AI is sometimes the only solution | The Prompt with Trevor Noah

With the ability to quickly analyze large amounts of data, AI demonstrates that it’s not just a solution for solving complex challenges but is often the only solution we have. The AI for Good Lab has been partnering with leading researchers worldwide to pioneer new discoveries in science, improve humanitarian response during times of crisis, help medical professionals expand access to care, and unlock knowledge within the symphony of sounds from the Amazon Rainforest.
In this episode, Microsoft’s Chief Questions Officer, Trevor Noah, quizzes Microsoft’s Juan M. Lavista Ferres, Corporate Vice President, Chief Data Scientist, and Director of the AI for Good Lab. Together, they explore the many ways Microsoft collaborates with organizations globally, combining creativity and curiosity to advance solutions that empower every person and protect our planet.

Trevor and MSFT thanks! We are so engrossed in 'better' and 'faster' that we overlook how tech and AI can be utilised for all, minority or majority.

When is xbox getting AI? Ai being used for live translation for party chats would be massive. Or something like that, just an idea...

[@edh2246]

The best thing a sentient AI could do for humanity is to prevent us from killing each other, not by force, but by disrupting supply chains, communications, and financial transactions that enable the military machines throughout the world.

[@kirby145x]

AI weapons will make it so we don't have to send real people to get hurt. A strong AI military will ensure peace across the world.

[@jamesmacc]

But the control for that would be unwieldy, no? Also, wouldn't that require a significant loss of our freedoms? I know it's bad enough that we're piecewise handing them over to corporations, but do we want to go all in like that?

[@kIA7]

My question is Can artificial intelligence anticipate earthquakes or other natural disasters so that people are prepared for crises ? 🤔😱🤔

[@DamianHeinz]

Yes, there was a trial in China last year where AI predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they occurred.

Use AI to eliminate threats from autocracies and changing them for futureproof purposes otherwise with all these free AI mind from meta,etc , we will see much bigger problems rising humanity's progress on prosperity by ignoring state funded existents like nk,iri,russia,.... .

80% of the world has smartphones? where did you get this number? this is nuts! In no way can this be true.

[@sparkofcuriousity]

Do you really think so? People in Gaza don't have food but they all have smartphones... People in North Korea have smartphones... You think smartphones cost the same price everywhere? Companies have deals in order to sell smartphones at cheaper prices in developing nations and poor countries. Almost everywhere in the world everyone has internet and smartphones.

[@caty863]

@@sparkofcuriousity Looks like you live in a bubble. I live in such a developing country (Rwanda/Africa). I work with farmers, we currently serve 1.6million farmers. We record their phone numbers when we enroll them in our program so we can reach them with SMS. We pay to the telco millions of francs for these SMSs we send. Do you know what percentage of farmers receive the messages? 22%. Why? because they don't have phones. feature phones, not smartphones. They only have SIM cards they purchased so that they can qualify for government subsidies but they don't have phones to use them into.

[@sparkofcuriousity]

@@caty863 I might live in a bubble, but... Looks like you live in a bubble as well, if you're judging all places on the world by what you just see in your own surroundings and your own experience. No offense.

[@onlinemarketingpro9714]

Just because you can build something is it ethical to build it? Was the invention of nuclear weapons for the betterment of the world? Same goes for AI

[@mk1st]

Ah yes, but where is the real Trevor?

[@jscb21]

All of that sounds great... but what would happen in a scenario where the AI could take awareness? Why not? Until now, they can infer many solutions millions of times faster than a human, why if they would take consciousness, they would be in a helper position? I mean, they could infer that mankind is a fallen race that needs to be destroyed, and with all their skills the last thing they are going to do is to help a race so so tiny and pitiful. It would be insulting and degradant. Before, we could be grateful if they let us survive as their servants or their pets. Does Microsoft as a big corporation has a plan- b to that?

[@evankmutua3145]

@jscb21 Always a major concern with AI. Fortunately, human knowledge is limited. Science, based on the falsifying of hypotheses, is merely organized activity towards the acquisition of knowledge, and, by far, does not yet - or indeed will ever - represent a complete, absolute, collection of the universe of all knowledge. Can you define “awareness”, or “consciousness’? 🤔 If we cannot even define it, how can we then build a robot or AI that is self-aware, or conscious? Therefore, humanity may first suffer greatly, but will always have the upper hand, and be able to, eventually, pull the plug on AI. 🔌 I believe the fears of war waged on humans by a Skynet of the “Terminator” movies is just as misplaced as the fear of your toaster or microwave oven attacking you. ❎ But the lowering of the quality of human life, predicted by people such as the criminal Ted Kaczynski, or George Orwell may actually be right. ☑ Jobs and work are being hugely disrupted. 👨‍💼👷‍♀👨‍🏭 People will be induced to do less physical exercise to their harm because of driver-less cars, and more “smarter” lives. Data protection laws have been enacted because lack of privacy online is already a big issue. Even if you successfully hide your phone from the internet, people can still spy on you using the phones of the people around you.🕵

[@donlee_ohhh]

AI should have never been used for art. Art is a human pursuit & the ability of AI to regurgitate art & assemble it at a fevered pace in bulk diminishes the work of the artists AI stole it from & disheartens people who would be our next generation of artists. Please use AI for problems like they are talking about in this video & disallow/reject AI "Art".

[@kunjchauhan7745]

Exactly

[@kenechukwuanakwue9251]

The same way ai learn to reproduce art is similar to that of humans...there is no "stealing", only learning the connected patterns...the ai art should however be used as a template for the human artist to pour his soul and and personality into to transform it into magic!!🤩

[@enriquemartinez6509]

Well said brother

[@joshuaohuka7719]

You think this stops with art...? You don't realize that every single human endeavour on the planet is being affect by AIs road learning abilities...? Dude this is life... This is change... And everyone... Including artists... is going to have to adapt to it...

[@ladysaiyan9532]

I disagree, this is like saying you shouldn't use digital art. Technology is a medium for human creativity. AI isn't stopping humans from creating art.
