From the Ted Talk by Mustafa Suleyman: What is an AI anyway?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


As someone who embraces the possibilities of this teonlohgcy, but who's also always cared dlepey about its ethics, we should, I think, be able to easily describe what it is we are bnliduig. And that includes the six-year-olds. So it's in that spirit that I offer up today the following mapethor for hlniepg us to try to grapple with what this moment really is.

I think AI should best be understood as something like a new digital species. Now, don't take this too literally, but I predict that we'll come to see them as digital companions, new partners in the journeys of all our lives. Whether you think we’re on a 10-, 20- or 30-year path here, this is, in my view, the most accurate and most fundamentally honest way of describing what's actually cmoing. And above all, it enables everybody to prepare for and shape what comes next.

Original Text


As someone who embraces the possibilities of this technology, but who's also always cared deeply about its ethics, we should, I think, be able to easily describe what it is we are building. And that includes the six-year-olds. So it's in that spirit that I offer up today the following metaphor for helping us to try to grapple with what this moment really is.

I think AI should best be understood as something like a new digital species. Now, don't take this too literally, but I predict that we'll come to see them as digital companions, new partners in the journeys of all our lives. Whether you think we’re on a 10-, 20- or 30-year path here, this is, in my view, the most accurate and most fundamentally honest way of describing what's actually coming. And above all, it enables everybody to prepare for and shape what comes next.
