Why AI will never replace humans


Why AI will never replace humans | Alexandr Wang

Alexandr Wang founded Scale while at MIT - studying mathematics and computer science, he discovered the potential of AI and decided to start a company to help customers build long-term AI strategies by providing the highest quality AI data and tools. 

Prior to enrolling at MIT, Alex worked at Quora and Addepar where he noticed the inefficiencies of developing AI infrastructure. He recognized that he could accelerate companies’ abilities to deploy AI by combining a machine learning-powered data labeling system with human insight to ensure models are trained on high-quality, trusted datasets. 

In four years and under Alex's leadership, Scale AI went from a data labeling startup to a platform providing AI infrastructure for any business looking to accelerate their AI strategy. The company has grown to a $7bn valuation, serving hundreds of customers across multiple industries including clients such as Instacart, Brex, OpenAI, Toyota, Etsy, U.S. Army and Samsung. 

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Quantum Computing - The Next Revolution


Michio Kaku: Quantum computing is the next revolution

Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks through the evolutionary journey of quantum computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era. Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into parallel universes, which boosts their computational power exponentially. They could revolutionize agriculture, energy, and medicine, solving complex problems like creating efficient fertilizers, achieving fusion energy, and modeling diseases at the molecular level.

The race between major tech companies and intelligence agencies to actualize this power is intense, as they could redefine industries and even global power structures if they succeed.

The endeavor isn’t without challenges; we’ve yet to create a fully functional quantum computer. But Kaku envisions a future where quantum computers unravel complex equations, potentially shedding light on profound cosmic mysteries. 

Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study as well as New York University (NYU).
