AK at a WEF panel.
What he is really saying: let us develop AI unimpeded so that we can RA as many high-cost, inefficient humans as possible as soon as possible.

Yes, of course, AI can be made to serve all of humanity. Will that be allowed to happen? Never under the political and economic systems we have in place for the past few thousand years.
AI means different things to different people, and there is no agreement yet on what it really is. IBM's efforts on "AI" has always focused on its potential applications in the business world...automated analysis of medical data, for instance, to facilitate diagnosis, treatment and dr-g development. Automated analysis of credit card transactions to spot fraud activity.
In other words, the elimination of human effort.
Businessmen and investors aren't funding all this stuff to benefit mankind or benefit the world or anything like that. They never were. They want to dispense with human labor, just as they always have. But we already have masses of college-educated people who wouldn't make it as grocery store clerks. How many kids do you see these days that can't do basic arithmetic without a calculator? Who can't write a code segment, or design a basic circuit, or analyze a basic engineering or science problem, without calling on the AI of the day?
It's food for thought.
'The "value proposition" of AI is the elimination of human effort. That is the value proposition as far as businessmen and investors are concerned.'
please learn what 'AI' is for Christ's sake
if there truly was 'AI' wouldn't it replace the NON-CREATIVE investors and businessmen first
'There is some panic about AI in the western hemisphere. The west is waking up in shock that the brown people are smart too.'
great, then they can stop stealing their technology and science
and stop flooding their countries with their 'winners'
Just an excuse to blame China for what was ALWAYS a bubble/scam https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/
There is some panic about AI in the western hemisphere. The west is waking up in shock that the brown people are smart too. The recent DeepSeek release is shocking the west in many ways.
Some food for thought: Can a human society survive without purpose? Without work?
The "value proposition" of AI is the elimination of human effort. That is the value proposition as far as businessmen and investors are concerned. AI is the new "outsourcing", the new "rightsizing", and the new "offshoring". It offers once more the possibility of labor arbitrage...the gain of profit without effort, and the gain of profit without risk from those nasty, bothersome human beings.
No more studying in school. No more R&D. No more labor. Dream up what you want, have "AI" print the results on a 3D printer, and email or ship the result to whoever will pay.
There was once a Star Trek TNG movie ("ST: Insurrection") that showed a village of people (the Baku) who lived incredibly long lives due to the background radiation in their star system. They lived without advanced technology, but were amazing artisans. Captain Picard asked them why they lived the way they do.
"We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man..."
Who cares. Notice IBM stock barely budged yesterday during the rout? Why? Because IBM is not even a player in the AI space anymore.
They're puffing up a bubble, deliberately, by hyping up very old stuff.
