How Can AI Help Us?

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]I think that it's possible that there can be some some good uses and it kind of depends on the attitude that we take towards how we use AI. AI has such a potential to support all of us in some really amazing ways. We can make discoveries and understand things about the way the world works and the way our bodies work and the way that we do medicine and support each other. I think the most immediate changes that will come in the next 5 years certainly will be in health care. It would look like you're talking to the doctor except the doctor is on the computer and it's an AI.

[00:00:39]And it's a really good doctor and it's better than the best doctors. So, >> [music] >> in the medical area it's it's such a complex area.

[00:00:49]The humans have essentially had to break it up into narrower and narrower fields in order for any one human to be a master of that little piece. Human physiology is one big integrated system. So, to some extent the human constraints are forcing us to look at you in tiny little pieces when your overall health condition requires it to be reintegrated. So, the gift of these machines even today in health is the ability to integrate across all of it. The ability to have the machine understand the root cause of the diseases that many of us suffer with or fight the common cold or deal with diabetes and other other broad diseases, Alzheimer's and dementia. So, when you ask it a question you don't have to ask the same question to 10 specialists and hope that somehow you can combine it all together.

[00:01:47]The machine does that for you. That's added value in its own right. We created like a socket in the wall where you plug in and get electricity. Now there is a socket where you plug in and get IQ. Get an understanding of mathematics. Get a a scientific partner that helps you understand the world. It can help us from the sciences think about [music] climate change and how our environment is changing and to better understand data and to help us do research faster and to understand large amounts of data in ways that traditionally would have taken forever or were just impossible.

[00:02:24]Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk are perfect examples of people who think that humans should become a space-faring species and that we should ultimately have as many people off the planet as on the planet.

[00:02:35]And AI may accelerate our engineering capabilities and our scientific discovery capabilities to make these things real much sooner than people would have expected. [music] This will represent a wholesale change in our society in the way that we think about how we raise kids, how we educate them and what they're capable of doing. We have [music] scalable teachers. We can have as many teachers as we want.
