For the first time it seems there is a path to seamlessly converting natural language to computational language. Dr Stephen Wolfram fills us in on the issues and the way forward.
How Will We Know When AI is Conscious?
Siri, write this down immediately. “A movie where robots are performing reverse-Turing tests on humans to see if we’re smart enough to be considered sentient.” Yeah yeah email it straight to Spielberg, subject line, “Hi I live miserably alone with my cat and I’m going to make you millions of dollars. Could I have half a mil in advance pls for bus fare and stuff.”
Blockchain Technology Simply Explained
In this video, we will take a simple, easy-to-understand look at blockchain technology. We will talk about the technology behind blockchain, how it works, and what it could be used for.
Blockchain technology is an innovative distributed ledger technology that is changing how we store and share information. It is a decentralized computing system that lets users store data safely and do business without trusting each other. Many different fields, from finance to health care, are starting to use this technology.
At its heart, blockchain technology creates a shared digital ledger of transactions that can’t be changed. Each transaction is recorded as a block, which is linked to the block before it in a chain. The blockchain gets its name from this chain of blocks, which makes it a very secure technology.
When it comes to security, blockchain technology is very safe because it uses advanced cryptography to protect data and make sure that only authorized users can access and change it. This makes it perfect for applications that need the highest level of security, like those in finance, health care, and government.
By the end of this video, you will have a better understanding of blockchain technology and its potential use cases. So, if you are interested in learning more about blockchain technology, then this video is for you!
Can AI Replace Hollywood Writers?
Well Hollywood people are striking, they want “money”. This got me thinking, what if we just stopped paying people to do work, and replaced them, with robots? AI! That sounds like a good idea, right? Like, first we replace the Hollywood people, then we go for, I don’t know, McDonalds workers, then Menards employees, and then just everybody else. I mean it sounds like a win win to me. Nobody has to work, and the robots will actually get my Big Mac order right. I said no lettuce!
Rise of artificial intelligence has actors fearing for their careers
As Hollywood actors continue to strike, a major issue in negotiations is the role artificial intelligence could have in reshaping the entertainment industry. CBS News’ Bradley Blackburn reports on the promise and the peril actors now face.
Michio Kaku: Quantum computing is the next revolution
Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks through the evolutionary journey of quantum computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era. Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into parallel universes, which boosts their computational power exponentially. They could revolutionize agriculture, energy, and medicine, solving complex problems like creating efficient fertilizers, achieving fusion energy, and modeling diseases at the molecular level.
The race between major tech companies and intelligence agencies to actualize this power is intense, as they could redefine industries and even global power structures if they succeed.
The endeavor isn’t without challenges; we’ve yet to create a fully functional quantum computer. But Kaku envisions a future where quantum computers unravel complex equations, potentially shedding light on profound cosmic mysteries.
How to use the ocean as a giant battery
There is a way to harvest energy 24/7 from our oceans, through a technology called ocean thermal energy conversion. It would help provide reliable renewable energy, especially for vulnerable islands in tropical regions. The basic technology has been around for hundreds of years already. So, why hasn’t it caught on?
Better Than You Think (Bard + DeepMind)
Google’s new AI assistant, SGE, combines features from DeepMind and Google Bard to offer life advice, generate creative ideas, and provide personalized learning. Developed with Scale AI Inc., SGE uses the RT-2 model to understand and act on visual and linguistic cues. This advanced AI tool enhances browsing in Chrome, offers tutoring, and promises ethical AI interactions.
Generative AI and the Future of Work | Mike Walsh | Futurist Keynote Speaker
Generative AI is changing not only how machines work, but how people get things done too. More importantly, it is challenging the very idea of what kinds of human activities in an organization might actually be valuable, and what should be simply automated. One thing, however, is certain – the future of work is more than just chatbots.
In this video, futurist Mike Walsh explores how Morgan Stanley have used generative AI technologies in conjunction with NVIDIA and OpenAI to empower their human advisors to be more effective, and what the concept of ‘talent density’ might mean for the future design and scale of companies.
