[Applause]
okay so today is gonna look a little bit
like this first I’d like to start with a
quiz who’s wearing clean clothes today
put your hand up all right how many of
you cleaned it yourself by hand okay
and that’s why the beauty is automation
now just a little bit about myself a
freebie work concern doing medical
devices as well some high performance
computing and then also spend a little
bit of time working on smart locks but
now I’ve come back to work in a hospital
and here I’m essentially helping out the
people that will take care of you if you
get sick so let’s look a little bit
about curiosity when I was does anybody
know what this is by the way where is it
yeah so that’s where I grew up and as
you can imagine it rains a lot so you
spend a lot of time indoors and what I
used to do was to just go around looking
for things and my dad’s a chemist which
basically means that when you look
around enough you find things like this
which then lead onto that and all of a
sudden as a child you like what what
does that do right exciting is that the
one that really takes the biscuit
is is this particular one does anyone
know does anybody know what that is it’s
a slide rule it allows you to do very
complex multiplications and divisions by
adding or subtracting and logarithmic
scale and obviously as a child I had no
idea but when I asked my dad I was like
what is it you know what what is it good
for and he told me well look you know
when the NASA was trying to take a man
to the moon this is what they used so
imagine the responsibility of getting
the calculations right and so all of
this leads on to discovery and in order
to get there you need to have that
childlike wonder of what what is this
all about
and if you don’t know this is Randy
Pausch a very famous and well-spoken
computer scientist so I recommend you
read about it
now in terms of personality some of you
might think that I’m a little special
but I can tell you my mum’s a
psychologist and she used to have a lot
of these lying around and every now and
then we would take some of these so as
you can imagine I’ve taken a few so I
officially can say my mom had me tested
so let’s look a little bit about the
difference between tasks and jobs
so who knows what that is right
everybody’s had one played around with
that and most of the time you use it in
the Walkman rather than sitting at home
and you rely on batteries now batteries
were costly so what do you do something
cheaper and here then we go on to
delegation and that’s the slight
difference between a job and a task so
imagine you have an older brother and
older sister and you’re like hey do you
want to do this so yeah you go okay so
then now your first job and then that
means that every now and then you get to
listen to some of her or his music and
in terms of reward you know that’s
that’s what you care about so let’s
imagine that a year goes on and after
that he or she gets a Walkman I mean at
this man so now you’re out of a job
because you don’t have to whine anything
now there’s a benefit and is that you
can get all of this for free she passes
it on to you so you might have no job
but you have some of the rewards and
it’s all about an automated task that’s
the difference so let’s talk a little
bit about statistics this person here
Hans Rosling he’s made wonderful
presentations about statistics of the
world and how things work in and evolve
over time and I want to talk about that
as well the life expectancy of all of us
around here has been growing steadily
for years however the fertility is been
going down which then leads to this
geography
geographical pyramid becoming a tower
right so you have a lot of people at the
top and in essence
this is resulted in in a decrease of
dependence so as a working person you
have maybe some children and you have
some parents or grandparents to take a
tick take care of so because the number
of children has been reducing that’s
been going down but surely now there’s
more and more elderly people and it’s
going back up again however and this is
where it gets unfortunately pretty dire
is that the number of beds per unit of
population has been going down not just
in Western countries but also worldwide
will also most likely follow suit which
results in this you know you might have
a surgery that’s been scheduled for you
for months you waiting for it you depend
on it but because there’s not enough
beds that day because there’s been a car
accident in the road and they need the
beds they can delay you they need to
call you and let you know that it won’t
be happening today and this happens
often
so only patients are already there get
to use it now
let’s talk about you what are you going
to do about it
because if we don’t do something this
could get quite messy so this is me this
is my life in weeks every single square
is a week and that’s where I am today
here at Eric’s but what are you gonna do
right we have a limited amount of time
where we are productive and you know
have everything going for us we’re not
unhealthy we have our time so I want you
to think about that and it might feel
like this now but please every now and
then I hope you can stop and have a
break and think of the future so pick an
area health education food shelter the
basics energy we’ve talked about this
before and do the right thing and then
do this thing right so
with this I want to take you on to
something that my mom used to tell me
when I was little you know we used to
talk about Oh what do you want to do
when you older she says well you know do
something that will be needed in the
time of war and this was inspired
because of the whole Spanish legacy of
the Civil War but where are we today
right does anybody know what that is
that is the syrian-turkish border in
2009 and look at it now all of those
little dots are abandoned cars of people
who were fleeing war and had to cross I
would suggest we should be focusing on
working on something that will prevent
Wars how do we do that we focus on the
basics make sure that everybody’s
covered you worry about cost
well automate and with this there’ll be
some people that are a little bit
skeptical right there’s always one or
two or maybe one or two million who
knows so let’s let’s take it to basics
right so we’ve got this population
pyramid and they’ll say well you know
this all this AI stuff and automation
things it’s new so surely it’s it’s
quite weird so I am you know this age so
that’s what I worry about
but then that leads on people saying
well if we have AI and we have many many
many versions of it working in a job
that I’m doing it’s going to be like
having a lot of competition so all my
other jobs are gonna go away right
ai is gonna be stealing our jobs that’s
the essential narrative that you keep
hearing day in and day out journalists
or work in population again they focus
on them so it’s important to remember
that AI is a bit like mushrooms so you
have some dangerous ones but you also
have some good ones so let’s not decide
we shouldn’t have mushrooms let’s just
pick the right ones so what do you do
instead
we should focus on things that are
practical right imagine you go to the
bank and you want to go there at a
particular time of the day when you’re
free and you’ve just finished your work
so is maybe like six or something but
it’s closed why because they work the
same hours as you so we need to find a
solution for that so out of our support
you pick up the phone you want to get a
mortgage or something and you’re like
well I would like to apply this is my
information why do you need to be
speaking to a human right somebody else
can be at home having dinner with a
family rather than sitting in an office
talking to you and what if you are sick
and don’t want to leave the house right
you speak to a doctor
same thing far away so again there’ll be
some skeptics and they’ll be saying that
we lost all the jobs but the most
important thing is that it’s not about
you it’s about them
the children and the elderly people they
need your help they need all the help
they can get because a lot of them can’t
fend for themselves so why not so I
would suggest that if we’re going to
focus on any automation on any AI at
least your personal choice it would be
nice if it was to help so helping
healthcare help as a tutor in school why
not
are you doing your homework and your
parents can’t help because they don’t
know about the topic or they just have
to work they’re on the phone talking to
you at the back so you can speak to a
tutor but a lot of time most people
don’t really have the insight to trust
AI so I’m just going to give a little
bit of a coverage of that they talk
about the potential same as this light
rule this has the potential take us to
the next step and it starts with
something like this you tag it you
define what each thing is and then the
AI can go ok well I’ll take this and
I’ll categorize it and I will store it
somewhere and then after that you have
specific sections for different
functions but imagine that for example
you as yourself or somebody that’s
pretty happy but at some point in your
life
you get really sad there happens to all
of us and then the AI sort of prodding
you like be happy now be happy not know
you can’t have that you need empathy and
you only get that by having somebody who
feels the same way you do who’s been
there and recognizes that so I propose
that we need a motive AI as well maybe
not right now but soon and you need the
full spectrum all the different gamuts
of feelings making sure that it’s kind
it’s not gonna get angry and take over
the world so we need to think about that
steal don’t be some skeptics they’ll say
well you know in the future there’s only
going to be certain types of jobs around
AI the people that build it the people
that train it and the one that have to
do what the a day I decides I think it
can get better
but however you know we’ve seen this in
the past humans used to do everything
from A to B do the whole task but then
now certain types of business models you
put in a lot of software that takes a
lot of decisions the person only does a
little tiny little bit what happens if
the AI decide this task is not for you
you need to go begging to the AI to give
you that particular task that particular
job because you want to make some money
so in order to compensate for that I
think that we should build AI that has
enough emotional and sentiment sentiment
analysis to recognize what you’re
feeling and to adapt to that to
understand and to mirror to how you
feeling so looking forward
Alan Turing famous mathematician helped
win Second World War he was also
thinking about human-like AI and he
invented the Turing test is a test
whereby if you speaking to something you
can’t tell if it’s a machine or a human
right and then Steve Jobs came along and
in 1983 said well how about one day we
build a system that allows you to have a
conversation with someone like Aristotle
so in order to do that we need to then
scratch the Turing test and aim for the
Allen test where we know it’s him and
you can’t tell if it’s your friend Allen
or a computer just representing Allen I
think what was that useful for well the
true human like AI could do this you
might have lost your grandfather a
couple of years ago but one day you
decide you want to have a conversation
with him still there you can still call
him he can still give you advice on how
to do things in school so overall if you
want to write something pass a message
you write a book if you want to say
something you just record it if you want
to share an image you take camera but if
you think of something one day will be
stored in AI so AI I believe is a medium
a bit like the internet and so on you
will have a medium to communicate and
it’s up to us to decide what we do with
it so what’s next a lot of people get
worried about robots taking over the
world one day they might do but not just
yet so like the washing machine their
head some of autumn some of the
automation solutions are Hardware
dependent and some of those are software
only you click a button in a browser
you haven’t really had to buy a new
piece of machine just to do that and
then on the top we have the AI are
supposed to learn and keep learning and
learn for itself but then we still have
some handcrafted encoded solutions where
every single script needs to be done by
a human so in the bottom left corner you
have bumps and speed limitations but on
the top it’s like the autobahn in
Germany there’s no speed limit
you can do whatever you want and go for
it we need to be careful there’s some
human jobs there too so I believe that
humans are to builders and as such we’ll
end up doing things that are very useful
to us with it and I believe that we
should be focusing on air helper I’m not
saying everybody but if you’re looking
for inspiration I think this is a pretty
good one so when you were a child in
school you probably start a conversation
with what’s your name and then you want
to play and then you go to university it
gets a little bit more serious you go
what’s your name what do you study
and then you become an adult and then
you say what’s your name and what do you
do where there’s no reason why it should
be like that when we automate we’ll get
a lot of our time back and I believe
that we should probably go from what do
you do to what are you studying
and hey do you wanna play so the final
quiz does anybody know where this is
this is a pneumatic message tube that
was used in the New York library to send
messages up and down to say somebody
requested a book the people working
downstairs go and pick it up and over
here is a very similar system in Paris
in the 60s not that long ago this works
so well that Paris wasn’t one of the
last cities in Europe to have full
adoption of the telephone so I would say
add that faster than you want to now
given that we’re hopefully not that
afraid of the new any more I would say
well this is the old type of code you
know people are getting used to
recognizing this everything is
controlled and color coded it
an AI is a bit like a black box so I’d
say well you know prepare for it if you
want to get involved in this go meet
some friends that have the same ideas
want to do that plan your route and
there’ll be some moments where you can’t
really see the end of it but one day you
will and hopefully by then you build
something that all of you
can use even if they’re not an expert
thank you very much
you
okay so today is gonna look a little bit
