AI Is Dangerous, but Not for the Reasons You Think | Sasha Luccioni | TED

AI won’t kill us all — but that doesn’t make it trustworthy. Instead of getting distracted by future existential risks, AI ethics researcher Sasha Luccioni thinks we need to focus on the technology’s current negative impacts, like emitting carbon, infringing copyrights and spreading biased information. She offers practical solutions to regulate our AI-filled future — so it’s inclusive and transparent.

Global Energy Transition. Are we winning?

The Global Energy Transition is the most profound change to human civilisation since the end of the last glacial period about 11,000 years ago. There will be winners and losers, and as a result some are trying to slow or even stop the disruption of their established markets. We all know who they are! So how is it going? Well, the International Energy Agency says it can be done, but ONLY if there is NO NEW COAL, OIL or GAS exploration or exploitation from this point onwards. COP28 has now been completely hijacked by the oil industry…so is the transition a realistic prospect or just a pipe dream?

King Charles says AI is ‘one of the greatest leaps in human history’

The King has said the advent of AI could be “no less important” than the harnessing of electricity, the splitting of the atom and the discovery of fire. His Majesty called AI “one of the greatest technological leaps in the history of human endeavour” and compared efforts to control the rise of powerful AI systems to the fight against climate change. He said world leaders must “similarly address the risk of AI” to how the international community “has sought to tackle climate change”.

How you can change the world – with Blockchain technology

Have you ever considered donating money to a charity – but then you didn’t? Because you were afraid your money would be wasted or not really helping people in need? There is a problem of trust and transparency.

This is where Blockchain comes in. Blockchain is not only about “Bitcoins” – it is a technology that creates full transparency of money flows. It helps us actually see where our money goes and what impact it creates for people in need. Blockchain technology can help us create the change we wish to see in the world – at the tip of a finger. Nearly 1 billion people in the world have no access to electricity.
