Transcripts
welcome back March of the machines the
challenges facing our world are growing
all the time how do we build stronger
economies with equal opportunities for
all how do we build a sustainable world
for generations to come how do we
protect our cities and harness the power
of technology for our common benefit
Humanity has always been good at Forward
Thinking inequality sustainability
urbanization world is changing today we
stand on the brink of a fourth
Industrial Revolution one that will
transform the way we work the way we
live and even what makes us human
there's a group of technologies that are
combining to create transformation
across almost every industry at the
moment and those Technologies include
things like artificial intelligence 3D
printing robotics big data and then some
things in on the sort of Life Sciences
front in terms of genetics and and
Medical Imaging and that these things
are sort of combining in a way that's
bringing about a host of transformative
changes across Industries I would
describe the fourth IND Industrial
Revolution actually quite similarly to
how I would describe the past three and
that is technology that leads to massive
gains in productivity and massive gains
in productivity mean substantial
improvements to everyone's quality of
life the world has been through
revolutions before the Advent of
mechanization then Electronics then the
digital Revolution all profoundly
changed the world's economies but this
revolution could be even more disruptive
I think in previous revolutions you
could really talk about them as
Industrial revolu Solutions what was
changing was how things were made
factories industry often heavy industry
in particular here you're seeing
transformation across really a whole
range of not just industry but services
and and the creation of whole new
business models that didn't exist
before what's different a little bit
about this particular Revolution is that
it gets into a whole range of things
that people only thought were ever only
possible for humans to do jobs that work
human jobs before aren't going to be
human jobs anymore at the heart of this
fourth Revolution is artificial
intelligence the ability of machines to
match and perhaps one day surpass the
cognitive ability of their human
creators what's happening now is a big
deal it is making a big difference in
the way people live uh the way people
interact with each other it is sort of
obliterating distance it is in some
cases removing humans from tasks that we
once thought were the sole province of
the human mind these analytic tasks that
we thought only a human brain could do
we're suddenly finding that algorithms
can do that machines can do these are
early days in the Brave New World of
artificial intelligence but the
potential benefits are vast what are
some of the liberating benefits of
artificial intelligence they're actually
a lot if you think about something just
like driverless cars autonomous vehicles
which is one use of AI that people are
talking about that could have a really
liberating impact on a lot of people's
lives if you think about older people
who can no longer Drive they're very
shut in their houses right now very
dependent on others for transportation
with driverless cars they would be able
to go about their daily life and then
you're seeing with big data that this
may have a profound impact on drug
development that you'll find new
Pharmaceuticals being developed at a
faster rate to cure diseases because the
computers are essentially able to sort
through the data and pick up connections
that otherwise would be missed for
health in particular the advantages of
machine learning data science are
immense those have an incredible chance
to address very both very infrequent
diseases and diseases which affect
different parts of the population very
differently if we're going to cure
cancer it's probably going to come
through data science but there is
potentially a darker side to this
technological Revolution one which could
profoundly change the world of work as
we know it it'll cost jobs in the areas
that see the biggest advancements first
a good example of that that is feasible
over the near term is truck driving you
have self-driving trucks you don't need
the 3.5 million truck drivers that you
have right now in the
US what is key as part of this
revolution as productivity goes up as
the economy continues to evolve and new
jobs are created you need to make sure
those displaced workers are given the
skills to move into these new positions
but that's what's key will all of them
be no but I think the key point is you
need to make sure if you've lost 3.5
million jobs in one sector how do you
create more than that in another sector
and I think think in past industrial
revolutions that's what we've seen
happen and hopefully thanks for
