Machine Learning: Living in the Age of AI | A WIRED Film

“Machine Learning: Living in the Age of AI,” examines the extraordinary ways in which people are interacting with AI today. Hobbyists and teenagers are now developing tech powered by machine learning and WIRED shows the impacts of AI on schoolchildren and farmers and senior citizens, as well as looking at the implications that rapidly accelerating technology can have. The film was directed by filmmaker Chris Cannucciari, produced by WIRED, and supported by McCann Worldgroup.

When I was little we were memorizing multiplication and division tables. These kids are learning about neural networks.

[camwheel]

Cool. But can we talk about the old guy's sweet flight simulator setup?

[jayofman]

5 minutes in and I can say I'm not frightened of AI I'm frightened of the motives of those who control it!
We should all have our own personal decentralised AI.

The farmer words at the end of the video summaries it perfectly: You never know what the future holds but you have to be ready for it.

[glitzamatsch]

I want to watch this again in 20 years

[leonardogarrido]

I am 41, I wish I had had the education those kids were getting. The string activity was awesome to understand how connected we are

[joannot]

I want to become like that old man when I grow up.

People can be for or against this technology but one thing is guaranteed.-- It's here and it's here to stay.

on one hand: This whole video feels like "Dr. Frankenstein asks public what they think of his monster"

but on the other hand: This is pretty spectacular.

It is not a question if AI is good or bad. It is a question of using it in a good or bad way. Another thing is many people resist change of any type. Resisting change means that those people will be totally unable to cope when the change becomes everywhere.

I wish this video was around when I was doing a school presentation on this 😅 Thank you Wired!

“When you don’t know what you can’t see, you almost don’t know you need help.”

That is fairly profound.

At the start i thought he was gonna say “play despacito” 😂

30:50 "... but it can also be used to create [bubbles] that only give us certain information, it can be used to monitor our behavior, sell our personal information. You can imagine it going to insurance compainies that look at our searches and deny us coverage."

None of that is hypothetical. All of that is already happening currently, and has been for some time now.

When I was 7, we owned a VCR and used one in class, that was 14 years ago im 21, now im streaming 4K video to my VR headset, needless to say, we've made exponential leaps forward.

If you really dig in deeper to find A.I's and machine learning reaching capabilities then they're really greater than us but always in specific sense. They doesn't posses capability to be more general like human but they outperform humans by incredible power in given specific tasks.

[BotanicalOdyssey]

I LOVE that old guy at the beginning of this documentary! So nice to see people that destroy stereotypes!

[sagishorts]

Technology looks beautiful in a documentary, when you try to learn it's a job

[SoCalFreelance]

"I could spend all day in here", O RLY, have you seen Black Mirror episode San Junipero?

[VengD]

My problem with ai like Sophia, is that it makes it feel like a scam :P
Sophia has very clearly been programmed beforehand and "her" creators has punched in what to answer in that particular interview.
And there might be ai in there, but how they present it, seems like they're trying to us believe she is something, which she clearly isn't.
I mean, take video games... Calling the baddies "ai" with their pretty basic movement and decisions in fine. None of us call the characters in the cutscene for ai. Sophia feels like a cutscene.
