The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So it's like this tide that's lifting all the other boats.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So everything from protein folding, so AI effectively got a Nobel Prize for that.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

It's changing chemistry, biology.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

AI got a Nobel Prize.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So the team at Google DeepMind did this protein folding project where they could get AI to learn to sort of map out all the different ways proteins could fold.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that was something that would have taken their estimates like 50, 100 human years to do.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And now AI can just kind of do it on the fly.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that team of people got the Nobel Prize for that.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

But it was really AI that you could say deserved that Nobel Prize.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

But my point is like that...

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

AI is affecting all these different industries.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

It's obviously affecting media and photography and video and Hollywood and material science, physics, mathematics.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So it's basically changing everything.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So we're starting to see, or probably we'll see exponentials in all those different areas.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that just kind of gets to this state where we can't predict the future at all.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And that's where this uncertainty is coming from.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

For most people, it's probably hitting them at the moment with the whole job talk, this idea that we're going to see this sort of loss of human jobs.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

And we've seen already this year a number of companies cut human workforce.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

So that's where the uncertainty is coming from.

The Imperfects
Joel Pearson - I Think, Therefore AI

From a lot of people, they're feeling that stress.
