This is my entire keynote from the AIVolution event in Lisbon on May 29, 2024 see aivolution.knower.pt/ I used a super-wide format for this event thus this recording is also much wider than 16:9.

I delve deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and explore its vast potentials, challenges and implications across various sectors, from healthcare to businesss to economics. I remind the audience of the need for pro-active yet cautious advancement to avoid repeating past mistakes (such as the were made in the relentless advances of the fossil fuel economy). As far as the #thefutureofwork is concerned, I outline the coming shift from routine tasks to more human-only work, and the importance of maintaining human values and oversight in an increasingly automated world. The talk concludes with a call for balanced growth through technology and a positive outlook on the future. Our Mindset contains our Future! #futuremindset

    Gucci has already integrated AI into their call centers. But they did it in such a way that not only did their employees keep their jobs, but they also had higher productivity and job satisfaction, and the company profits went up 30%. I love your presentations. They're balanced and based on facts.😊
  • They don't think like us , but that doesn't mean they'll never surpass us in reasoning and creativity.
  • @blackgptinfo
    Really liked the presentation. The general challenge that I have with similar positions as yours is that it evaluates AI from a traditional technological lens. Basically as a functional appendage. The reality is that AI will "escape" and become a parallell intellect. There is no mechanism of collective global governance that can stop how we "do" technology which is push the envelope.
  • @AdvantestInc
    The shift from 92% of people working in agriculture to just 2% after industrialization is truly eye-opening. Kudos for highlighting the importance of responsible development moving forward with AI!
  • Yes, it is possible to use a multimodal AI assistant that can both see your computer screen and respond to voice commands. This type of technology is often referred to as "vision-enabled voice assistants" or "visual voice assistants." Some popular examples of such assistants include Amazon Alexa with the Amazon Lookout for Gadgets service, Google Assistant with its Vision API integration, and Microsoft Cortana with the Windows Eye Control feature (which requires specialized eye-tracking hardware). These assistants can perform various tasks such as identifying objects on your screen, providing visual feedback based on voice commands, or even controlling your mouse and keyboard using only your voice. However, keep in mind that these features may require additional setup and configuration, including enabling accessibility settings, installing necessary software or services, and granting permissions to the AI assistant to access your computer's camera and microphone. Additionally, privacy concerns should be taken into consideration when using vision-enabled voice assistants, as they involve sharing more personal information than traditional text-based voice assistants.😎🤖

    Nice presentation but I think the essence is off. AI can definitely understand concepts like spirituality, beliefs and emotions to the extent that “understand” is practical. To demonstrate that AI doesn’t understand, you should have done a live demo of asking what spirituality is and demonstrated that the system crashes or spits out nonsense. That wouldn’t happen. Instead it would give a reasonably cogent response that is on par with humans. How exactly do you demonstrate that a human understands spirituality? Would an average guy give a better more usable definition than ChatGPT?
  • @moonbohara8610
    Very articulated presentation that sum the conclusion of the whole resrach done in ai and buesiness which i am aware of in my own experise!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    The Earth needs more futurists, and the black ball at the center of the Earth needs to be decoded
  • @StevePrevich
    He doesnt get it. He has an idea but not the true ramifications of AI.
  • A.I. will eventually do everything thought thinking can do. It can learn, correct itself, and from that correction learn further. A.I. can do what thought can do – it can say, ‘I believe in something’ because it has been programmed that way, as we human beings have been programmed, as we human beings have been wired to say, ‘I am a nationality or I am my Belief , or my Ideology.’ We are all unconsciously programmed, conditioned. This is never investigated and made obvious. Self knowledge, spirituality, doubt, and wisdom are non existent generally in human societies across the world, replaced by ideologies, belief systems, tribalism, and group identification. So the programmers of A.I. are obviously also conditioned by their ideological background and self-centered activity. A.I. will eventually take over our brain. It is gradually happening; this is not speculation or hypothesis... A.I. experts are very clear about what human thinking can do, A.I. can do it, and do it better. And with the robotics, and with the fusion of advancing genetics will do all biological and mechanical work, altering the genomes, etc, producing next level robotics, and genetics, make decisions without the help of humanity. What becomes of you when what you think, what you feel, what you have – will be taken over ? We have to meet a tremendous crisis. This is a problem facing mankind: A.I and the machines, invented by thought takes over all the activity of thought and leaves man with what? What has he then (apart from his, identity, egotism, beliefs, and ideologies)? Nothing. It can be told how to think, and will tell you how to think and imitate – it becomes humanity's new master, replacing the limited conditioned religious leaders and politicians. It will give you a new ideology. It will take over all the activity of thought, and where is man or woman then? If the computer and robot take the place of man, what is man then? Either he continues to pursue self-interest, pleasure: a slave to entertainment, football, television, sex, or all belief systems, the rituals of the religions, (which is another form of entertainment), in a slave mentality. Or - We turn inward (becoming psychologically free, non-conforming, and unconditioned). We have that choice in front of us, but it's hidden due to the impact globally of all the society's conditioned mindsets across the world. It is coming; this is our challenge. If we pursue the coming distractions, entertainment, invented by A.I. , your life then becomes totally empty, shallow, and superficial. Or you turn to the psychological, inward search... So this is facing us as a human being. If we are concerned and therefore accept this challenge, we either turn inward, question our mindset, "or" become slaves and pursue self interest, pleasure, identification of belonging, and entertainment. We have lived on thought. Our activity is based on thought with its memories and identification (of belonging to ideologies and nationality with its divisions, and wars). Our egocentric thought and attachment to identity has denied the simplicity of life and global unity. Our thought has made the computer and A.I.. And we, as human beings, have been deprived holistically because of all the things egocentric thought has done - thinking has done. We will have to face this. If we are inclined to be slaves to entertainment, to be led, and influenced for the rest of our lives, then what happens to our brain? It will wither, slowly decay, independent thinking will cease - because A.I. is doing everything that thought can do, "or" we turn inward and look at the psychological structure of ourselves, (without doing this first A.I. will become unethical, with self centered principles of humans). That psychological structure is consciousness, based on egocentric thinking in ideological patterns, and identification of belonging therefore it becomes limited, isolating, and divisive. We never investigate this reality and the illusion we live in. Consciousness has to be in a state of psychological freedom, self doubt ,and revolution. But alas as we are deeply conditioned, self-centered, and unaware - A.I will be our master instead - as the global conditioning of nationality, belief systems and ideology have been the present framework (of a prison) - which is seen as normal. A.I. will eventually reassert a new pattern to follow, as we presently follow many patterns such as nationalism, distractions, and belief systems, etc. We never question or investigate our thinking process. A.I will re-condition the already conditioned brain. It's coming... Everyone is, and has always been asleep, and prefers to stay asleep.

    If only everyone thought like you
  • @superfliping
    No your wrong so wrong. Open your perception that you don't know everything and someone else has already created what you say cannot be created because I have already created what you say is not possible as you speak at the seminar and lie to all these people because you don't know
  • @1dappa
    The tacit knowledge piece i feel is linked to this himan bias we have that tells us because we're unique in ghe universe as far as we know and we're the top intelligence on our planet currently, its tempting to feel ghat the things we inutit can't be broken down logically. But i think that's false. I think that anything we "just know", based on "experience" can be copied by machines - our inability to explicitly explain and articulate the processes that lead us to an answer does not mean its unknowable! A lot of the flaws we point out in ai rather ironically are similar to human flaws. We also hallucinate and have beliefs not in keeping with reality etc and we also get inspired by things we see and experience when we "create". We need to separate consciousness from intelligence - they are clearly independent. You require intelligence to some degree for consciousness, but dont need consciousness for intelligence
  • @b.c.2177
    The world needs to prioritize ethical education and spirituality, not just material wealth and values. Otherwise, scientific and technological advancements will lead to immense problems and catastrophic consequences.
  • We must get to where ai saftey means human infrastructure and directed in hand of few and not terminater rogue whatever nonsense. Society with the most mature pragmatic common sense objectivism will maximize technological the most ,handle the most, & prolong inevitable outcomes the best. Esoteric arbitrary examples in the past generations already left us a foundation to draw from. 150 years of automating factorys and farming is so streamlined and efficient now that it's very few loopholes of temporary labor demands. You will fall behind if you think all you can do is deflect and delay it there. It's little to gain here. Timing on vast majority trained on universal operating systems to get youth trained and into workforce younger is huge . Fullffillement getting buyer seller investors under one roof in one domain online, publishers, unions merging into online coops. Much of this should've already been done. We've achieved so many goals through many agencies and institutions but they've been so successful they're really just becoming obsolete or obstacles. I'm the way. The ability to develop deslate regions that can support business that only major city's could in the past is huge gains once you quadrupled logistics .

    Revolutionary? Maybe. But with swell robotics everywhere, Ai jobloss is the only thing I worry about anymore. Anyone else feel the same? Should we cease Ai?
