How many of you think he looks like Steve Jobs !
Your presentation was excellent and commendable. The exponential opportunities that AI technologies can provide to the world are compelling, to say the least. However, your presentation FAILED to address the core issues, such as safety, ethics, and possible abuse of power by the "physical people" behind AI technologies. I use "physical people" because AI technologies may in the future receive personhood like some mountains in New Zealand. 🙂
With regards to humans losing jobs… well, that will be the reality anyhow.
Ahh, 10-12 billion humans in the next 10 years …and continuously growing!
Humans must educate themselves and innovate exponentially to align with the AI world or go extinct like the dinosaurs.
There will still be uses for humans, such as doing menial jobs, where AI technologies may not be economical.
These are some of the ugly realities in the future. 😞
22 mins of midwit slop.
This guy epitomizes the liberal global gnostic narcism that has already infected machine learning and AI in the womb.
Algorithm
How can be so chill in front of that huge audience!!!!😢😢
I don't know and I am sorry I haven't really listened to this but title.
Yes I guess I am having in a way for most of the people is with intensity experience. But in a way I am experiencing AI course with people's brains. Well well.
One more thing about Al. Would they be able to smell?
While listening to music at home, I experienced a strange feeling, as if an alien race was about to invade. 😅😅😅😅
The public could care less about AI. For us its all hype, with the reality that AI will be used to spy, collect data, and make our working conditions miserable. No thank-you Mr Steve Jobs Wana be…
Absolutely fantastic ! So accurate 2 years ago . Thank you.
Yuval Noah Harari gets closer to the point by saying that AIs are an alien intelligence, increasingly independent from us. We are definitely not AIs, as Mustafa points out towards the end.
What will happen if for any reason All data that humans have vanished from the cloud data… Everything will again start from the beginning? Cause AI will make people lazy
What guardrails are we putting in place if bad actors utilize this tool in a harmful way? There is bound to be someone who will push the envelope and there are people who want to watch the world burn. What if they get their hands on this tool?
99% riddles and metaphors. He thinks he can talk chinese to a german and expect a conversation
Mr Suleyman answered NO ! to the question of potential dangers.
This man is out of his depth, has an air of entitled arrogance, and is simply misleading.
Of course there are dangers! And they need to be acknowledged, recognized and dealt with.
AI will redesign itself, it's not an algorithm its machine learning!
Wow, what an average take on the subject.. Wish there was a 3x speed option on YT, at 2x it was immensely boring
When new Alexa says, you're looking rather sad today, would you like me to bring you a little drink? Brings it to me, then tips it over my head and says, that for upsetting me yesterday. Then I'll be convinced it's not just an overhyped gimmick!
God help us all🙏!!!
It all depends on who controls the AI. AI is fantastic and will help in health, productivity and convenience but how will it be regulated and controlled globally.
Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice😮 AI'd? Oh, no!
The AI is not creative, it just copy-pastes chunks of peoples inventions and ideas that happened in the past. It simply cannot make up something trully NEW that has never been invented id the past by humans.
Nice 👍
People will not let AI feed millions/billion of hungry people, even if AI want to……I have full confidence in people ability to block AI from sharing gains to everyone….
AI sounds like an all powerful genie in a digital bottle ready to grant the user's every wish.
AI is made by man man can break it
Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
