The false promises of AI—and what’s coming next | Alvin Wang Graylin | TEDxBerlin

Sobre este vídeo

A dangerous misunderstanding is pushing the world to race for achieving AGI. In this provacative talk, Alvin examines the underlying motivations of why AI labs globally are behaving so recklessly with such a transformative technology. And more importantly, what the people of the world needs to do to ensure we nudge the future towards the positive outcome we deserve. Alvin Wang Graylin is a global technology strategist, author of Our Next Reality (Hachette), and Chairman of the Virtual World Society. Over a 35+ year career spanning AI, semiconductors, immersive computing, and cybersecurity, he has held senior leadership roles at HTC, Intel, IBM, and Trend Micro, founded four venture-backed startups, and invested in over 100 early-stage technology companies. Graylin is a Digital Fellow at Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute Center for China Analysis, Professor of AI/Tech Policy at the University of Washington and a lecturer at MIT. He advises governments, multilateral organizations, and Fortune 100 leadership teams on AI policy, global governance, and the socioeconomic implications of increasingly capable systems. Having lived and operated extensively in both the United States and China, with dual master’s degrees from MIT, he brings a rare cross-cultural perspective to questions of bilateral cooperation, technology competition, and the institutional design choices shaping security, prosperity, and public trust in the AI era. He is a frequent keynote speaker and media commentator on emerging technology and public policy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
