The last few years presented us with a lot of challenges. As a global community we face many ethical, social, economic, political, and environmental dilemmas. How will we re-build peace in the world and, equally important, in our inner world? The time has come to dust ourselves off, look to the future and think about what to do next. Our «house» needs to be re-built. From scratch? A smooth change? A radical change?
As we set out to re-build better, we need to think about how to lay the grounds for a new sustainable, inclusive and resilient society. In what direction should we go? How can we re-build close relationships as well as global relations to leave a better world behind? The situation calls for all of us to become architects to co-create this future. We can all take our own tool of talent, a brick of hope, and contribute to re-building.
I didn’t attend this year’s TEDxZurich in person, but Alexander Ilic’s talk about why the next personal computer will give you AI (Artificial Intelligence) superpowers caught my attention.
Smartphones have transformed the way we work, play, and learn. With Artificial Intelligence, we can build new kind of personal computers that understand the world from our perspective and can anticipate any support we need. Augmentations of the real-world can be created in a natural and assistive way. This gives the opportunity for a future where social interactions and learning remain in focus while computing disappears in the background. Alexander Ilic is a Swiss-German deep tech entrepreneur, researcher, and investor. He co-founded the ETH AI Center and was an Assistant Professor at the University of St. Gallen (HSG). Alex is experienced in bringing AI research from first demo to products for millions of consumers. He has two exits under his belts and was named“Entrepreneur of the Year” twice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
