Artificial Intelligence EVERYONE

@joyfulUs2825 does using this site count?? Otherwise I don't use it

Sorry, but I have no idea why it is in Music and Dance category 😁 

I think that talking to the AI is somewhere between being in touch with a human, with some wise algorithms and asking an oracle or maven, who has a lot of knowledge.

The limitations of its use is your imagination and ability to ask questions:

You may ask it to translate something to French or correct your mistakes in English grammar.

You may ask her for some career advice.

You may question him what could be less damaging to our planet: producing ten thousand robots, to be recycled after 150 years, or ten thousand new humans being born.

You may ask them for some cooking advice or check what is most recommended for your lumbar pain.

There are also some other areas, where AI notoriously fails, like: "could you, please find me the title and author of a novel where one of the main characters is a robot called Galileo...?" while giving some additional detail. It is possible it can give you the title of a Pink Floyd album or a horror movie title instead 😆

No. It must be destroyed!!! (But how?)

@joyfulUs2825 AI is already here, so the real question isn't whether we need it, but how we handle it. It's like the discovery of fire or invention of wheel or the industrial revolution —inevitable. The question was always "when and who". Now that AI is a part of our world, it’s a bit like nuclear energy: it has huge potential to improve our lives or if misused could lead to catastrophic outcomes. I don't think AI will become sentient and attack us like Skynet or spark a "Matrix" scenario. The real danger lies in the hands of those who control it—much like how a hammer can either build or destroy.

AI is advancing at an exponential rate, but we’re still far behind when it comes to creating regulations, guidelines, and limitations. The dangers of misinformation, deepfakes, and privacy violations are very real. There are also issues around intellectual property, like copyrights on AI-generated content. Ethical questions arise, such as whether it’s okay to use AI to create content about deceased people, like a new Charlie Chaplin movie with an AI Chaplin. What about consent? Or the growing issue of deepfake pornography, fraud, and phishing scams? Then there’s the matter of AI storing our private data and questions of data localization and carbon footprint.

One of the biggest concerns for me is though-  is about machine learning—especially when AI is trained on biased data. This can lead to "hallucinations" or biased outcomes, and in an already divided world, the far-reaching consequences of biased data are hard to stop. With the right AI or the wrong AI, a powerful person could create propaganda, topple governments, or manipulate stock markets. At its core, human civilization has always been built on information and data. Throughout history, those with access to the right information have held power—whether it was predicting regime changes or influencing stock markets. (Hey even the cavemen, who had data about hunting grounds thrived and later in the sedentary phase of civilisation, those people with data on weather and seeds and animal attack timings thrived. Data is not just 0s and 1s - anything that influence our decisions is data). Since Our decisions are driven by data - what if someone can manipulate that data and create biased outputs in such a way that we can’t even tell if it’s trustworthy? The consequences are far more dangerous than any nuclear weapon. It’s someone else controlling our decisions, shaping our biases, all without us even realizing it. No other technology or invention ever created has had the same potential to manipulate, predict, or influence human minds in such a profound way.

I know this paints a grim picture, but the  world is adapting to AI. I’ve heard the EU has passed legislation on AI, and there was a talk at the World Economic Forum, I think it was at the Davos summit (not this year's ... I think maybe 2023 or earlier), with Yuval Noah Harari speaking about AI’s implications. Still, we as users need to stay aware and hold those behind AI accountable. There’s still hope, but we’ve got to act responsibly.

And by the way, I do use AI, though not for chatting! The last time I used it, I created an image of a ginger cat sipping coconut juice on a beach in Bali. It was for a friend—I’m babysitting his cat.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk! (Sorry for the existential crisis I just created )
