Our world will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years
It could be heaven or it could be hell
The future is better than we think …*

DATA every-where/thing
CLOUD everything
SMART everything
CONNECTED everything
COMPUTE anything
MAKE anything
TRANSACT anything
SEE everything
Data is the new oil, and Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity
AI: Computer systems that turn information and data into KNOWLEDGE
(Demis Hassabis, CEO, DeepMind)
MACHINES THAT CAN HEAR, SEE, SPEAK, LEARN… THINK?
“Machine learning is the science of giving computers the ability to learn and
find insights without explicitly programming the machines on what to do”
“Deep learning (aka deep structured learning or hierarchical learning) is a part of machine
learning methods. Most modern deep learning models are based on artificial neural networks”
Smart everything, everywhere: mostly IA (narrow AI)
‘Take X, add AI’ (Kevin Kelly)
Landscape of Human Competence (Moravec, Tegmark)
Technology is a great servant but a terrible master
"Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right (or the power) to do and what is the right thing to do”
adapted from Potter Stewart
Security? Data Protection? Privacy? Digital Rights?
Governance? Accountability? Regulation?
IoT, IA/AI: We are building a new META-INTELLIGENCE
Social Contract? Ethics? Values?
Sustainability?
DIGITAL ETHICS: the difference between doing whatever technological progress will
allow us to do, and putting human happiness and societal flourishing first at all times
We need to invest as much in humanity as we invest in technology
Humanity ☯ Technology
HI ☯ AI
Algorithms Androrithms
Data and Information
is not Knowledge*
is not Understanding
is not Wisdom
is not Purpose
“We are least aware of what our minds do best. The most difficult things for machines
to emulate are those that are unconscious” (Moravec, Minsky et al)
Would we WANT machines to ‘emulate the unconscious’?
Humans ≠ Machines*
Smart Machines ≠ Human
Anything that can be digitized or automated, will be: the end of routine is near!
If you can describe your job, it will probably be automated!
Anything that cannot be digitized or automated will become much more valuable!
The EXTERNALITIES of exponential technological growth are becoming an equally big concern
Ethics is knowing the difference
between what you have a right
(or the power) to do and what is
the right thing to do
Not sustainable
Exponential technological progress will force us to expand our current economic logic
Post-capitalism?
IA/AI: Focus less on increased efficiency and more on doing entirely new things!
The Future: awesome humans (HI) on-top of amazing technology (AI)
