We are living in very exciting times.
We are entering the next wave of tech change
This presentation is not meant to scare you.
It is intended to make you aware of the
context we live in.
Awareness is the best antidote for ignorance
Present
Future ?
But.. This change is not linear.
We are entering Augmented and virtual reality
 400 HOUR
PER MINUTE

The tread for video uploading

is increasing exponentially by about 10X every 5 years
 A question that faces us today

What is the appropriate role for

machine intelligence ?
Increasingly capable machines are continuing to improve
their skills on tasks, both cognitive and physical, that
previously have been the sole province of humans.
What is the future promise vs risk, and what should we
do about that ?
Will machines still need us?
What about tomorrow ?
Recent Break-through in machine learning
 Adding knowledge..

Which could you sit in ?

What is most likely to bite what ?
What is more likely to become a computer scientist someday?
If you could only save one in an emergency, which would you choose ?
 Ethics and Responsibilities
 As AI gets more capable and the interactions increase
 who is responsible for use of the technology
 Eq. is it the drone or the drone designer who fires the missile ?

 What are the ethical dimensions of machines taking human jobs

 We are heading to a displacement/disruption similar to the industrial revolution.
 We made it through that, but with a lot of painful societal changes
 Ethics and Responsibilities
 As AI gets more capable and integrations increases
 Is it ethical for us to not use machines where we cannot
deploy people ?
Done wrong, we do look at a scary possibility
Done right, it may be our best hope
 Everything is going to be OK*

*As long as we respect one another with dignity and humanity.

Thanks for listening.
