Human-level intelligence
Lex Fridman asks Judea Pearl about the long-term goal of human-level machine intelligence. Pearl says the idea has motivated his work, while he approaches research incrementally.
Lex Fridman asks Judea Pearl about the long-term goal of human-level machine intelligence. Pearl says the idea has motivated his work, while he approaches research incrementally.
Pearl imagines machines answering sophisticated counterfactual questions and discusses concepts such as responsibility, compassion and free will. These are his proposed research goals.
A soccer thought experiment
Asked how to test free will, he proposes a thought experiment involving robots communicating about rewards, punishment and responsibility while playing soccer.
Asked how to test free will, he proposes a thought experiment involving robots communicating about rewards, punishment and responsibility while playing soccer.
The question is whether communicating about a missed pass and its consequences helps the team perform better than a system without that kind of reasoning. This is a proposed test, not an established measure of free will.
Pearl argues that a coach’s concise instruction can communicate useful knowledge without directly editing another agent’s software. The recipient must interpret and apply the feedback.
Ethics and self-models
Fridman asks about aligning machine decisions with human values. Pearl says causal reasoning and a model of another person may be important components of an ethical system.

He describes compassion through imagining another person’s experience using a model of oneself. This is his account of a possible mechanism, not proof that a machine experiences empathy.
Pearl then discusses a system modeling its own abilities and possible changes in behavior. He connects this self-model to his account of free will and consciousness; those concepts remain debated.
