What Is an AI Anyway? By Mustafa Suleyman
Probably the best 22 minutes investment of one’s time anyone living can make today by listening to this TED Conferences talk by Mustafa Suleyman called “AI is turning into something totally new.” It has been explained so eloquently and simply that I advised both my teenage daughters to listen to this as they made their way to Dubai College this morning. Caspian, his 6 year old nephew, asked Mustafa a simple and innocent question which made him pause and reflect: “What is AI?”.
Ghufran Hamid thank you very much for bringing this video to my attention, I shall certainly be investing another 22minutes!
Valuing exponential technologies with a linear mindset is the largest obstacle we can place in our minds to really grasp the enormity and potential of this hydra-headed “digital species” that AI is creating.
“Technology is the only discipline I have identified that has the ability of altering our ways of life, whether we choose to embrace it or not; even religion can’t do that.”~Sleem Hasan
