Digital ethics and the future of humans in a connected world | Gerd Leonhard | TEDxBrussels

[@vamshikrisg8577]

That's interesting. I had quite a few discussions on this in my Management class at USYD. Fascination never ceases while talking about the future of this technological world.

[@LuciaFreitas]

Thank you Gerd for this most fundamental thinking about our reality.

[@udaybhaskar448]

Thanks a ton dear Gerd Leonhard, for very insightful talk and ideas. It inspires all of us to rethink and reframe on what is valuable and what sells, though there are majority of 'hubots' who turn into technology or gadgets, the real quest for meaning and self-realisation is not only immensely worthwhile but also joyful.

[@anthonyleonard]

I highly recommend this talk where Gerd Leonhard provides an excellent high-level overview of exponential change using various excerpts from current exponential change thought leaders. Gerd asks relevant, timely, and thought provoking questions about the ethics and implications of exponential change.

Six years later: Neither Google Glass nor Jibo were successful. Self-driving cars still are not commonplace. HOWEVER Alexa, Siri, and Social Media are doing more than their fair share of damage

[@ammarhafez4078]

Self driving cars are a commonplace now 4 years later.

[@annieboookhall]

@@ammarhafez4078 Eh, I don't know if I would say that (I don't regularly see them out of the street). But they have definitely made strides

[@ChristineWeiss]

great talk, totally agree on your insights and forsights. Hope we make the balance :-)

You should thank him for the assignment. Now think about it and tell him your thoughts.

This is highly informative content. A similar book I read was just as enlightening. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

Can AI could smoke weed

[@amelieschuberth8070]

The question is not could it or not. The question is could we create an "AI weed" that have the same psycho and physio effects on the AI.

[@kilroy79763]

lol I think you guys are smoking too much weed!

Maybe down the line digital gonads and ovaries will be developed and marketed. It could turn into the ethical majority someday.

Computers must be programed and since they are machines they are not able to make free choices. They are only as smart as their programmers and they "always" act according to their programming. There will never be a time that computers hold a primacy over human beings, what a fantasy. Even though a computer can calculate faster than a human being it cannot make decisions like a human being, it is mere programming and human beings are creatures of intellect and free will, created in the image of God.

[@two2truths]

Michael Doherty omg I was totally reading your post and thinking "heres a person who knows how to think"... until I got to metaphysical throw in at the end which threw me off. Disappointing.

[@Bls61793]

Had this conversation with my old man recently... unfortunately, as a software engineer doing R&D on Artificial Intelligence I fundamentally disagree. I do not believe that my position comes from a place of hubris and over-estimation of human abilities because I honestly wish that we (human beings-specifically software people) were NOT capable of some of the things that we are (some of it is just too dangerous). That being said. You ARE correct. Machines MUST be programmed, and they follow their instructions. HOWEVER, what you are missing here is this: Software is written to perform a pre-defined tasks in a certain order. However, "Learn how to be the best mechanic in the world" and "Repair this vehicle" are valid pre-defined tasks that a deep learning based Artificial Intelligence (AI) CAN perform. The main "task" that AI programmers code into their software is "Learn". Also, it IS possible for software to write more software, as software code is nothing more than a text file. There are very few software programs in existence which cannot write text files. By extension, once an AI program "Learns" how to do these complex tasks, it is then possible for the program to generate a new version of itself which includes instructions for how to repair that vehicle in that situation. DISCLAIMER: very simplified for brevity.

Would you review again and let us know if the last five years of technology advancement has changed your mind?

[@aryankhilosia9570]

It was so hard to focus with the slides being so poorly designed. Seems very unprofessional for TED,

This guy does not understand complementarity between security end privacy. And he is also unable to think in term of governance of the digital word. Pathetic.
