Whether it’s climate change, health issues due to aging populations, resource shortages or economic inequality – the world faces many challenges that artificial intelligence can help us overcome, as you’ll hear in this inspiring conversation between Dex Hunter-Torricke of AI pioneer DeepMind and interviewer Amit Katwala (WIRED UK).
Through tools like AlphaFold, AI can enable breakthroughs in medicine, but also push progress in sustainable energy like fusion power and help transition to a green economy.
“From the DeepMind perspective, there are a whole set of things where we’re starting to see AI already having a big impact”, Hunter-Torricke says, pointing to medicine and sustainable energy as examples. “There’s a lot to be excited about.”
The discussion also touches upon progress towards human-level AI, the future of work and risk mitigation, among other topics. Make sure to watch the video.
