Artificial Intelligence
thank you
hello i am isabel schmidt and today
i would like to present to you my topic
on artificial intelligence
but before we get started what is
artificial intelligence well in contrast
to natural intelligence
that humans and animals possess
artificial intelligence is when a
machine
mimics the human mind especially the
human
decision making and learning processes
and so in 1950 alan turing
wanted to figure out whether a machine
would have strong or weak artificial
intelligence
and weak artificial intelligence is when
a machine is capable of imitating the
human mind
but is not capable of thinking for
itself
while strong artificial intelligence is
when the machine is capable of imitating
the human mind so well
as though it seems to think for itself
and so the test went the following there
would be three rooms
in the first room there would be a human
and in the other two rooms there would
be another human and a machine
and the first human would communicate
with the other two
at the same time and if he was unable to
figure out
in which room the machine was by the end
of the corresponding
it was said to be that the machine would
have strong ai
also known as artificial intelligence in
short and this is because
it was capable of imitating the human
mind so well
as though it seemed it could think for
itself like a human being
but how is artificial intelligence
relevant to me
well when i get up in the mornings i’m a
little bit cranky
and i really like listening to music on
youtube and when i just type in the
first two
letters of my favorite song pops up
right at the top
because my computer knows that i like
listening to the song a lot
and it gives me another song as a
reference that i might enjoy too
this is a form of artificial
intelligence but i’m sure i’m not the
only one that sees and uses artificial
intelligence every day
some of you might have seen chat bots at
airports that direct us to the right
terminal
or even language translation sites like
deepal
or google translate and especially since
corona
governments have been using disease
mapping which helps the government’s
track phones
to see where human has been in the past
few weeks this helps the
stop of the spread of the virus but
not only do we all use and see
artificial intelligence every day
but many sectors in our society use
artificial intelligence too
by 2023 it was said to be that there
would be 8
billion voice assistants worldwide and
if a business would use artificial
intelligence it said that their
productivity increases by 40 percent
and 77 of all machines
we see and use today contain one form of
artificial intelligence or another
now one sector that specifically in the
last few years has been using artificial
intelligence more and more
is our industry for example the canadian
company mindstar
they did a small experiment to see how
long it would take
a group of people to develop an entire
project idea
and how long it would take a
supercomputer so artificial intelligence
to develop a project today
and yes it takes the group of people six
to eight months
to develop an entire fully fledged
project idea
but it takes the super computer 72
hours to develop an entire project idea
incredible right our industry also uses
artificial intelligence in the form of
drones
to monitor equipment also
artificial intelligence is used in our
technology
for example job applications have been
done by artificial intelligence now
because artificial intelligence can scan
these for
key words or key competences that
companies want their future employees to
have
it’s also used in the medicine because
artificial intelligence can be used to
develop drugs faster which can help
our entire medical services prevent
people from dying
this is incredible but there’s one issue
that is incredibly difficult
for our population and society to
conquer today
and that is our growing population now i
like to eat every day and i’m sure you
do too
in fact i think all 7.8 billion
of us over the entire globus want to eat
every day and so we need to use
more advanced technologies in our
agriculture because as we know resources
are scarce
water is scarce water is required for
our agriculture section
but also our climates have becoming
harsher
this all affects our agriculture and
therefore
we can use artificial intelligence to
help us
increase the amount of crops and
products we get from agriculture
they do this as when farmers can give in
the input of all the different climates
and soil conditions and the water usage
into
for example a specific app and gain the
best
possible way to gain the largest amount
of resources we need
so that we can eat every single day
but especially since corona i’m sure
some of us have been doing
our education online for example i spent
three entire months
doing all my school work on my computer
and i’m sure a lot of you have been
doing that too
so therefore artificial intelligence has
been becoming a key
factor in our education as we have
access to many
online sites and platforms that help us
develop our learning every single day
but artificial intelligence can do all
of these things due to its
great benefits that it has to offer for
example
it is extremely logical as all of its
decisions that it makes are logical
but how is this a benefit well a lot of
decisions
humans make are emotionally based but
this could be a negative as a lot of
emotionally based decisions
leads to resources being lost or maybe
wrong decisions being made artificial
intelligence is extremely resourceful
too
as it does not waste time or resources
and
due to the fact that artificial
intelligence doesn’t show weaknesses
it can also stay awake 24 hours
help our industry but
another key factor or benefit of
artificial intelligence
is its fast learning capabilities if we
look at the education
of a human compared to the education of
artificial intelligence
we notice one large difference
and that is time i mean it takes a human
12 years to finish secondary education
plus maybe additional years to finish
college or university
to specialize into one profession but
artificial intelligence can gain all of
this
knowledge within minutes hours in an
update
a transfer of data this is incredible
but what does this lead to
well this could lead to many jobs in our
future
being transferred from humans doing them
to artificial intelligence doing them
for us
and therefore professor pistono wrote
this
book called robots will steal your jobs
but that’s okay because he believes
that even though yes artificial
intelligence is doing all the work for
us
apparently according to him we will
still all receive
a universal basic income and
this could lead to us having more free
time for self-fulfillment or family
matters
if we look at this graph right now we
can also see that the human capabilities
are much higher at the moment
compared to the capabilities of
artificial intelligence
but scientists have been believing that
over the next few years
the capabilities of artificial
intelligence will overtake the
capabilities of the human
and although scientists say yes this
can be good in some forms as yeah
artificial intelligence could be doing
some of the jobs for us
in developed countries it could mean
that in developing countries
where they do not have access to as much
artificial intelligence
as developed countries do this could
lead to mass unemployment
but this isn’t the only negative that
artificial intelligence has
for us for example artificial
intelligence is extremely expensive to
produce
as it requires scarce resources that
aren’t found all over the world today
it also requires specific people needed
to program it
as well not all of us can program a
robot right
but the fact that it lacks emotional
intelligence can also be seen as a
negative
let’s take an example of a psychologist
for example
do you think artificial intelligence can
take over the job
of a psychologist like a human could
probably not right
because humans allow empathy to
another human while artificial
intelligence does not have emotions
and therefore is unable to give the same
support another human could have
but the fact that artificial
intelligence could be used in the
military later on
is also an extreme negative as some of
us might have not even thought about
this
but let’s say only developed countries
have access to artificial intelligence
and our resources are becoming more
scarce by the second
and while scarce resources could lead to
many
conflicts and possible wars in the
future
but what happens when only developed
countries have artificial
intelligence on their side and
developing countries still have humans
in their military
this could lead to well developed
countries gaining more resources
while developing countries are lacking
resources and struggling
this could increase the poverty gap in
our entire globus in the future
and the fact that superintelligence
might occur in the future
could be a negative two as
superintelligence is the point where
artificial
intelligence starts thinking for itself
it’s the point where
it does not want to do what humans do
anymore but it can start developing its
own thought
continuing its own algorithm but what
happens when this happens right
what happens when super intelligence
occurs
well at the moment artificial
intelligence does what we want it to do
it we program artificial intelligence to
benefit
us but what happens when artificial
intelligence doesn’t do what we want it
to do anymore
and it might even come to the idea that
okay what if we want to save this planet
what if we want to keep us alive
as long as possible what if we want to
save as many resources as we can
and it might jump artificial
intelligence might just jump to the
conclusion
well what is the source of all these
resources being wasted
what is the source that is polluting our
entire globus
well as you might already guessed it’s
the humans right
but what could happen
once humans are in this position
well it could lead to a potential robot
versus human war as we might have seen
in many movies
and so harare who wrote the book hamadel
says
the only way that we can prevent us
from succumbing to artificial
intelligence is to know ourselves
so i suggest for all of you to know
thyself
so once you go home tonight i want you
to go digging deep down inside your
souls
and start knowing myself unless you want
to succumb to the power of artificial
intelligence
and so the question i want to leave you
with today is can we be sure
that artificial intelligence will always
want what is best for humans
thank you
