On July 26th, RDR together with JadeValue hold the event “BIG DATA& AI”. Steve Austin, mentor at Founder Space and many startups, professor of Stanford University and Santa Clara University, introduced the application of AI and big data in different parts of the world to over 70 startups and investors. He discussed professionals’ and governments’ different contributions to AI revolution and his concerns, which led to a heated discussion with the audience.
Steve mentioned that big data has a wide application, such as finding parking places, measuring temperature/moisture,/acceleration/deceleration of cars, prevention of swindle/smug/terrorism, forecasting weather and mitigating climate problems. He also shared his own experience in big data. “Last week, I went to a fintech company at Copenhagen,” he said, ”I told them my personal ID, and then within a second, they showed me all my personal information and photos at all events I was in the last 4-5 years. I think big data has a promising future but it may also cause problems in personal information leak.”
Machine learning is getting more and more popular in recent years, but many projects have failed. The aircraft accident in San Francisco several years ago is a good example. Steve pointed out that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg shared different attitudes towards AI. Elon is more focused on the future, hoping that human brain could be connected with the internet. Mark Zuckerberg was more optimistic, focusing AI on eliminating diseases. Steve then mentioned his visit to one of his friends in Australia, who implanted a chip into his flesh. Instead of cards or phones, his friend opened the door of his office by simply waving the hand.
As for the revolution brought by AI, Steve thinks since many manual work would be automated, plenty of jobs would be replaced by AI, which would might cause certain social problems. It's amazing that AI can bring about such innovation and revolution, but we need to ensure that the speed of job creation is faster than that of its disappearance.
