Charlie compares the elevator to a "Chinese Box" - a thought experiment asking whether there is a difference between a computer algorithmically responding to sentences typed it in Chinese and a person who doesn't speak Chinese following the same algorithms as the computer. He explains how it is an example of the Turing test.

Research into drugs produces so much data that it is a long and tedious process to create and find a new drug to treat different diseases. Artificial intelligence is helping the research process in finding patterns and keywords most helpful in the large amounts of data cell research has.
In this clip, Charlie suggests using an evolutionary algorithm to search for abnormal behavior after a murder occurs in a video game with a real-life component. Evolutionary algorithms imitate the biological process of natural selection to find optimal solutions.
Charlie explains, at a high level, how prime numbers are used in modern encryption. He mentions that solving the Riemann Hypothesis could help decrypt current present day encryption, unlocking passwords and bank account information.
