00:00:00,017 --> 00:00:04,997
Good morning. I'm Dr. William T. Choctaw. Welcome to the Healthy Wealth and
2
00:00:04,997 --> 00:00:09,397
Wise podcast, and I will be your host this morning.
3
00:00:09,917 --> 00:00:13,617
Each month, we try to provide our listeners with mental, physical,
4
00:00:13,797 --> 00:00:17,837
and spiritual strength by giving actionable advice,
5
00:00:18,197 --> 00:00:23,117
tips, guidance, and information to help you achieve your own personal,
6
00:00:23,217 --> 00:00:25,437
professional, and spiritual goals.
7
00:00:25,437 --> 00:00:32,317
We consider the health of the mind, body, and spirit paramount as a single unit
8
00:00:32,317 --> 00:00:38,257
that can provide accumulative strength greater than its individual parts to
9
00:00:38,257 --> 00:00:40,077
strengthen the whole person.
10
00:00:40,397 --> 00:00:43,817
So welcome and thank you for joining us today.
11
00:00:43,937 --> 00:00:48,817
We have a very exciting topic and let's get started.
12
00:00:48,817 --> 00:00:58,957
Today, we're going to talk about five ways that artificial intelligence has
13
00:00:58,957 --> 00:01:01,297
improved in the last 12 months.
14
00:01:01,597 --> 00:01:09,357
That's five ways that artificial intelligence has improved in the last 12 months.
15
00:01:10,017 --> 00:01:13,837
Now, you may say, well, why are we talking about artificial intelligence?
16
00:01:14,257 --> 00:01:17,657
And clearly, artificial intelligence is a part of our everyday life.
17
00:01:17,657 --> 00:01:22,017
And one of the things that we're going to try to do as we go through these next
18
00:01:22,017 --> 00:01:27,557
few minutes or so with you is to give you some ideas about how it's already
19
00:01:27,557 --> 00:01:34,697
a part of your life and why I think it's important that you be aware of what's going on around you.
20
00:01:35,277 --> 00:01:41,097
As always, we like to start with our beliefs. We believe life is about being of service to others.
21
00:01:41,397 --> 00:01:46,757
We believe knowledge is power and we believe leaders can change the world.
22
00:01:46,757 --> 00:01:53,037
This is part of our Masterclass series, this podcast, and we encourage you to
23
00:01:53,037 --> 00:01:57,677
review some of the earlier series that you may have missed and put them all
24
00:01:57,677 --> 00:02:00,857
together as an ongoing continuum, if you will.
25
00:02:01,983 --> 00:02:09,943
Well, one of the things to think about is, what is your relationship with artificial intelligence?
26
00:02:10,683 --> 00:02:15,703
What is your relationship with artificial intelligence?
27
00:02:16,623 --> 00:02:24,243
I'm going to suggest that if you do not have one or are not aware that you have
28
00:02:24,243 --> 00:02:25,983
one, that you should get one.
29
00:02:26,483 --> 00:02:30,623
The reality is that artificial intelligence is all around us.
30
00:02:30,623 --> 00:02:37,343
It is involved with just about everything we do, and it's important that you
31
00:02:37,343 --> 00:02:43,723
be aware of this so that you can fashion your experience to benefit you and
32
00:02:43,723 --> 00:02:45,603
the things that you want to use it for.
33
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:52,083
So, what we want to do is to learn more about artificial intelligence and recognize
34
00:02:52,083 --> 00:02:56,383
its benefits and risks. risk. Let me say that again.
35
00:02:56,603 --> 00:03:04,283
What we want to do is to learn more about artificial intelligence and recognize its benefits.
36
00:03:04,563 --> 00:03:08,083
And so, as always, we like to start off with an outline. And the purpose of
37
00:03:08,083 --> 00:03:11,923
the outline is to give you an idea about what we're going to talk about.
38
00:03:12,363 --> 00:03:15,723
And more importantly, to let you know when we're just about done.
39
00:03:15,903 --> 00:03:20,063
So, we're going to talk about artificial intelligence and define it for you.
40
00:03:20,183 --> 00:03:23,103
We're going to look at the different parts of artificial artificial intelligence
41
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:27,523
and some of the applicability, if you will, and then we'll mention about some
42
00:03:27,523 --> 00:03:32,803
of the risks that you need to be aware of as you move forward with your relationship
43
00:03:32,803 --> 00:03:35,003
with artificial intelligence.
44
00:03:36,563 --> 00:03:42,943
Well, let's try to define it. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of approximation
45
00:03:42,943 --> 00:03:45,283
of human intelligence in machines.
46
00:03:45,723 --> 00:03:51,323
Now, I like to simplify that and just say artificial intelligence is teaching
47
00:03:51,323 --> 00:03:52,723
machines machines to think.
48
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:56,283
Teaching machines to think.
49
00:03:56,883 --> 00:04:03,803
And just that one statement may either make you feel good or it may terrify
50
00:04:03,803 --> 00:04:06,483
you, but that is the reality of where we are now.
51
00:04:06,923 --> 00:04:12,203
The goals are, of artificial intelligence, include computer-enhanced learning,
52
00:04:12,403 --> 00:04:14,043
reasoning, and perception.
53
00:04:15,523 --> 00:04:19,503
There are different types of artificial intelligence. Two of the basic types
54
00:04:19,503 --> 00:04:27,303
are basic pattern recognition as one type and complex human emotion as another type.
55
00:04:27,703 --> 00:04:32,823
And as we get more into our discussion this morning, we'll talk about some of
56
00:04:32,823 --> 00:04:35,623
that emotion information and what that means.
57
00:04:36,423 --> 00:04:41,663
Computers are basically taught by being able to recognize patterns of data.
58
00:04:41,663 --> 00:04:45,883
We call these algorithms, patterns of data.
59
00:04:46,783 --> 00:04:51,363
So let's take a look at artificial intelligence and more simply,
60
00:04:51,443 --> 00:04:54,223
let's try to break it down into three main areas.
61
00:04:54,483 --> 00:05:01,063
The smallest and most limited version or simplest version, if you will,
62
00:05:01,223 --> 00:05:04,783
is artificial narrow intelligence.
63
00:05:05,823 --> 00:05:11,223
Artificial narrow intelligence. This is the baseline, the lower level.
64
00:05:11,663 --> 00:05:17,283
And ANI, artificial narrow intelligence, includes applications like Siri,
65
00:05:17,503 --> 00:05:21,303
which we may all have, or Alexa, or Cortana.
66
00:05:21,623 --> 00:05:27,203
These are devices we may already have in our homes and we may already use either
67
00:05:27,203 --> 00:05:30,883
on a daily basis or regularly.
68
00:05:31,403 --> 00:05:37,143
So this is the ground level of artificial intelligence, and it's called ANI,
69
00:05:37,223 --> 00:05:39,223
artificial narrow intelligence.
70
00:05:39,223 --> 00:05:46,583
The next level is called Artificial General Intelligence, and that's AGI.
71
00:05:46,983 --> 00:05:54,223
And this includes the IBM's Watson supercomputer, and it also includes self-driving cars.
72
00:05:55,203 --> 00:05:59,383
Now, some of you may already have a self-driving car, and if so,
73
00:05:59,563 --> 00:06:02,963
whether it's a Tesla or some other brand, If so,
74
00:06:03,223 --> 00:06:09,503
you are already at the middle level of artificial intelligence in terms of applicability
75
00:06:09,503 --> 00:06:11,983
and in terms of functionality.
76
00:06:13,103 --> 00:06:18,703
And so it's important to understand the different levels of artificial intelligence
77
00:06:18,703 --> 00:06:20,243
that are available to us.
78
00:06:20,403 --> 00:06:24,663
Now, some of you may have both. You may have an Alexa at home,
79
00:06:24,703 --> 00:06:27,003
and you may also have a self-driving car.
80
00:06:27,003 --> 00:06:32,983
And then the highest level is called artificial superintelligence,
81
00:06:33,223 --> 00:06:36,623
ASI, superintelligence.
82
00:06:36,883 --> 00:06:41,263
And this has to do with the hypothetical artificial intelligence,
83
00:06:41,323 --> 00:06:47,783
so the artificial intelligence that is able to achieve things beyond what we
84
00:06:47,783 --> 00:06:49,863
already know now or presently.
85
00:06:49,963 --> 00:06:53,723
This is where the computer teaches itself, basically. Basically,
86
00:06:53,763 --> 00:06:56,923
the computer teaches itself to learn.
87
00:06:57,023 --> 00:07:01,343
And obviously, this is the area that most of the concern is,
88
00:07:01,603 --> 00:07:06,703
because what happens if the computer teaches itself and ends up being smarter
89
00:07:06,703 --> 00:07:08,763
than us? Think about that.
90
00:07:09,816 --> 00:07:18,176
So, one display of artificial intelligence is with what is called a chatbot, C-H-A-T-B-O-T.
91
00:07:19,156 --> 00:07:25,396
Now, a chatbot is just a type or a style of artificial intelligence where there's
92
00:07:25,396 --> 00:07:27,436
communication back to the user.
93
00:07:27,716 --> 00:07:31,476
So, when you do a search on something, you can say it verbally,
94
00:07:31,656 --> 00:07:35,936
and with that verbal communication, you can receive a verbal communication back.
95
00:07:35,936 --> 00:07:38,856
Now, I personally don't use the chatbot.
96
00:07:38,936 --> 00:07:42,876
One, I'm not really very comfortable with anything talking to me.
97
00:07:43,036 --> 00:07:47,556
I will admit I do have a GPS in my car, and that does talk to me,
98
00:07:47,576 --> 00:07:51,616
but that's because I need it so that I can stay safe when I'm driving in an
99
00:07:51,616 --> 00:07:53,016
area that I'm not familiar with.
100
00:07:53,196 --> 00:07:55,556
But in general, you have this option.
101
00:07:55,896 --> 00:08:01,716
Another area I might add where chatbots tend to be particularly effective is with children.
102
00:08:01,716 --> 00:08:06,016
And that's another podcast that we're going to do about conversations you should
103
00:08:06,016 --> 00:08:10,216
have with your children about artificial intelligence and things that you should
104
00:08:10,216 --> 00:08:14,276
tell them and things that you should know about their behavior.
105
00:08:14,676 --> 00:08:16,136
But that will come later.
106
00:08:17,056 --> 00:08:21,436
Now, there are different types of artificial intelligence that are already in
107
00:08:21,436 --> 00:08:23,436
use by various corporations.
108
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:27,536
Corporations, Microsoft is probably the lead in the first, about a year ago,
109
00:08:27,656 --> 00:08:33,876
they came out with the chat, and then it came out with GP4, and now it uses
110
00:08:33,876 --> 00:08:37,216
or is defined as Autopilot.
111
00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:41,736
That's the name of its artificial intelligence advanced search engine.
112
00:08:42,056 --> 00:08:44,736
Google calls its engine BARD.
113
00:08:45,216 --> 00:08:49,956
Meta or X or the old Facebook has another name for its.
114
00:08:50,036 --> 00:08:55,976
Blender Blot has been used in the past. Baidu, which is a Chinese company, has used Ernie.
115
00:08:56,136 --> 00:08:59,516
And keep in mind, these names will change or have changed over time.
116
00:08:59,796 --> 00:09:04,596
But it just gives you an idea about the plethora of search engines that are
117
00:09:04,596 --> 00:09:10,476
available by various different huge computer corporations around the world.
118
00:09:10,656 --> 00:09:16,816
And this is what's driving our environment, if you will, our intellectual environment,
119
00:09:17,036 --> 00:09:21,076
our mechanical environment, and basically everything that we do.
120
00:09:21,825 --> 00:09:26,005
Now, so it's important, and the point I'm trying to get across is that you do
121
00:09:26,005 --> 00:09:31,885
not have to be a genius or even interested in artificial intelligence or the advanced technology.
122
00:09:32,225 --> 00:09:38,505
However, because it is around us completely and it is growing exponentially.
123
00:09:38,985 --> 00:09:44,585
It is important that you be able to what I call speak the language of AI.
124
00:09:44,585 --> 00:09:50,545
And speak of the language means that you understand basic stuff so that you
125
00:09:50,545 --> 00:09:56,605
can identify risk and benefits with artificial intelligence when it's presented to you.
126
00:09:56,785 --> 00:10:02,525
Let me say that again, that we want to be able to speak the language of artificial
127
00:10:02,525 --> 00:10:08,865
intelligence so that we can identify risk and benefits of artificial intelligence
128
00:10:08,865 --> 00:10:13,345
whenever we're confronted with it or our family is confronted with it.
129
00:10:13,345 --> 00:10:19,465
So let me specifically go over five particular areas of AI that have improved
130
00:10:19,465 --> 00:10:21,145
just in the last 12 months.
131
00:10:21,525 --> 00:10:27,945
Remember, a lot of this came out about a year ago, and this is when Microsoft bought OpenAI,
132
00:10:28,165 --> 00:10:32,865
which is the main leader, if you will, with artificial intelligence that was
133
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:37,245
presented in a way that the public could use it and understand it.
134
00:10:37,245 --> 00:10:42,665
In essence, what they did was they took the search engine process and they put it on steroids.
135
00:10:43,085 --> 00:10:47,805
They made it super-duper-duper fast. They made it super-duper-duper efficient.
136
00:10:48,185 --> 00:10:51,785
And then they sold it or presented it to the public.
137
00:10:52,105 --> 00:10:58,345
And, of course, the public embraced it 100%. And so that's really sort of where we are now.
138
00:10:58,565 --> 00:11:01,345
So let's talk about what's happened in the last 12 months.
139
00:11:01,785 --> 00:11:06,345
So let's look at the five things that have changed or have grown,
140
00:11:06,485 --> 00:11:08,525
if you will, in the last 12 months.
141
00:11:09,330 --> 00:11:15,110
One of the areas, the first area we'll look at, is artificial intelligence and
142
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:17,990
pharmaceutical drug discovery process.
143
00:11:18,530 --> 00:11:22,670
Certainly, we're all coming off of the pandemic of the last four years or so.
144
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:26,470
And so we're all sensitive to the importance of having various drugs,
145
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:32,450
various vaccinations for viruses, if you will, or just medication for other
146
00:11:32,450 --> 00:11:34,390
types of medical conditions.
147
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:41,750
Previously, this process in terms of having drugs approved and identified was
148
00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:45,470
excruciatingly slow, slow in terms of months and years.
149
00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:51,430
What's happened now with artificial intelligence is that much of that process has been accelerated.
150
00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:56,330
And that's a good thing because it means that those drugs can get on the markets
151
00:11:56,330 --> 00:12:01,950
much sooner and much faster, and it means that people can be helped much faster.
152
00:12:01,950 --> 00:12:06,510
And again, the best examination of that or example of that, if you will,
153
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:14,630
has been the vaccination drugs that have been produced to save lives with the coronavirus pandemic.
154
00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:25,850
A second area of the five is the artificial intelligence has significantly increased quantum computing.
155
00:12:25,850 --> 00:12:31,370
And in essence, what that means is think of a quantum computer as a master super
156
00:12:31,370 --> 00:12:36,970
supercomputer, and it's able to do all the things faster and better that the
157
00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:40,590
smaller, more classic computers used to do together.
158
00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:47,850
So it's a way of saying that artificial intelligence has taken computing to the highest level.
159
00:12:48,625 --> 00:12:54,025
That's the second big area in the last 12 months that's changed. Third area, robotics.
160
00:12:54,545 --> 00:12:58,145
Now, we're all familiar with robots and robotics in different areas.
161
00:12:58,325 --> 00:13:03,745
Actually, we did a podcast, a number of podcasts, about robotics in healthcare.
162
00:13:04,045 --> 00:13:10,385
I'm a retired general surgeon, and we used robotics in surgery before I retired.
163
00:13:10,385 --> 00:13:15,085
And so robotics have been around for a while, but they're increasing in complexity.
164
00:13:15,525 --> 00:13:20,125
In ability, and in their use.
165
00:13:20,565 --> 00:13:26,245
So we started with them. Now they're increasingly being used in the number of
166
00:13:26,245 --> 00:13:27,405
cases that are being done.
167
00:13:27,565 --> 00:13:31,445
And this is just one of the ways that robotics are helpful.
168
00:13:31,745 --> 00:13:36,405
I can remember a couple of years ago when I was working with the Joint Commission,
169
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:41,045
I was doing surveys of different hospitals. I would survey the surgery area,
170
00:13:41,105 --> 00:13:43,625
of course, because that's where my specialty is.
171
00:13:43,745 --> 00:13:48,765
And I was surveying a surgery area at a very large hospital, and they had robots.
172
00:13:49,065 --> 00:13:56,245
They had robots that took the instruments from surgery down to what's called
173
00:13:56,245 --> 00:13:59,625
the cleaning area, or we call it SPD.
174
00:13:59,625 --> 00:14:04,725
SPD, and they put the instruments on the robot.
175
00:14:04,985 --> 00:14:10,145
The robot walked to the elevator, took the elevator down to the basement where
176
00:14:10,145 --> 00:14:15,765
the cleaning area was, and unloaded the instruments to the humans who would
177
00:14:15,765 --> 00:14:17,865
clean them in the SPD area.
178
00:14:18,245 --> 00:14:21,205
I was amazed at that, and that was a number of years ago.
179
00:14:21,305 --> 00:14:27,285
So my point is that that's all improving and increasing in availability and
180
00:14:27,285 --> 00:14:31,825
A fourth area is 5G networks.
181
00:14:32,997 --> 00:14:38,217
If you watch any football or you watch television for any reason,
182
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:45,657
you will see a commercial about the new 5G networks that certain telecommunication companies have,
183
00:14:45,737 --> 00:14:49,037
or certain phone companies have, or computer companies have,
184
00:14:49,197 --> 00:14:52,497
to make your internet go faster and more efficiently.
185
00:14:53,357 --> 00:14:59,017
This is all because of, or largely influenced by, artificial intelligence.
186
00:14:59,717 --> 00:15:05,917
Artificial intelligence. intelligence. And the fifth way is climate change mitigation.
187
00:15:06,317 --> 00:15:10,917
We all know that our climate is in crisis, and that's increasing over time.
188
00:15:11,257 --> 00:15:15,477
And one of the things that the artificial intelligence technology
189
00:15:15,477 --> 00:15:22,637
is being used for is to help us in ways that we can mitigate some of those changes
190
00:15:22,637 --> 00:15:29,157
by controlling the carbon or categorizing the carbon in a certain area so it
191
00:15:29,157 --> 00:15:31,297
has less of an impact on our environment.
192
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:36,817
The point I'm simply trying to make that these are just five of other many other
193
00:15:36,817 --> 00:15:39,577
ways that just in 12 months,
194
00:15:39,737 --> 00:15:48,317
the artificial intelligence driven technology that's all around us is advancing rapidly.
195
00:15:49,037 --> 00:15:54,917
So that's the good news. The other side of that that is there also risk.
196
00:15:56,097 --> 00:15:59,117
Remember, we're teaching computers how to think.
197
00:15:59,957 --> 00:16:04,857
And we're teaching them how to improve their thinking as need be,
198
00:16:04,917 --> 00:16:07,157
sort of like a self-repair type of thing.
199
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:13,900
We can't stop that process because we don't control that part of it because we're not computers.
200
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,480
And so the biggest risk is safety for humans.
201
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,260
We've all seen the movies over the years about the computer that gets out of
202
00:16:24,260 --> 00:16:25,880
control and then controls society.
203
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,140
Well, that may not be that far off.
204
00:16:30,140 --> 00:16:37,700
But the reality is that it is important to be able to understand and to mitigate
205
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:42,500
that risk of danger to mankind in general.
206
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,960
And to actually amplify that, we've had a number of the individuals who developed
207
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:53,040
these supercomputers or developed the AI technology who are sounding those alarm bells.
208
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,600
These are the ones who are testified in Congress and are writing articles.
209
00:16:57,940 --> 00:17:03,220
Some have resigned from their respective computer companies so they could speak
210
00:17:03,220 --> 00:17:08,040
freely and are saying we need to be careful and we need to put guidelines in place.
211
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:12,420
But obviously, that's easier said than done because first we have to understand
212
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:15,460
the technology sufficiently to be able to do that.
213
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,140
But my point is that there are risks. And compared to the benefits that I talked
214
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:21,820
about earlier, we need to be aware of that.
215
00:17:21,820 --> 00:17:24,780
Some of the other risks of artificial intelligence, remember,
216
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:29,780
this is just data that's being fed to the machine, if you will,
217
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:32,700
is that that data not be biased.
218
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,140
Because if it is, it's sort of like garbage in and garbage out.
219
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,840
And we all know this. Many times the computer is only as good as what you put into it.
220
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,800
And so if the information that we put into the computer is biased,
221
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,180
say if it has information that's anti-female or has bias against various types
222
00:17:55,180 --> 00:17:58,640
of groups in this country, racial groups, ethnic groups,
223
00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:06,340
etc., then the artificial intelligence will do more harm as compared to doing more help.
224
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:10,920
We need to make sure that it's safe along with the same lines,
225
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:17,740
that it doesn't cause us to depend so much on it that we end up either injuring
226
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:20,120
ourselves or injuring others.
227
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,700
And we need to make sure that the information is not used for profiling and
228
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:28,680
deception. Again, going back to the bias idea.
229
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:35,847
So there are some particular risks, obviously. But the reality is the computer is not going anywhere.
230
00:18:36,227 --> 00:18:43,187
It is not going anywhere. It is like the cell phone or the laptop or whatever.
231
00:18:43,447 --> 00:18:46,947
It is not going anywhere. So, what I believe,
232
00:18:47,187 --> 00:18:52,627
what is important is that we humans need to first understand it and secondly,
233
00:18:52,747 --> 00:18:59,507
need to come up with a way to be able to use it to its maximum benefit.
234
00:19:00,167 --> 00:19:05,247
One of the ways I look at it is that if we can speak the language and if we
235
00:19:05,247 --> 00:19:11,627
understand basic stuff with it, then we are able to understand it enough so
236
00:19:11,627 --> 00:19:14,467
that we know the risk versus the benefits.
237
00:19:14,867 --> 00:19:20,707
And that's really my bottom line, that I do believe it is not a good idea to
238
00:19:20,707 --> 00:19:25,807
put our heads in the sand like ostrich and just sort of hope that when we come
239
00:19:25,807 --> 00:19:27,967
out, when we lift our heads up out of the sand,
240
00:19:28,127 --> 00:19:31,967
the computers have gone away or AI has gone away. That's not going to happen.
241
00:19:32,167 --> 00:19:36,247
And indeed, what would happen is if you're that ostrich with your head in the
242
00:19:36,247 --> 00:19:39,727
sand, when you lift up, you're going to have a lot of robots around you,
243
00:19:39,827 --> 00:19:41,807
which would be a whole different area. you.
244
00:19:41,987 --> 00:19:46,927
But I do think, I do think there hopefully is a middle ground.
245
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:51,247
And so what we do with these podcasts is to give you information.
246
00:19:51,547 --> 00:19:58,067
Again, second belief, knowledge is power, to try to empower you to develop your
247
00:19:58,067 --> 00:20:04,687
environment and circumstances such that you're able to use the computer system
248
00:20:04,687 --> 00:20:10,687
and particularly the AI information with those systems to your maximal benefit.
249
00:20:11,879 --> 00:20:16,619
In summary, with artificial intelligence, it is not our future.
250
00:20:16,659 --> 00:20:18,799
It is now. It is our present.
251
00:20:19,239 --> 00:20:22,819
It is basically teaching computers how to think.
252
00:20:23,859 --> 00:20:25,599
There are various forms of these
253
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:29,499
computers, and there are three different areas or levels, if you will.
254
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:33,299
There's artificial narrow intelligence, which is baseline.
255
00:20:33,639 --> 00:20:35,639
That's your Siri and your Alexa.
256
00:20:36,439 --> 00:20:39,919
There's artificial general intelligence, which is just self-driving cars.
257
00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:46,139
And then there's artificial superintelligence, which has to do with machines,
258
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:52,279
if you will, having some degree of emotion.
259
00:20:52,979 --> 00:20:57,439
Now, this is controversial. It is controversial. There are some experts that
260
00:20:57,439 --> 00:20:59,739
know that's just hundreds of years away.
261
00:20:59,879 --> 00:21:02,919
Other experts say they have emotion right now.
262
00:21:03,099 --> 00:21:05,499
The word that's used for that is sentience.
263
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:11,159
Sentience. Because the belief is that the only thing that distinguishes humans
264
00:21:11,159 --> 00:21:14,059
from the machine is that we humans have emotion.
265
00:21:14,739 --> 00:21:18,959
So if machines can think like we can think, i.e. even better than we can think,
266
00:21:19,019 --> 00:21:21,419
what distinguishes us from them? Emotion.
267
00:21:22,019 --> 00:21:25,859
Because emotion is not really logical, if you think about it.
268
00:21:25,859 --> 00:21:34,599
But if the robot and the artificial intelligence is able to develop emotions,
269
00:21:35,079 --> 00:21:40,639
then that would then allow them, I believe, the opportunity to supersede us.
270
00:21:40,779 --> 00:21:44,339
So that's still the controversial area, so I don't want you to worry too much
271
00:21:44,339 --> 00:21:46,599
about it, but I do want you to be aware of it.
272
00:21:46,779 --> 00:21:51,779
But just be aware that, like with anything else, there's risk-benefits.
273
00:21:51,779 --> 00:21:57,139
And so you want to look at the risk and the benefits and make sure that your
274
00:21:57,139 --> 00:22:00,559
usage is to the benefit of you and your family.
275
00:22:01,904 --> 00:22:06,704
As always, I like to end with my basic principles. God is in charge in my life,
276
00:22:06,724 --> 00:22:12,064
and indeed is my belief in God that has sustained me as a position and as an
277
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:18,244
individual and allowed me to maintain a certain happiness and balance in my life.
278
00:22:18,584 --> 00:22:22,824
Second principle is that I have no bad days. I decided many years ago that I'd
279
00:22:22,824 --> 00:22:25,224
had enough bad days, so I got rid of them.
280
00:22:25,404 --> 00:22:27,804
And my days, the good days are great days.
281
00:22:28,404 --> 00:22:31,664
Third, I don't sweat the small stuff, and most stuff is small.
282
00:22:31,904 --> 00:22:36,924
And I've learned that. And so I don't worry about things that I think I cannot control.
283
00:22:37,784 --> 00:22:42,104
Fourth, forgiveness is therapy. What I have figured out that whenever something
284
00:22:42,104 --> 00:22:49,284
happens to me or around me that I perceive as negative by someone or circumstance,
285
00:22:49,684 --> 00:22:53,444
I immediately forgive that individual. Immediately forgive.
286
00:22:53,784 --> 00:22:57,244
Don't try to figure out the facts. Doesn't matter. Just forgive. give.
287
00:22:57,284 --> 00:23:02,444
You'll be amazed at how therapeutic that is and how that will lower your stress level.
288
00:23:02,724 --> 00:23:06,064
And the final basic principle is that everything is a relationship.
289
00:23:07,064 --> 00:23:10,704
Relationships are based on three things, mutual respect, mutual trust,
290
00:23:10,704 --> 00:23:11,544
and good communication.
291
00:23:11,964 --> 00:23:14,864
If you have those three things, you have a great relationship.
292
00:23:15,244 --> 00:23:19,864
If you do not have those three things, you have work to do.
293
00:23:19,864 --> 00:23:31,204
So finally be the change that you want to see in the world thank you god bless have a great day.
