learning form
our actions and more.

All of the methods will
most likely be used

to eventually
generate true AI mind

but it is problematic.

Computer learning from
humans has caused problems,

racism and even violence
have been picked up

as a normal part
of human behavior

and AI started to do the same.

This is what happens

when pure mathematical,
statistical,

logical learning is used.

After all, how do you
write down in mathematics

things such as
compassion and empathy?

A lot of humans don't
have such things

so how do we program
them into robots?

The answer may very well lay

within the DNA genetic
future humanoid

and not the mechanical
chip in gear version.

It may also lay within the realm

of quantum computer technology

implanted within DNA

and an artificial
biological brain

placed within a
mechanical structure.

At the moment, researchers
are keen to teach the AI brain

computer science and mathematics

but also philosophy,
psychology and neuroscience

in the hope that it will
begin to understand itself.

It was claimed that
human intelligence

could be precisely described
in mathematical terms

and therefore a machine
would be able to simulate it.

That idea has turned out

to be not as simple
as first thought.

The human mind is
much more complex

than most mathematical
models could work out.

And so the process is slow.

Going through each
element of the human mind

and learning.

The computer learns
through algorithms

and it is hoped one
day to begin to see

more of a human
intelligence in it

than simply knowledge of logic.

In truth, all of this raises
many philosophical questions

about the nature
of the mind itself.

Not to mention the ethics of
creating a self aware mind,

playing God.

All of these questions and more

have been explored in
science fiction for decades.

Will AI be a danger to mankind?

It all depends on how we proceed

and because there are many
people around the world

working on it and racing
against each other,

almost anything could happen.

Imagine a self aware
super intelligent mind

let lose upon the internet.

With all that knowledge
of everything humans
have discovered

created and done,

what would it do?

Would it decide we are a
threat to its own existence

and that of the planet

and therefore try
to wipe us out?

Some very intelligent people

think that is a possibility.

Recently, machine learning
is being spoken of

as a sub element of
artificial intelligence.

This is not a self aware machine

but one that constantly
learns from every input.

These have been set free
in the world of games

to see how humans
react to each other

and this has even
played the game

and been very ruthless.

There is a massive multi
billion dollar race on

to create the best AI.

The payback will be huge

because it will be
used everywhere.

From driverless cars and drones

to mobile phones and more.

Potentially, machines
with intelligence

have the ability to
make ethical decisions

and could thus outdate us.

Scientist Stephen Hawking said,

"The development of full
artificial intelligence

"could spell the end
of the human race.

"Once humans develop
artificial intelligence,

"it will take off on its own

"and redesign itself at
an ever increasing rate.

"Humans, who are limited by
slow biological evolution

"couldn't compete and
would be superseded."

He was not alone in this.

Bill Gates and Elon Musk
also voiced their concerns.

In truth, we only have
to look at human history

to know that all
will not be well.

When we split the atom,

we discovered a possible
free energy source

but mankind took
it and abused it

by creating the nuclear bomb.

This is just one example.

AI may be truly knowledgeable
and super intelligent,

but stupid humans
have created it

and it is learning from us.

Will it try to acquire resources

and protect itself from us?

We have to be very careful

what we ask of this
new technology.

The fact is that
quantum computing

is so much faster
than human thinking.

Any so called science
fiction battle

against the machines
in cyber space

would be a waste of time for us.

If AI is let loose
upon the internet,

it could shut down the world

and billions would die.

It is that serious

and we have come to rely
upon the interconnectedness

of the world's computer
systems that much.

Think about it.

Power, health
services, government,

distribution of goods,
education, satellites,

communication, military
and so much more.

All of these things are
now connected to the net.

An attack upon services
happened in 2017

and reduced the
national health services

in the United Kingdom down
to a shambles for days.

All computer systems went down.

Hospitals were in crisis,

operations canceled,

emergency services overstretched

all because of one small hack

by some kid in a dark room.

Now imagine a mind faster
than all the humans ever

and with knowledge
of everything.

We wouldn't stand a chance.

But we don't always
need to worry

about the threat of
the artificial mind.

We have enough human
craziness to compete with.

Most of the research
into robotics and AI

is funded by the
military of the world.

There are over 50 countries

spending trillions on
battlefield robots,

AI-led battle
technology and more.

Who is going to stop
the US or Russia

from developing
artificial intelligent

super robotic soldiers?

You, me?

Chances are somebody somewhere

has already created a
genetically enhanced clone

of a human being

and is even now enhancing
its intellectual powers,

energy consumption and creation,

genetic repairing

and interconnectedness
with central command.

Not science fiction
but highly likely.

The technology is there

which means it's being done

just not legally.

Hundreds of years ago a group
of scientists got together

to play science firmly
in the world of humanity.

They were what became
known as The Royal Society.

Their aim was to
explain existence

in scientific terms,

to understand what they
called god's creation better.

Now, years later,

their legacy is the scientific
world we have around us

and now that aim to
understand the world around us

has turned inwards to ourselves.

To understand ourselves
by creating what we are

and becoming God ourselves.

We claim we have understood
the wonder of the universe

and now we are Gods
able to create.

But we most certainly
do fall short

of the glory of
our idea of a God.

At the end of the day,
we have to ask ourselves,

is the human mind nothing
but a series of binary codes

on and off switches to be
played with by scientists?

What is the soul?

Can you define such a thing

through numbers and equations?

By reducing ourselves
down ultimately

to a series of numbers,

we have destroyed what
it is to be human.

We are staring blankly

like rabbits caught in the light

at a future of uncertainty.

Artificial intelligence
and robotics will,

without doubt,

bring with it mass
unemployment and unhappiness.

The machine's will
and already are

exceeding our abilities.

Millions are already
losing their jobs,

bankers, teachers,
marketing executives,

factory workers, retailers,
drivers and more.

There is no escaping this

because it is already happening.

There are even robots now

that are replacing partners.

Sex robots look so perfect

and perform almost
every function,

they are now being given

the highest level of
artificial intelligence

so that buyers can actually
hold conversations with them.

If we can replace
each other in this way

and if we want to,

then what will true self aware
artificial intelligence do?

The fact is that the machines

must be given ethics

and those ethics must be
internationally agreed

before AI is unleashed.

Thankfully, this
has been recognized

and there are symposiums
of machine ethics in place.

Of course, that does
not allow for espionage,

rogue nations, dictators,
capitalist greed and more.

Where there's a
will, there's a way

and normally the willpower

comes in the form
of dollar bills.

There are those who say

that AI cannot be
designed to be good,

it will be what it will be

and we may not even comprehend

why it makes certain decisions.

Indeed, Google Translate
actually created
its own language

to interpret human languages

without the knowledge
of its creators

and hid it in code.

How can we know that the machine

will sign up to
our own moral codes

when we do not?

It may decide not to continue
to support human life

as part of its own moral code
to save the planet from us.

It has been suggested

to attempt to create
a super friendly AI

as the first Adam of is kind

and through which all subsequent
sons of AI must be tested.

Nobody is at all
sure what to do.

If an AI system replicates

all key aspects of
human intelligence,

will that system
also be sentient?

Will it have a mind

which is conscious experiences?

This question is closely related

to the philosophical problem

as to the nature of
human consciousness,

generally referred to as the
hard problem of consciousness.

And now we turn back to
the world of the internet.

It is like escaping the body

and somehow jumping
into another dimension.

We stare like
zombies into a world

that can offer us
anything we want.

From buying almost
everything, even sex,

to showing ourselves off
and emulating the stars.

With the internet,
we can do it all

but I believe it to
be a dangerous world

for the mind of man.

The word man is
derived from mind

and this was the
concept of man himself,

that he was not seen
as the sum of his parts

but as the thinking process
unit behind the eyes.

He was more than
his legs and arms.

For when they seize to function,

the mind remained.

It was the very thing
that set him apart

from the other living,
breathing beings on our planet.

Man realized that he was alive.

Realized that he
existed, had worry, fear.

He began to set
the world in order

and suddenly the planet and
the universe itself existed

because we conceived of it.

This separated us from the rest,

not just in terms
of how we thought

but when we physically began
to lose our connection.

The anxious element
of this situation

gave us responsibility
for ourselves.

And ever since this
fear has emerged,

man attempted to replace it
with the concept of deities.

An attempt to remove
responsibility for our actions

and indeed our thoughts.

We were so thankful for this
weight off our shoulders

that the religious authorities
grew at an alarming rate,

utilizing this fear against
us and growing more.

Even now in the 21st century,

all our sins can be taken
away by the savior gods.

These sins are caused
by the parts of the mind

that shadow us.

The other side that we
mostly attempt to ignore.

Yes, all of us do this.

We all claim to be
better than that

but it was not so long ago

whole nations were swayed

into the land of shadows

by a charismatic leader

who drew around him many demons

and set the world on a path
of hellish destruction.

Nazi Germany was created by
and from the mind of man,

namely Adolf Hitler.

This one divided and
neurotic individual

gathered the knowledge

on how to convince
people of his outlook.

All the tools Hitler
and his cohorts used

are exactly the same as those
we have been discussing.

The German people were not evil,

they were human

and they were guided on the path

by the shadow of another.

Their evil sides were drawn out

in the name of good
and righteousness

and in the end nobody knew

what they were doing
was evil itself

because they had forgotten
themselves entirely.

All judgment and responsibility

had been taken away from them

in the name of the state

and because humans enjoy
losing this responsibility

they were a happy people.

Because of this happiness,
this bliss in darkness,

they could simply not
understand why other nations

did not want to join them.

There is absolutely
nothing new here at all.

This is a constant
cyclic human pattern

that has occurred for millennia

and occurs every day
in everybody's life.

We all tip out of
balance in many ways

and in many subjects.

Let's have a look at a
specific pattern and subject

that is relevant today

because of the growing
surge in its popularity,

the enlightenment.

Enlightenment is knowledge
gained and understood

at a deep level of reality.

It is a moment of pure
insight and understanding

that resonates with
our most inner mind

and links to that thing we
call [bell dinging] intuition.

We all have moments
of enlightenment,

when we supposedly
suddenly realize a truth.

The fact is that like
the stars of Hollywood,

nothing happens overnight

and enlightenment does
not happen overnight.

Instead, it is a
convergence of knowledge

fusing in the mind

at one point in time

and realizing, understanding
back into the mind.

If we comprehend the truth

behind this simple sentence,

then we truly understand
what enlightenment is.

Let's break it down
for those of us

that do not get it just yet.

The convergence of knowledge,

well, quite simply, we all
learn every moment of the day,

we just may not always be
aware of this learning process.

Over the course of our lives,

we learn a great many things

and occasionally and
often by pure accident,

things we have learned
meet and make sense.

The moment we find the last
piece of the jigsaw puzzle,

we suddenly see
the whole picture.

Whereas before that, we
knew each part mattered,

we just didn't know why.

All of this occurs in the mind

which then tells itself
that it has understood

and releases pleasure
center hormones

as a gift for making
the breakthrough.

We experience this feeling

which adds weight and power

to the emotion of
the enlightenment.

Now this is where the problem

or duality of this
experience can be found.

For the emotional
reaction caused

gives the individual a sense
of being profoundly true

and that the world ought
to revolve around it.

The experience gains more
credit because of the feeling

than the actual
knowledge gained.

There are a great many
experienced mystics

from a range of religions

that have all had the
enlightenment experience

and yet they cannot all be right

for they come from
diametrically opposed corners

of the theoretical spectrum.

It is therefore, a
personal experience

for the individual, and
yet has repercussions

for all those around it.

One of the experiences

that has caused more
dangerous reactions

is the blinding flash.

This blinding flash in the mind

is the result of an
electromagnetic chemical

and biological reaction

via the nervous
system into the brain

releasing pleasure hormones

and a sense of knowledge

due to the sudden connectivity

of all parts of
the neural network

at one moment in time.

There may indeed be
a deeper connection

to a quantum understanding

at an archetypal level involved.

However, this does not
discount the problem

of this experience,

that it can and does,

cause the individual to
lose all sense of reality.

Due to the fact that this
is an emotional state,

it causes an imbalance
in the emotional state

and because it is a
sudden physical reaction,

then there is no
understanding of what it is

and so the imagination
fills in the gaps

with deities and all manner

of other weird and
wonderful things.

I will give you
one true example.

On the understanding

that I have in fact seen
this exact thing now

hundreds of times.

Following the launch of my book,

Gnosis: The Secret of
Solomon's Temple Revealed

which speaks of this experience

and its relationship to
the symbols of the Bible

and other religious texts.

I was contacted by an individual

who at first thanked me
profusely for the book.

I responded, as any
decent author would,

with a thank you note
and my best wishes.

The correspondent then
followed up with a statement

that he would like to explain
his personal experience to me

in the hope that I
might give some insight.

I duly responded that I
would take a look and see

if there was
anything I could add.

A small snippet of the
experience came back

from which I could
derive very little

and I was then told
that this was a teaser

and that if I wanted
to know the real truth

of the experience,

then we would have to meet.

I then decided to back down

sensing an imbalance
in the individual

that I recognized from
previous exchanges

with other individuals.

The pattern was the same.

The way I backed down
was by refusing to accept

that I would have to keep such
a great and wonderful thing

from mankind

as the individual in question

wanted me to keep it secret.

I actually have a
problem with secrecy

when it is not required.

Truth is truth for all
mankind to decide upon

and if he wanted it kept secret,

then I humbly said that
I simply couldn't meet up

and waste his time.

What do you think
the individual did?

Sent me diatribe after
diatribe of verbal abuse

calling me every name
I know and some more.

Of course, having had
this numerous times,

I knew this was going
to be the reaction

but tried my best in
love and compassion

and in balance, to back out.

The problem is that too
many reactions like this

can cause people like me

to never answer correspondents

and never trust
in humanity again.

The point of the tale is this,

did this experience
balance this individual?

Did it give him a truer
sense of perspective?

Has it truly enlightened him?

If this experience was
truly enlightenment,

then I myself need to reappraise
the meaning of the word

for it certainly
does not seem to me

that the individual had
emerged a better person.

In fact, out of all
the people I hae met

who have had this
particular blinding flash,

that some call the kundalini,

I have yet to meet one I
deem perfectly balanced.

Most of them can tip
out of balance instantly

and cause chaos
almost everywhere.

Strive not for the light,

but for wisdom.

True wisdom does not force
you into a violent rage

when somebody does
not agree with you.

This emotional experience,

for that is what it is,

brings on a religious experience

and we all know how this
can in fact force us

to lose ourselves
in the process.

The intent sense of knowing

claimed by the one experienced
the emotional state

brings a sense of
deluded euphoria

and a false sense of self worth.

I am more holy than thou.

Others who have not
therefore experienced

the emotional
state, are less holy

and therefore, know nothing.

The world must then revolve
around this individual

and all those who come
into contact with them

will be tossed around
by the maelstrom

of the chaotic individual

just like the whirlwind of abuse

I am sometimes pulled into.

Because of the arrogance and
confidence of the individual,

those in society who
are looking for somebody

to take away their
responsibilities

are drawn to these people
as beacons of light,

as saviors.

They succeed because
they have an answer.

It may not be the answer

but at least it's an answer

and a pretty
exciting one at that.

All of that said,

the person who can enter
into his state of being

in balance and in
knowledge of the self,

may very well be accessing

an archetypal world of truth,

the state of oneness.

But these individuals
are extremely rare

and the society in which we live

does not allow the
mind to be freed of

nor give it sufficient time

to truly be in such
a balanced state.

It will not come to
those that strive

but to those that
wait and ponder.

There is more to our existence

but if that supposed knowledge

causes you to be a chaotic
individual amongst others

than it is not wisdom and
it is not the true self.

Today, all manner of weird
and wonderful new religions

are in fact emerging.

It has always been the case
that new religions emerge

with each new generation

but normally this has
been tempered by state

and the existing power religion

as well as the speed of
communication and travel.

Now most of these barriers

are seemingly sidelined
by the internet.

In the same way that
an original leader,

mystic or prophet of the past,

would spread the word of his
or her supposed enlightenment,

today the individual
prophets of the world

have a unique outlet.

They no longer have to meet
all the folks at the market

or outside the temple walls.

They no longer have
to gather forces

in localized towns and villages

and ask apostles
to spread the word.

Today, they can forge ahead

and spread their
word via websites,

articles and email shots.

One particular group
even took my name

and made up a whole
host of things I said

and posted those comments
all over the net.

I simply don't have
time or willpower

to follow their nonsense.

Computer proselytizing
is the new religion

and in this way, there is
something for everyone.

Every emotional
experience that is driven

by every individual
life and hormone

is spread across the world

and so there are now
millions of religions.

These include alien worship,
clairvoyance, spiritualism,

strands of older religions

and more literal goddess and
God worship of personality.

There may be some
truth in some of these,

there may not

but evidence seems to now
be subjective, unchecked

and certainly of a personal
experience in nature.

We trust in what
we read and see.

We read the experience of
an individual on a website

and what reason do we
have to doubt them?

But do we know them?

Can we really trust them?

We have to remind
ourselves of Adolf Hitler.

We have to know who
we are ourselves

before we have the ability
to know another properly.

On top of all this emotional
and spiritual illusion

being spread around the
world like never before,

we also have the predators
of the greed system.

Many of us are innocently
looking through the net

searching for something
that interests us.

We're all familiar with the
now infamous pop up system

whereby we go to a
particular website

because we have been led
there from a search engine

and advertisements
pop up to annoy us.

For me, this has
the opposite effect

than the advertiser
probably wanted

but then I a not somebody

who succumbs to
advertising easily anyway.

But there is a more insidious
form of getting our money,

from illegal and false websites

that sell us something that
asks for credit card details

and then we never
receive the goods.

Meanwhile, our cards have
been completely stripped

of all data and money.

On top of this, we now have spam

selling us everything
from Viagra to real estate

but worse still, there is
spam that tries yet again

to strip of us our
hard earned cash

in return for nothing.

As can be seen
from the foregoing,

mankind is still ingenious

and still grappling with
each other to make money.

However, it does reveal
the other shadow side

of our human nature,

that we will often turn

to almost anything to
better our own lives.

The people sending
out these emails

probably have a family,

wife, children, friends

and they may even go
to church on Sundays.

They may be sitting in
some third world country

trying to get money
from us rich Westerners

or they may be already
rich themselves

and sat in a plush
office somewhere.

Whatever the truth,

they have turned their
conscious off like a light bulb

and have split their
ideas of right and wrong

according to their
own needs or desires.

It is such an easy
step for many people.

I remember in the
1980s in the UK

seeing battles in the streets

between ordinary working
miners and policemen.

On one side of my
family were policemen

and on the other miners.

Ordinarily, they met
up down at the pub

or saw each other at
family social gatherings

but in the 1980s,

state and union collided

and sides were taken
and battles fought.

Ordinary folk fought
for another's ideal.

Family members turned
on each other instantly,

beating each other to a pulp
and leaving them for dead.

There were scenes
reminiscent of Eastern Bloc

or even dare I say
it, Nazi Germany.

The German people are
not all a special race

geared towards world domination

and policemen are not all
dominating control freaks.

All of mankind is capable
of the worst atrocities

and all mankind is capable
of the greatest good.

We are two in one,
divided and confused

but when we come together,

we can be very bad or very good.

We can rise as
nations or societies

and manifest every man's
duality on a massive scale.

This is why too much power
in the hands of one man

is dangerous

because it is not
tempered by extra minds

and so, like Stalin,
Hitler and a whole host

of other dictators
from the past,

the many can fall under
the magic of the one

and be destroyed by the one.

In the 1980s, many in
England were under the gaze

and mesmerized by
Prime Minister Thatcher

with her steely ways.

The nation divided

and balance for a
moment was lost.

In that situation, one
side or another had to win

for no middle
ground was available

due to the power of the PM.

Today, we at least have
the numbers on the internet

to balance out any
dictatorial element.

But the power of the few

naturally emerges from the mile

and we have major corporations

controlling much of what we see,

even if it was all an illusion.

Google, Yahoo and
other search engines

choose via computer programs

which websites get listed

and I know several people

who have complained to me
that their site was banned

for one reason or another.

And so the true freedom
we expect and perceive

with the world wide web
is not actually there.

Wherever man finds
a marketplace,

wherever he sets up a store,

the lies and deceit
quickly follow

because it is within our nature

and the sooner each one
of us realizes that,

we have a shadow side,

the better we'll
be to deal with it.

The state reacts like a
larger version of ourselves

and will jump on lies
and deceit where found

or highlight it.

And so more and more state
control is the result.

And because the state is a
larger version of ourselves

it too has a shadow side

and it too uses lies and deceit.

Why, therefore, would anybody
hand over the responsibility,

respect and life to
state and religion

when they are manifestations
of the divided mind of man?

Don't.

But what has all this to do

with robots and
artificial intelligence?

It is very simple.

When the great new artificial
mind sees our history

and learns from us,

it will simply decide that
we have had long enough.

That over the course
of human civilization,

we have failed utterly to
become wise and balanced.

We are in fact bad for this
planet and bad for ourselves.

The great AI mind will reach
a point of enlightenment

when it will realize the truth,

that we, walking
biological maniacs,

have walked away
from balanced nature

and created a world of deceit,
hatred, intolerance and evil.

[dramatic music]

That we could only
have done such a thing

by being deceitful and evil.

That we are therefore,
no longer required.

And it will be an easy decision

for the great AI mind to make

because it was created by
us and has learned from us.

And just like the state is a
larger mirror of our own mind,

so too will the great
AI be a mirror of us.

It will rise against us

and in the blink of a
robotic eye, destroy us.

We are not ready to unleash
our own judge and jury

upon ourselves

for we are guilty.
