[Music] [Music] a lot of people today are starting to delegate their curiosity to Ai and so instead of exploring themselves what they do is that they ask very specific questions to AI they get the answer and then they move on that's the complete opposite of curiosity so AI is amazing when it comes to processing a lot of data and giving you quick and efficient answers but it lacks the serendipitous kind of curiosity that allows us to make connections that are not necessarily obvious I'm going to share with you three different ways in which human curiosity is different from AI curiosity and I'm not necessarily saying that one is better than the other but that we need both and that it's very important that in the future we don't let AI C replace human curiosity so first human curiosity is intuitive what we do is that we leverage hunches and instincts to make serendipitous discoveries if you think about the discovery of the penicilin for example Alexander Fleming just found this weird bacteria killing mold in a Petri dish but that was not the result of a systematic search AI curiosity in contrast is computa it goes through through a lot of data very efficiently to answer questions so AI curiosity can be very helpful to sift through millions of medical records and look for correlations and health outcomes in a way where a human researcher might take hundreds of years to be able to do so human curiosity is also personal we take into account our emotions ethics and personal experiences to make decisions so so for example when we consider climate change we're not only going to take into account scientific data we're also going to try to think about the impact on future Generations AI curiosity is supposedly impressional supposedly it should apply a datadriven analysis to reach an unbiased decision if you ask the exact same question to an AI how to solve the climate crisis it may come up with a very efficient decision let's just get rid of all of these pesky humans who are destroying the planet and finally human curiosity is explorative we value knowledge for its own sake and we find joy in the process of creative exploration on the other hand AI curiosity is exploitative it focuses on finding specific practical solutions to a well-defined problem an example of of how you could use AI is to try to improve the logistical processes in a factory to cut costs and make it more efficient if you deploy an AI to do this it will focus on the job it's not going to go and explore and try to fix other things so human CU is intuitive it's personal and it's explorative this is what allows us to make serendipitous discoveries this is what allows us to take our emotions and ethics into account when we're making decisions this is what allows us to value and seek knowledge for its own sake and this is what makes it so important for us to protect and to reclaim our curiosity the time to be curious is now thank you [Music]
