 you know AI is the hot thing as as you probably know and it's one of the interesting aspects of that is that whereas I guess in the past in the last 20 years most AI research was done or a lot of AI research was done at the universities PhDs in in you know AI you specialize in AI you got PhDs and they could specialize in it most of them 80% of them would go into academia that is flipped completely so as of 2020 70% of all AI PhDs went into the private sector the private sector now is is but by far dominating universities in terms of cutting-edge research into AI into investment into AI whether it's Google now Microsoft and pretty much everybody else in in tech is investing heavily venture capital is investing heavily it's the one area venture capital right now that is that you could raise a lot of money with the you know this this technology is going to be embedded into software so what's called generative AI which is like the chat GPT is going to be embedded in Microsoft Office and Google Docs and Gmail and in pretty much everything I think ultimately in Siri in Alexa in everything will have ultimately this chat GPT like features every single one of the major tech companies has its own version it's not clear who you know we know of the chat GPT which is owned by Microsoft or and is embedded in Microsoft search but Google is going to come out with their own and and a Google product might even be better than the chat GPT for which is everybody is saying is absolutely amazing much better than even the version we were people making fun of a month ago the progress in this area is stunning it's accelerating of course there's already calls that this is being monopolized by big tech and a handful of corporations not control this resource and this is the most important resource in the world and we need to break up big tech as a consequence you're gonna hear a lot more of that a lot more of that and of course big tech is hated right now so there's a lot of energy around trying to break up big tech and part of that energy is gonna come from a concern about about AI and their dominance with AI and all the research money they're spending on AI but of course this is what really advances the world when private industry starts heavily invested in these kind of things heavily invested heavily investing in a technology that's when you get the real breakthrough and that's where you get the real progress and the real application for human life no is asking how he asks a super tech question some you can answer him there but you can do it at the bottom there should be a little dollar sign where you can press on that and then it'll you can follow through and and set up an account and do it it's pretty easy and pretty quick I think a lot of people in the chat right now have done that in the past so it's pretty easy to do all right so yeah keep watching the eye space keep watching the politics of it and and you know one of things to pay attention to is I think given the amount of research dollars and given the amount of research brainpower that is going into AI right now in big tech companies look for some significant major advances in the technology in the months in the months and years to come and when you start really extrapolating theoretically on what this could mean it's pretty astounding and and what scares me is that we do not have a political class we don't have a population but certainly not a political class and a population that are anyway near being able to understand this and be able to conceptualize what it means and be able to deal with this and it's much more likely that we'll get panic it's much more likely that we'll get hysteria and demonization than we will a rational response to a new technology that could change the world for the better so it's going to be really interesting because again it's not just politicians we get the politicians we deserve it's the public I don't think has a clue what AI is what it can do what it can't do what it's possible the jobs that it will indeed replace the jobs that it won't replace the educational a whole our whole educational system is gonna have to restructure a given advancements in AI many of the jobs that we have are gonna have to be restructured given the advancements in AI but given that the educational system is a government run basically how is that gonna happen what's gonna drive that restructuring what's gonna orient people towards the kind of jobs that that will exist in an AI world versus the jobs that clearly won't exist in an AI world what's gonna orient people towards the right kind of employment the right kind of jobs the right kind of education there is nothing and people are not going to discover it by by themselves so this is you know this is the time where we need real thought real focus on orienting the world around us to really a new technology that again has the potential to completely change the world in dramatic ways and relatively quickly and yet there is no energy behind that there's no excitement behind that there's no thinking behind that except the startups who are trying to apply this as quickly as possible but the consequence in a sense be damned which is exactly what they should be doing but we don't have a leadership intellectual or political that is thinking through these things and providing answers to the real questions that should be arising as a consequence of of the rise of AI and its potential into the future thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show if
