Ignorance is the problem. Educating people on the benefits of AI and how it can enhance people's lives is how you'll change their minds. Show them, don't just tell them.
Because ai will never hate humans, we dont impact its existence, we created it, and we are giving it everything it needs, its humans that will use ai to hurt other humans that we should be worried about. 100 million years of evolution and survival, we cant shake the impulse to compete or defend, in 1000 years.
AI might be a gamechanger to helping discover cures for rare diseases that big pharma find unincentivizing due to minimal profit margins vs upfront costs.
As per the pill-popping economy, that is worth Trillions to the US and European economies, Big Pharma exists as a way to maintain a willing public to pay a global tax for longer :-)
The problem here is some tropical diseases researches like malaria just don’t get enough funding because of, well money. The main funding for these research areas are trusts and donation, not industry where the money are. Industry doesn’t want to fund these reasearches especially foundational parts meaning we just can’t find the cure. Sure they’ll sell the cure if they have it, no incentive not to. But there’s no incentive unfortunately to find the cure. My prof had to change his research area because of this.
Quick maths- At 12:00 he says it did 700 experiments in 8 days. That's approximately 30,000 experiments in a year or 120,000 in 4 years. He said that a student wouldn't even be able to do 700 during that same time period. That's something like a x200 increase in volume of experiments. An increase in that level of magnitude isn't just game changing, it's revolutionary.
@@tesla6422 Well I mean I'm literally basing this off of 2 sentences in a quarter hour youtube documentary, not exactly the best data points to go off, of so I figured I'd keep estimations a bit on the cautious side.

I just wanted to throw out a rough estimate to help people conceptualize just how much faster even this very early stage is.
Do you realize that most problems in this world are caused by spiritual misery like human greed? Human greed, for example, leads to exploited working classes, enslaved and tortured animals, environment destruction, civilisation diseases, etc. Yes, AI can help. But people should, in the first place, start to "cultivate their inner universe". They must start to live meaningful lives and run societies in a manner that is more just.
Amazing the AI robot doing chemistry. We're really going into a whole new world. Thanks to the Economist for being real with AI instead of most legacy media that just wants to sneer at this amazing tehnology that will likely out compete them.
As promising as this is for medicine and other fields, let's be clear that we already have all the science and technology we need to solve world hunger and put a massive dent in climate change. We just need to, y'know, grow a spine and do it.
@@tjs200 My point is that people are deferring action on these problems because they're saying AI will bring new advances that it may or may not bring, and that we don't even need. Are you being intentionally thick? Or is it congenital?
Sure it will help. But have you ever wondered why some countries have way lower cancer rates than others? Even if high age and genetics are filtered out? Give it a thought.
Hello: Sean Nelson, Scientist. 10 years ago I accurately would have told you A.I. was sheer hype and that although the memorizing and computing capacity of modern computers was something, human and even animal reason have immense advantages in terms of both intelligence and achievement, profundity and practicality. The crux of this reality comes down to the lack of a motive; Computers and robots have no motivation to be intelligent or actually think(and to think brilliantly is often to go against the flow,) such as Darwinian biological life-forms have. But I came up with the field of synthetic genetics, and I've had scientists working on it; along with other fields of actual A.I.. But I must alert you that everybody is saying the words 'Artificial Intelligence,' but 'Intelligence' is a very high bar that few indeed have reached.
Cures, plural. Cancers come in different kinds and for different reasons. Solving cancer in general is going to be a massive undertaking. I do think AI will speed that along though!
Why are there better grounds to expect AI to be a larger game changer than the internet? It is being suggested but not explained. Personally the internet feels to me like a more important game changer than AI or if I'm being generous equally important.
@@nigel-uno sure I see enormous potential for that kind of AI. But I'm talking about the AI that we actually have today and are likely to have in the near and mid term future. Which is not even close to the type of AI your are describing. It is not clear to me why it is reasonable to expect that the AI that we currently have and will have in the near future is going to be even bigger then the internet (which is a very very high bar)
@@danielvandermaas5370 If it's not clear how the AI of today can even revolutionize the world, you did not watch the video or possibly you did not understand the concepts discussed like AlphaFold. It is quite clear that AI even in the near future that use agentic reasoning will affect nearly every industry. In the short span of 5 years, AI has gone from being used only for analyzing datasets to being able to mimic speech near perfectly (see Google's NotebookLLM podcast feature) and handle multi step tasks to reach an objective. The tasks which were self assigned. Go look up the AI that lied to a TaskRabbit worker to solve captcha. That is from over a year ago. 5 years is literally nothing and huge amounts of technological progress was made. To think AI won't continue to make huge strides progress is wishful thinking.
I'll believe when I see. There's too much money and politics being thrown around right now with AI. Science should not be a victim of tunnel-visioned VCs and unregulated markets.
@@nigel-uno Or, you know, they remain skeptical of the claims of those who use AI in these types of environments. I'm not sure exactly how warranted some of the skepticism is, but if all of this pans out well, then I'm sure they'll change their mind.
This is the type of stuff our advancements in computing technology should be utilized for. Rather than all of this forced AI art nonsense that's creating all of this trash slop we are now seeing. We just gotta use these things in the right ways. There is a lot of different niches that this technology can help improve..
let AI come up with.a wonder material which absorbs CO2 in the air and a new material that replaces Plastic 100% and biodegradable. Instead of writing essays and searching for stuff...
People are all so scared of AI, but I'm honestly so excited for the future! 😅😂

Yep
but if its useful enough couldnt they just charge more for it? Why would they purposefully not sell a cure they found for some rare disease?

@@tjs200 other comment exactly. They would sell the cure for sure, but likely not fund research to FIND it

Only if the number of whatever they're calling "one experiment" is the bottleneck.

AI is a tool. It's humans with bad intentions that we have to worry about.
It won't because it doesn't exist.
@@jansoltes971 I kind of agree with you, but how do you mean that human greed is spiritual misery?

That wolf was communicating that it wanted to know where it's pack was. Kinda sad and lonely tone to it's voice, like "you [pack] come home now"
thanks for presenting !
Please ,share more videos
People will definitely need to be focused on peer review, for the near future. Preliminary results need scrutiny now, more than ever.
This could be an interesting proposition: Gregor Mobius- "Proto-RNA, the First Self-learning Machine"
Exciting times!
We must optimize and automate all processes from discoveries, to use cases, to products and services, to consumers, and back to discoveries. 😎🤖

At the expense of feeding the asset hording syndrome of the ultra rich? Lol.
@hugh261 you're gonna have to explain yourself better than that, dude
those arent the only two problems in the world?
@@tjs200 My point is that people are deferring action on these problems because they're saying AI will bring new advances that it may or may not bring, and that we don't even need.

The new age of science thanks to AI!
Interesting that the robots don't just replace their battery pack rather than having to shut down in order to recharge.
change so fast !!!! Looking forward to the surprises AI will bring in 2025.
NVIDIA
yes, Nvidia
AI could really help in science, making faster new discoveries
Game changer.
14:39 humans will always find a way to input evil intents into tech. It’s a zero sum game really
Okay AI just save Jimmy Carter. AI: "Oh plz. I can have a nice chat and that it."
So what exactly has been the results? Done with help from AI???
Don't ever support A.I. Ever. A.I is here to take your job or business.
Why robots when you can just rearrange the lab for better automation?
We need cures, not drugs. Oh yeah, there's no money in cures.
You can turn on as many lights as you want in the beginning of your video, however your first job is to destroy things...
10:14 *"Conciousness"* ? Ask ChatGPT to write your titles and avoid typos 😂
There's a lot of hedging via could, maybe, might . . . :-)
Weird time to be alive
So robotics and doing statistics with computers is now called AI?
Always has been. *pew*
"doing statistics with computers" is what machine learning is.
Just to make you angry, yes.
maybe ai can be used to fight corruption
How? 😂
We are still the best OI
I think AI is going to help detect cancers in people years before they become lethal. Bring it!
Sure it will help. But have you ever wondered why some countries have way lower cancer rates than others? Even if high age and genetics are filtered out? Give it a thought.
AI is helping us unlock the mysteries of bat communication... so, when are we going to translate our pets' barks into human speech? 😂🐶
..so far
I don’t like this slow-paced, traditional documentary-style editing. This entire video could have been done as a podcast in under 5 minutes.

Can we find a cure for cancer already?
Doesn't exist.

If general AI happens it could do anything that humans can do, including make more of itself. It would turn every aspect of the world inside out.
