I think.

{{00:00:16}}
I think that AI is a meta technology
which is on par and perhaps even

{{00:00:22}}
more profound than computing.

{{00:00:26}}
The birth of modern computing in the
1940s brought us the internet, social

{{00:00:29}}
media, the digital ecosystem, the age of
information and the digital age, which

{{00:00:34}}
we are now all plugged into, right?

{{00:00:37}}
And that has transformed the economy and
society over the space of a few decades.

{{00:00:44}}
But with artificial intelligence,
what we're really seeing is the

{{00:00:47}}
beginning of the age of intelligence,
because essentially the premise

{{00:00:53}}
of is that machines can have human
levels of intelligence or beyond.

{{00:00:58}}
And what we're starting to see now is that
is already taking hold, that AI systems

{{00:01:03}}
are being integrated into the fabric
of life, into the digital ecosystem,

{{00:01:07}}
and that this is already happening.

{{00:01:09}}
This next stage of technological
evolution or revolution is

{{00:01:15}}
advancing at an exponential rate.

{{00:01:17}}
So even quicker than computing, both in
its capabilities and in its adoption,

{{00:01:23}}
which brings me to the view that it is the
most powerful general or meta technology

{{00:01:28}}
that we've ever encountered thus far.

{{00:01:37}}
One of the ways in which AI is going
to be really transformative is when

{{00:01:41}}
it comes to automating decisions.

{{00:01:44}}
And this is actually already where
you see very early applications of

{{00:01:49}}
AI being rolled out and developed and
built, for instance, in automating

{{00:01:55}}
replies to customer queries, not in.

{{00:01:57}}
At least because of the huge steps that
have been made for made in large language

{{00:02:03}}
models that allow AI systems to basically
commute, communicate in human language.

{{00:02:08}}
But when you talk about the
democratizing effects of the internet,

{{00:02:12}}
I think that's another big thing.

{{00:02:14}}
component that is so core to the
AI revolution that is that these

{{00:02:17}}
capabilities which are really capable
intelligent systems are going to be

{{00:02:23}}
available to billions of people around
the world because they are coming as

{{00:02:28}}
a software update or a hardware update
so the next generation of devices

{{00:02:33}}
that you are going to hold in our
hand are going to be optimized for AI.

{{00:02:36}}
Similarly, the software that you already
use in on your PC or your smartphone.

{{00:02:43}}
They're already being updated and
with AI's capabilities, so it is

{{00:02:49}}
just as democratizing as the internet
itself in terms of its capabilities.

{{00:03:01}}
I think that they are on par, if not
more profound, because we've already

{{00:03:08}}
been having a huge societal debate
about how profound the internet has

{{00:03:13}}
been on our society, what it's meant
for ethics, what it's meant for privacy,

{{00:03:16}}
what it's meant for a changing labor
market, but the internet is simply

{{00:03:21}}
a communications infrastructure.

{{00:03:24}}
The AI, is much more than that, right?

{{00:03:26}}
The internet is a technology or a platform
that came out of the computing revolution.

{{00:03:33}}
But again, when you talk about AI
being an intelligence revolution,

{{00:03:37}}
a meta technology that's going to
enable many other technologies, many

{{00:03:41}}
other platforms many other tools.

{{00:03:44}}
And I think that, and again,
the core philosophical point is

{{00:03:50}}
about how it's going to augment
us or automate us, because for

{{00:03:54}}
the first time we have systems.

{{00:03:56}}
that are arguably already as intelligent
as humans in certain domains.

{{00:04:01}}
It's going to profoundly change the
fabric of society and the fabric of life.

{{00:04:05}}
So I think that those debates we've had
about The internet are only going to be

{{00:04:11}}
much more pronounced in the age of AI.

{{00:04:14}}
I

{{00:04:22}}
think AI is going to play a fundamental
role, in solving global challenges.

{{00:04:27}}
Because again, if you simply think of
intelligence as the ability to gather lots

{{00:04:35}}
and lots of information and then process
it in order to make decisions, in order

{{00:04:39}}
to uncover new knowledge, then AI is
going to be a tool that expedites that.

{{00:04:46}}
ability for humanity.

{{00:04:48}}
And we already see that
it's not hypothetical.

{{00:04:51}}
in scientific research.

{{00:04:52}}
For instance, in biology, understanding
the structure of proteins has been

{{00:04:59}}
one of the most fundamental challenges
in biology because proteins are the

{{00:05:02}}
structure of life, they make up everything
known to us in the natural world, but

{{00:05:08}}
scientific research is really difficult
to understand the structure of proteins.

{{00:05:13}}
It was something that would
take a research scientist maybe

{{00:05:17}}
five to ten years to uncover the
structure of a single protein.

{{00:05:22}}
But when modelled with an AI system,
we have been able to uncover the

{{00:05:26}}
structure of 270 million proteins,
basically all the proteins known

{{00:05:33}}
to us in biology in a single shot.

{{00:05:35}}
So again, if you use these
capabilities of AI, To look at some

{{00:05:42}}
of the biggest challenges facing
humanity from disease reduction, to

{{00:05:47}}
food production, to climate change.

{{00:05:51}}
I am confident it is a capability that
is going to make those challenges.

{{00:05:57}}
Still difficult, but far easier to
untangle than as if we hadn't had AI.

{{00:06:08}}
So, the integration of AI into daily
life, whether it's in healthcare, or in

{{00:06:12}}
transport, or in education is already
reshaping human experiences, right?

{{00:06:16}}
Because one of the things I mentioned
was that these capabilities are

{{00:06:21}}
increasingly just Coming into our
lives, whether we want it or not,

{{00:06:25}}
as hardware and software updates.

{{00:06:27}}
So all of a sudden you may find that
your bank has far better financial

{{00:06:33}}
services advice because now they're
able to tap into a large language

{{00:06:38}}
model that helps them do research,
to provide a tool for a consumer.

{{00:06:43}}
personalized on their own data to
help them make the right decision

{{00:06:47}}
on something as important as
what's the right mortgage for me.

{{00:06:51}}
Similarly, if you think about how AI
is being rolled out in medicine and

{{00:06:55}}
healthcare, the fact that you already
have AI systems that are better in

{{00:07:00}}
diagnostics, perform better in diagnosing
disease than clinicians, all of a

{{00:07:05}}
sudden you democratize medical services
in a way that wasn't possible before.

{{00:07:09}}
You can just Talk to your AI doctor.

{{00:07:12}}
You don't even need to wait for that
two month appointment at the GP.

{{00:07:17}}
So I think it's gonna very quickly
and tangibly change human experience

{{00:07:25}}
through interfaces like having better
access to financial services or having

{{00:07:29}}
better access to medical services.

{{00:07:30}}
But again, the key component
is going to be who gets access.

{{00:07:35}}
Are these capabilities going to be
available to everyone around the world?

{{00:07:39}}
And I would say that probably, initially,
you're going to see that only the elite

{{00:07:44}}
few get access before it eventually
becomes democratized around the world.
