1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,560
Hey everyone and welcome back.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,520
We've got a really interesting deep dive lined up for you today.

3
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,200
Yeah, we're going to be diving into the world of AI.

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,400
It seems like AI is everywhere we look these days.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,560
Yeah, you're right.

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,240
And it's changing so fast.

7
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,280
Absolutely.

8
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,800
So we're trying to break it all down for you.

9
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Right, we'll be looking at the latest news in the tech world,

10
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,920
some financial reports.

11
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,440
And, believe it or not, even a museum exhibit.

12
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,840
It's true.

13
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,040
We'll explore if AI is going to be our new best friend.

14
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,800
Or something we should be a little more cautious of.

15
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,280
It's a really fascinating topic with a lot of angles.

16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,640
OK, let's jump right in.

17
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,880
One of the biggest things making waves in the AI world

18
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,360
right now is this thing called Swarm from Open AI,

19
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,200
have you heard about this?

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,240
I have, yeah.

21
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,080
It's like they're experimenting with giving AI,

22
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,440
I don't even know what to call them, teams,

23
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,200
the ability to work together.

24
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,840
It's kind of a mind blowing concept

25
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,880
when you really think about it.

26
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,800
It really is.

27
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,320
And what's interesting is that the idea

28
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,360
of these multi-agent systems, they've actually

29
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,320
been around for a while.

30
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:01,840
Really?

31
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,360
Yeah.

32
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,320
But Open AI's Swarm framework is making it much easier

33
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,880
for developers to actually use this kind of technology.

34
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,960
So instead of just one AI trying to solve a problem,

35
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,000
you've got a whole team of these specialized AI agents.

36
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Working together.

37
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Each with their own strengths.

38
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,400
Oh, wow.

39
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,480
So one might be really good at crunching data,

40
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600
while another one's really good at communicating.

41
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Interesting.

42
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280
Swarm kind of provides this framework

43
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440
for these agents to all work together.

44
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,800
So if I'm understanding this right,

45
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800
it's like giving these AI teams the ability

46
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
to actually drain storm and strategize,

47
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,080
just like a human team would.

48
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,440
That's a really good way to put it.

49
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,400
Imagine a company, right, where AI agents are the ones

50
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800
running marketing campaigns, sales calls,

51
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,320
customer service inquiries.

52
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,600
And they're all working together behind the scenes.

53
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Exactly.

54
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,760
That's both amazing and a little bit creepy,

55
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,360
don't you think?

56
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:51,840
It is.

57
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,160
And it's not some far off thing.

58
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,680
We're already seeing the effects of this

59
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,120
in the financial world, too.

60
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Yeah, it's not science fiction anymore.

61
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,840
It really isn't.

62
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,680
Take TSMC, for example.

63
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,920
They make most of the world's computer chips.

64
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,680
And their profits have gone through the roof.

65
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,480
Yeah, do it the opposite.

66
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,040
A 40% jump.

67
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,600
And a lot of that is because everyone

68
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,720
needs these really powerful chips

69
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240
to run these advanced AI systems.

70
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,520
So it's like, we've got all this incredible innovation

71
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,160
happening, investment pouring into AI,

72
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,560
but there's another sign to this whole thing, too.

73
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Yeah, it's like this amazing thing.

74
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,960
It makes you wonder what could go wrong, you know?

75
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,360
Yeah, exactly.

76
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,600
And speaking of things that make you wonder,

77
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,920
I was reading this article about a museum exhibit.

78
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:35,560
OK.

79
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,960
And at first, it sounds kind of cool and out there,

80
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,040
but then you start to think about it.

81
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,680
What is it?

82
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,080
It's at the Cambridge Museum of Zoology.

83
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,800
They're using AI to let people have conversations

84
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,120
with the exhibits.

85
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Really?

86
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Yeah, like you can actually talk to a dodo bird

87
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,400
or like a giant cockroach, all powered

88
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,600
by artificial intelligence.

89
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,240
Oh.

90
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,080
I know.

91
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,360
It's like straight out of a movie or something.

92
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,480
It's definitely different.

93
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,160
I'll give it that.

94
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,240
But it does make you think about.

95
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,360
Where do you draw the line?

96
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Yeah, exactly.

97
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,240
Like when does it become more than just educational?

98
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:06,920
Well, then.

99
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,240
Are we creating something that feels a little too real?

100
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680
And while this museum is busy bringing exhibits

101
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
to life with AI, you have someone like the governor

102
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,600
of the Reserve Bank of India.

103
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,320
OK.

104
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,880
It was basically waving a giant red flag

105
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200
about the risks AI poses to get this financial stability.

106
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Yeah, I've read about that.

107
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,680
He's really worried about something

108
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,520
called concentration risks.

109
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Concentration risks.

110
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,400
Yeah, basically his fear is that if a few big AI systems end

111
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,960
up controlling most of the financial markets,

112
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,120
and then something goes wrong with those AI systems.

113
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,040
That would be bad.

114
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Could be really like a domino effect

115
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400
that could destabilize the entire global economy.

116
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Wow.

117
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320
So on the one hand, we've got AI making museums more

118
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,080
interesting.

119
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,840
And on the other hand, we've got central bankers losing

120
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240
sleep at night worrying about AI causing a financial meltdown.

121
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,400
It's a lot to take in.

122
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,200
It really is.

123
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040
And it all kind of comes back to those AI teams

124
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
we were talking about earlier, the ones working together

125
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,240
in that open AI swarm thing.

126
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Like how do we even start to control those really complex

127
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,640
AI networks as they get more powerful?

128
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,600
That's a great question.

129
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,000
And it's something a lot of smart people

130
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,600
are trying to figure out right now.

131
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,040
And it's not even just about making sure they don't cause

132
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,800
a disaster.

133
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Right.

134
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,160
It's about all the subtle ways AI could be shaping our world,

135
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,400
our decisions, without us even knowing it.

136
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,640
It's like we're entering this unknown territory,

137
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,120
and we're just starting to see how big it really is.

138
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Exactly.

139
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,120
And the thing is, this isn't some far off future

140
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,000
we're talking about.

141
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,160
AI is already here.

142
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,200
It's all around us.

143
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,920
It really is.

144
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240
You know that new documentary about Anthony Bourdain?

145
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,560
The one where they used AI to recreate his voice?

146
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,040
Yeah.

147
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,280
The director used it to bring Bourdain's

148
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:50,760
actual words to life.

149
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Yeah.

150
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,960
But it caused a lot of controversy.

151
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,920
Oh, yeah, definitely.

152
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Like people were amazed by it, but also kind of creeped out.

153
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,320
Right.

154
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,360
It really makes you think about where the line is.

155
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Totally.

156
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,440
And it's not just documentaries either.

157
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,880
I was just reading about how Gmail users are being targeted

158
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,920
by these really sophisticated scams.

159
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,520
Oh, yeah.

160
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Those are getting bad.

161
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,400
And they're all powered by AI, which is kind of scary.

162
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,000
It's true.

163
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,120
The thing is, AI makes it so much easier

164
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
for these criminals to trick people.

165
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,680
So instead of needing to be a master hacker or something.

166
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Exactly.

167
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,840
They can just use AI to do it for them.

168
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,880
And they're getting really good at it too.

169
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,840
It's true.

170
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:28,760
The article mentioned these scammers

171
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,920
who create these emails that look so real.

172
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,400
Oh, I know.

173
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,480
And then they call you pretending to be Google support

174
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,000
or something.

175
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Right.

176
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,000
And they sound just like them.

177
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Like they even use these AI-generated voices.

178
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,240
It's crazy.

179
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,360
And it's not just these one-off scams either.

180
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,640
You've got these elaborate pig butchering scams

181
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,120
where they create these whole fake personas.

182
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Pig butchering.

183
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,280
Yeah.

184
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,640
Basically, they spend weeks or even months

185
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,960
building a relationship with someone online.

186
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Wow.

187
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Just to gain their trust.

188
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,480
And then they scam them out of everything.

189
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,360
Oh, that's awful.

190
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,240
It's really sad.

191
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,280
And the UN is really concerned about this whole trend.

192
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:05,920
Apparently, these criminal networks

193
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,880
are even using things like Starlink to run their operations.

194
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,040
Starlink.

195
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,520
Like the satellite internet.

196
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,480
Yeah, that's the one.

197
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,720
It's like a whole underground economy all powered by AI.

198
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,640
And it's not just about the money either, is it?

199
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,080
No.

200
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Not at all.

201
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,840
I mean, think about those mothers in Montana

202
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:25,520
who fell for those virtual kidnapping scams.

203
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Oh, right, where they use AI to make it sound

204
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,240
like their kids were in danger.

205
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,640
It's just heartbreaking.

206
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,280
It really is.

207
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,320
It shows how AI can be used for such terrible things.

208
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,080
It's a good reminder that AI has this dark side.

209
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,160
You know?

210
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,400
As amazing as it can be, it's not all good.

211
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Yeah.

212
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,320
And we have to be careful, right?

213
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:44,800
Right.

214
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,440
Like, we can't just blindly trust it.

215
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,000
We have to be skeptical, ask questions,

216
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
do our own research.

217
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,920
I think the most important thing is to be aware

218
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,920
of what's going on.

219
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,960
Absolutely.

220
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,400
So I guess what we're trying to say

221
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,120
is the next time you see some headline about AI,

222
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
take a second to really think about it.

223
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,560
Don't just scroll past it.

224
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,440
Exactly.

225
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,080
Because it's not just some abstract thing anymore.

226
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,880
It's affecting our lives in some really real ways.

227
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,520
It really is.

228
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,800
It's changing the world around us, even as we speak.

229
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240
And that's it for this deep dive into the world

230
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,520
of AI.

231
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
It's a complex topic, and there are no easy answers.

232
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Definitely not.

233
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480
But hopefully, this has given you some things to think about.

234
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,760
And some questions to ask.

235
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,280
Exactly.

236
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320
So until next time, stay curious, stay informed,

237
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:47,480
and stay safe out there.
