My last book was in two thousand and sixteen called Technology Versus Humanity.
2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:11,199.999
And the subtitle, which was kind of strange at that time, was The Coming Clash Between Humans and Machines.
3
00:00:11,449.999 --> 00:00:14,679.998
and this is what we have today we have a clash between humans and machines.
4
00:00:14,689.998 --> 00:00:20,719.999
So the only way that we can really fix this problem is by changing the underlying economic paradigm.
5
00:00:21,299.999 --> 00:00:29,569.997
the current paradigm was about growth, profit, jobs, power, military, So all technology has these kind of angles.
6
00:00:29,929.997 --> 00:00:43,217.615
And as you can see, the big AI companies, they are struggling with the power and military discussion, so now we have to look at this and ask if we want a better future, it's not enough to have great technology.
7
00:00:43,567.617 --> 00:00:47,412.615
We also have to have a greater organization of the economic logic.
8
00:00:47,802.618 --> 00:01:35,352.621
what happens when people don't really have to work that much anymore? Are we gonna have a super fund these are big conversations because our society is changing as a consequence of technology, the current economic paradigm, which is basically about profit and growth, probably won't work here because technology makes it superfluous, abundant, right? so now it's a different paradigm To say that we have no choice but to run the arms race of AI is narrow-sighted and pessimistic Because if we were to just race to the top of the technology pyramid, with quantum computing, nuclear fusion, AI, then we will eventually, twenty-fifty approximately, just explode 'cause it just leads to conflict, How do things change in human lives? It's pain and love, and right now we are in Europe here where we have a lot of pain.
9
00:01:36,52.621 --> 00:01:44,232.621
we are totally dependent on American technology and of course also military we have not achieved sovereignty in that regard.
10
00:01:44,232.621 --> 00:01:55,332.622
We don't even have a foreign minister in Europe, It's like we should have a Minister for the FUTURE here in Europe to achieve more balance and sovereignty, we finally are now forced because of Trump.
11
00:01:55,332.622 --> 00:01:59,742.622
to come to our own and think about how we can be in charge of our own destiny.
12
00:02:00,172.62 --> 00:02:04,42.623
And for that to happen, we need to have a united Europe.
13
00:02:04,292.623 --> 00:02:06,792.625
and the united Europe is a super tough mission.
14
00:02:07,412.622 --> 00:02:10,142.625
But the alternative is much worse than that.
15
00:02:10,172.625 --> 00:02:19,232.615
it's not the easiest thing to do, but it's the best decision to make compared to all the other decisions you know, here we are being forced to come together.
16
00:02:19,702.617 --> 00:02:24,162.613
That means joint military, joint cybersecurity, of course, digital currency...
17
00:02:24,432.616 --> 00:02:36,212.612
all the things that we've been talking about for twenty years Humans will only change and society will only change if we experience significant pain that we can't get stuff done or we fall in love with an idea.
18
00:02:36,462.612 --> 00:02:38,142.614
those are the two things that change humans.
19
00:02:38,142.614 --> 00:02:57,642.614
I think we need reason, and that reason is emerging, including of course, the energy crisis and the demise of oil and gas The pain will get larger, for example, with an international incident where an AI finds a backdoor to all systems and just destroys our economy for three weeks.
20
00:02:58,172.613 --> 00:03:10,417.13544835
that is quite likely to happen, unfortunately, because we can't seem to advance in foresight enough, to say, "Well,, if this happened, then we're defenseless," and I think it has precedent also, unfortunately.
21
00:03:10,417.13544835 --> 00:03:18,197.14244835
