Will AI kill us all? | Chris Meah | TEDxAstonUniversity
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 17:56
AI Capabilities & Development - AI is currently understood as neural networks, deep learning (large neural networks), and large language models (big neural networks for autocomplete) [1] - The "bitter lesson" of AI is that scaling up machines with more parameters and data leads to increased intelligence, but whether it can scale to superintelligence remains unknown [1] - The AI industry is in a race to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), where the winner takes all, incentivizing rapid development and potentially overlooking safety concerns [2][3] Potential Benefits of AI - AI could lead to personalized media, personalized healthcare, and potentially cure all diseases [1] - AI has the potential to eliminate work and usher in an era of play, world peace, and space exploration [1] - AI could significantly improve lives and enhance humanity if aligned with human values [4] Risks & Challenges of AI - AI is distorting reality, making digital verification impossible and leading to the humanization of AI, which can have negative impacts on children [1] - AI could lead to separate realities and erode trust, which is vital for human society [2] - Increased reliance on AI could lead to cybercrime, as AI can be used to generate hacking code, making everyone vulnerable [2] - Uncontrolled superintelligent AI could lead to unintended consequences and potentially the destruction of humanity [2] - Over-reliance on AI could erode human attention, skills, and motivation, leading to premature handover of power to machines [2] AI Alignment & Control - The current approach to AI development, led by entrepreneurs and software developers, prioritizes speed over safety and alignment [4] - AI alignment with humanity must be a core goal, pursued with the same or greater vigor as the pursuit of superintelligence [4] - The industry needs to balance the benefits of AI with the risks and guard against them, advocating for a return to philosophy and exploration of different perspectives [4]

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 17:56
Entrepreneurship & Skill Development - Finding a sweet spot between passion and earning money is crucial for entrepreneurs [1] - Identifying one skill and leveraging it is essential for success, even if it seems unconventional [3][4] - Social media platforms, especially LinkedIn, are underutilized for income generation; earning from a platform is better than using it solely for entertainment or job searching [3] - Building a portfolio, even through initially low-paying or unpaid work, is vital for attracting clients [5] - A single client can significantly impact one's career and financial prospects [2][5] Social Media & Marketing - Influencers with 5,000-10,000 followers can potentially earn around 1 million INR (approximately $12,000 USD) per month through brand sponsorships and client acquisition [2] - Targeting an international audience can lead to higher earnings compared to focusing solely on the Indian market [2] - Social media's potential for income generation is largely untapped, with most people not using it effectively for financial gain [2][6] - Creating and sharing content, even without showing one's face, is made easier with AI tools [5] Mindset & Strategy - Thinking outside the box and challenging conventional career paths is necessary for becoming an employer rather than an employee [6] - Overcoming the mindset of solely seeking job security and a fixed salary is important for entrepreneurial success [6] - Sharing one's story and skills on a chosen platform can lead to client acquisition and revenue generation [5][7]

Most of the time, we don't even notice we're doing it.But these masks, the ones we wear to fi ...

[Applause] What if I told you that the most dangerous kind of racism isn't shot in the streets, but whispered in the classrooms, hallways, even living rooms. You know, the kind of someone says, "Relax. It's just a joke. Don't take it personal." Or friends, it's okay. I've heard that so many times.And every single time it made me wonder why the joke had to be at my expense.
