Exploring Artificial Intelligence Evolution and Its Impact on Our Daily Lives

1 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.
