How Far is Too Far? | The Age of A.I.

Welcome to YouTube Original Stages,

once home to Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose assembly hangar,

and home to much of the first Iron Man,

filmed 12 years ago.

Many happy memories here.

And speaking of taking a look back...

Technology.

It's advancing faster

and taking less time to be widely adopted

than ever before,

like as in it took roughly 10,000 years

to go from writing to printing press,

but only about 500 more to get to email.

the age of A.I...

Artificial Intelligence.

Please define.

Uh-huh, okay. There you have it.

What does it mean? I don't know.

Tons of folks are working on it, right?

Most people don't know that much about it,

and of course, there's no shortage

of data or opinions.

Anyway, I've heard it said

that the best way to learn about a subject

is to teach it,

but to level with ya,

I have a wildly incomplete education...

Not in my day job,

where I've been A.I.-adjacent for over a decade.

Anyway, I figured now would be as good a time as any

to catch up on the state of things

regarding this emerging phenomenon.

My sense of it is it kind of feels like

Pandora's box, maybe... ish?

Much of my understanding on this topic

has come from sci-fi stories,

which usually depict us
