TEDx Talks
As a whole, society has never gotten worse off from technological disruption, yet ewe are scared out of our minds of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Most people don’t understand AI, but it will never exist and it’s actually so much better than that. A Minnesota boy at home in the mountains, when Charlie is not teaching his nine and two year olds how to ski powder he is using mathematics to tell computers how to discover patterns in data. He believes that by sharing information on computer science, we are all better off. He also thinks that if you only give him the chance he can teach you any statistical concept and that you’ll walk away actually thinking positively about math. Charlie has co-founded two software product companies based on artificial intelligence while a PhD student at CSU, in the Real Estate FinTech and Healthcare spaces, while failing a handful of others. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Artificial Intelligence will never exist but it is much better than that | Charlie Vollmer | TEDxCSU
Felicitaciones Charlie! Un abrazo desde Valparaíso
Never have, therefore never will, is a flawed argument.
Artificial Intelligence is sadly still around. Few humans have evolved beyond artificial intelligence. Those with AI brains are easily programmable. They can however become extremely knowledgeable people, and thus can end up with PhD's. But due to that lack of true intelligence, they are incapable of being able to understand the difference between right and wrong. Instead, they only know the difference. For them it is only a unit of knowledge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get it. Humans are special. Humans are unique. I can see this guy, standing at a podium at Oxford University, early in the 1800s, scoffing at the work of Alessandro Volta… "As the very nature of the Electric Torpedo Ray, or the Electric Catfish is so fundamentally different to our science, humans will never achieve artificial electricity".
He would have been wrong then – and he's not so right today. He's not even right on the fundamentals. Human brains are pretty great at computing – think there's no computing going on to enable a major league batter to hit a ball coming towards him an ninety miles per hour? There's a pile of literature of human minds (often malfunctioning minds) that could tell you the weather on July 7th, 1984, or play a piece of complex music after hearing it once, or recall a book perfectly or perform complex math – all pure computing.
First – do we really want to duplicate the Human mind? I would hope not, except for possible therapeutic studies. Why duplicate a mind, frequently distracted by hunger, muddled by fatigue, cluttered with fear, anger, love, superstition, preoccupied with mating and constantly on the edge of becoming psychotic if any of a dozen neuro-chemicals are even slightly out of balance?
Second, many of the supposedly unique human attributes, curiosity, intuition, creativity, self-awareness – these are, as it turns out, not so exclusive. These traits can be found, to a lesser degree, in less intelligent species. They are effectively, useful byproducts of complexity. And complexity is just a matter of scaling and algorithms – two things we're pretty good at.
Listening to Charlie Vollmer is analogous to having a colonoscopy without sedation, which I have done. What’s with the huge bun?
I feel like this is very much a debate to the statement: "Machines have a maximum intelligence. Humans do not." Suppose someone challenged the statement. They proved that machines have a higher intelligence and the 'maximum' is greater than the original.
I agree I this case that the "new" data is obsolete from the "old" data because "old" will never have "new". However, "new" will always have "old" but never the new "new".
I think if I ever hear the word "incredible" again, used so frequently and improperly, I'll tear my hair out.
Except that it does exist and your brain constantly makes calculations just to function in the environment.
To beat a grand master at go, isn't purely cramming data.
Did u needed to dress like a barnan from westworld?
Considering the fews years of computation and artificial intelligence research this speech it is ridiculous.
TEDx takes some credibility from TED since on `x` many intervenients are very bad or make useless speeches
technology has undoubtedly set us back. millenia
Hopefully AI will be able to explain why longer life isn't always better, or how extending the life of the planet would be more generally beneficial.
This guy really underestimates the collective creation of human beings and the power of computers.
Intelligence is the ability to solve problems in an environment.
So while computers may never be concious. They can be programmed to a point of intelligence that surpasses humans. Then ask a computer smarter than humans to upgrade itself. It would be exponential growth. The only problem to get past is getting that first set of code completed that will start the cycle of self growth in computers. You write it once and then humans will never have to work ever again.
Then we get to the thought that these computers may be so smart that they find the correct theories for gravity. Or where the universe comes from. Are we alone? Or finally decode the entire human brain and solve the problem of consiousness without itself ever being concious…
Depending on what if finds conciousness to be, there might be a chance that it could create artificial conciousness.
No matter what humans are going to move forward with technological progress unless we blow up the earth in war. So to say that we won't have AI is bs.
Consciousness doesnt need to be included in a system of intelligence.
Facebook isnt concious but it has the intelligence to know what ad to show you… the earth isnt concious but it corrects itself with an intelligent weather system… I could go on.
This speaker does seem to lack some intelligence though.
This guy…..
It is the "What If" questions in the end that are totally naif. Because what if you get that message but it is not true. What if you get that message because the "doctor" is interested for you to visit him/ her and get a treatment, just for the money. What if they get you a treatment that kills you?
Not very well put, but he is right. Good job!
Is he gonna drink that water or not.
What's your point, Charlie?
This guy has a very simplistic idea of the subject.
He is Absolutely right,
'AI' is a un-intelligent statement, a dead flock-hauling mantra, there never gonna be any 'AI' at all.
So, the AI-believers dont know what 'intelligence' actually is.
And there is a very big confusion, specially the exchance between the brain, and the consciousness. The consciousness are not in the brain, but works through the brain.
Consciousness can be programmed, automatic (Instinct) can do mental functions.
Intelligence, are one of six shades of Our Eternal Consciousness, (Instinct is another)
Intelligence is notting in it self, Instinct is notting in it self, Memory, is notting in it self.
They must be part of an consciousness, to make consciousness possible, and consciousness can only belong to a living being.
(just a short glimse, from a very extensive study)
He earns psychological trust by saying that he's lying, after he lies. Seriously guy.
DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN
Your understanding of artificial inteligence is not complet. Your vision of AI is good for the next 5 years. Beyond 5 years AI will become inteligent. WHY you ask. Because are brain and a computer work the same way. The only diference is a ccmputer is binairy and a brain is analog.
All the work is for Consciousness. These Physics Blokes are just doing the same thing they have been doing for thousands of years, Playing G*D, and make no mistake peeps, they will figure out the math equation for consciousness, and once they do, it's going to be Katy-Bar-the-door, Christians talk about the Anti-Christ, well welcome to the Anti-Consciousness one.
What a shallow depicture of what AI means for us. All risks swept under the carpet.
tfw everyone who clicks on this video and comments on it is suddenly an expert on artificial intelligence.
What's in the bottle?
It's impossible to have a true AI except delusions.
The term should be automation not AI but I guess it's all about selling point.
AI currently exist
What is motivation and desire beyond a programmed response?
AI exists now
Our brain store data and compute data too
Right?
And what point of different about it ?
Ai just like bug life or single cell respon input randomly but that way we knew once all animal or some animal evoluetion from single cell , right ?
What different about it
How long human rule to control input data before
AI will control input by itseft
Here is my point of view: The first form of life wasn't intelligent at all. The only thing it could do differently from anything else in the universe was to absorb energy and use it to multiply itself. Life used to be a single dot, smaller than a human cell that could multiply. We went from that thing to us now (intelligent humans) due to evolution. So since computers can already do way more than multiplying themselves, I don't see why we can't eventually create truly intelligent AI. I believe that when we build a computer, we create life. But our starting point (our angle of approach) is simply different.
It can happen
