Future Squared with Steve Glaveski

Neil Sahota is an IBM Master Inventor, United Nations A.I. subject matter expert, professor at UC Irvine, and globally-recognized speaker and author. Neil is a founding member of the UN’s Artificial Intelligence for Social Good Committee, and he’s here to talk about the ways we can harness the power of AI and use it for social good. Neil is also the author of Own the A.I. Revolution, providing a future-forward look at A.I., focusing on how businesses can use it to commercialize while doing good in the world. This was a wide-reaching and fascinating conversation in which we went down numerous rabbit holes, such as what true AI looks like, how AI can adopt our biases and prejudices, the impact on the future of work, AI developing consciousness, whether fears about AI’s capacity to destroy us are legitimate, augmented humanity and our cyborg future, developing countries leapfrogging the west, why philosophy and the arts matter when it comes to designing technology for humans, how organizations can start to take advantage of AI today, and so much more. With that, strap yourself in for my conversation with the one and only, Neil Sahota. Topics Discussed: What is AI? How do we define it? How far away is General AI, really? IBM Watson isn’t actually AI How AI makes decisions Encoding AI with human biases Decision-making challenges: how do you control for luck? 47% of U.S. jobs risk being automated by 2050 -- how will this affect me? Will we create more jobs than we destroy? What will humans do? The critical importance of philosophy and the arts The paperclip problem and perverse instantiation Will AI develop consciousness? At what point do augmented humans stop being humans and start being cyborgs? What aspects of the value chain can companies augment with AI today? How should they go about that?

This past weekend I went snowboarding at Australia’s Mount Hotham. While I have been a longtime skateboarder, and a short-time surfer, I’d never been snowboarding. While my skating skills were somewhat transferable, it didn’t stop my ass from hitting the white powder about 50 times. But that was okay. It just meant that I had to get up 51 times. --- Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski Steve's book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.

“There is nothing permanent except change”.  Heroclitus’ dictum is over 2,500 years old, and it’s more relevant than ever. Moore’s law, the doubling of computing power every 18 months, is fifty years old. In 1971, Intel’s 4004 contained just 2,300 transistors. Today’s microprocessors contain over 20 billion. The meteoric rise in computing power is rendering businesses big on process, five year plans and consensus seeking meetings unable to adapt fast enough. ---- ---------- Employee to Entrepreneur book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.

“How Big Is Your Company?” Human beings are social animals. Henceforth, like a peacock signaling reproductive fitness with its large and colourful tail, human beings signal through our haircuts, clothes, the cars we drive, the places we live, what we eat (or choose not to eat — here’s looking at you vegans and intermittent fasters), when we wake up, how often we work out, and the titles on our business cards — among a plethora of other things. If you’re an entrepreneur or leader, then you’ve probably felt the urge to signal how many people you have working for you. At the very least, you’ve no doubt been asked the status gathering question, “how big is your team?” before. The thing is, the answer to this question no longer means what it once did.  --- Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ GET COACHED BY LUCAS: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/coaching GET LUCAS TO DESIGN YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOL: https://www.ergogenic.health/product/custom-stack Hosted on Acast.
