The future of AI, work, and human potential | Lars Thomsen | TEDxHWZ

[thriveatworkwithWaqasMalik]

Incredible, Thank you Sir. Totally agree and I felt all these things while using AI daily ❤

[jayDotTee]

When they invented the tractor, you could finish work that required 3, 4 people and 2-3 days in hours. Did we take the time difference to spend with our families or enjoy life? No! We just went on to work even larger pieces of land, had less time and bonded less with our family and community

He really dwelled in that popcorn story

I like the excitement, the optimism and the vision. Just don't know if our society is ready do let all of us benefit from all of that nirvana he, and also me, thinks we can get to (or at least possible). Humans are too greedy to let such a strong power be used for the good of all.

[BruceWayne]

This is a great way to look at it, and I think it's quite accurate. One caveat I would add is that we need to be cognizant of the effect that AI is going to have on the economy. As it becomes more capable it's going to drive labor costs down, especially when AI can completely replace a human. This is going to cause deflation as less competitive companies employ AI to outcompete their larger competitors. This will spark a price war that lowers prices to the new normal. The problem with this is that your $500k home loan is still $500k even though you're now earning 1/10th what you used to make. The same is true with the national debt. There are ways to artificially inflate the economy, we could institute UBI or something like it. But regardless of the solution, we're in for some major changes in the near future as the definition of work and the economy itself will demand a second glance.

Hi thanks for this great talk. I appreciate the new terminology you suggest: ambient and/or augmented intelligence. I also agree that (at least for moment) AI is a tool that gives us superpowers that we've never had before and will probably find very useful if we can figure them out.

While fundamentally a tool, it seems as though AI is a Most Unusual Tool in that it's closer to general purpose (very good at nearly everything) as opposed to being very good at only one or two things. This naturally makes it very useful, but it also makes it dangerous. Hopefully we'll be able to learn how to properly use this tool before we hurt ourselves too much.

thanks again and cheers!

This assumes we will still have jobs. As soon as corporations are able to build out agents to do complex tasks and they all begin communicating with one another at speeds we can't really follow, many of us will go from working alongside AI to being replaced by it.

[catatonicbug]

AI will likely create a much larger difference between the "haves" and the "have nots." Those who can learn to leverage the power of AI to improve themselves and the world around them will benefit immensely. Those who do not will become the product of the AI tools built by others and be sidelined by society.

AI will fundamentally change the way we work and our expectations of the world around us, much the same way that the internet has over the last 30 years.

[larsfaye]

Uh huh. Heard it all before. And the machine didn't learn, it was trained. Nuanced but massive difference. There's not been a machine to date that has LEARNED anything.

[SirChadWilliams]

Will we be creating a AI based job finding site 🖖

[benderthefourth]

I don't think so. We've been promised the same thing in the past. We should've been in a age were we're supposed to work 20-30 hours! We are working more, older and with less money. Ai will just transfer the wealth into the 1% and we will be working in factories.

[jsbgmc]

I guess that's the bedtime story he tells his kids every night 🥱. Sleep tight little ones, everything will be fine.

[sergkapitan]

I wonder that these people almost never talk about Basic Unconditional Income for such 😢Think it through! That must be very logical conclusion, that our week hours must go down, we must spend more time on creative activity... What we have now for most of us: hard long work everyday wearing us, etc. 😮

[mindyindy]

If you only have to work a few hours for one day a week, how will you make money to survive? Every person that talks about all the great stuff we'll do IN OUR FREE TIME must be elite and doesn't realize that we won't be able to make money if AI replaces most or all of our jobs. In our capitalist society, it doesn't add up for humans to make a living wage only working a few hours a week. I just hope that something new and better will come along to solve the problems that AI will cause, or else we'll start to see societal collapse.

[abdullahhazari]

Problem is that to many pepol in west are talking about ai/robots meanwhile in china they are working on it 😢

[RASDKB]

I couldn't listen any further than till 5:50. Sorry, but interesting popcorn story, anyway.

[abdullahhazari]

Mass automatisation and digitalisation of production will lead us to comunism

[AnnabelaIseabal]

Thanks for the breakdown! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[YorkBurne-Jones]

Very good video! I have TRC20 USDT in my OKX wallet and I have my recovery phrase: (pride pole obtain together second when future mask review nature potato bulb) How do I transfer them to Binance?
