ever just start looking into something pretty simple
and then suddenly hours have gone by
and you're like, how did I even get here?
Tap of this to the best of us.
Totally, down the rabbit hole, right.
But what if there was a way to fast forward
to the good stuff, to really become an expert on a topic
but without all the information overload?
Sounds pretty ideal.
Well, that's kind of the mission of these deep dives.
You wanted to explore AI, right?
Yeah, it's been a hot topic lately.
Totally.
So we've got these excerpts from a talk called AI
Will Answer Questions by Erivin Shrinivas.
Now he's not just some tech CEO giving a pep talk.
Shrinivas actually has a PhD in AI.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, and get this, he believes AI could actually
make us more human.
Really?
That's interesting.
I would have thought the opposite.
I know, right?
It seems counterintuitive, but let's hear what he has to say.
OK.
So he starts off by pointing out that a lot of AI
founders these days, himself included, have PhDs.
That's interesting in itself, I think,
because over the last 20 years, the number of PhDs
founding companies has actually been going down.
So this is kind of a new trend.
Yeah, it's definitely noteworthy.
Right, like academia and the tech world
are colliding in this new way.
So if you're listening to this and you're
a PhD thinking about maybe starting a company,
it looks like you're in good company.
For sure.
And Shrinivas, he asks this question.
I think you'll appreciate this, he asks.
What was the last major tech company founded by academics?
I don't know.
What, Facebook?
Nope, Google.
Oh, that's right.
And now, of course, the irony is that Shrinivas's company,
Proplexity, is being talked about as a potential Google
killer.
Yeah, I saw that.
But from everything I've read about Shrinivas,
it seems like he's way more focused
on building the future of search, not on destroying the past.
Yeah, makes sense.
So that future of search, well, it
might have been predicted way back in 2000.
Shrinivas actually shares this clip of Larry Page, one
of Google's founders.
He was talking about AI way back then.
Let's hear it.
Clip plays, wow, 25 years ago.
And he basically predicted it.
You did.
And AI that gets everything on the web
and can just answer any question.
Sounds pretty familiar, right?
So what's so interesting to me is how both Page and Shrinivas,
they're both thinking ahead, right?
They're not just playing around algorithms.
It's bigger than that.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
They're thinking about the future of search,
the future of technology.
AI as a whole.
And maybe even the future of us.
Because here's where things get really interesting.
Shrinivas makes this pretty bold statement.
AI will make us even more human.
OK, so how does that even work?
How can something artificial make us more human?
I know, right?
That's exactly what I thought.
So Shrinivas, to kind of unpack that,
he goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks to Socrates.
He reminds us that Socrates, well,
he believed that real wisdom, it comes
from realizing how little we actually know.
And that progress only happens when we learn
to ask better questions.
Makes sense.
Right.
And he even tells this funny story about South Indian
parents, how they constantly question their kids
when they leave those stable jobs to go chase startup dreams.
It's like he's saying that this drive to question,
to dig deeper, it's built into us.
It is, isn't it?
We're hardwired for it.
Exactly.
And that's something I think we can all relate to, right?
Whether you're starting a company or just trying to figure out,
I don't know, what to make for dinner tonight.
Totally.
Always asking questions.
Right.
But then Shrinivas, he takes it a step further.
He brings in this physicist, David Deutsch.
And Deutsch, he argues that what makes humans unique
is actually our curiosity about things we already
think we know.
Like, we don't just ask questions about the unknown.
We keep asking questions about stuff that's familiar.
So we're not just filling in the gaps in our knowledge.
We're constantly reevaluating what we think we know.
Exactly.
It's this never-ending curiosity, this need to know why
and how that pushes us to find answers.
And honestly, that's what led Shrinivas to create perplexity.
Oh, so that's where this is all going.
Yep.
He talks about how when he was first starting his company,
he needed answers to some pretty complex questions,
like funding models, the legal stuff,
even health insurance for startups.
Not exactly light reading.
Right.
And he was finding that traditional search engines,
they just weren't cutting it.
I can imagine.
And that's where perplexity steps in.
It's not just about finding websites.
It's about getting those well-researched answers
like you'd find in an academic paper.
OK.
That makes sense.
And here's the key.
Perplexity gives you citations for every single answer.
So you know you're getting good info.
Exactly.
It instantly builds trust.
You know you're not just reading some random blog post,
and because you trust the information,
you can ask better follow-up questions,
go deeper into the topic.
It's like a positive feedback loop for learning.
It is.
Like this virtuous cycle fueled by AI.
And this isn't just for some niche group of academics.
What's so revolutionary is that it's
making knowledge accessible to everybody.
Oh, I see.
Like you don't need subscriptions
to those expensive databases or access to university libraries
anymore.
Right, right.
It doesn't matter if you're a professional or a student,
everyone benefits from this kind of access.
It's like the cost of research is going towards zero.
Wow.
That's amazing when you think about it.
It really is.
And that raises this question that Srinivas
poses at the end of his talk.
He asks in this new era where we can ask anything
and get a reliable answer, he asks,
what will be the best questions?
That's a great question.
And how many will we even dare to ask?
It's like we're at the edge of this whole new world of knowledge.
It is, isn't it?
And the possibilities are, well, endless.
It's pretty exciting.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Like what kind of questions will we even
be asking five, 10, 20 years from now?
Right, and what kind of breakthroughs
will those questions lead to?
It's pretty mind blowing.
Yeah, and that brings us back to what Srinivas was saying
about AI not dehumanizing us.
Oh, right, right.
But actually making us more human.
By giving us these tools to find answers faster,
it frees up our minds.
You know?
You think about the big stuff.
Yeah, the whys and the what ifs.
It's like AI is taking over all the boring research work.
The grunt work.
Exactly.
So we can focus on that creative stuff,
the strategic thinking, the things that only humans can
really do.
And just imagine what that could mean for every field out there.
Oh, yeah.
Scientists could make discoveries faster.
Entrepreneurs could, I don't know, make better decisions.
Artists could get inspiration from like a million different
sources.
And students could actually enjoy learning.
Instead of getting bogged down in all those research papers.
Tell me about it.
So Srinivas, he really emphasizes that point
about access to knowledge.
He says, knowledge does not care about who you are,
where you're from, or who you have access to.
I like that.
It's a powerful idea, right?
With tools like Perplexity, a student in, I don't know,
a rural community somewhere, they
could have access to the same research
as a professor at Harvard.
It's incredible.
Think about the possibilities if everyone
had that kind of access.
Oh, totally.
It could totally level the playing field.
And not just in education, but in every part of society.
Yeah, really good.
It's like we're on the edge of a new renaissance.
But this time, it's fueled by AI.
An AI renaissance.
Exactly.
But of course, with any powerful tool,
there are going to be some, I don't know, questions,
maybe even challenges, right?
Cessar, yeah.
Like some people are worried about those downsides,
you know?
The robots taking over kind of thing.
Right, exactly.
And those concerns, they're definitely worth discussing.
For sure.
But I think Srinivas, he offers a more, I guess,
optimistic perspective.
He sees AI as a tool, right?
A tool that can help us augment our own capabilities.
Now replace them.
Right, now replace them.
It's about using AI to enhance our strengths,
not eliminate us from the equation.
Makes sense.
So it's all about responsible development then.
It is.
It's up to us to make sure that AI is designed and used
ethically, with a focus on human well-being and progress.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So as we're having this deep dive,
exploring all these ideas, what's
been, I don't know, standing out to you?
Anything sparking your curiosity?
Or maybe even some healthy skepticism?
Well, I think it's important to engage with these ideas
critically, to ask those tough questions,
really think about the potential impact
on our lives and on the world.
Absolutely.
This isn't just about technology.
It's about what kind of future we want to create.
Oh, it's the right.
A future where AI and human ingenuity work together
to unlock our potential.
Our full potential.
Exactly.
And speaking of practical stuff, I
know you're interested in how you can start using AI
right now in your everyday life.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, are there any tools out there, specific platforms
that you'd recommend?
Besides perplexity, of course.
Oh, yeah, besides perplexity, which
yeah, is at the top of my list now.
But yeah, there are tons of AI-powered learning
platforms out there.
They can personalize your learning
based on your interests, your goals,
almost like a virtual tutor.
Interesting.
So instead of just passively reading or watching videos,
you're actively engaging with the material.
Exactly.
And you're getting guidance along the way.
Makes sense.
And there are even tools for writing, music, even art.
Oh, wow.
These tools can help you overcome writer's block,
explore new styles.
So you can collaborate with AI to produce art.
Yeah.
It's like having a creative partner.
That's cool.
I'm totally adding play with AI art tools to my to-do list.
You should.
And don't forget those AI search engines, like perplexity.
Right.
It's not just finding information.
It's about having a conversation.
With the internet?
Yeah.
Asking those follow-up questions,
getting to the heart of a topic.
Like having a research assistant at your fingertips.
It is.
One that can go through all that data
and give you just the good stuff.
Exactly.
And you're left to connect the dots
and come to your own conclusions.
Which is what Stray Navas was saying about AI
making us more human.
It is.
It's about breaking free from all that information overload
and letting us focus on the things that make us human.
Curiosity, creativity, critical thinking.
It's a really empowering perspective.
It is.
But as we're exploring all this,
it's important to remember that AI, it's a tool, right?
Right.
And like any tool, it can be used for good or bad.
True.
It's up to us to make sure it's developed and used ethically.
Yeah, responsibly.
So as we keep going with this deep dive,
I think it's important to remember that there's still
a lot we just don't know about AI,
like what its long-term impact will be.
Totally.
There's still a lot of unanswered questions
and potential challenges, right?
For sure.
But I think it's important to approach this whole technological
revolution with a sense of excitement.
But also a healthy dose of critical thinking.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like we're on this incredible journey.
Uncharted territory.
And we need to be both adventurous and responsible.
Embrace the possibilities, but be mindful of the risks.
I like that.
It's a balancing act.
It is, isn't it?
And as we move forward, the future of AI,
it's not set in stone.
We're creating it.
We are, through our choices, our actions.
And our commitment to using this technology for good.
Exactly.
And that's a future worth fighting for.
Absolutely.
A future where AI empowers us to solve problems,
to create opportunities, to build a better world.
OK, so we've talked about AI's potential
to democratize knowledge, to accelerate scientific discoveries,
to enhance creativity, even to revolutionize the way we work.
But I'm curious about something.
What about the role of human expertise?
I mean, some people worry that AI will make human experts
obsolete.
Yeah, that's a valid concern, a one we should definitely
talk about.
I think that AI, rather than replacing human expertise,
can actually enhance it.
OK, so instead of viewing it as a threat,
you see it more as a tool that can help them.
Exactly.
AI can do certain tasks and give us access to all that data,
but it can't replicate the human ability
to interpret the insights, to connect the dots,
to apply knowledge and experience,
to make those judgment calls.
So like, for example, in medicine, AI
could analyze all the patient data
and suggest possible diagnoses, but it would still
be up to the doctor.
Human doctor.
To consider the patient's individual situation,
to order more tests, to make the final call on treatment.
Exactly.
AI can help, but it can't replace the human element.
That judgment, that empathy, the understanding that's
so important in health care, education, counseling.
Absolutely.
So it's not AI versus human experts.
It's AI and human experts.
Working together.
Yeah.
Each using their strengths.
We get better outcomes.
It's collaboration, not competition.
Exactly.
It's about seeing AI as a powerful tool to empower experts.
To do their jobs even better.
More efficiently, more insightfully, to have a bigger impact.
I love that.
And as we figure out this whole evolving world of AI
and expertise, we've got to be mindful of those challenges,
right?
Absolutely.
We need to approach this with enthusiasm,
but also critical thinking.
Right.
We have to be aware of those potential biases
in the algorithms.
Right.
And the ethical implications.
Yes, exactly.
And the need to make sure that AI benefits everyone,
not just a select few.
Right.
It's a good reminder that AI, it's not a magic solution.
It's a tool.
It's a tool, yeah.
And it requires careful consideration.
Responsible stewardship.
OK.
So as we're wrapping up this deep dive,
I want to hear what stood out to you.
What sparked your sense of wonder?
Maybe even some healthy skepticism.
Well, we want to hear from you.
Share your takeaways, your questions, your hopes,
even your concerns.
Yeah, because this isn't just about technology.
This is about the future we want to create.
Right.
A future where human ingenuity and AI work together.
To unlock that potential.
Exactly.
So let's keep talking, keep challenging those assumptions,
and keep exploring.
Yeah, shape the future of AI together.
And who knows?
Maybe the insights we get from these conversations
will spark those next big discoveries.
The next breakthroughs.
After all those big journeys, they often
start with a single question.
A thought-provoking question.
And speaking of thought-provoking questions,
there's this one concept that Srinivast talks about.
The idea that knowledge does not care about who you are,
where you're from, or who you have access to,
it's powerful, right?
It highlights how AI can democratize knowledge sharing.
Level the playing field.
Yeah, exactly.
In a world where access to information isn't limited
by those traditional barriers, you know?
Like geography or socioeconomic status.
Right, the playing field is leveled.
Opportunity for everyone.
Imagine a student in a remote village
having the same access to research as a professor at,
I don't know, MIT.
Or an entrepreneur in a developing country
having the same business insights as a Silicon Valley CEO.
It's a world where knowledge is truly universal.
Empowering everyone to pursue their passions.
We solve problems to create a better future.
For themselves and for their communities.
And that's where AI comes in.
It breaks down those barriers.
Yeah, it makes information accessible to anyone
with an internet connection.
It's like having a personal librarian for the entire world.
And this has huge implications.
For education, innovation, social progress.
Imagine students not being limited
by those outdated textbooks.
Right.
But they can explore, you know, a universe of knowledge.
With AI as their guide.
And entrepreneurs, they can access the same market research.
And business insights.
From anywhere in the world.
It's incredible.
And citizens from all backgrounds
can have these informed dialogues.
To find common ground.
This is just a glimpse of what's possible.
When knowledge is truly shared.
Where it's not a privilege, but a right.
A right for everyone.
And as we go deeper into this future,
we got to consider the implications, right?
Of course.
We need to make sure AI is developed responsibly.
Right.
Make sure it benefits all of humanity.
We need to be mindful of those biases.
Yep.
And protect privacy.
Individual rights.
We need to have those open and honest conversations.
About the role of AI in our society.
Because the future of AI, it's not predetermined.
We're all creating it together.
Through our choices, our actions, our commitment
to using this technology for good.
It's a huge responsibility.
It is.
But it's also an incredible opportunity.
A chance to build a better world.
So let's embrace that challenge.
Explore the possibilities.
Work together to create a future where knowledge
empowers everyone.
Because when knowledge is power, democratizing knowledge
empowers humanity.
And that's a mission worth pursuing.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's about collaboration, innovation,
and a shared commitment to shaping the future of AI
for the benefit of all.
So as we wrap up this deep dive, we
want to invite you to join us on this journey.
Share your thoughts, your questions, your hopes,
your concerns.
Because this conversation isn't over.
It's an ongoing exploration.
A quest for understanding.
A collective effort to use the power of AI for good.
So let's keep asking questions.
Keep pushing boundaries.
And keep striving for a future where
knowledge empowers us all.
Because the future of AI is about the future we create together.
It's a future worth fighting for.
Now before we go, there's one more thing from Srinivas' talk
that I want to mention.
Oh, yeah.
The idea of relentless questioning.
I like that.
It really gets at that human desire
to understand, to explore, to always push for more knowledge.
We're never satisfied, are we?
And Srinivas believes that AI can help us with this.
Really?
It can give us the tools to ask even more questions,
to dig deeper, make connections that we might have missed.
So it's like having a partner in crime.
A research buddy.
Exactly.
AI can process all that information
and show us things we might not see.
The patterns, the insights.
It's like having a research assistant that
goes through mountains of data and gives you
the most interesting bit.
Sparking those new questions.
Leading you down those unexpected paths.
And as AI gets more advanced, the potential
for this relentless questioning grows even more.
Wow.
So imagine being able to ask AI any question.
Any question at all.
No matter how complex.
No matter how, I don't know, out there it is.
I'm getting a real reliable answer.
An answer backed up with evidence.
Citations, sources, the whole thing.
It's like having a conversation with the most knowledgeable
expert in the world.
One that can help you understand,
challenge your assumptions, and really spark your imagination.
And all this questioning.
Fueled by AI.
Has the potential to revolutionize everything.
How we learn.
How we solve problems.
How we make decisions.
So in science, medicine, engineering,
AI can help us ask better questions.
Analyze data faster.
Breakthroughs.
That might have taken years, decades even.
And in business, AI can help companies really
understand their customers.
Identify trends.
Make smarter decisions.
And for all of us, you know, in our personal lives,
AI can personalize learning.
Help us explore our passions.
The possibilities are endless.
Limitless.
As AI gets more sophisticated, it becomes even more powerful.
Helping us unlock those mysteries of the universe.
Solve those global challenges.
Achieve our full human potential.
So as we go deeper into this future,
it's important to remember that technology,
it reflects our values.
And our aspirations.
If we approach AI with curiosity, collaboration,
and a commitment to ethics, we can use it
to create a future where knowledge is for everyone.
And human potential is unleashed.
That's a future worth working towards.
Absolutely.
But let's bring it back to the here and now.
OK.
What are some practical things people can do today
to use AI for learning and exploring?
Well, you can try out those AI search engines.
Like perplexity.
Yes, perplexity.
Have a conversation with the internet.
Ask those follow-up questions.
Get deeper insights.
You can also explore those AI-powered learning platforms.
The ones that personalize the experience.
Yeah.
Adapt to your pace.
Give you feedback.
Like a virtual tutor.
Exactly.
And if you're feeling adventurous.
Oh, yeah.
You can even try some of those AI creative tools.
To generate ideas.
Write stories.
Compose music.
Create art.
It's like having a creative partner.
It is.
The point is there are so many tools available right now.
And more coming out all the time.
So don't be afraid to experiment.
Ask questions.
Embrace the power of AI.
You might surprise yourself with what you discover.
That's the beauty of curiosity.
It's a journey without a set destination.
Fueled by discovery.
And AI can be a powerful ally on that journey.
Helping us understand the world and ourselves better.
It's an exciting time to be a learner.
A thinker.
A creator.
So let's embrace those possibilities.
Ask those bold questions.
And see where this adventure takes us.
Who knows, we might just surprise ourselves along the way.
Speaking of surprises, what about human expertise
in an AI driven world?
Yeah, that's a good one.
Some people worry that AI will make human experts obsolete.
It's a valid concern, but I actually believe the opposite.
Really?
AI can automate certain tasks.
Sure.
But it's important to remember that AI is a tool.
Not a replacement for human judgment.
Or creativity.
Think of it like a really powerful calculator.
OK.
It can crunch numbers super fast,
but you still need a mathematician to understand
what those numbers mean.
Right, to apply them to real world problems.
In a lot of ways, AI can actually
make human expertise even more valuable.
By freeing up experts from those boring tasks,
giving them more data.
They can focus on the higher level stuff.
The strategic thinking, the creative problem solving.
It's like giving them a superpower.
Exactly.
Plusting their abilities, letting them do even more.
And let's not forget about that human connection.
Yeah, empathy.
Especially in health care, education, counseling.
AI can play a role.
But it's that human touch, that understanding
that makes the real difference.
So it's not AI versus humans.
It's AI with humans.
Working together, complimenting each other.
Creating a more informed, efficient, and compassionate
world.
And that's something worth striving for, wouldn't you say?
Absolutely.
But as we figure out this whole AI and expertise thing,
we've got to be aware of those challenges.
Yes.
For sure.
Be mindful of the biases, the ethical implications.
The need to make sure AI benefits everyone.
It's a reminder that AI is a powerful tool,
but it's not a cure-all.
It requires careful thought, responsibility.
As we explore the potential of AI,
let's keep all this in mind.
Let's strive to create a future where AI and human expertise
work together.
To build a better world for everyone.
Exactly.
Now, as we wrap up this deep dive,
Yeah.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on something
Srinivas said, relentless questioning.
Oh, I love that phrase.
It captures that human curiosity.
That desire to understand, to explore,
to keep pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
And Srinivas believes that AI can actually help us with this.
OK.
How so?
AI can give us the tools to ask even more questions,
to dig deeper, to make connections we might not
have seen on our own.
So it's like a research partner.
Yeah.
Think of it like that.
AI can process all that information
and then highlight the interesting parts for us.
The patterns, the insights.
It's like having a super smart research assistant.
Exactly.
And as AI gets better, this relentless questioning
becomes even more powerful.
Imagine a world where you can ask AI anything.
Anything at all.
And get a comprehensive, reliable answer.
With citations, sources, everything.
It'd be like having a conversation with the most
knowledgeable expert in the world.
Wow.
That's powerful.
It really is.
This kind of relentless questioning
can change everything.
How we learn, how we solve problems.
How we make decisions.
In science, medicine, engineering,
AI could help us make breakthroughs faster.
And in business, it could help companies
understand their customers better.
And in our own lives, AI could help us
personalize our learning.
The possibilities are truly endless.
So let's embrace this new era of AI-powered inquiry.
Let's ask those bold questions.
Let's see where our curiosity takes us.
The more we ask, the more we learn, the more we grow.
And that brings us to the end of this deep dive.
We want to leave you with a challenge.
OK.
Embrace that spirit of relentless questioning
in your own life.
Don't be afraid to ask those big questions.
It's tough questions, the what if questions.
Because in this age of information,
the most important skill is knowing
how to ask the right questions.
How to think critically, to make connections
to come up with new insights.
And AI can be a powerful tool in that journey.
It can help you ask more, explore deeper, make
connections you might not have seen otherwise.
So let's start this adventure of relentless questioning
together.
Let's use the power of AI.
And let's see where our curiosity leads us.
Because in a world full of possibilities,
the only limit is our imagination.
And our willingness to ask that next question.
Exactly.
And speaking of imagination, let's
talk about how AI is impacting creativity.
Oh, that's a good one.
AI is already changing how we create things.
It's sparking excitement and also some worry.
Some people think AI will stifle human creativity.
That it will replace artists, musicians, writers.
With algorithms that can just generate art on demand.
Others see it as a tool to enhance creativity.
To give artists new ways to express themselves.
To explore new frontiers, to collaborate with machines.
And the truth is probably somewhere in between.
It's not a replacement, but it can definitely
change the creative process.
It presents new possibilities and new challenges.
Think of AI as a creative partner.
One that can help you push boundaries,
explore new forms of expression.
Create things that wouldn't be possible without AI.
AI can help musicians generate new melodies.
AI can help artists create stunning visuals.
AI can help writers overcome writer's block.
But remember, AI is just a tool.
The human artist is still in control.
AI gives you the raw materials.
The building blocks.
But it's up to the human to shape them
into something meaningful.
Something expressive.
It's like having a paintbrush that can create any color
you can imagine, but you still need the painter to use it.
And in this collaboration between human and machine,
we're going to see new forms of art emerge.
New music, new literature, new designs.
Pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
It's an exciting time to be an artist.
A time to embrace the possibilities of AI, to experiment.
To create works that reflect this new relationship
between humans and machines.
We might be on the verge of a new renaissance, fueled by AI.
And speaking of this fusion of human and machine,
it's interesting to see how AI is already influencing design.
Architecture, fashion, it's changing everything.
AI-powered tools are revolutionizing how we create things.
From buildings to clothes.
Imagine an architect using AI to come up
with a million different designs for a building.
Exploring materials, structures, aesthetics,
all in a few hours.
Or a fashion designer using AI to create custom clothes.
Based on your measurements and your style.
It's like having a team of virtual assistants working
with the human designers.
Helping them explore more options, work faster,
and create designs that are both beautiful and functional.
And this isn't just about efficiency.
It's about pushing the boundaries of creativity.
AI can help designers come up with ideas
that would be too complex or time consuming to do manually.
Leading to those groundbreaking new designs.
AI is already being used to design buildings
that are more energy efficient.
To create clothes that are more comfortable and sustainable.
To make products that are more user friendly.
It's like having a design partner
that helps you bring your ideas to life.
And as AI gets better, we're going
to see even more innovative applications.
Leading to a future where our buildings are more
responsive to our needs.
Where products are more personalized and sustainable.
Where creativity has no limits.
It's a great time to be a designer.
A time to embrace the power of AI
and create a world that is both beautiful and functional.
But as we see this transformation in design,
we've got to remember that the goal isn't just
to make things that look good.
Or that are super advanced.
The real power of design is to improve our lives.
To make the world more sustainable, more equitable,
more joyful.
And AI can play a huge role in helping us do that.
So as we explore AI in design, let's keep those goals in mind.
Let's use this technology responsibly
and create a future where design helps us build
a better world for everyone.
And speaking of building a better world,
what about using AI to tackle some of the big challenges
we face?
Oh yeah, like climate change, poverty, health care.
AI is already being used to develop solutions for these issues.
Offering hope where other approaches haven't worked.
AI is being used to monitor deforestation.
To track endangered species.
To develop more sustainable agriculture.
To fight climate change.
AI is being used to analyze data to understand
poverty and inequality.
Helping us come up with better strategies
to make the world more just.
AI is being used to develop new diagnostic tools.
Personalized treatments.
Even robotic surgery.
Improving health care and making it more accessible.
It's like having a global team of problem
solvers working together, using AI to find solutions.
AI isn't a magic bullet.
But it does offer hope.
It can amplify our intelligence, speed up progress,
and help us use technology to address our biggest needs.
But remember, AI is a tool.
And it's up to us to use it wisely and ethically.
We need to make sure it benefits everyone.
We need to be aware of biases, protect privacy.
And have open conversations about the role of AI in society.
Because the future of AI is up to us.
We are creating it through our choices and actions.
So let's embrace the challenge, explore the possibilities,
and work together to create a future where
AI helps us build a better world.
And speaking of possibilities, let's
talk about AI and the future of work.
Oh, yeah.
That's a big one.
One that causes both excitement and anxiety.
Because AI could automate jobs, create new jobs,
and completely change how we work.
Some jobs will definitely be automated.
The ones with repetitive tasks or data analysis.
That doesn't mean mass unemployment.
It means new opportunities.
For humans to work alongside AI.
To focus on things that require creativity,
critical thinking, human interaction.
It's a shift in how we divide labor.
Where AI does the routine stuff.
And humans focus on more complex and fulfilling work.
For example, AI can help doctors with diagnoses.
So they have more time with their patients.
AI can handle repetitive tasks in factories.
Freeing up human workers to focus on quality control
and improvement.
And in customer service, AI chatbots
can handle the basic questions.
So human reps can focus on the more complex issues.
This shift will require us to adapt.
To learn new skills and embrace lifelong learning.
But it also means we can create a workplace that's
more human-centered.
Where technology helps us work smarter, not harder.
And where everyone can thrive.
Exactly.
And as AI keeps evolving, it's probably
going to create whole new types of jobs
that we can't even imagine right now.
Like how the internet created web developers
and social media managers.
Right.
AI could lead to new jobs and AI development, AI training,
AI ethics.
It's going to be a whole new world.
So instead of being afraid of AI and jobs,
we can be optimistic, right?
We can invest in education and training.
And create a future where AI helps us all succeed.
Exactly.
And speaking of the future, there's
another important aspect of AI that we need to think about.
Ethics.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
As AI becomes more and more part of our lives,
we have to make sure it's being developed and used
responsibly.
Absolutely.
We need to watch out for bias in the algorithms.
We need to protect privacy and individual rights.
And make sure AI benefits everyone, not just a select few.
So Renovis actually talks about this in his talk.
Oh, to see it.
He uses a really powerful analogy.
What's that?
He compares AI to nuclear technology.
Wow.
OK.
Both have huge potential to help humanity.
Right.
But both can be really dangerous if they're not
handled carefully.
That's a great point.
It reminds us that we can't just get caught up
in all the excitement of AI and forget about the risks.
Exactly.
We need to approach this technology with caution
and responsibility.
And make sure we're using it for good.
So at the end of his talk, Shreini Ves asks this question.
And it's a really thought-provoking one.
OK.
He asks, if you could ask an AI any question
and know you'd get a reliable answer, what would it be?
Ooh, that's a good one.
It is, isn't it?
It makes you think about all the things we don't know,
all the mysteries we haven't been able to solve.
Yeah, it really does.
What are the questions that have always puzzled us?
Questions about the universe, consciousness,
the meaning of life.
It's exciting to think about all those possibilities.
This really is.
And I think that's a great place to end this deep dive.
Yeah.
As you continue your own research and exploration,
remember to keep that spirit of curiosity alive.
Don't be afraid to ask the big question.
Even the ones that seem impossible.
Because in the age of AI, the answers
might be closer than you think.
So keep exploring, keep asking, and never
lose that sense of wonder.
That's what drives us forward.
And that's what makes these deep dives so much fun.
Thanks for joining us on this exploration of AI
and human curiosity.
We'll see you next time.
It's been a fascinating journey.
See you then.
