What do you get when you give a design tool a digital nervous system? Computers that improve our ability to think and imagine, and robotic systems that come up with (and build) radical new designs for bridges, cars, drones and much more — all by themselves. Take a tour of the Augmented Age with futurist Maurice Conti and preview a time when robots and humans will work side-by-side to accomplish things neither could do alone.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

Nobody will believe me, but I said almost the same thing, 40 years ago, after I bought my first IBM PC.. After using it for a while, I cam up with what I call my 2nd Razor, as in Occam's Razor. "The next phase in the evolution of mankind with be a human-computer symbiosis." Those who were knowledgeable enough to understand the words, laughed at me. The rest of the people just said :"Huh?" As of today, we are very far along the road to that status. With the internet, I have the total k knowledge learned the whole human race since mankind started to speak; which was the beginning of accumulation of knowledge through oral tradition. Now it is all no more than a few seconds away. Yesterday, a friend told me he had leukemia. I knew vaguely what it was, ten minutes later I had read three authoritative articles about it, and had a pretty good idea about what he was and would be going through, depending upon the type that he had. The next step in our technology will be to carry a device in our hip pocket which we can pull out ask, "what it leukemia? and I will hear an explanation, with occasional pauses, when it will ask "is this sufficient for your purposes or would you like additional details. The step beyond that will when that communications is through neural links rather than by voice. Such a device could be implanted like my pacemaker, b but I doubt that it will because like cell phones, new and more powerful ones appear every year or so. Implantation my be a option if one were willing to put up with periodic replacements,
The exponential growth alone with AI should heed warning. Every age off progression comes with consequences, a cause and effect if you will. Each of which IMO are also exponential in nature Unknowns, irreversible changes and my favorite the snowball affect. to make such predictions would be careless and When someone says how and why I'll be living as well who or what is decideing such things, no matter how appropriate it may seem can only be counterproductive at best. BTW, most companies unfortunately care only when your not buying something.
Its all good until you give AI the ability to directly effect the outside world, after this point we are doomed.
In the old days, I was concerned that computer-driven robots would take our manufacturing jobs.
Now I see they will not only make our stuff for us, they will invent and design our stuff for us too, perhaps better than we can ourselves.
I hope our future human Inventors won't feel too inadequate and become discouraged.
Only God Almighty Is the Alpha and the Omega.
Jesus Is the Only way to God. Repent Time is short 💜
Imagine future spaceships……. bruhhh we next level…. legit futurama.. what if different species reached a maximum intelligence and we all met up… imagine?? the year 2400
never ask a computer what to do about climate change! no doubt the answer it would reach is: "kill all humans"
I saw this video a while back, probably around the time it was published, and really liked it because it blew my mind. Then, I saw it again today since I had to write an essay about TED-talks. And it did not age well… There is something in this talk that makes me uncomfortable.
First of all, is he trying to sell something? He barely talked about the technologies themselves in favour of 3D renders and theoretical applications, as if he was trying to convince investors. It felt somewhat dishonest. there was also a bunch of fancy sci-fi UI designs and cool shapes distorting ind the background, but why? If your subject is as interesting as you pretend it is, why do you need all of this? I makes me think a lot about Elon Musk, especially in the way the technology is presented, almost as magical.
(And what's that thing about farming instead of fabricating and aggregating instead of extracting? this feels more like corporate green marketing, and less like a scientist talking about his field of research).
That being said I'm not against being excited about new tech. I understand that AI will be a turning point in our civilisation at some point and it is important to understand what it can do, for exemple optimising physical and computational designs, intuitive man/machine interfaces, rationalising complex data, etc. It WILL revolutionise some sectors, and getting to understand or even develop this at a personal level could become important.
But there are also limits to these technologies, which he does not address. As a commenter brought up, at least for now, if you do not design your constraints precisely, you will end up with something that is not only hard to manufacture, but also terribly suboptimal (I saw someone talk about truss design in a plane and the fact that it could add a lot of weight compared to currently used technics). Moreover, information technologies are badly regulated these days, and a tool as powerful as AI can/already leads to questionable practices (ever heard of GPT-3? it's worth the look although a bit scary). This talk feels strongly oriented as it lacks nuances.
To make it short, I am mad at this video because it is misleading, not very educational, and not worthy, in my mind, of what TED-talks claims to be (it should be an expert's opinion, not an ad for engineering companies). Also, the public opinion regarding AI technologies has matured a lot since then, and is much more critical than it was three years ago. additionally, it could explain my strong reaction.
BTW, my opinion is FAR from perfect and probably overlooks many other aspects that deserves to be covered. I could also have said things that are straight out false. However, it felt necessary for me to nuance what was said in this video, and it is was most likely not a bad thing to write this.
fighting climate change failure has NOTHING to do with cognitive thinking, BASIC HUMAN GREED on the other hand…
The speaker's grim facial expression and grave tone of speech ooze depression and sadden my computer screen. There's no true enthusiasm in his energy even though he's supposed to be showcasing a "bright future for the creatives"…
Put tracking chips in barbie dolls!!! Yes! It'll save billions.

This is exactly what the CEO of skynet will say
I want my car to be as German as they go 🙂
Anyone else think ai is going too far and it might turn for the worst in the future?
I can't wait to engage an AI about equality. Exactly who benefits from our economic system? The answer definitely won't be the working class or even the lower class. It's time for a change.
So far I'm not enjoying the "autonomy" I have turn signals in my truck that keep blinking after I turn the switch off. I have headlights in that same truck that refuse to turn off when I turn the switch off. What we're making are machines that second guess us and that's not what tools are supposed to do. I do not want a machine that argues with me when I tell it to do something. I want that machine to do what I say when I say it. In the past when a machine failed to do that the word we used to describe it was broken. That meant a linking rod had come loose or a set screw had backed off or a wire had corroded. That's not what's happening now but the end result is the same as if it were. I don't want my machines doing what the designer wants I want them doing what I want that is why I paid money for them in the fist place.
To paraphrase, `what a wonderful world‘ !
That bulkhead would be much heavier, as it is a truss design, not a stressed skin design. So how is it better?
Salesman: "Computer, design a bulkhead." Computer: "Done." Salesman: "Is your bulkhead better"? Computer: "Yes." Salesman: "Amazing"!
Computer programmer: "I can make it say anything. Now pay me."
Whatever can be used for evil, WILL be used for evil.
Praise the Omnisiah.
Please, for me, create an AI designed acoustic-electric guitar !!,!!
As usual fearmongerers spread their Luddite ways in the comments 🙄.
Calm down Karens, the terminator and matrix movies won't happen.
Designed by computer this was 4 years ago.
2 years later, and I HATE AI which where I interact with it (on the phone) AI is horrible, aggravating, and something I will deal with as little as is possible. We're going to move into a robot controlled life. Arggh!
For my understanding, its' like dogs our best friends and in the future the robots our best friends. ^_^
Al good and wel…very interesting. But what about jobs? People apparently NEED jobs to survive. We all know it shouldn't be the case anymore…but still, it is… The only people he speaks of, are people like designers, architects and engineers. But I hear nothing about manual labor. Is everyone going to be a designer/architect/engineer?
