*WHY* Build AI? | Roz Picard | TEDxBeaconStreet

WHY build Artificial Intelligence (AI) if it makes the rich richer, consolidates greater power in fewer people, collects our personal data, and sells it so that we buy even more things we don't need?
The average person knows the names of the businesses making hundreds of billions of dollars a year profiting from AI's using our data but has never heard of the name of the condition that is #2 in causing years of potential life lost ( = total deaths x remaining life expectancy) of all neurological diseases. The disease that’s costing more years of life than Alzheimers, Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Meningitis, Encephalitis and more. Moreover, there is evidence that this cause of death may be largely preventable-if people knew about it.
A powerful smart wearable AI is now playing a role in helping prevent it, but it misses a critical component: human connection. Learn how you could help, how anybody with a brain could experience unusual electrical brain activity and get epilepsy, how activity in the human brain could shut off breathing, and how the power of human connection may not only improve lives, but also save them.
