(gun firing) (crowd cheering)
The pursuit of AI is painted as an international race.
Let me introduce the heavyweight contest
between America and China!
But is that the real picture?
Who will hold the real power over AI?
(suspenseful music)
And nothing but the truth.
Would you like some coffee?
Yes, please.
Are you spying on me again?
No.
Liar.
(patriotic music)
America is the most powerful nation in the world
and in terms of AI technology,
the U S is a heavyweight champion,
but there are lots of other countries hot on her heels.
So I'm here to find out what America is doing to stay ahead.
The U.S. Defense Department has invested in AI
for over 50 years and their agency
that made those strategic bets is called DARPA.
For over 60 years, DARPA,
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
has funded breakthrough technology projects
that have changed our world.
Technology that DARPA kickstarted decades ago
now forms the foundation of the internet,
the Global Positioning System, GPS,
self-driving cars, stealth technology,
and even the computer mouse.
DARPA invests billions in search of next generation AI
and that could transform our world again.
So we really see AI is making it possible for a machine
to really start to function more as a colleague or partner
than just merely as a tool.
Do you regard that America
is leading the world in AI know-how?
We are a world leader.
A lead can be very short lived
and that's pretty much due to the democratization
of technology throughout the world.
Particularly in information technologies
computer based technologies.
I asked the question earlier
because Vladimir Putin has been quoted as saying
that the nation that leads in AI will rule the world.
It's asking, say, I have Silicon transistor technology.
I'm going to rule the world.
I have AI technology, I will rule the world.
By itself, it has no impact.
You will need the human beings who will take it,
understand how to incorporate it into bigger systems,
understand how to then use those systems
that start to make that big difference.
So how does the USA maintain
its technological advantage in terms of AI?
But I think the United States
is certainly has an excellent infrastructure or ecosystem
that BA is able to pull that in
and turn it into products and other types of applications.
(upbeat music)
When it comes to taking advantage
of the latest computer technology,
that's a specialty of California's Silicon valley.
From silicon microchips to personal computers,
from internet companies to smartphones,
Silicon valley has prospered
by turning technology into consumer products for decades.
The microchip was invented here.
The valley is where John Markoff grew up.
As a journalist, he's written about the tech industry
for nearly 30 years.
He's now a research affiliate at Stanford university,
a cradle of AI.
In 1964, a Stanford professor
by the name of John McCarthy,
created a research laboratory here
called the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
and he was funded by the Pentagon
and at that time he told his funders
that it would take him 10 years to build a thinking machine.
He was a little optimistic.
Yeah, a little bit late.
It turned out to be a harder problem
than he thought it was.
So you go all the way back to 1980
in Silicon valley in 1980 to 85
and there was a mini boom in AI
and everybody thought that AI was going to be
the next big thing then and they were wrong.
They were too early
and so a bunch of companies were started
and they all folded and it was called the AI winter.
It's a boom and bust economy,
and there's no reason that won't happen again.
Now AI seems to be taking over the world.
The valley sees a new idea,
and everybody goes after that idea
and that's what's happening with AI.
Not only did you have an investment cycle
with Silicon valley venture capitalists,
but there was also a wave of Chinese investment
into Silicon valley
and you get both of those things together
and you have this huge fire hose of money
and so you have this really remarkable period.
Would you prefer the future of AI
to be dominated by Silicon valley
rather than say China or Russia?
Better that the technology is controlled
by democratic country then non-democratic country
but I actually think about it on a different axis.
It's actually, are we going to these technologies
to augment the human mind,
or are we going to use it to replace the human mind?
A lot of the best engineers in Silicon valley
have that value set,
that is that we want to use this technology
to empower the best parts of humanity.
But Silicon valley values can bump against
the demands of America's military.
In 2017, Google signed a contract
with the Defense Department to provide its AI technology
for project Nathan,
where they would help them use machine learning
to analyze drone footage,
but 6,400 Google employees petitioned against it,
demanding of the company, never build warfare technology.
Back on the east coast, just outside Washington, DC,
retired air force general Dr. Robert Latiff
has a different perspective about what happened at Google.
I think it was a bit hypocritical.
Google makes a lot of money selling things
to the Department of Defense
and to the intelligence community
with cloud services and all kinds of software.
When you think about it,
what they backed away from was a specific project
for a specific system.
For a while, we've been investing
in the scale of our computational architecture.
So do you think, I mean despite that,
these big tech companies will continue
to work with the American military
in its AI tech initiatives?
I absolutely do.
They have responsibilities to shareholders
and they're all good Americans.
They're American companies.
So do you think there is a global arms race
going on right now in terms of AI?
Yes, there is a big arms race going,
particularly with, between the U.S. and China and Russia.
All of those countries are spending
an enormous amount of money,
not only for civil applications,
but also for defense and intelligence application.
My opinion in the future artificial intelligence
will help us decide what to do
and what should our next move be,
like a game of chess
and then ultimately machines will actually do
some of the fighting for us.
Talk of an arms race worries me
and I'm not the only one.
In Cambridge university
at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk,
researchers are analyzing how AI could endanger the world.
I think describing us as the worst case scenario guys
is actually quite an apt description.
We're an interdisciplinary research center
focused on the biggest risks that we might face the century.
How true or false is this narrative
of nations being in this race to lead in AI
and dominate the world?
There's been a lot made of the quote by Vladimir Putin
that whoever wins in AI or leads in AI rules the world
but it often hasn't been mentioned
that he said this to school children,
and he followed up the initial line by saying,
if Russia was in this position,
it would have a responsibility to share
the benefits of AI with the world.
So has it all been somewhat sensationalist?
I think there's an element of sensationalism to it.
We think that it's a rhetoric that might encourage
coroner cutting on safety,
and it might discourage the kind of
global cooperative conversation that we think
is really needed in order to make sure
that the benefits of artificial intelligence
are distributed internationally.
The truth is the pursuit of AI
isn't a winner takes all race.
People across the world work together.
They share ideas and spur each other on.
(foreign language)
China plans to lead the world in AI by 2030.
(foreign language speaking)
To digest the country's AI vision,
I'll sample how China's become a hot pot for AI.
Are you spying on me again?
No.
Liar.
The U.S. leads the world in AI technology,
but China aims to catch up.
In July, 2017, the state council of China
outlined a plan for their country
to become the leading AI power by 2030.
In China, AI is now a national priority.
Before I go to China,
I visit Oxford university's Future of Humanity Institute
to speak with Jeffrey Ding.
Jeff's been analyzing China's AI ambitions
and wrote a paper deciphering China's AI dream.
Why would China want to lead the world in AI?
They see AI as the next industrial revolution
that is essential for countries to be
on the leading edge of.
So you capture the most gains,
you're on the forefront of what drives future economies
and future technologies.
So they see AI as this enabling factor
that will allow them to climb
the value chain for manufacturing,
allow them to keep maintaining GDP targets
with a declining labor force and aging populations
and maintain performance legitimacy.
You also have very important related objectives
in the military space, maintaining national security,
ensuring ways to better manage the population through data
backed governance methods and then finally,
the countries that are on the leading edge
are viewed as more powerful or viewed as more influential.
So there is that procedure and reputational element as well.
(upbeat music)
In China, they're crazy about AI and robots.
It's everywhere, even if you just want some hot pot.
So let's check out this branch of Heikki Lau in Beijing.
This looks like a laboratory,
but no, there's no DNA of cave man,
or a cure for cancer.
What this is is like the distribution center.
A robot arm grabs your order
and a robot waiter serves it to you.
(foreign language speaking)
Tibet's citizens experience the future
of AI and smart technology.
Chinese companies have built this smart town.
Here you can experience a vision of banking with robots.
Hello.
(foreign language speaking)
Thank you very much for the compliment.
You can access this unmanned 24 hour smart shop
with your face.
There we go.
In we go.
I want everything.
(upbeat music)
Chilies, let's get some chilies.
(upbeat music)
Oh right, I guess I forgot to pay
for the chilies by scanning the code.
Obviously this is pretty secure and pretty convenient
and always remember, shop theft is a crime.
This smart home has a smart fridge,
smart climate control and even a smart toilet.
(foreign language speaking)
And the exhibition used to include a spin
in a driverless car.
Oh, it's moving by itself.
The steering wheel's moving by itself.
Organizers say that 500,000 people
have visited this smart town
and many had been wowed by what's in show.
Do you think this is the future?
(foreign language speaking)
Chongqing aims to be the largest smart city in Asia.
With a population of 30 million,
it's a treasure trove of data,
but with so much of it all,
it will take AI and machine learning
to make sense of it all.
(upbeat music)
(foreign language speaking)
This big data exhibition center
presents data drawn from all of Chongqing's districts.
It consolidates data from government,
business, community and traffic too.
(foreign language speaking)
At the country level,
Chongqing has to be defined at the only city
focused on big data and intelligence.
So the government has put a lot of resources
in developing this.
Chongqing's new area is attracting
tech corporations and startups to set up outposts here.
Officials say they want the area to be
a knowledge hub for China's AI industry.
(foreign language speaking)
At Yungtung, AI and big data analysis
is transforming a major Chongching industry, logistics.
Chongqing is a land transport and logistics hub
for Western China.
It has a crucial role in China's trillion dollar plan
to reestablish the silk road
and expand overland trade with other nations
China's belt and road initiative could be empowered by AI.
(upbeat music)
(foreign language speaking)
To support growth and China's AI vision,
Chongqing University of Technology
launched an AI college and YongTong
that just took in its first batch of students.
(foreign language speaking)
This AI college was founded just a year
after the central government announced
its national AI strategy.
The college has gained instant credibility
by taking in established faculty members
from Peking university and much investment from the state.
At least half the students come from across China
and admission is only for those with top tier grades.
(foreign language speaking)
China wants to be a world leader in AI.
So how important is education in achieving this goal
and from what you've seen of the students
and the education system,
is achieving this goal a reality?
(foreign language speaking)
AI dominance depends on very smart people.
Alex B it has studied education systems around the world
and says China will become the best in AI through education.
Well, I think China has is a great basic education system,
and they've just announced last year,
this big AI education policy.
So they're planning to build national institutes
of artificial intelligence education across the country.
They're bringing AI education into the curriculum
for secondary schools.
So kids in Shanghai, for example,
know three years more maths
and one and a half years more science than kids in the UK.
Why is education the key to winning this long race
towards AI dominance?
There is a Chinese saying which I really like,
that if your plan is for one year plant rice,
if your plan is for 10 years, plant trees,
and if your plan is for 100 years, educate children.
China's AI industry is getting involved in education too.
This high school textbook about AI fundamentals
was released by one of China's leading
AI startups, Sensetime.
Usually it takes about five or six years to produce a PhD.
So we've figured, instead of saying
you can only learn about AI in college,
you can actually learn when you're in high school.
The textbook was implemented today in
about 100 top high schools in China.
In 2018, Sensetime was the world's
highest valued AI startup valued
at over 4.5 billion U.S. dollars.
With supercomputing and its own deep learning platform,
Sensetime can identify multiple people
and objects in real time.
It's helping its customers with security,
governance and traffic control.
Our customers can use this to find the traffic jam
or traffic accidents
and we can tell which ones whose responsibility
it is in the traffic accident.
Oh, that looks real close.
Oh, he almost hit someone.
Actually this is the,
China's the perfect place to see this sort of thing,
because the way people drive here is very scary.
It's like that.
China has made international headlines
for its advanced use of facial recognition
using an extensive network of CCTV cameras,
authorities have managed to locate long lost fugitives
and even missing children,
but some question if powerful AI should be used
to watch over citizens.
(upbeat music)
All countries have to survey their societies.
We have CCTV cameras in order to look out for risky
or criminal behavior that can be harmful to general society
but the problem with artificial intelligence
when it's applied to surveillance
is that it becomes extremely excessive.
Very.
Invasive.
Exactly, and that concerns with certain countries,
which are a little bit undemocratic like Russia and China
that may seek to use AI driven surveillance in a way
which is generally not acceptable to other countries.
Big brother style.
Exactly.
So I've explored how AI could empower nations,
but could AI disempower workers?
It's really scary.
I think a lot of people would think
about mass unemployment,
but I read that Sweden isn't afraid of that.
Is that true?
Are you spying on me again?
No.
Liar.
I would hate to lose my job and be replaced
by a robot or AI.
Will AI disempower workers?
(upbeat music)
Michael Chewy's a researcher who worked
on a disturbing eye-catching report
for McKinsey Global Institute.
The December 2017 report said that AI and automation
would make 75 to 375 million workers switch job tasks
by the year 2013.
I think a lot of people when they think
about AI and robotics, think about mass unemployment.
They think about people losing their jobs
and by the way, that likely will happen going forward
but that's not new.
I mean, we've actually seen in history,
here in the United States in 1900,
40% of the U.S. workforce was involved in agriculture
and 70 years later, it was about 2%.
Well, we don't have 35% unemployment here
because we've created new activities
to pay people to do over time
and I think what we've seen in our research
is that there definitely are scenarios
where even going forward,
there'll be enough work for people to do.
So the shift in mindset is not as much
to worry about mass unemployment,
but really to take that problem solving mindset
to how do we do mass redeployment?
We think it's one of the grand challenges
of the next few decades.
Reports say that AI and automation
could displace hundreds of millions of jobs
but I read that Sweden isn't afraid of that.
Is that true?
What do they know that we don't?
We know Sweden through it's world famous brands,
Ikea, H and M, Volvo, Absolute.
The list goes on.
For a country of just approximately 10 million people,
the Swedes really pack a punch when it comes
to innovation and enterprise.
To understand how Swedes approach technology,
I visit the epicenter in Stockholm.
It may look like yet another hip coworking space,
but its staff and members have embedded microchips
in their hands that opened the door to new possibilities.
Now I never forget my keys.
You just swipe the door and off we go.
Welcome to the center.
Thank you.
My host is epicenter's chief disruption officer
Hanace Weber.
So I swipe my chip here and here we go.
Can I treat you to a sparkling water?
Of course.
Thank you very much.
So that was the transaction.
Okay.
And the chip goes in my wallet.
So this is a pretty neat pack.
What I have here is a little implant,
which is about the size of a grain of rice.
Yes, it is a little bit.
A little hard thing and if you want to have a look,
this is what it looks like.
Okay, so this is it.
It's not more dramatic to put it in your hand
than it is to, for example, get an earring.
The only thing is that this is a smart technology
because it has the capacities of a badge
or I mean a plastic card that uses NFC technology,
which is near field communication.
It turns out that if you put a little chip implant
in your hand, it gives you a lot
of fascinating abilities.
For example?
Well, I have my business cards in my chips,
so I never run out of business cards,
but I can also use this around Sweden
in different shops to get discounts.
I can ride trains all over Sweden using this as my ticket.
I can just swipe my hand at the turnstiles.
And how open are your colleagues
and fellow Swedes to this concept?
A lot of people here at epicenter
are experimenting with these implants
and when we host our, after works here,
sometimes we have a piercer come to do implants,
and there's always a lot of people
that turn up to get implanted.
So by now we've implanted thousands
of people at these different events.
I think Sweden is a country where people
are quite tech savvy and that makes
it easier for them to adopt and understand new technologies.
Perhaps we trust our institutions
a lot here in Sweden.
The fact that there are quite a lot of Swedes
who are very open to this idea,
shows that there is quite a bit of trust
between them and companies and the government.
Swedes trust the government so much
that they pay over 50% income tax.
In return citizens expect the government
to provide social welfare, services and a safety net.
The Swedish government says its national AI strategy
will enhance both the economy and people's welfare.
They've appointed Asa Zetterberg
to push for the plan as Sweden's chief digital officer.
This new role actually, so it's pretty much challenging,
but of course it's a unique role to drive
the digital transformation for Sweden.
There are lots of reports out there saying that with AI,
millions of jobs are going to be lost
and recently there was an article in the New York Times,
it said the robots are coming and Sweden is fine.
Are the Swedes really quite open to it
because they think that the companies and society
will train them in new jobs?
Are they quite confident about that?
We have a history of making it work.
Since we have quite a well big welfare system
and everything and maybe that's something that people feel,
feel trust that we will be taken care of.
We understand the facts that we can't really resist it.
We can make good use of it and by doing that,
Sweden could be really competitive
on an international level.
By being only afraid or being like sitting
still that's more scary.
The Swedes are fairly open to it.
Or has there been quite a bit of resistance towards
artificial intelligence?
It's not an easy to say,
but we are also critical and that's good.
We need to have the capacity to think what is good and bad
and how do we do the best out of this?
The Swedish government seems keen on AI,
but what do Stockholm residents think about AI?
I think it's a little bit scary.
Right now we have the control,
but if we just keep doing what we're doing,
they will be more intelligent and eventually take over.
AI is already taking over jobs.
At some supermarkets, why have surgeons
when you can have a robot with exact precision?
Or I can also be a provider for the future
so people can get other jobs.
Your jobs were displaced.
Do you trust your government in retraining you?
I don't really think I would trust them.
Swedish people like to educate
and learn more about internet and technology.
So whose responsibility is it?
Is it the government?
Is it your company's responsibility?
Everyone takes,
but you need help and you need structure
and you need relationship support that enable you
to be the best you in your career and your everyday life.
But at this point in time,
I think they're still finding how to embrace this technology
and also look out for their own people.
I mean, it's not some AI utopia here.
While society navigates AI's
pros and cons for some Swedish companies,
AI could be like jet fuel.
I'm in the flight simulator of a Grippin,
which is one of the world's most advanced,
if not the world's most advanced fighter jet.
So ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts.
We're in for a bumpy ride.
The Grippin is designed by Saab,
a Swedish aerospace and defense company.
Saab was founded in 1937 to develop
Sweden's first fighter plane
when no one would sell them one.
Yes, let's do a loop.
Let's do a loop.
Okay, here we go.
One, two, three.
Fighter jets like the grip and showcase,
Sweden's determination to innovate with cutting edge
technology in spite of their size,
will AI make a better pilot commit to me?
Of course.
I meet Saab's Chief technology officer Pantas Deliva.
Pantas says AI could enhance their
world-class defense systems.
Machine learning could make sense of sonar,
radar and sensor signals.
AI could even fly their signature fighter jet.
Making them completely autonomous.
How many trips?
There's this New York times article
that has the headline Robots are coming and Sweden is fine.
That's because the Swedes trust
that their companies and society
will train them in new jobs once their jobs are displaced.
How accurate a picture is this of Sweden and its industries?
I think it's an accurate picture.
Going back in time where we
had the shipyard industry,
one of the world's largest shipyard industries,
and we did the mistake and try to hang on
to that industry and you just waste a lot of money
and I think this policy since then,
since the seventies has been instead to retrain people
and also I was like a social security network.
So people are feel safe really to adopt a new technology.
We've been able to cope with the technology shifts so far
and we think we will cope with this one as well.
We worry AI could take jobs,
but AI could actually enable more to work.
Microsoft seeing AI app describes aloud
what it sees on camera.
I think it's a man jumping in the air,
doing a trick on a skateboard.
It was created by a visually impaired developer to enable
those with poor sight to make sense
of the world around them.
Seeing AI has been embraced at Pop giant high restaurant,
a social enterprise that gives people with disabilities,
meaningful work.
A lot of people say that AI
will take away jobs for many people,
but I think your situation
is slightly different, right?
I feel that you create jobs for us,
for the visually impaired community.
Restaurant staff with vision or learning impairments
could use seeing AI to read up orders, recipes and menus.
Garlic honey chicken with rice.
Basil chicken with rice
with choice of homemade iced Thai drink.
There are about billion people
around the world with disabilities.
That's about 15% of the world's population
that have disabilities
and so when we think about empowering,
literally every person on the planet to achieve more,
we also need to make sure we include
people with disabilities.
In Cambridge University Dr. Simon Beard
wrote that AI can make the world fairer,
but it's up to us.
I myself have a visual impairment and my job
has been immensely improved by the quality
of the text to speech algorithms
that have been developed now
to turn written papers into documents that I can listen to.
The problem is of course that there's no requirement
that that is actually what the aid eye does.
It's up to our society actually decide
how you're going to use those possibilities.
My home city, Singapore aims to be a smart nation,
but with a world hungry for AI,
can we hang on to our talent?
Oh, Silicon valley and then Singapore.
Singapore.
Are you spying on me again?
No.
Liar.
I've examined the rivalry of great nations
and AI's impact on the world.
Now I'll see what AI can open up for my home Singapore.
I believe that Singapore has a role to play
in the AI world,
and certainly this should not be limited
by the size of our country.
Oliver Tine is the chief executive of Vsense.
One of Singapore's leading startups specializing in AI.
With these tools,
we can amplify the relevance
that Singapore has as a country.
Instead of being 50 million people,
we can still achieve the same impact
using artificial intelligence,
even though we are a country of 5.5 million people.
Vsense's visual search engine
empowers international retailers like Zilara and Uniclo,
enabling consumers to search their products online,
using just an image.
Pictures are universal language.
It cuts across Japanese, Korean, Italian.
So we are able to help people find products
without them searching for keywords.
Take a picture of a nice shirt.
Yeah, yeah.
Flamingo.
It's from Walmart.
It's from $18.50 cents.
Walmart right.
Well much of what you're playing off.
These big companies,
they've got lots of money
and you're a smaller company in Singapore.
How do you compete for the talent?
So talent is very precious.
Especially AI talents today.
Talent is mobile today.
They like to work with people
that are smarter than themselves.
We've built a critical mass of talent
that draws in other talent from different markets.
So today we have more than 14 nationalities
speaking more than a dozen languages.
Gov tech, the government technology agency says
Singapore must hold onto its precious AI talent
and attract them back from abroad.
Singapore is doing great work around the world.
How can we attract them back?
Well, part of it is to give them cool stuff to do.
They need big challenges
and because of what we're trying to do with smart nation,
we're trying to solve a whole country's problems.
This is not about designing your next game
or your next consumer app.
It's not?
It's about solving some really important problems.
Transport, healthcare, safety and security.
How do we do social services better?
So we think that interesting,
exciting challenges and important reason
for people to stay here and come back here.
Is there a bit of an image problem here?
I mean, people think, oh, Silicon valley and then Singapore,
Be like, which one do I choose?
Singapore.
I mean, seriously,
if you're Singapore and you want to be close to home,
you want to be close to your parents.
Maybe you've had some time overseas,
you've had an exciting adventure, but you want to come home.
It's home.
What happens here at Gov Tech?
They build cool stuff.
They code great programs and they bring it together.
Parking down the street.
Have you used that?
The app to pay so you don't have to use
your pocket coupons anymore.
That one.
Done here.
That came from here?
Very environmentally friendly guys.
Good stuff, good stuff.
No one's littering anymore too.
I never did though.
But if you did, there's an app,
the one service app to report on littering
and town council and municipal issues.
Can we talk about how it's about the people
who are handling the data and harnessing
this artificial intelligence technology
but at some point in time,
won't the robots replace the people?
So our response in Singapore has always been
that we have to re-skill and retrain
and actually this is not something new just in,
this decade because of AI.
It's something that we've thought about
as long as we've been an independent nation
that we will always have to retrain
and re-skill our workforce.
Many working Singaporeans are preparing
for AI's impact by learning what they can about it.
What's your idea of AI?
Due to Hollywood, everybody thinks that,
oh, this is AI, right?
No, today we are already using AI.
Through its AI for everyone workshop,
AI Singapore aims to introduce 10,000 residents
to AI within three years.
If our adults are rethinking the way they look at AI
should our youth?
Youth are really going to be the next generation of people
who will have the strongest say,
and will be in a position to shape this technology
and you have to start off with a the level of ideas.
As part of the education ministries,
gifted education program,
university professor Dr. Graham Web
mentor some of Singapore's brightest young minds
and guides their studies of how AI could impact society.
Tell me more about your study into AI.
I'm studying AI in the area of healthcare,
namely elder care.
Learn about AI in the transportation sector.
I'm doing research on what the public thinks of AI.
For example, I could state a question,
do you think AI would eliminate the human race?
So do they think we're going to be eliminated?
Mostly not after my research.
I definitely feel that there's a need
for greater public awareness
because I think most people,
are foreign to the idea of AI or they underestimate AI.
So how does working with these students
prepare us for the future?
The mantle is really on
the next generation of Singaporeans
and that's where we need to be
investing a lot of our energies,
preparing them for the know the future prospect of AI.
May I?
Awesome.
Let's do it.
At Child First Singapore,
they teach students to code and program robots
by the time they graduate at six years old.
We started as a bilingual school
where we practice a half day English and half day Chinese
but with advent of AI, we feel that it's important
for children to learn the third language,
which we believe is coding.
The language to communicate with robots and AI.
Function one.
As we know for learning a language
it's best to learn it when you're young.
And so does everyone love this
or have you had some criticism?
There are also some parents
that feel that the coding is for programmers.
My child was going to be a doctor or lawyer.
Why is this relevant to my child?
But the reality is AI is going to impact
all industries and all jobs.
So how can exposing children
to robots and AI make them more human?
For example, like the robot dance
that you you saw earlier,
that is a creative endeavor.
They need to think about how to position the robots.
What's the dance steps they need to do, the music.
This is goes beyond just the coding
and the programming side.
They have to communicate.
They have to work as teams.
They have to solve problems.
They experience failure and success.
The robot dance is just a means
of training them on these much bigger things.
As a result, they become more human.
From what I've seen,
the next generation will have real power over AI.
How the future turns out will depend
on the values we pass onto them.
