WEBVTT - Demystifying AI for Our Community 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.080 It is an interesting time these days around AI. Over 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:08.680 the weekend, the board of directors for the nonprofit Open Ai, 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.240 which developed and operates chat gpt, which is super duper 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.680 popular I use it a lot, they abruptly fired the 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:22.160 co founder and now previous CEO, Sam Aldman. So they 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.880 did this in like like thirty minutes before the markets 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.720 closed on Friday, which that kind of thing only happens 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.720 in the rarest and most inflammatory circumstances because it's such 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.000 a market shifting move to do that right before the 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.280 markets closed, especially on a Friday. So this is big 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:45.800 news in AI as chat gpt has the fastest growing 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.519 user base for consumer app in history. They did one 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.320 hundred million users in two months. Now, to give you 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.279 some perspective, it took Facebook like four years to hit 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.840 one hundred million users. It took Twitter five years to 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.080 get one hundred million users. I think it took ig 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:11.040 Instagram of like two years. Open ais chat gpt did 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.880 it in two months, and almost as fast as they 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:21.240 blew up their incredible valuation, they blew up their incredible valuation. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.560 So it went from look, they went from looking at 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.120 like a ninety billion dollar valuation to uncertainty in the 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.240 matter of hours and days since the board gave Sam 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.800 the boot. In April this year, the company was valued 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.199 at twenty nine billion dollars, and just a week ago 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.000 they were looking at a ninety billion dollar valuation raising 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.600 money at a ninety billion dollar valuation. From April's twenty 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.440 nine billion dollar valuation, they were on track to do 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.320 a billion dollars in revenue, which shows you how fast 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.480 chat gpt was growing and with the future looked like 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.040 for them. If you recall chat GPT, it was just 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.680 legit like launched ten months ago, eleven months ago, So 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:13.920 this is incredible growth such that AI is just about 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.240 all anybody is talking about these days, whether they're building it, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.000 they're trying to fund it, they are starting an AI 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.920 focused startup, or they're afraid of it altogether. AI is 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.639 on many of our minds. At the time this recording, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.080 a lot has happened. Sam was out at Open Ai 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.519 as CEO. This was just Friday. Then the employees and 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.760 investors revolted because the way people believed in Sam obviously 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.600 was a surprise to the board, so there were attempts 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.160 to bring him back over the weekend. Then that didn't 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.040 work out. Then today Microsoft says they're bringing him over 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:59.120 there to run some AI projects, and undoubtedly many necessary, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.240 highly talented open ai employees who were on his team 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.320 will follow him in the Microsoft. So who knows what 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.400 will happen an hour after I published this episode, because 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.520 this is all happening so fast. Everything I just mentioned 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.760 happened in like the span of forty eight to seventy 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.639 two hours. This thing. Usually things like this play out 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:21.360 over weeks. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:22.600 Now. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.920 The reason I kick off this episode with this news 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.800 is because it's that significant. Because we all, if I mean, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.840 if you've embraced at some level AI and you have 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.880 tried chat GPT at least once, there's no way you're 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.400 not hooked. It's so good at figuring out how to 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.360 say things in the way you want to say it, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.120 by just you giving it some simple commands. And so 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.120 I wanted to start this episode off just to point 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.600 to make a point that things are moving so quickly 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.760 in our society. This is a rallying call, a rallying 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.880 to you, my black tech, green money family, to be 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.080 bout it. Nobody asked permission, Certainly the board that open 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.480 Ai didn't do a poll of their employees and investors 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.800 to see if kicking out the founder and CEO will 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:18.520 be acceptable. They just bust a move. So we're living 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.560 in the days where people who beg forgiveness versus ask 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.599 permission are going to be in a position to succeed. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.320 If you're waiting for your work situation to get right, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.920 or your kids to graduate, or the weather to warm 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.279 up in the sun to be out again before you 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.880 start making your moves, you'll be at a disadvantage. Things 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.039 that used to take months are happening now in hours. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.240 So I want to bring you a conversation from afro 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:52.240 tech executive in Seattle between Jessica Matthews Jessica Old Matthews, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.120 who's CEO and founder of Uncharted, and Johnny Bradley, who 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:02.040 was the responsible AI official for the Department of Energy 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.840 and senior program manager for the Artificial Intelligence and Technology Office. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:13.039 Because this conversation they're having is about demystifying AI for 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.680 our community. So I hope you get something from this. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.919 Follow along, find your way to not necessarily you have 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.080 to go build an AI startup, but find your way 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.839 to use it, leverage it to do what you want 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.880 to do, and do what you're doing even better, more efficiently, faster, cheaper, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.680 and with a greater punch. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:42.920 Okay, hello everyone, how are you? Yeah? Yeah, yes, yeah, okay, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.080 So let's get into it, right, yeah, all right. So 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.880 you know I love soccer and you made socket. So 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.520 I just have to start this conversation off by asking 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:57.560 one question, why did you go from hardware to data solutions? 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.560 So we have to go real deep into like the 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.880 technical stuff, but for hi, everybody, Hello, Hello, Hello, thank you. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:12.600 Will Will's dope just consistent. Ask dude, man, how much 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:13.640 cursing is allowed? 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.000 Right? 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.599 That's always what I like to check. I tend to 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:24.120 check after my first one fuck falls out. So listen, y'all. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.240 I flew here from Harlem and I was like here, like, 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.360 where does Morgan have me flying to you? Now? That's 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.000 what I thought was on that plane. I was like, 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.080 oh damn Seattle, Seattle, okay. And I was walking down 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.599 the street and I was like, where all the black people? 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:37.000 Right? 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:45.480 And then but then you're here, Hello, hello, gathered them off? No, no, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.000 So say, you know, it's a good question. So, uh, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.200 what Jonie's talk about here is that I started my 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:57.200 career making energy generating play products. So when I was 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.599 nineteen years old, I invented an energy generator eating soccer 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.320 ball that could harness the energy from play, the kinetic energy, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.159 and store that power inside of the ball. Yeah, it 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.480 was pretty cool. You could play with it, you could roll, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.000 you know, as it rolled, it was generating energy, and 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.320 about an hour of play would give you three hours 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:21.440 of light. Fast forward. Now I'm thirty five. I don't 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:28.880 have problem saying it because, like, you know, me, black guys, good, right, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:35.600 what I'm saying? So, and and I run a data 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:42.320 infrastructure company that uses AI to help disadvantaged communities develop 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.800 sustainable infrastructure with more equity and efficiency than ever before. Right, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.640 So how did I get from there to here? Well, 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.000 one thing is that my true north was always incredibly 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:04.400 clear to me. I'm a dual citizen of Nigeria and States. Always, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.520 even in Seattle, where I'm being so messed up. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.360 Yeah, yeah. 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.240 The only thing I know about Seattle's Nirvana. Right, So, 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.320 so I like, and I love Nirvana. So I was like, sheah, 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.560 I wear my flannel. My mom was like oh s 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:29.080 ohse glenno. So so for me, you know, it was 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.680 going back and forth between Nigeria and the United States, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.480 whether it's for weddings or funerals, and just recognizing that 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.360 there were some things that were so dope, like everybody 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:43.160 had a mobile phone. It became ubiquitous very quickly. Oftentimes 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.320 my cousins had a better cell phone than I did. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.439 But also wondering like why is it that it doesn't 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.400 matter if we're in the village or if we're in 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.320 like the bustling city of Legos that were losing power 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:59.520 every single day. And I knew it wasn't because like 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.960 there were with the technologies that needed to exist to 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.640 make that happen. I knew it was an infrastructural issue immediately. 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:10.840 In fact, oftentimes in places like Nigeria, people are paying 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.120 more per kilowatt hour than we pay here in the 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.000 United States. I don't know if that's true anymore, because 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.720 like I was, the bills getting high, I was your 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.079 bills getting high. But at least before it was very 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.719 much like that. And you know, I believe that the 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.240 first step in innovation is the articulation of the problem. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.720 And at the age of seventeen eighteen, I articulated the 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.160 problem to be that people like my cousins who were 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.960 trained engineers did not believe that there could be a 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.760 world where things could be different. They did not believe 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.760 that this problem could be solved by some innovation or 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.720 some public private partnership. They simply thought that the best 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.880 way to solve the problem was to pretend like it's 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.000 not happening and to get used to it. And so 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.200 I wanted to create something that would make them change 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.720 that view, that would make them see in the world 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.360 not just as it is, but as it could be. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.480 And soccer is the most popular sport around the world, 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:17.160 my favorite sport, the most popular sport. And I'm assuming 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.760 you're probably really good. My cousins were not that good. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.040 Teams to the championship. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.040 I was good. Oh, you were so good that you 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.640 were bad. Now my cousins were just My cousins were 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.400 so average that they were like, why are we playing 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:38.400 this game? This is awkward. So but in that in 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.719 that way though, seeing their passion and seeing the way 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.760 that they would play on the field, I'm like, you know, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.640 the way that you approach this game, knowing damn well 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.760 that you are at best average is the way you 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.080 need to approach life. It's the way you need to 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.640 approach all of the problems in our community and infrastructurally, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.600 and so my thought was, like, let me create something 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.000 that would inspere hire them to do it. And what 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.840 ended up happening was that long story short inspired me 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:06.240 to do it. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:06.960 Got it? 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:07.520 Okay? 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.240 Yeah, all right. It took a while to figure out 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.000 exactly what technologies would get there. First it was the 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.080 play products, and then different inventions, and then a couple 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:22.000 of years ago, right before the pandemic, I started to 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.319 realize that the common thread in every community wasn't needing, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.560 like you know, an energy generating speed bump or some 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.680 cool thing here or there that was fun but couldn't scale. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.280 The common problem was data. It didn't matter if it 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.560 was in Nigeria or in the US. The data problems 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.000 were kind of compiling on each other, and that when 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.920 governments were operating in the right way, they were spending 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.280 at least half of their time tracking down, collecting, correcting, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:56.080 and sharing SOILID information to make infrastructure decisions. They often 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.360 did not have the right information to know where to 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.520 prioritize who should be getting the solar or where should 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.079 we be replacing the lead pipes, And in the other 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.000 half of the time, they were just quote unquote shooting 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.760 from the hip, and so I was like, well, if 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.439 we could solve the data problem and improve the way 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.040 that they're organizing their data to make decisions to build 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.760 sustainable infrastructure, we can help them build it faster, we 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.480 can help them build it for less. And then as 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.880 a result, we can either help them make it more 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.560 equitable or at least make it very obvious when they're 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.959 being fucked up, like make it more obvious, like, listen, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.199 that's what the data say. If you just want to 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.520 do that, you can do that, but don't act like that 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.760 data didn't say that. And so that's how we came 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.079 up with our current products. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:44.040 And we thank you, right, we thank you for that transition. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.800 So we want to. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.280 Talk about demystifying AI. So when we look at AI, 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.480 I always think about that time and I don't I 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.480 don't mind dating myself either. Fifty three Listen, I don't 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:58.160 mind that either. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.920 We should just talk about that. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:08.040 I do, right, this homegrown. So back when I was born, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.640 actually legislation was passed on cigarettes. But as I grew up, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.800 you know, cigarettes was just like whoa, it was a 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.960 cool thing to do. You had this slim lady smoking 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.000 a cigarette, right, and it was just like ayeing to me, right, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.520 And for twenty years I smoked based off of that. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.360 But what I will say is this, they demystified those cigarettes. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:26.760 It was not. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.160 Right, and that's great, that's that's that's my exact point 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:37.000 is that during my time, it was cool, right, and 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.920 it was the thing to do. And as time went 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.959 by and the Surgeon General said, no, put these warnings 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.960 on each pack of these cigarettes and let people know 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.920 exactly what it does to you, and it would curb 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.960 and it just like demystified the coolness and the sexiness 0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.720 of cigarettes. So my question is, how do we demystify AI? 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:07.480 Girl? Oh yeah, listen, because we had a hole behind 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.040 the scenes conversation y'all that we're trying to like, you know, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:15.400 keep civil for the cameras and all that. So I 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.360 think that's part of why you guys are here, right. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.960 Everyone's talking about AI. Everyone's acting like it's the new 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.000 hot thing, and they're acting like it's this black bots 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.080 and it's this scary monster that cannot be controlled and 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.840 things are just happening, but it's it's really not, you know, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.160 like you should not be afraid of AI. You should 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.000 be afraid of the people who are building it. That's it. So, 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.480 like what it comes down to, let's break this down, right, 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:47.840 AI artificial intelligence, right, and we discuss this. It's it's 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.920 kind of like a child. It's a child. It's like 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.640 a robot baby, right, chat GPT is at best a 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.000 sassy seven year old. And we all know, right, we 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.640 all know that seven year old that was born in 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.520 like you know, I don't know whatever seven years ago 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.680 was like you know, like but like basically recently grew 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.120 up with all the social media platforms and be out 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.480 here talking to you like they've grown, and you'd be like, well, 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:16.880 damn girl, you've grown. No, they just online? No, Like, 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.160 do not have this seven year old do your taxes? 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.400 It might go well sometimes until it does not, right, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.600 But what it ultimately then comes down to you have 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.040 to ask yourself, is okay, so if this is just 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.560 this this code that has a great capacity to learn, right, 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.440 and the way it's taught to learn, it's algorithms. Algorithms 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.280 are just processes. Like people like to use fancy words 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.080 to scare us and say, oh, that's a distant thing. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.920 But if you have a process for anything. That's an algorithm. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.160 That's an algorithm. You can call it that. Especially half 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.280 y'all when y'all women look great in here, I know 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.160 what you had to do, whatever you had to do 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.760 to get here on time. That's a very efficient algorithm. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.560 That's a very efficient algorithm. And all it actually comes 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.720 down to is, then how are you teaching that to 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:14.080 an artificial intelligence? How are you teaching that to this robot? Baby? 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:15.760 Let's just put it in that way so that it 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:20.120 can start to do that for you. So to that end, 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.240 when we talk about demystifying it, and we talked about 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.080 this a lot, you have to wonder who's doing the teaching. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.200 You have to wonder who's doing the teaching and how 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:40.160 are they framing the way that this child should observe 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.320 and respond to the world. So if someone is not 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.040 aware of their biases, if someone is not aware of 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.960 the fact, like, can you imagine who's the guy who 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.040 does open Aye, I'm not trying to start no shit though, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.040 this is going out to the world. But let's just 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.640 let's not use him specifically, because you know, but let's 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:04.280 can you imagine can you imagine an Elon Musk? Can 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.439 you imagine Elon Musk being at trying to teach AI 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:14.880 how to help me do my hair. I could imagine 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.200 he thinks he can do it. He thinks, of course, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:22.560 no problem. And that's a that's a fun example, right. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:27.000 Where So when we talk about demystifying AI, it's it's 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.600 really saying take the blame away from the AI and 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.600 start focusing on the people who are training these models right, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.160 and start focusing on whether or not whether they are 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.840 doing it so intentionally or on intentionally if they're actually 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:44.719 considering the vast globe of people and all of their problems. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.560 Because all AI is really is a tool. It's a 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.440 tool to help us do more. To help people do more, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.480 you need people to train this AI and trust despite 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.920 all the things that you're hearing about AI taking job, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.199 the thousands of jobs will be created because of what this 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.640 AI is doing. The people who used to drive the carriages, 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.560 when they saw the cars, they were like, I don't know, 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.560 it's getting pretty scary out here. That car don't even 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.760 got no horses. They're like, this is just wild, this 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.520 is crazy. I don't trust this. Okay, Sure they found 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.760 new jobs. So there. I feel like when people start 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.720 to say things like, oh, well be afraid of it. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.119 Oh it's gonna take your job. What they're really trying 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.679 to do is make you afraid of going behind the 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:37.159 veil and wonder why can't I be part of the 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.680 team that's building this AI. Why can't I be part 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.879 of the crew that's raising this baby. You know, they 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.840 say it takes a village, not just some dude who 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.639 doesn't blink in the corner. So why are we allowing you? 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.280 I love the sasey seven year old. So now let's 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.359 talk about that sassy seven year old. All of you 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.600 know the landscape today, right, you have states that are 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.720 removed diversity and inclusion. You have states that are removing 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.240 African studies. You can't say the word gay. And you 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:07.720 know I could go on and on, right because I 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.159 watched the news all day every day so and I 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.600 don't watch Fox, sorry, but I will say this is 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:19.440 that what do those practitioners look like in the future? Now, 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.320 this sas seven year old has never had anyone tangling 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.720 with it that did not have diversity and inclusion. Because 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.080 you have that today, right, you have African American studies today, right, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.320 you have gender equality, you have these things today, but 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.520 as the days go on, these things are being removed slowly. 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.480 So now you have people that are graduating college that 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:43.119 want to be an AI practitioner, but they did not 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.320 learn what discrimination was because they didn't believe in racism. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:47.840 Right. 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.240 I had someone tell me yesterday when I was eating 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.199 She was like, my best friend said that there was 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:52.920 no racism. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.320 Do I want that. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.760 Person tangling with my sassy seven year old? And how 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.359 does that look? 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.199 I think you know, you know, you know the answer, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.360 all right. I want to before I respond, I want 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:08.960 to do a quick show of hands. How many of 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:14.040 you are here because you're considering how to be more 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:19.199 involved in the AI industry? Okay, okay? How many of 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.359 you are here because everyone's been talking about AI and 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.480 you're like, what what is this? And you're just trying 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:32.040 to understand what it actually is? Oh okay, okay, be proud, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.840 put your hand up on Okay. 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.680 That's right. Yeah. 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.639 How many of you in some way already work with 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:45.320 AI or related to AI? Okay, okay. And so your 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.600 concern then is really that you feel like there's a 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:52.760 lot of things happening around you that you don't understand 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:58.280 or don't like or can't control. Okay, so this is 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:03.960 what what you're getting at. Indeed, we have to be 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:08.400 concerned in general, and this goes beyond AI, that we're 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.840 going to start to have generations of people who are 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:19.240 very much driving our economy, driving industries, developing technologies that 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.320 will have, from our perspective and our opinion, a skewed 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.520 view of the world and how things work. And they're 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.880 not only going to teach their NI their natural children, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.400 that they're going to teach the AI this. But because 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:40.960 of the rapid impact and a rapid scale, it's it's 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.360 not as bad as like, oh, those three kids grew 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.480 up in that racist sexist house, so now they're racist 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:50.640 and sexist. It's that AI was developed by this person 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.560 who has racist and sexist biases. And because of how 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.720 impactful AI can be, we now have an army of racist, 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:04.679 sexist or the very least incredibly aloof right like things 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:11.120 happen right. So my perspective is ultimately radical self reliance. 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:17.000 I can't help what's going on specifically Macro in Florida, 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:20.040 in Texas, but I do know people who live there 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.359 who are saying, regardless of what they're teaching, my kids 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.280 in school. Here's what I'm going to teach you at home. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:30.160 And so that's why I've been kind of recently saying, please, please, please. 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.960 The last thing you should be is afraid of AI. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.800 This is now, more than ever, the time where you 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.919 need to be incredibly excited about this tool. But you 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.600 need to see this as a battle and you need 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.359 to do everything you can to get your hands on 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.119 this weapon as well. I'm gonna keep it super super 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.560 real about this. So, as I said earlier, I'm a 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.040 thirty five year old woman, I'm married, I love my husband. 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.280 I'm getting ready and preparing myself to freeze my eggs. 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:56.120 And. 0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.199 I'm gonna be keep it real. Part of me is 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:03.720 doing that because I learned that the maternal mortality rate 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:08.520 has gotten worse. It's twenty twenty three. It is twenty 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.960 twenty three in a developed country, and you're telling me 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.240 that over the last couple of years. And it's not 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.680 just because of COVID. If I get pregnant, I have 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.920 twelve patents and patents pending. I'm building all these different things, 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:25.000 and the thing that scares me the most is having 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:29.879 a baby and dying. But the people are developing AI 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:36.480 to do the wildest, most random shit possible. But women 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:42.920 are dying when when they get pregnant, because not enough 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:46.440 women and definitely not enough Black women are sitting there saying, 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:48.640 how can I use AI as a tool to keep 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.800 more of us alive? And the only way that's gonna 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:54.879 change is if more of us say we're not afraid 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.639 of AI. Regardless you know what, y'all are gonna do 0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:58.960 what you want to do with it, But here's what 0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.399 I'm gonna do with it. Here's how I'm going to 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.960 teach this child on home, regardless of what you're doing. 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.360 And so that to me is the only answer. It's 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:10.520 it is not too late for us all to recognize 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.760 that this will not be done for us. This will 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.320 not be something where we can hope that the right 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.040
