Artificial Intelligence will never exist but it is much better than that | Charlie Vollmer | TEDxCSU

I think if I ever hear the word "incredible" again, used so frequently and improperly, I'll tear my hair out.

[khwabvachhani]

Hello everyone, I am from India and i am currently in class 12th. Now i have this very big doubt on weather i should take B.Tec in CSE or AI. I want to persue my career in AI and i will doing till PhD. What my parents thinks that i should take CSE for B.Tec, coz if i don't like AI then i would not be left with more options, and what my side is, that i just love AI, like i literally love it. So nowaday there are some colleges which offer a B.Tec course in AI. So i have compared the curriculums of Both AI and CSE and what i found is if yoh are clear that you want to do AI then definitely you should take AI in B.Tec. So i have this confusion of what to do in my B.Tec, can you please help me through this. It would be really a great help to me.

This guy has a very simplistic idea of the subject.

[frdscious]

What is motivation and desire beyond a programmed response?

[zueszues]

Our brain store data and compute data too
Right?
And what point of different about it ?

Ai just like bug life or single cell respon input randomly but that way we knew once all animal or some animal evoluetion from single cell, right ?

What different about it

How long human rule to control input data before
AI will control input by itseft

Felicitaciones Charlie! Un abrazo desde Valparaíso

Hopefully AI will be able to explain why longer life isn't always better, or how extending the life of the planet would be more generally beneficial.

[andisandis]

Not very well put, but he is right. Good job!

AI: a whole lot of nested if statements

[berthavermout]

It is the "What If" questions in the end that are totally naif. Because what if you get that message but it is not true. What if you get that message because the "doctor" is interested for you to visit him/ her and get a treatment, just for the money. What if they get you a treatment that kills you?

Doesnt Tedx have a feedback mechanism to review previous episodes and take corrective action .
Even an AI could be used for this purpose.

[JoaoGPinheiro]

TEDx takes some credibility from TED since on `x` many intervenients are very bad or make useless speeches

[MichaelDeeringMHC]

Never have, therefore never will, is a flawed argument.

[julius]

brains are not meant to compute, but thing is brains actually do compute

[sukhvirsinghmercury]

it is not possible yet but it will be soon

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get it. Humans are special. Humans are unique. I can see this guy, standing at a podium at Oxford University, early in the 1800s, scoffing at the work of Alessandro Volta... "As the very nature of the Electric Torpedo Ray, or the Electric Catfish is so fundamentally different to our science, humans will never achieve artificial electricity".

He would have been wrong then - and he's not so right today. He's not even right on the fundamentals. Human brains are pretty great at computing - think there's no computing going on to enable a major league batter to hit a ball coming towards him an ninety miles per hour? There's a pile of literature of human minds (often malfunctioning minds) that could tell you the weather on July 7th, 1984, or play a piece of complex music after hearing it once, or recall a book perfectly or perform complex math - all pure computing.

First - do we really want to duplicate the Human mind? I would hope not, except for possible therapeutic studies. Why duplicate a mind, frequently distracted by hunger, muddled by fatigue, cluttered with fear, anger, love, superstition, preoccupied with mating and constantly on the edge of becoming psychotic if any of a dozen neuro-chemicals are even slightly out of balance?

Second, many of the supposedly unique human attributes, curiosity, intuition, creativity, self-awareness - these are, as it turns out, not so exclusive. These traits can be found, to a lesser degree, in less intelligent species. They are effectively, useful byproducts of complexity. And complexity is just a matter of scaling and algorithms - two things we're pretty good at.

If you can simulate exactly how a human brain works in a computer then you have artificial intelligence and I really don't see any reason we couldn't do that in the next 20 years. We are already well on our way. And then we can make them even better than us because it is alot easier to change the coding in the computer's brain to improve it than it is to change the coding in our own brains. What I should say is, It is a lot harder to update ourselves to make us better than it is to update a computer.

A big difference I find between computers and human brains is how we arrive at answers to questions. What I mean is a human has to actually THINK about what the answer to a question might be. You ask a human to find out what X is equal to in the equation 10X - 2 = 5x . A human being has to actually think about the question to come to the conclusion while an AI will already know the answer to the question before you even ask it. The same goes for any question.


Before you go into a job interview you think about the questions the interviewer is going to ask you. An AI wouldn't have to. An AI would already have a list of pregenerated answers to every possible question the interviewer might ask them and it would just randomly spit one out.

[askalice]

He earns psychological trust by saying that he's lying, after he lies. Seriously guy.
DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN

[bakercrossroads]

Considering the fews years of computation and artificial intelligence research this speech it is ridiculous.

[EmeraldView]

I think he forgot the mention the human soul. 🙄
