In more interviews, Geoffrey Hinton says he suddenly realized that the struggle between humanity and AI could be epic. I heard him say the following on TV yesterday: "I am just a scientist who suddenly realized that these things are getting smarter than us... that we should worry seriously about how we stop these things getting control over us."

It could be possible that Mr. Geoffrey Hinton's media appearance more frequently recently than usual might have been related to the currently on-going tight economic competition between ChatGPT (sponsered by Microsoft) and BARD (sponsored by Google), both are AI generated content in the conversational area. But I can't say for sure that, I have no additional information to that. I don't know also Mr. Geoffrey Hinton.

But here in the following video is another "unscripted" interview with him, where he points to the reasons for the prominence of AI (and potential consequences).

One may pay attention to just 3 points he raised in this interview.

The exponential rise of the computing power of modern computers, which were not there before just 10 years or so (and still not stopped from growing).

The similarly exponential rise of data in terms of volume, variety and velocity, known as the 3 Vs. The technical term BigData was introduced in the daily parlance of the common persons of the world very much recently.

The third point one should pay attention to is that even the man who is acknowledged as "Godfather of AI" has admitted that no human can ever compete with ChatGPT (which is made by human, at the very least). We can create something but we can't compete with our own creation afterwards, this is the central message for me.

At one time in the past I commented something according to logic and then the PM of Ethiopia also commented in the same line of thinking, but then I was accused of advicing the PM of Ethiopia.

I am not someone who could have adviced the PM of any country, in a world that logic dictates many things arround us that sort of a claim shouldn't have arised in the first place.

I commented about the power of data before just few weeks and now the it seems the whole world is busy about just AI. AI is the outcome of data processing, but for many in here the meaning of data-processing must also be very alien idea. The barking dogs can accuse me of advising world leaders now, according to their own claims' logic.

Mereja forum is filled, unfortunately, with just barking dogs, dwarf-mads, ቆርቆሮ ራስ ሁላ, and for such kinds of dogs the idea of data-processing is very much an alien idea.

Why is AI in the mouths of every policy makers, business-leaders, scientists etc around the world anyway?

AI is nothing but an automation, and we have seen many innovations around automation before, why is this one so different?

This is the core idea, we have been automating in many different fields and human endeavors but those automations revolved around activity automation.

AI is not (only) activity automation but mainly about decision automation (which is also called the decision making process).

That is why AI is poised to make a tectonic shift in the whole of human history and its endeavor.

"Automated Decision Making = ADM" means AI.

The dogs can keep barking like the likes of Messay Mokonnen (?) that boring guy from Anchor or something youtube, but the world is moving and moving fast.

Speaking of efficiency (productivity) the production of Injera (Budena) in the Lammi Kura Factory could be overtaken by robots very soon, another outcome of data-processing technologies.

If you want to remain relevant in the time ahead, then the only thing you could possibly do is try to keep learning and be able to compute to some level with machine of the high-end!

You remind me of Ethosh and Mamo Killo. Are you in anyway related to either one? . Kkkkk

What else proof should I provide to those who can never learn something in their lives?



Man can argue all (or at least 13 of the 15 of) these trending technologies are basically based on data processing, specifically analytical processing of data at their core.

If you are not in any of these technologies, then you can also be said, safely, that you have lost in the games.

We are reaping what we have been sowing over the last half a century in Ethiopia today:

-massive unemployment and associated features, like explosion of criminality, communal conflict, poverty, lack of education, deterioration of the available education system in the country and a rising population, which could pose even a more risk to the society today and the country's future.

- Ethiopian generation of students of the second half of the 20th century just focused on enriching themselves and their close associates, like family members and other forms of cronyism and now the result is a foregone conclusion.


What is the world saying about education and access to information:

The currency of tomorrow isn’t what you think: It’s not cold hard cash, precious metals, land or even cryptocurrency – it’s data. In the very near future, every company in the world will either buy or sell data as this corporate asset continues to gain value.

But, it’s not enough to have access to vast amounts of data, you need to understand it and use it.

The promise of AI is that knowledge gained from applying analytics to the wealth of data that is available today will enhance any decision-making process with additional intelligence, helping us produce quicker, more effective outcomes - Microsoft

Did I read this article when I posted this topic in here? Elias Kifle should have an answer, if he is not already in the bushes liberating his people from "existential threats". My friend, if you are still around and reading this post, then please be kindly informed the true source of existential threat in the current world order for any body is lack of education.

You can liberate your people or even the whole Ethiopia from what ever or who ever, unless you can also give them adequate education in due time, then you have already lost and lost squarely.

take the time and read this article, if you can even understand the core message of it.

- Bymaking 10% more data accessible, a typical Fortune 1000 company will see a $65 million increase in net income.
- ABig Data Executive Survey by New Vantage Partners found 85% of businesses want to be data driven but only 37% have been successful.
- Onlya miniscule portion of available data is currently being analyzed so AI could really help here.

DDT,

This so obvious. Ethiopia should not be left behind the world. To have an equal stand, Ethiopia must go through fundamental transformation. The country must have stable governance system and constitution that create conducive environment for engagements like this. You are putting the cart before the horse. Citizens wants to go where the world is going, but PP-OLF/TPLF system is a hindrance to the ambition of any modern man. The road-block has to be cleared. Please also know, there are predators out there to by sensitive national data, they can easily steal it just they did with Birr.

Says someone who has obviously condoned the act of putting around the half of Amhara children out of school in the name of liberating them, as if we were unable to predict his/her answer to such taff questions about education.

[Abere]

It is the PP-OLF that went to Amhara and invaded, looted, destroyed their infrastructure ( schools, health care facilities, banks, etc.). Amhara people. What options do Amhara people other than fighting back. Blame your PP-OLF not others.

When you preach about the power of Data, your OLF which already allowed foreign predators to breach national currency Birr, it will not handle data breach or it breach privacy of citizens as it is posting phone AI imitated conversations out in public.

The political and governance infrastructure is #1 prerequisite. Right now, the country has no Constitution and No government - in practical terms.

This guy (Solomon Mulugeta) brought the issue I raised before two years in here to the broadcasting media without giving me (DefendTheTruth) the credit I deserve for that.
