Should We Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

After waiting the shipment for around 2 days, finally my book has arrived today. The title is Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a fantastic future. It is written by Ashlee Vance. By reading the title, I guess you already have some idea what it is about. Most of the companies that I have mentioned before sound familiar, right? Elon Musk is the guy behind all of those companies. This book starts with how Ashlee Vance met Elon Musk for the first time. On the first 3 pages, Ashlee tries to define Elon Musk as an Alpha Man. He has this authentic character and extraordinary way of thinking. Elon Musk’s major fear is technology of artificial-intelligence-enhanced robot capable of destroying humans. He is concerned about his very close friend, Larry Page, Google’s CEO and cofounder who keeps improving Artificial Intelligence (AI). Since then, I have been looking at some pros and cons about AI. I think the combination of human and AI is such a perfect match. They are fulfilling each other. However, the machine computer-based work is more accurate in calculating things. The chance of making some error is getting lower every day. That’s why AI is now considered to be a core company and the most important business element. AI is basically just a tool. It needs human to tell them what to do. It is designed to make human’s job easier instead of replacing it. Some research found out that 4 out of 5 companies think that AI is creating more jobs for their company. As it is mentioned on this article, this self-learning algorithm program contributes very well to improve costumer experience. It is also creating more jobs because of the challenge that we are facing now,’how to optimize AI as a platform’. To know the answer, companies need more engineers and professional employees related on this field. http://tinyurl.com/ybactnga I guess we don’t have to worry about this for now. I will keep reading this exciting book by the way. 434 pages are still a long way to go. Stay tuned for the next post!

Some thoughts about what the future of Artificial Intelligence will be

Who is scared with the growth of artificial intelligence? If you raise your hand, you should continue to read this. I just remember like a month ago I went to EVOLAB in Brussel, and they were talking about the future of Artificial Intelligence. There were some panel-talks that worth to share. The guest-speakers are exactly professionals who works in the big companies. First of all, let’s define what Artificial Intelligence (AI) exactly means. Itis basically a self-learning algorithm that can generate cognitive knowledge. It works by developing algorithms that imitates human’s method in solving problems, and use them again accurately. The purpose of AI is to create technology that allows computer to operate in an intelligent manner to complement human tasks. Despite the technology of Artificial intelligence rapidly grows, the function of it is augmenting human job, not replacing them. Nowadays, AI is commonly used in advertising, majoring in consumer experience. There are two m...

Futuristic Event Us by Night

Us by Night is a three days design and creativity festival which was held in 23-25 November 2017 in Antwerp. Walking through the hall while entering the exhibition, I could already feel the futuristic atmosphere. There were some LED Billboards in enormous size that kept showing constantly changed graphic design. There were 3 stages every hour from 17.00 – 23.25 was full of guest speakers who works at top 60 creatives industry around the world. They would share interesting story about their jobs in design. Besides that, the exhibition was also very interesting to me. The exhibition consisted night market, play arcade games on massive screen, tattoo place, and virtual reality experience. The first panel talk was from Creative Belgium. According to them, design is not about how things look like, design is all about how things work. In this session, they also shared some tips and trick how to get your inspiration and how to be creative. Another interesting story came from Isaiah Toot...
