Is Human Data Enough? With David Silver
10 Apr 2025 · 50 min
Episode notes
In this episode of Google DeepMind: The Podcast, VP of Reinforcement Learning, David Silver, describes his vision for the future of AI, exploring the concept of the "era of experience" versus the current "era of human data". Using AlphaGo and AlphaZero as examples, he highlights how these systems surpassed human capabilities by engaging in reinforcement learning without prior human knowledge. This approach contrasts with large language models, which depend on human data and feedback. Silver emphasizes the need to explore this path to drive AI progress and achieve artificial superintelligence.

The mathematics of AI uncertainty
Now, if you ask an AI a question, it will usually give you an absolute answer with unwavering authority, even if that answer turns out to be wrong. In fact, today's AI seems to be missing a fundamental human trait: self-doubt. As a professor at Cambridge and VP of Research at Google DeepMind, Zoubin finds himself at the heart of an interesting debate: will improving machine uncertainty be one of the missing pieces to ever improving AI?
