The 4th Industrial Revolution: The Rise of the Machines | Cyril Lutterodt | TEDxUTA


welcome everyone today I’m gonna be
talking about the fourth Industrial
Revolution and the rise of the machines
so you’re asking what is the rise of
machines
well I’m sure most of you guys are
familiar with this and over here is an
Amazon Prime drone delivery device and
on the right is a autonomous Roomba
cleaning device how many of you guys
know what this is anyone I guess not so
this is a Honda a similar robot which is
able to play a violin and as you can see
throughout the years there’s a lot of
technical technological changes
happening over the last century or so
and you were able to see this through
the next Industrial Revolution this next
Industrial Revolution was theorized by
Klaus Schwab Klaus Schwab is the head of
the World Economic Forum and he devised
this new fourth Industrial Revolution
which talks about seven physical systems
so for most of you who don’t know what
the different revolutions industrial
revolutions are the first was with the
steam engine the locomotive engine the
second was reelect wristlet with Nikola
Tesla and Thomas Edison devising all
these different means of means of ways
for electricity and Henry Ford created
and master summation of cars and the
third one is IT with Steve Jobs creating
a personal computer which ABA was able
to connect multiple people and multiple
devices where are we in the technology
curve well as you can see here this is
the da Vinci robot and a surgeon is able
to remotely operate on a person from
anywhere in the world which changes
things differently because a certain has
to be bound in a surgery room now we
have robots actually doing it which is
really interesting because in this day
and age we have you because just mobile
computer systems intelligent robots but
how does that really affect us the goal
here is to reach a type one civilization
currently right now or a type 0
civilization and by that type one
civilization means we harness on nearest
star the energy from a nearest star and
today we’re still relying those fossil
fuels and how is this going to affect us
in the future the effects of job job
wages and labor savings is more or less
depicted here in this picture
this is mi t–‘s bei kebab where they
serve people or patients with food on a
tray and it takes time off for nurses
and doctors to go and do actual tests
actually less time-consuming and do
matter in the field here I’ll briefly
show you a video of the one that
summation that’s actually happened as we
speak in New York this is a automated
POS display device where McDonald’s
actually using in this day and age as
you can see the person is going up to
the POS other major POS display and he’s
briefly gonna walk up select the screen
and then choose what he wants and this
is all done without any human
interaction
so is this good as this bad well I’ll be
talking more about it in the next slide
so the challenges of robots ultimate
ultimate advices and so on and so forth
economics Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew
McAfee pointed out that although there’s
going to be a greater yielding
inequality there’s also potential to
disrupt labor markets and on a macro
view you can see that your evolution
more or less has less accountants less
taxi drivers less Baker’s less faster
cooks but at the same time there’s going
to create more jobs
the last technological disruption and
innovation in terms of the revolution as
you can see there was a lot of people
that lost their jobs in terms of mass
production but it was another revolution
where people are able to work home work
from home remotely and so forth so
necessarily in a macro view is not going
to specifically create a job
displacement it might create more jobs
and lead to more training because we
need more people to train robots and so
on and so forth
opportunities there’s so many
opportunities with robots because one
robots are way more precise way more
better and we control them the way we
need to and over here is a video by
shaft and shaft is work to DARPA and
that’s the DARPA challenge of how a
person a robotic humanoid is able to
gain a car and drive a car and provide
multiple tasks and so and so forth over
there you can see the person the robot
has an arm on the actual steering wheel
and he’s able to many play move around
to different obstacles 100% automated
and here a robot going over like complex
obstacles and trying to balance
themselves just to see how complex are
how ape capable it is to go through
certain complex environments so what
does this mean the implication for this
means that there’s gonna be new there’s
gonna allow us to revolutionize our
industry and create university-based and
is more feasible for us to create a
university basically basic income the
quality of life has increased not only
has that and only has that affected us
in the way we in the way we live today
technology has become rapidly cheaper so
how fast is technology changing so from
the IBM first-ever mainframe to the
Apple 2 to the quad-core i7 2 Giga ram
through year Ram computers we have today
it’s all changing and as you can see
this is a singularity curve this curve
right here is a single average curve
currently right now we have a computer
that’s the size of a rat and the brain
power is enough to compute something
that rat would by 2045 we should hit
singularity and by that means we’re able
to compute the same capabilities or have
the same computing power as a human
bringing will robots rise against us if
so in I’m sure all of you guys are
asking that question like this is not
gonna be iRobot or this is not give you
Terminator robot to come around and take
over the world this is not gonna happen
so the goal here is AI is defined as
human intelligence and in order for that
to happen David Chalmers a famous
philosophical neuroscience and
theoretical theorises stay that there
will be AI and since there’s AI it is
gonna be a plus and it is AI plus
there’s gonna be a plus plus so hence
more or less before too long there’s
going to be absent defeatist there’s
always going to be a better AI and a
better revolutionary step in terms of
how computers and robots are able to
interact each other so what do we do
what’s the solution here the solution is
to create a desirable environment for
robots and to lock them in a virtual
world which were more or less create a
leak-proof singularity you’re not
preventing them from escaping but their
own alternate reality where we’re able
to simulate and control them in the way
we need to because similarly in our
environment our world is going to create
a big disparity regarding how we
interact with them in my
cause of possibility of robot
consciousness and so on and so forth
creating a society in a post single
arity world will help us adapt a
rational pace and not only will that
prevent inequalities and job worker
displacements it will also allow us to
work better work faster and innovate
better this is a famous quote by Elon
Musk
it says humans must someday merging
machines in order to avoid becoming
obsolete and I’m sure many of you guys
are familiar with Illinois a recent
statement about neural link where he
plans on merging robots with humans and
they’re able to have more computing
power or more memory storage so on and
so forth and they’re able to interact
with humans better because the way it is
there’s a new technological revolution
coming along and it’s either humans
innovate and move forward or get left
behind and I know I like to say thank
you
