When I was little we were memorizing multiplication and division tables. These kids are learning about neural networks.

The farmer words at the end of the video summaries it perfectly: You never know what the future holds but you have to be ready for it.

Cool. But can we talk about the old guy's sweet flight simulator setup?

5 minutes in and I can say I'm not frightened of AI I'm frightened of the motives of those who control it! We should all have our own personal decentralised AI.

If the old guy is my grandfather, I think we would be talking about technologies all day long. Nice video!

I am 41, I wish I had had the education those kids were getting. The string activity was awesome to understand how connected we are

I wish this video was around when I was doing a school presentation on this 😅 Thank you Wired!

I want to watch this again in 20 years

At the start i thought he was gonna say “play despacito” 😂

on one hand: This whole video feels like "Dr. Frankenstein asks public what they think of his monster" but on the other hand: This is pretty spectacular.

People can be for or against this technology but one thing is guaranteed.-- It's here and it's here to stay.

I want to become like that old man when I grow up.

It is not a question if AI is good or bad. It is a question of using it in a good or bad way. Another thing is many people resist change of any type. Resisting change means that those people will be totally unable to cope when the change becomes everywhere.

When I was 7, we owned a VCR and used one in class, that was 14 years ago im 21, now im streaming 4K video to my VR headset, needless to say, we've made exponential leaps forward.

“When you don’t know what you can’t see, you almost don’t know you need help.” That is fairly profound.

Reminds me of what I was doing with the TI-86 back in 2001. I was writing a graphing calculator program that ran completely on if then statements and get key feature. Got so big I had to overclock my graphing calculator for it to keep up. It was for electronics engineering. Would take the number of components in a circuit let you input all of the data you knew and would turn around and calculate all of the voltage current resistance and phase angle of all components up to ten parallel series or series parallel

I LOVE that old guy at the beginning of this documentary! So nice to see people that destroy stereotypes!

Insightful film ! Also loved how all the characters were brought together at the end !

Actually I was fully involved with entirely open market self driving cars on open public road back in the early 90's and was extremely effective, effective, and far ahead of where it is now but then the entire project was scrapped and went 100% back to the drawing board. Only now getting close to catching up to what once was before.

My favorite UKposts video that I have ever seen, period. Thank you WIRED

Love it! That's why I teach kids between 9 and 12 how to code... Educating the next generation

Technology looks beautiful in a documentary, when you try to learn it's a job

Kind of miss a part where the possible downsides like automated weapon systems etc are explained in a bit more detail.

If you really dig in deeper to find A.I's and machine learning reaching capabilities then they're really greater than us but always in specific sense. They doesn't posses capability to be more general like human but they outperform humans by incredible power in given specific tasks.

"I could spend all day in here", O RLY, have you seen Black Mirror episode San Junipero?

“If twitter was a real place, it would be a terrible place to live” 🤣 (@37:50)

"new forms of cinematic creativity" yea thats a good way of putting it. lmfao

Yeah, lets give kids existential crisis for a documentary video.

Hey remember when technology was suppose to ease our workload enough for a 4 hour workday?

We live in a marvelous world. I totally loved the intro of the 70 year old gentlemen enjoying his VR flight simulator.

Wired, You are super hero's for doing this, Do more video on certain brands like Google how they are using AI next

"I dont care how much we grew till now, all i care how much we will grow in future"

"I'm sorry, Dave ..."

This is incredible. The driverless car is the peak of real world AI

30:50 "... but it can also be used to create [bubbles] that only give us certain information, it can be used to monitor our behavior, sell our personal information. You can imagine it going to insurance compainies that look at our searches and deny us coverage." None of that is hypothetical. All of that is already happening currently, and has been for some time now.

This video was recommended to all of us by AI

A well spent 40 mins. Great video.

wired, please do more similar videos. The examples inside are super useful

*70 years old guy in the video* : I actually have 5 desktops 4 laptops 2 Kindles and an iPad I have Amazon aLexa I've had her for a couple of years now. *me* :

14:33, sweet little cameo by Benedict Cumberbatch.

It is interesting how high profile managers, CEOs, big corporation figures and similar people (and of course technically educated people owned by before mentioned people) are the only ones enthusiastic about AI.

This is amazing. I actually confuse if I take the AI course or business related course.

You may grow old, but don't let your mind get old.

self drive cars are not yet a product Elon Musk: Hold my TESLA

I dig your Sun Microsystems coaster . company was way ahead of it's time i.e. opensolaris, zones , dtrace, zfs ,java, virtualbox . rip sun

15:30 .. That looks a bit odd with such a big screen attached...

I love A.I., and the things that it actually already is used in now, and do look forward to seeing what the potentials will be in our future. Now for the "But". But I only worry that we as humans let it do things we use to do fully and independently, that literally we improved on doing over time. Like driving, flying, cooking. To where that if humans essentially let AIs fully take over and do to where we eventually reach a point where AI does all the time, and humans no longer even learn do themselves much less improve the skill doing. Look what happens with auto pilots in planes and a malfunction happened, the end result was those pilots didn't know how to power off the auto-pilot Plus the auto-pilot essentially fought against the pilots trying to correct the danger. The pilots also couldnt do the override fast enough either. Needless to say they weren't abled to right the situation, and all people on that flight perished. What happens if some malfunction happens, and people have in some way not learned some necessary information, learn and perfect the hypothetical malfunction, and all it msy have taken is knowing where an emergency brake, or regular break is located and depress that lever..... ....I dont know if what Im getting at makes sense, but ya....

4:05, that robot has more emotional expression than me

The activities of equipments, objects or machines imbedded with AI do look fascinating and interesting also wonderful we may liken them or it to a growing baby whose development is related to the environment including humans getting the opportunity of growth interestingly and reasonably the AI has to grow or perfect through repetitions of an activity or activities.

@34:34 does anyone know what app that is?

Kids are way wiser and have more common sense than adults. They say it is creepy. Agreed!!

I DON'T WANT the goal of my life to be about "productivity" and "efficiency" ! I WANT the focus of MY life to be about personal fulfillment. I agree with Jamie Isbitt below: AI is not scary - The blinkered idiots who are fanatically pursuing AI are scary! Tech companies are awash with money and egotistical demi-gods, meanwhile families are depending on food banks, and the homeless are begging in the streets.

Any mechanics here??? What happens when you open a sealed unit? You end up replacing more than expected. You can maintenance to accessories and exterior parts but if sealed unit is damaged you replace it.

I’m really interested in how a self-driving car would behave in a situation where loss of life is inevitable: like choosing between the safety of its passengers or the safety of pedestrians or those in other vehicles. Like, what would a good answer to this question even look like?

Thanks for having a non agenda based video its refreshing to find real journalism in this world!

When I can sit down, and get Stone with an AI Machine. I'll be impressed. It can roll the joints.

@33:22 I'm the only one who shaked there mouse really fast to see if it worked on there mac and was shoked when it worked.

okay i have respect for the old guy with the jet flight pc machine, thats beyond our gaming levels i mean like at that dudes gaming tower 0:40

"We are creating AI to save us *time* ." Unless the end goal is us trying to understand our universe better, we aren't really going to have anything else to do.We humans need to stay busy because we're just sort of *here* Like the animals around us, we don't really have a set purpose. We just "go with the flow" and try to live a happy life. It'll be interesting to see what humans are doing once AI is doing our menial labor, and possibly even performing tasks like those performed in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; "the answer to the question of the universe is 42".

I already build the future in my head

Having watched a few videos about this now, the speakers in this video didn't make sufficient distinction between machine learning and true AI when giving examples.

I can not waiting for this world with ai.it soo pretty！！

tonot include Tesla on the self driving segment is a travesty

Some of this people are definitely too optimistic about AI, they don’t get the bigger picture nor the implications in the future of less privileged countries that are not US. Some of these people live in a bubble in Silicon Valley.

Amazing and inspiring...

A very informative video. Thanks!

We're literally living in the stone age and working on how to make fire. Exciting and terrifying times ahead.

My problem with ai like Sophia, is that it makes it feel like a scam :P Sophia has very clearly been programmed beforehand and "her" creators has punched in what to answer in that particular interview. And there might be ai in there, but how they present it, seems like they're trying to us believe she is something, which she clearly isn't. I mean, take video games... Calling the baddies "ai" with their pretty basic movement and decisions in fine. None of us call the characters in the cutscene for ai. Sophia feels like a cutscene.

So, as I watched another doc on AI, I began to develop some hope that at least people will still have farming to fall back on...

It's fascinating to see how people react to certain things in certain places. Here in India if you talk about ai with children they will about it all day.

this video is just trying to convice me about the good stuff of AI I would prefer more of a video which gives me both the good and the bad stuff that can come up and let me decide on my own thank u :P

I think people are mixing up regular algorithms and machine learning with artificial inteligence

@23:25 can somebody tell me where is this located

34:30 Which app is that?

7:03, the transition of power isn't that smooth. Machine: give me that steering wheel, you imprecise human dumb driver, can't you see you are 0.298 mm off course?!!!

*Those control Skynet, Control the Universe* Us China Russia : _Heavy Breathing_

19:55 can't believe it soos irl

I 💖 innovations in design & technology (I’d be a hypocrite not to) - but, like every new invention, it’s how things are used & who’s behind it (in control).

@13:54 *NOT HOTDOG*

I've got the feeling, that I'm being programmed by AI.

Decent report. Thanks!

16:09 sounds like the song in Portal 2 called Halls of Science 4. Anyone else think so?

The new WIll Smith movie Gemini Man is all about this as well as his classic I-Robot lol

I'm too blind to drive and a self driving car would mean independence for me

I hope al can help me on learning things.

Disqppointed in the metaphor for neural network as social network. And machine learning as learning through a number of examples so large that no human could process is fine but there must be more to it.

Great documentary, cant wait till 2029!

Bruh im only 22 and dident see a tv till i was 15 We was poor my dude

Amazing Documentary:)

Kung magkakaroon tayo ng automated car mababago ang batas natin sa traffic just incase maka aksidente ang auto pilot car saan isisi sa car manufacture o sa driver.

It says that with the help of A.I ones life can be richer and one's lifespan can be increased... But we are living in a world where radiation is there, infact our mobiles generates radiation because of which some minor problems are happening with peoples so how, How A.I. can increase the life span...? I've searched about that in web but doesn't got any useful information.

this makes me need to watch more & more about AI

this video was awesome. thank's for sharing this.

Super cool documentary!

This is so sad. Alexa play classical music

Can you program an Ai to sell drugs for you and bring back the profits? And would it be a felony or will your Ai thingy just be like confiscated or something? Like jailed but for robots, so like a storage. Asking for a friend.

11 mins in and i have a fundamental issue. if cameras are capturing 24 fps and the rc car is accelerating and deccelerating than how can the ai quantify the speed at which it is traveling. I would assume by using a camera with an unvaried shutter speed would be the reason as to why the rc cars can not keep on the track. scale this up to larger cars at faster speeds and then we are asking for processing power out of reach. the ai needs to read the motion blur to determine its speed to adjust the camera speed to keep up with the acceleration

You could argue that intelligence is, by definition, not artificial. What is called AI is really just sophisticated technology but certainly not intelligence as that involves love.

This is like Naruto when he clones himself to learn faster.

Another way to say “productivity and efficiency” is to say, “we can make more money, more profit, if we can just eliminate these human beings.”
