1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: The future is here, ladies and gentlemen. AI is taking over.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: There's a team of robots kept alive in some giant

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: warehouse with tons of electricity right now, whirring away, beavering

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: away on the world's big problems. AI will soon be

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: marking our students' exams, according to Erica Stanford, the Swedish

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Prime Minister overnight, admitting he uses AI for a second

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: opinion on running the country on a daily basis. AI

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: architects are in high demand. They've been snapped up like hotcakes. Yesterday,

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Meta apparently offered an AI researcher two hundred and fifty

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: million US dollars over four years. AI engineers are apparently

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: paid upwards of two and a half million bucks a year.

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: The big tech companies are investing billions. The efficiencies are real.

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: AI is changing the world, one data center at a time.

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: So the question for us what do we do about it.

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Some of the teachers are upset because they don't trust

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: AI to mark exams, but really we shouldn't trust the teachers.

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: According to the Ministry of Education, and I've got no

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: reason to disbelieve this AI is at least as good as,

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: if not better than teachers at getting stuff right awkward.

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: There's some stuff so nuanced you will probably need humanized

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: to be across it. But that would be the exception,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: surely in marking NCAA exams, not the rule. As for

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: the Swedish Prime minister, he's copying flak for not being

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: able to do his job without the help of a robot.

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: But you still need to use judgment, don't you. You

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: can't just punch into AI. Should I go to war

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow and then blindly follow The answer? Is AI not

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: the mental equivalent of a forklift at AOL, a machine

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: doing the heavy lifting for our brains. We don't have

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: problems with forklifts, do we. They're helpful, they're useful. The

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 1: reality is it doesn't actually matter how we feel about

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: AI and the moraled one thousand moral dilemmas that throws

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: up like mobile phones, like the internet, smartphones and then

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: social media. It's one of these phenomenon that takes over

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: our lives, whether we like it or not. The best

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: we can probably do is just get used to it

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and get over it. For more from early edition with
