"We have renewable forms of energy. We've learned about wind and sea power and stuff like that. But robots, when they apply their minds, actually, they might uncover something completely different?"
Allister Frost, Making Conversations Count - (June 2022)
Psst! Low on data? Here's a lower bandwidth version for you.
Is there really a battle of artificial intelligence vs human intelligence?Allister Frost is a very smart man.
He's got a lot to say in this episode.
Yes, about AI (or as we know it - artificial intelligence) and the dawn of something called artificial general intelligence.
But also about a range of other subjects too.
Including, what really is the post-pandemic 'new normal', how Buddhism can play a part in business success, and just how rad soap is!
As you'll learn from this episode of the "Making Conversations Count" podcast, there's far more hidden away from us in life than a robot vac and some bath time bubbles!
You'll learn....
- The ‘new normal’
- What is artificial intelligence, really?
- The future of AI and ‘artificial general intelligence’ that passes the Turing test
- How Allister applies Buddhism in his work
- The genius of soap
- Allister’s conversation that counted – (and some brilliantly simple business advice for any business owner!)
A poignant moment from the episode:
"It's about recognising that your comfort zone, the sort of safe, easy life that you created for yourself. It's nice, it's cosy, but it won't exist in the future because things are going to change. Now, you have a choice. You can wait for change to happen to you and you'll kind of have to roll with it. Or you could be more Proactive in your life and try to explore those changes that would be beneficial to you and your family and the lifestyle you wish to have."
