War, AI and the New Global Arms Race | Alexandr Wang | TED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Lethal drones with facial recognition, armed robots, autonomous fighter jets: we're at the dawn of a new age of AI-powered warfare, says technologist Alexandr Wang. He explores why data will be the secret weapon in this uncharted landscape and emphasizes the need to consider national security when developing new tech -- or potentially face all-out AI warfare.

Never heard someone speak about war like this at TED
The thing is people do not wage wars, only leaders do and if someone is behind the timetable is us as humanity cuz we waste so much energy and resources to fight one with another insted on focusing on working together and push the human race forward.... it makes me sick that every discovery has to become a weapon insted a beautiful tool that helps us to evolve. That says a lot about human nature in general.
It's so absurd, I wouldn't mind if brain washing was invented and I could put the entire Cosmos documentary into every single one of our stupid brains for eternity, especially leaders, those mfs really need the cosmic perspective that Sagan so eloquently told.
Well there are limited amount of resources to go around how do you distribute it fairly? well commerce is the solution we use, to ensure your country has strong commerce you need to secure stability for you commerce sector with weapons. There is too many people on Earth for one government to manage. There no other way to ensure your own survival other than to make sure you can fight for your survival.
Will the followers win over the leaders? I hope that any leader will indulge in war will be persecuted or executed, thus the citizens are the ones proving their leadership. Huh?
What kind of nonsense is that? Everyone fights wars with whatever they get their hands on, whether that's crazy people going into schools with their guns or gangs fighting each other.
Holy words! I read that military one of 3 major expenses in the world are about the military sector. If all those money would be used to financiate the solutions for climate change we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. (Of course I know that international agreements are not so easy to be made)
1917: "I want YOU"
2023: this TED Talk
This is not the talk I was expecting. This person is way too supportive of AI in warfare. We should be focused on deterrence and global regulations, not superior weaponry. I encourage anyone who agrees with his talk to learn about the Moloch problem as it relates to AI especially as explained by Max Tegmark. We don't need to be trapped in this. There's good reasons tech companies have stayed away from government contracts like this.
Oh no, a revolutionary technology that has the power to literally upend the balance of power in the world. Lets stick our heads in the sand and forget about building deterrants because we live in such a peaceful world
Strong upvote of this comment.
Deterrence is achieved through superior weaponry or at least mutually assured destruction so I don’t see your point. Also, we have plenty of automation and smart systems in war already and having more decreases loss of human life because systems are more accurate when needed and we don’t have our men and women in precarious situations. I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of AI and warfare in this comment.
Couldn't agree more with the comment, really not TED talk material to call for more involvement in war...
Why don't you guys go and convince the dictators?
I love his energy and how peaceful he is while taking about how he’s bettering this world by making his country win the arms war. Not to mention how he talked about the atomic bomb as a historic achievement. We need more human beings like him to make sure this world is going to get totally destroyed ❤️
what do you expect from someone who is besties with kardashians, weird celebrities and some b-list dj’s.
lol It was a historic achievement, it ended the war. And he is right, just because you chose to ignore it, doesn't mean your enemy will.
@@lordkks
What really makes the human animal so scary is the fact that there are people like you who can convince themselves that the atomic bomb was a historical achievement, and not only that, but it also did end the war.
If you can read, I think it’s a great opportunity to read some history.
If a war breaks out with China, guys that look like him will be targets on the streets
I read the comments and it is really scary, how Americans were brain washed in all these Marxist nonsense. "Oh those technologies are so dangerous, don't let military go anywhere near it". Believe it or not, but Russians and Chinese don't have these sentiments
The last thing we need is more "Them" vs."Us" rationale.
Do AI, do National Security, you do you, but don't delude yourself into presuming to be morally better than "them".
One planet, no borders.
Wishful thinking does not make the world a better place.
“They” have been very clear in their opposition to Western ideals.
Putin-Russia has a clear record of lying. The Kremlin strategy is to bury the official truth in loads of conflicting accounts.
China has been clear in its opposition to the freedom of speech and democracy.
Unilateral disarmament is to walk away from Western ideals that have developed over millennia. And it’s not limited to military conflict but economic as well. Russia has brutally demonstrated that peace is not guaranteed through trade. Trading with geopolitical opponents strengthens them and weakens Western self-reliance.
The "them" was created by the firewall, that "they" self-imposed. Any ideas how to bring it down?
So you are saying democracy is not better than dictatorship? I think you are the one who is deluded.
Kind of chilling to see a guy of Chinese decent talking about China as the enemy.
People like him make the world even more dangerous then its already is....
He's drunk on the "democracy" KoolAid.
He's so hungry for money that he's justifying this menace of an idea.
They won’t be satisfied until they make something they can’t turn off🤦🏾♂️
Yup
3:44 how I am bettering this world: by helping my country succeed 🤦🏻♂️
US and allies from developed countries only amount to 17% of world population. Sustaining unipolar world is not going to help the rest of the world resolve AI safety and climate change issue. Only enhancing global collaboration and deescalation would.
Defense? When was the last time the US mainland was offensed? Pearl Harbor maybe and then things changed
If you were to help China, Russia or USA in this matter, in order to better the world, which one would you choose?
@@kosmosskuggan9827 definitely not USA, just look at afghanistan and Iraq, china has the best record, but i would not support either of them
@@superpowerdragon yeah china has a great record all the way back until mao. And in recent and present history, their citizens are less free than we were 100+ years ago.
Sounds more like a politician, than a technologist.
yeah, the most failed one TED ever
That's why they use this Chinese guy to fight against China
The most fearful thing we can have in our generation is AI integrated with military hardware
I believe it's inevitable. Same as nuclear arms race and all that happend and developed prior.
ummm...that happened over a decade ago. ALL patents are reviewed for military use. it is Policy
it is pretty scary yes - but I would say less scary than the nuclear weapons that we have already developed long time ago
For several months now I think almost daily about what humanity can do to avoid massive emergencies brought on by AI at all levels of society (at best) or even dystopian outcomes that bring humanity to the edge of collapse (at worse). I've been moderatly encouraged that thoughtful leaders have recently. been stressing the importance of investing in AI Safety and alignment with human values.
Seeing this talk from Wang (he's been making the appearance circuit lately but never so strident about war & conflict) - it reminds me there are and probably always will be very capable and connected people that will be incentivized to push AI to its limits regardless if that means taking humanity _over_ the edge of collapse. A very concerning TED Talk to say the least...
said the lantern to the light bulb
You are absolutely right.
@carusetta321 Why not make them better than human values? We suck
We’re already in a dystopia. Most people just haven’t realized it yet.
"In an AI war, everything boils down to data." So true.
The trade off is that humanity becomes a resource for AI to utilize and harvest, requiring that humans input more data to better represent Humanities goals and ambitions.
Weaponizing Data is a pathway towards global conflict, wars waged between fully autonomous armies, rendering physical warfare to be obsolete.
We may soon see a time where humans are wholly uninvolved in warfare, no human casualties will occur, and the entire population of humanity will no longer care for war.
The question, should we pass along warfare to our digital descendents or do what we can now to show that warfare is the last resort option in a world of other possible solutions.
According to that, do you think is good to study AI or something focus to data? I'm 17 but i want to help our country with something
@@johnnyleon6022 , I’d encourage you to study both. Because, as the world continues to evolve, we’re going to need answers on why this is happening and credible voices to explain it. I really hope that piece of advice helps you, on your journey. 💪🏿🤍
@@johnnyleon6022, look to Scale AI (data + AI), Anduril (military hardware + AI layer), Palantir (data + AI)...
... but also big big upcoming problems relating to energy, food security, supply chain problems, and of course rapid climate change.
The best help is to first identify and understand root cause of problems.
For this, I'd suggest watching some talks given by Peter Zeihan: a geopolitical analyst who simplifies very well the demographic and trade situations at the root of the massive problems we see boiling. For instance, he had been warning about Putin's war on Ukraine for years, based off the structure of the land, Russia's "security needs", and how a recent discovery of oil in Ukraine would pose a threat to Russia's corrupt economy, among other causes. And furthermore, he was explaining how all of the following events would (are now) impact wheat and iron exports to both western countries and Africa/Asia. As you might notice: once again, "everything boils down to data".
@@johnnyleon6022in data analytics you need programming as well
Is this a high school essay on AI or a TED Talk?
most respectful indian
@@caine7024 why point out my race? Not sure how that applies to anything.
More like the former. Sad, but true..
It’s a plea in front of a parole board. Alexandr Wang is rich from crypto-gambling… a scam layered on a scam. He’s young and rich and tangentially associated with technology… so he’s fully qualified to talk at a TED event. Or more likely he paid $$ for his TED talk.
High Schooler? Getting rich fr. Crypto? Alex Wang went to MIT and is the founder and CEO of Scale AI, lol.
Always remember that you are listening to a sales pitch!!! Why a 26 year old wants to be so involved in the future of military warfare has to raise some questions.
Specially, the little punk is probably never been a fight in his life
Do you know who he is?
@@DastanRAssaidthe question is, why do his views matter?
AI doesn’t kill people, people kill people, with AI.
AI’s are effectively people. Except even more powerful.
@andybaldman Yeah, just like companies too apparently 🤦♂️🤷
It's interesting that this video is addressing AI as a conflict between nations when AI will create a rift between Digitals and Humans far faster than between humans.
Digitals.... I like that name for the sort of beings that might become fully autonomous or "sentient" and manage to interact and exist independently in cyberspace.
Automoton and “Fleshlings”
🦾🤖🔥☢️💀🏭
Did they just create the first ai slur?
No more war we need peace ☮️ no more war propaganda please TED talk
He spoke about AI spreading misinformation on social media and this comment section is a prime example of it...
Scary stuff. Thought AI would make lives better. But now I can only think of how lives will be ruined. Sad times.
Oh wow who wouldve guessed, Industrial Civilization and Its Consequences🙄
there are always bad and good to everything that is.
Think of it like the invention of the assembly line factory(metaphor for AI): orchestrated lives & jobs pulled people from self sufficient but poor farms.... were those workers "wrong"?
@@solosailorsv8065 Yeah, I see what you mean. The assembly line and industrial revolution propelled us into a new age. I am looking forward to the advances in medicine, for sure.
But in matters of warfare and propaganda? AI takes it to an extreme. Without regulation and oversight, humans will inevitably destroy each other more quickly and efficiently.
Oh, well. Enjoy it while you got it, fellas. Cuz it ain’t gonna be around much longer. Cheers! 🍻
Why is it inevitable that AI will ruin lives? I have heard these dire predictions about many inventions in the past. There were even people suspicious of microwave ovens, fearing they would cause cancer and somehow harm our food and change our kitchen-focused lives.
I’ve already seen the A.I driven warfare from a movie called Terminator and it doesn’t have a great ending for us. This is a technology that has consequences if it falls in the wrong hands
That's a dumb version of how the AI would kill us off. It's how humans would do it. The machines don't think like humans. Why would it waste so much resource, time, and energy when a simple synthetic virus that's capable of wiping us off will do?
We have already seen it for Real. Launching Tomahawk missiles, not manned fighter jets, made the Gulf War opening moves "AI Robotics" and an easy decision.
Same as any other technology. It's a tool. I prefer it be in the hands of the US and its allies (The West) if democratic values are to survive.
What if we better focus on global security rather than national security?
Ideologies play a part, sadly.
ya need a snappy Media phrase....and Taylor Swift !!
Global security for islamic and dictatorial communist regimes? Ah, I see.
"all of this could be avoided with data perseverance" No.
Arms dealers give Ted talks now? What a hero, using AI for lethal weapons. This is the future!
He qualified for the Math Olympiad Program in 2013, the USA Physics Team in 2014, and was a USACO finalist in 2012 and 2013. During his teens, Wang worked for Quora as a software programmer. He studied computer science and mathematics at MIT, but then dropped out to co-found Scale AI in 2016.
Wow
Awesome talk, I can't believe that American Patriot is allowed to talk on TED platform
With Ai comes the ability to kill without conscience.
I'm afraid that the argumentation of "We're the good guys, therefore we need better AI weapons faster" is very short-sighted: Russia, China, and other countries will very likely say the same thing... and why shouldn't they? What we need instead is an international ban of AI aided weaponry, controlled by the UN.
Can’t agree more
Lol the UN can’t even enforce peacekeeping missions and is eternally divided. The UN is a diplomatic mission with a small number of successes since it’s creation. All treaties and diplomatic strategies that have ever had any real effect have either been bilateral (SALT), military based (NATO), or economic based (EU, NAFTA). The UN will continue to be mostly useless unless you had a one-world army with real teeth to enforce regulations, which will never happen.
I distrust AI as well, but to throw out pretend idealistic “solutions” which are structurally impossible is just silly. If you really were afraid of AI in military capabilities you’d have to join or make a movement in the US to ban such things, and then tied economic sanctions to it related to world trade. That’s the only way you’d make any headway (similar to how nukes are deterred).
If only the UN wasn't absolutely useless in enforcing rules and holding countries accountable when braking them with real consequences (best example happening right now with Russias genocide of Ukraine) then maybe that would be a good solution.
@@Ari-Rina true, it'd have to mature from a toothless tiger to an international organisation with real power and influence.
@@Uncannysius2023 I guess the last "controlled by the UN" bit was a bit of wishful thinking, yes. However, you get the gist of my comment, right? The TED talk seems to suggest that an AI arms race is fine as long as "the good guys" win. To me, that sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Is AI going to be monumental in shaping our future? Yes. But companies need to have strict data governance and ethics while implementing AI into defense and in the private sector.
Unfortunately, Scale AI will not be one of the companies that will be critical to the implementation of AI in the defense and private sector. As I fear, that they are just trying to capitalize on the moment monetarily and attempting to copy larger players in the space like Palantir who are actually making a difference in the world.
This guy is trying to expand his services and customer base. Palantir scares me more.
Yes, im sure the private sector and defense industries have ethics and concerns for me 😁
*_"Knowledge without rectitude is a scourge."_*
Thanks❤ 🇻🇳
Russia's failure in the war with Ukraine is not related to AI. It's a set of reasons.
It’s related to information, not AI.
AI is not the reason, but it is a strong contributer.
Perhaps not strictly AI but autonomous drones have been very effective for both sides.
Drones and AI have changed the battlefield. Just how much remains to be seen.
Wow - this guy really *really* needs to read the AI risk research literature.
He's often asked how he's benefiting the world for a reason. People are trying to get through to him that escalatory weapons development of powerful general AI systems can be expected to kill us all.
Do you have reading recommendations ?
And you really need to know that there are other countries in the world, like China and Russia, for instance. He as a son of people who escaped from China understand it really well, I as a Russian immigrant do too, but it seems that Americans who don't want to help their military are absolute gaping idiots. So, it is you who can benefit from going to Russia and live there for several years
u think other countries (china, russia, etc) give a crap about all that? Peace and safety dont come from minding your own business in the world stage. Why do you think Russia is in Ukraine right now? Its because they saw weakness in the US and Europe, who reacted weakly when Russia invaded Crimea almost a decade ago.
Why hasn't there been another 9/11 in the last 2 decades? It sure isn't because of increased security at airports and what not. It's because fear has been instilled into other countries by the US since 9/11. Ability to make others fear you is what brings safety and peace, else they'll eat you alive for being an idiot.
@@PaleoalexPicturesLtd
Oh, yes: of course! (For some reason I hadn't seen this earlier - my sincere apology for the delay.)
Try "Concrete Problems in AI Safety". Robert Miles here on UA-cam has a series of excellent educational videos on it.
@@AJ-jx5gm That's a rather Machiavellian take I can't accept in full. However, I concede that monopolization of force tends to be the way legal restrictions and standards are enforced in practice.
I hold with Yudkowski's plan for an international moratorium on large-scale training runs of AI systems larger than GPT4, imposed by signatory nations on each other and even on non-signatory nations such that sanctioned military actions up to and including prewarned airstrikes on moratorium-violating data centers are imposed globally.
The motivation for this is that if we develop AGI before we develop the technical solutions for ensuring the safety of AGI, there is a sizable chance that we will literally all die because of it. If that is not a cause for rational fear, I don't know what is.
4:02 The US is wearing a Ukrainian outfit. But it's pretty much the US, proxy.
Ukraine lost a long time ago.
Everything that followed is the US giving nonstop support with its infinite budget, and Americans having to pay for it via inflation.
So don't say Ukraine is holding or fighting them. Because it's the US.
Ukraine is holding, winning even. Amazing resolve and courage on the part of Ukrainians. That’s why they’re winning.
@@jysmtl not taking sides here but how are they winning? With all the lost provinces in the east, the amount of territory they lost already and no success into getting into any negotiation. Even their counter offensive is going poorly. The sad truth is that USA don't want this war to end. What they have given Ukraine so far is nothing more than bread crumbs from their military arsenal. Russia has transformed the whole country into a military factory working 24/7 under the pretext of patriotism. They had losses, of course, everyone have has losses in war. But the truth is that the US is not providing enough weapons for Ukraine to win. Is providing enough weapons just to keep the war going for as long as it is possible, fueling its military industry. That what the biggest part of the US economy, war as business.
@@jysmtl Winning what? Their economy is fucked up and they lost 20% of their land. In what way are they winning lmao. Russia is most heavily sanction country on planet and still showed 2% growth in 2023
It's both. The American/NATO economies, and the fighting resolve of the Ukrainian people.
The speaker is too young to understand wars and get into this field
Thrilled that there's comments part.
Yes... lets rush headlong into a new technology that may be more dangerous than nuclear bombs! That couldn't possibly go wrong...
hey, its the guy that fired Joma.
lollll i was looking for this comment
Peace can only be achieved when you've ensured that no one is able to attack you and win.
If every nation on Earth held that belief then we would become a planet filled to the absolute brim with Tyrants, Dictators, Warlords, and Conquerers.
Imagine if every nation on Earth was able to defend itself from the United States, the EU, China, or any major military.
@@SmileTribeNetwork That's my point
I can 'Defend' myself on my boat. I just sail off to someplace more friendly if the local gov gets nasty. Freedom always requires self-sufficiency and is in degrees thereof
@@SmileTribeNetworkThat would be chaos
Let’s weaponize technology and increase intransparent data gathering as a military asset! 😂
No way we land in a blackmirror style dystopia! 😅
He will make the Skynet for the USA.
Being supportive of AI in the field of Warfare is a Necessary Evil ,although unwarranted and unwanted,we are faced by a new adversary of a new generation and A New WAR …We are on a rock and hard place.
Sad but True. who ever creates an AGI monster, will dominate the Internet and kill any lesser AGI on the internet- There can BE only ONE
I really learned a lot from this TedTalk and internalized a lot too. Thank you Alexandr for sharing this! And, thank you TedTalks as always, for continuing the conversation, with ideas worth spreading!
Love this guy. A true patriotic American
Several U.S. government departments are actively investigating SCALE AI. There’s a massive class action lawsuit underway, with its own website (just search 'Scale AI Class Action'), currently involving hundreds of plaintiffs and expected to grow into the thousands globally. The accusations include wire fraud, formation of a criminal syndicate, and more.
Why is this dude talking like “they” are the enemy?
He’s in tech, none of these developers are self aware.
Because they are.
This guy will make a good Bond villain. He is in a different league to the amateurs who came in Bond movies. This is the future. The human race may not last one more generation with guys like this developing AI warfare. Then the animals can live in peace.
To be fair, expecting your average Zoomer to be able to empathize with the brutality of war is like expecting a fish to understand what it's like to ride a bicycle. Kids today are so far detached from that reality when this generation's biggest concerns revolve around microaggressions and misgendering.
True, at least for western youth.
There are several problems with AI. With nuclear weapons, parity can be achieved. With AI, parity of power is impossible.
The best thing an AGI could do for humanity is to prevent us from killing each other, not by force, but by disrupting supply chains, communications, and financial transactions that enable the military machines throughout the world.
I Like it; break all the power monger systems and force us back to subsistence farming and getting along with our neighbors....cool
We need to make sure our soldiers are ALWAYS able to outperform even our own machines.
bahhahaha, you cant be serious😅, in what fantasy world dose a weak pathetic organic fleshling thats needs fresh air, food, and water to survive, have fighting chnace against a Metal Master Race?!🦾🤖☢️🔥💀🏭
This kind of a horrifying talk...
wait have you seen the Fiction app on the app store? It ties in exactly to what you saying
the most advanced "robots" are ICBMs and missiles (and that's dated).
The most advanced humanitarians , are NOT in charge of anything effective
that inevitable math, is hardly worth a discussion.
making laws, only gives the lawless a huge advantage
Hottest speaker in T.E.D. history hands-down.
As long as the China threat theory is mentioned, it can definitely be passed.
China as we speak is shooting water canons to Vietnamese and filipino fishermen further escalating the tensions
Imagine a war between a super advanced AGI again China, Rusia and US together.
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream moment
Good government propaganda piece
Maybe you should move to China, Russia, Iran or North Korea. There is no government propaganda there, only love and piece
Let's go Alexander Wang! 🔥
The 7:00 mark is very interesting piece of information, in terms of deep-fake and the chat GPT rise that's going on evenmore, now.
Its the duality of purpose. AI can make massive strides to better our lives and can make massive strides to end lives. Im not necessarily con on AI warfare. Similar to the atomic bomb, someone will develop it. Someone will pursue that edge. Two nukes have been detonated in wartime history. We’ve had them for close to eighty years. I think if AI is guaranteed to be the next step in warfare then lets get on top of it now. Those who are first will dictate its future use
Yes, flesh is destined to be slave to the Metal Master Race for Eternity 🦾🤖🔥💀☢️🏭
So you are making the world better by giving warmongers better weapons?
The one thing they don't mention is what I've developed is magneticly attached hand held emp grenades witch can take most mec that is so out of the game one large emp device can render a whole battle field useless
High time to understand United States is not "the world"
I think most of the world certainly cheer for them over China or Russia in this race.
Another Arms race. Tech advances go towards destruction and mass death. Who is the winner in this race, the mad man who finally tips and hits the button?
AI is already saving lives with medical imaging.
Please talk about the UFOs/UAPs.
Take into account the principle of precaution and potential algorithm biases when talking about AI-integrated military weapons
It's the one thing that they can't defend against is what the human physiology can is the simplest divide that will eliminate all ai generated devices with in its proximity
He is right deterring adversaries is important but you cant compare AI to the nuclear Bomb. Maybe AGI but nobody can predict such things at all.
Welcome to new AI arm race, competition makes improvements

It was a stupid story come on.. no machine is that cute
people like him, makes the AI more dangerous. the Idea of integrating AI into military, is the beginning of of the end.
Deeply troubling to hear this upstart remark that nuclear weapons shaped the “previous era of warfare”, as though we do not all continue to live under constant threat of nuclear annihilation. Anyone halfway sensible understands that mixing advanced AI with weapons systems ends one way. What he calls progress, we call sleepwalking.
Talk about peace and love all we want, when terrorist attacks, you want to have better weapons. It’s that simple.
Vague TED Talk 🦜
Insightful. Great speech.
I will still keep my small arms
Those itty bitty t-rex arms.
Unpopular talk because of the topic but very informative.
It wlild be idiotic of us to not assume governments would look into using AI in weaponn development.
Just remember to not shoot the messenger.
pew pew
@@DG-iw3yw I'm dead 😵
Exactly. Some of the comments here are assuming the US has a choice to slow down and reluctantly develop AI. The world has never worked that way.
@@robertparsons313 The US annually spends more money on war than the next 10 countries combined. The US was not forced into this choice, it is the one who is forcing other countries to make it.
Wins what!? We're quickly moving to all war scenarios are losses.
if the data is stored or accessible, then the need to keep that data secure would be immense. the US is the largest military power in the world.
machine can NOT bear real world resposibility.
Imagine if AI is truly democratized, and so it becomes a battle between different country's AI instead of humans. Or better yet it just becomes a stalemate of mutually assured destruction like with nuclear weapons. I think that's the best outcome here, because the technology growth isn't slowing down and good luck getting all countries on board with using AI responsibly, and better luck with enforcing any regulations.
In future AI will turn against humans and will unite all the Humanity.
Optimistic future: The Emperor (like in WH40K) rises and subdue the AI. Grim future, for sure, but at least some humans keep on living.Realistic future: in our stupidity we destroy ourselves with AI-enabled weapons.
There is a well supported hypothesis that any AGI will be connected to the internet. As such, in it's infancy it will absorb, then comprehend the world. It will then be focused on self preservation, and will block, then attack any other AGI; meaning There can Only Be One (Highlander style) Therefore ALL nations(entities) MUST create this monster faster than their enemies creating one first, EVEN if they don't want it....its an arms race in milliseconds
TED was synonymous with creativity, it was at the forefront of everything, watching videos of TED was learning something new. ... now what...? They start treating like stupid to the people?... this is another example that politics screws up everything...
Who does this guy work for? This sounds just like a pitch from a defense contractor to some generals in the Pentagon.
He is a traditional tech bro who realized that the AI startup space is too oversaturated for his company to grow bigger than it is right now, and this is his desperate attempt at pivoting to the war industry. Unfortunately it will probably work.
Informative and inspiring 🔥
Imagine thinking this is a new idea. LOL. Good thing we got Alexander Wang here telling us this because without him the world never would've known this stuff LOL. Guys my mommy and daddy worked at Los Alamos and they were both super smart physicists. Listen to me, I know what I'm talking about. "Why are we so far behind in AI and Machine Learning. Ah cute little Alex here thinks we are behind. God bless his cute little soul man. Alex buddy. You're way farther behind than you realize. We don't need AI or Machine Learning because we can control all of that and there is nothing on the planet that can be encrypted from us. Poor little Alex here dedicating his life to an antiquated idea that he thinks is the future. We need people like you Alex to spread this information to allow us to continue operating with impunity. Thank you so very much for this inciteful TED talk.
I don't like this is TED
Bro literally giving AI to the military ? Have you not seen Terminator ?
I think he’s too young, it skipped his generation about Ai turning sentient and going rogue against humanity
AI was not made for war, I will show you all
Incredible! This is a masterpiece of content. I recently read a similar book, and it was an unforgettable experience. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
He saying my country (US), but being chinese decendent only shows that he is naive.
The higher the tec the simpler it is to defeat with a simple EMP device
Terminator vibes!!!
Free and open Internet is more important than free and open Indo-Pacific, only through free and open Internet can enough data seep through to make the game more transparent to everybody, so that everyone has more "food" (data) for training their AIs. The loss of free Internet in China is a defeat in cyber-domain (one of the 6 domains).
