This is an edited version of my June 10, 2023, TEDx talk in Cluj, Romania, with improved sound and various oohs and ahs removed using the amazing @Descript app. The original TEDx version is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Fx8LKgQ70&t=0s.
I presented a riveting talk on the future of technology, artificial intelligence, jobs, work, and education. In this talk, I outlines why too much of a good thing (such as exponential technologies) can be a very bad thing, and ask the key question: Who will be Mission Control for humanity? How do we make sure that all technology results in collective human flourishing?
