Artificial Intelligence The impossibility of the inevitable
[Music]
and i am here today to ask of you to do
something simple first
can everyone please close your eyes and
imagine
a future city a utopia where humans and
machines sort of like merge together to
create a thriving society
now please keep that image in your eyes
as you
open them and we continue on with the
rest of the presentation
today i’m gonna talk about artificial
intelligence or as i like to call it
the inevitably i think i mean the
impossibility
of the inevitable so what is ai first
and foremost
a stands for artificial it’s a state
where something is made by humans
it’s manufactured is created
intelligence
is the ability to think to reason to
have logic
and figure out problems on your own when
given so what do we have
when we combine those two artificial
intelligence
an effort by humans to create a machine
that thinks and acts like human
that we can just give problems to and
they will figure out how to solve them
so what are the applications and
advantages of this first off let’s talk
about the opportunities this
is sophia an ai made in
hong kong who is the first ai to
actually gain citizenship
and has a passport she is extremely
technologically
advanced and is able to hold debates ask
questions
questions her own existence at times
even though that might seem kind of
scary
so we’re gonna move on to something a
bit simpler and easier to understand
sorry everyone here knows siri i can say
hey siri call your mom
and some phones will pick up
and syria will your among it’s actually
pretty convenient i use it every now and
then
but it’s an application of ai that is
albeit simple
very close to our daily lives so
what are the middle ground between these
simple and complicated ai
first off it’s a korean airport robot i
have been in korea these robots are
really great
you can tell them hey i need to go to
this gate because i have a flight at
5 pm and it will take you there in
person
you can tell it to take a picture for
you and send it to your family members
and
it would it’s great it’s smart it knows
how to compliment you and stuff too
and this is a robot that’s painting
painting a job that requires a lot of
finesse
and skill in humans is now being
done by a robot how
how weird is that how great is that
actually imagine all the applications we
could use in the field
robots at the surgery that gives
patients
medicines robot that does construction
robot that
kill us right i guess we’re getting to
that
as some a lot of people have pointed out
there is
an a fear of an inevitable robot
apocalypse where the robot thinks
they’re inferior to human and they would
take us over with guns and bombs
so what leads to this actually first off
is charge
humans can make a burger robots they can
also make a burger but with just the
right amount of
buns and mayonnaise and meat for it to
be the best burger you have ever tasted
in your entire life
and we’re afraid of being replaced
secondly
the idea that ai are inherently superior
than us
as demonstrated in irobot starring will
smith
is that the robot thinks of themselves
as something more advanced than us and
they think that
why are we serving these slowly humans
and we should rise up which leads to the
terminator
as some a lot of you have probably seen
and watched you know the games you know
the movies you know the unstoppable
killing machines with rockets that they
are
but i’m not here today to talk about
that i’m here to talk about why we
should not be afraid actually
what are these this is a citizen this
is a movie this is another movie what
are they
the mass media created by the people for
the people
for entertainment and either exaggerate
it or
invent a problem that isn’t existing in
the first place
so be smart consume
with deflated hurricanes comes deflated
self-deception
somebody has to try drugs it may also be
you these are quotes generated by an
ai called inspirobot or as it calls
itself an artificial intelligence
dedicated to generating
countless amounts of inspirational
quotes for humans
now um i can’t speak for everyone in
this room obviously but
some of these quotes are not as
inspirational as others i’m sure
i’m sure so let us go on to
the misconceptions about ai first off
the ais are smarter than us
google’s advanced ai everyone so
they actually need a lot of time to be
smart
how ai works is that you give them a
problem and feed them very little
info and through trial and error they
will figure out a solution
but the key word here is through trial
and error
they have to go through multiple
iterations before they can reach the
level of
perfection that is required to perform
the job that they’re given
and that can take months years if not
centuries
and as shown by a picture here these are
four ais
being told walk and the last one
is better than all the others because
he’s generation 999 that means
he has been doing the same routine of
walking for nearly a thousand times
before he can get to that level of
perfection in a way it’s similar to us
i did a math test last week and i
flopped but if i do that same math test
999 times i will get to
the perfect level so secondly
that air just straight up out of the box
better than
us as demonstrated by a checkers match
between lisa dole and google’s alphago
ai
in which the ai won and actually brought
home a 1 million
dollar prize pool so a lot of people use
this and think that like
ai’s are better than us they’re gonna
take us over and to that my answer is
no what do we have that they don’t
first things first the originality again
ai is a machine you have to feed it
information and it has to go through
a lot of calculating process before it
can come up with
a proper solution or a product
meanwhile us humans have the ability to
go to sleep
to suddenly dream of something that’s
very surreal and out of this world and
may or may not have even
existed in the first place in fact
that’s how ai came to be someone went to
sleep and woke up thinking i’m gonna
make a machine that thinks like a human
and it’s something that machines
themselves can never do because they
need to rely on
information before sorry beforehand
secondly the feelings
we have emotions i’m not saying that ai
can’t have emotions they totally can
but it’s gonna feel very machined and
calculated
if you tell it something and it wants to
react to that the ai have to go through
a process of taking
apart your words and tones and it has to
calculate the context even
and to output an emotion it feels very
sticky done it’s not something organic
or
at least something as organic as when
you tell your friend you killed his pet
stone
and finally what does that lead to the
humanity
we as humans are higher than animals
that’s because we have the corporal
colossus linking our two
sides of the brain that’s because we
have the eq the emotional quotient
ai have iq they’re able to do and think
and calculate things that we almost
never can
but instantly meanwhile ai has i mean
i’m sorry humans have the privilege of
having emotion
a lot of you think that we have human
errors and those are
things that we need to fix we need to
eliminate but have you ever asked
yourself if that’s
what makes us human i can be up here
giving a presentation
five times in a row and each time we
feel different with a different tone
with a different voice
and it will feel somewhat fresh even
with the same content
an ai can come up here gives my
presentation
five times in a row and it will feel
like something you copy and paste it
in five different documents so
it’s just not the same us humans are
humans
the ais cannot replace us simply because
they are a different entity now
i’m not saying that google i mean i’m
not saying that human sucks and ai is
better
neither am i saying that ai sucks and
humans are better
what i’m saying is that we are different
so how about we work together think back
to the utopia i told you to imagine at
the beginning of the presentation
what if in that society humans are the
one who comes up with the idea
who has the vision who has the purpose
in life
and ai is the one who helps us actually
doing it what if ai can help us in
constructing buildings
and humans can think of those buildings
in the first place
and i guess my main point today is just
why are we pushing the ai away
or why are we afraid that they’re gonna
take us over
why do we keep seeing this imaginary
non-existent
future of robots pointing guns at our
faces and
make us submit to them why are we
afraid so please
give them a chance i conclude my
[Applause]
