The incredible inventions of intuitive AI | Maurice Conti

What do you get when you give a design tool a digital nervous system? Computers that improve our ability to think and imagine, and robotic systems that come up with (and build) radical new designs for bridges, cars, drones and much more -- all by themselves. Take a tour of the Augmented Age with futurist Maurice Conti and preview a time when robots and humans will work side-by-side to accomplish things neither could do alone.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

We put a nervous system in a race car chassis, raced that thing for a week, captured four billion data points and plugged it into an AI that created a 3D model of the ultimate race car chassis... then we went on with our lives, like nothing ever happened, neither build nor tested the damn thing -- thanks for watching!

Since AI can optimize a structure on a molecular level the same way DNA through natural selection does, eventually all manufactured objects will look organic. Taking on coral, crystalline and fractal forms. Future human civilization will truly look alien on an aesthetic level.

As a viewer in 2024, experiencing this video brings a heightened level of interest. Observing it through the lens of our current era, it becomes evident how time has shaped our perception. This serves as a reminder of our progress, technological advancements, and the enduring power of storytelling.

Humans: AI design something to stop climate changes.
AI: *starts skynet*

Forget Augmented Age. I simply want to play music on Youtube app while my smartphone screen is turned off.

computer
make me the most addictive song known to man

[CrniWuk]

This really has aged like fine wine. *Looks at midjourney, DALL-E ...*

[Anonymous-gupk]

I can imagine this video being played on a broken screen in some post-apocalyptic Terminator landscape (particularly the optimistic predictions in the last few minutes).

THIS is a TED talk. Technology, entertainment, design. Not politics, opinions and safety.

i wish i could live for the next 1000 years to see the evolution progress

This reminds me of the documentary, the social dilemma, where they meant for it to connect us but instead it has isolated us and AI and intuitive algorithms are invading ever part of our lives whether we want it to or not, creating a subconscious addiction to tech and actually dumbing us down into docile sheep depending on tech for everything.

I'm still waiting for smart lights so that I don't have to sit at a freaking red light for five minutes when there's no other cars coming in any direction. Just let me go. The only reason I'm sitting here so I don't get a ticket.

remember what agent Smith said? "as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization"

[johnnymcblaze]

This was a very long and drawn out way to say, "we are almost done building skynet, I hope it goes well."

[liamhoward]

I always wanted to hook up all of the stop lights in my city to a central AI to optimize the flow of traffic all throughout the city in multiple different conditions. That would save billions of dollars a year.

Better tools can helps us to build a better life.

Then it gets more interesting. The better tools can build even better tools, until we reach a level at which technology is like magic, and we live in the world that Star Trek did imagine.

[ruthlessadmin]

I 100% absolutely disagree that our tools have been passive. I have never ONCE told a hammer to smack my fingers, yet it happens all the time!!!

Hearing this guy talk about how close we are to all these new technologies reminds me of all the people that said we would have flying cars, robot butlers and cities on the moon by now .
