How AI can enhance our memory, work and social lives | Tom Gruber



How smart can our machines make us? Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri, wants to make “humanistic AI” that augments and collaborates with us instead of competing with (or replacing) us. He shares his vision for a future where AI helps us achieve superhuman performance in perception, creativity and cognitive function — from turbocharging our design skills to helping us remember everything we’ve ever read and the name of everyone we’ve ever met. “We are in the middle of a renaissance in AI,” Gruber says. “Every time a machine gets smarter, we get smarter.”

  1. The corporations will never choose to augment the people. Automation makes money, augmentation does not. That is just the way the world runs

  2. A flawless memory might not be compatible with human emotions. Memories are not datas, they are fused with feelings. We don't remember our past like a computer would, we ''feel'' our past. If we remember everything in every detail, the brain would no longer fill incomplet memories with emotions and would only be processing datas.

  3. Ladies and gentelman. I introduce you to AI, your future job replacement. Please be nice to him as you training him to do your job and turn the lights off on your way out.
    Thank you

  4. I would imagine the old Babylon were very smart and like America in many ways.
    This quest to reach the heavens so to speak through technology and a.i. is not helping society.
    It has changed the social and moral fabric or our race. Look at the older generations who got along fine without this. Than look at the millennial generation. They are zombies glued to their phones. Why won't Steven Jobs let his kids use smartphones or Bill Gates?
    Are we really doing better or have we opened Pandora s box?

  5. Actually, pattern recognision IS the fundation of our inteligence… Not memory.
    Also, I am a bit unconfortable with the idea of any machine knowing everything I know AND being conected to everyone.

  6. Absolutely nothing new. Had a feeling that this guy even has not done any research before in order to understand that almost identical presentations happened at TED. But shame on TED with poor filtering on this topic. Time wasted……..

  7. yes… yes.. just imagine if every person you ever met was just as special as every single other person you have met or ever will meet. imagine if EVERYONE was superhuman and EVERYONE was perfect! its almost like you wouldnt need your humanity at all, the human experience could just be forgotten completely. no suffering, no embarrassment, no failure, no lack of experience at all. everyone could all be the same! maybe even from the day of birth. we just need to master memory implantation and removal.

  8. Lost my interest when he said he worked on Siri. Why would I listen to someone on the topic of AI who is involved in working on the worst "AI" in the world?

  9. Two problems just off the bat.

    1) AI's sharing my knowledge and memories is scary personal, scary invasive when we consider advertisers and worse government.

    2) The inception (iused intentionally) of foreign memories and concepts into a brain. If we can restore a set of memories to an alzehimer's patient, can we convince someone to genuinely think they're someone else? or make dissent from government literally unthinkable? Or be bombarded by impulses to buy product X?

    maybe we can educate a child is say 5 years but would you like them to come out with a standardized set of beliefs as well as a standardized knowledge set?

    Keep large organizations out of my head, thankyouverymuch. I'm sure I'll sound horse-and-buggy old fashioned in 50 years too…

  10. people should wake up, especially the young people, witness, realize your in a boom generation, something big is going to happen soon, not bad, but big, something amazing

  11. Look "Black Mirror" series. There are not always good things about technologies. In this speech, he always talk about good side of tech. What if we want to forget about something but actually we could not. What if we break up a good relationship cause of always remember bad happened things. I am not saying that there are always bad things in technology industry. Diagnosis Cancer, Self-Driving Car (e.g. Tesla) are so wonderful things.

    There are Good sides and Bad sides of technology.

  12. People united by common machines and algorithms. Supplemented, distributed, collective, enhanced.
    Together they experience, remember, process information, make decisions, and act.

    Pretty sure he's describing the Borg.
