At the recent Web Summit Qatar, there was a special session called 'The AI Moment' where they talked a lot about how AI is affecting different parts of our lives. Julia Sieger from FRANCE 24 led the discussion, and she had Mohamed Al-Hardan from the Qatar Investment Authority and Sachin Dev Duggal from Builder.ai sharing their thoughts. They all had different ideas about AI.
"Sachin Dev Duggal talked about how AI has evolved over time, drawing from his work at Builder.ai. He remembered important milestones like Google's BERT model from ten years ago. He said that 2022 was a big year because not only did AI technology improve, but also the way it's designed became easier for people to use."
After the Qatar Investment Authority put a lot of money into Builder.ai's Series D funding, Mohamed Al-Hardan talked about why they did it. He said they liked how Builder.ai makes developing things faster and how they're always looking for ways to use AI better. He also said it's important to really check things out before using AI to make sure it works well. Al-Hardan also talked about how AI startups are being smart about dealing with the problems AI can have and how they're trying to be leaders in new technology.
When they talked about how AI affects jobs, Duggal and Al-Hardan didn't just talk about people losing their jobs. Duggal said he imagines a future where people are valued more for their creative ideas than for doing things by hand, which is a new way to think about work. Al-Hardan agreed, saying it's really important to keep learning as AI becomes more important in our lives.
When they talked about how to manage AI, they mentioned the ethical and legal problems it brings up. Al-Hardan said we shouldn't have too many rules that stop new ideas from coming up. Instead, he thinks it's better if regulators and tech experts work together to understand each other better and find solutions that work for everyone.
At the end of the talk, everyone agreed that we need to change how we teach kids so they're ready for a world where AI is really important. Sachin Dev Duggal said it's really important to teach kids skills like being creative and able to change when they need to. He thinks schools should teach these skills in a way that helps kids deal with lots of different situations.
Sachin and Al-Hardan talked a lot about how AI affects people, what's right and wrong, and who's responsible. They both said it's really important to make sure that when we come up with new AI stuff, we always think about what's best for people.
