GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke discusses Europe’s readiness to lead the next era of AI innovation, examining how the continent’s tech ecosystems stack up against those in the US. In conversation with TEDAI Vienna co-curator Vlad Gozman, Dohmke explains the three key shifts that will help Europe thrive in the age of AI — and shows how GitHub’s initiatives can empower anyone to build new ideas around the world.

10:20… implying that the germans are by nature not optimistic is a very dumb statement without proper reflection on what is going on out there, neglecting even that it is a rather relative and subjective term.
What a cheap shot to get a cheap laugh from the audience!

I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
to do much work.. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
people who panic.

First of all no furniture or machines for home use has no smart technology that can spark something new and impressive yet. But they can improve to work on solving issues of human kind if they can solve many issues than they will be perfect on everything. But so far 7% grow so far. Now they can do more than before.

Creating your own system, software is the best thing a company can do. Personal software and systems.
In my personal opinion about what is happening with the technology revolution, first we need to stop fighting. Shift our mindsets, and understand technologies as a tool to help, help people to grow. We need to reach a balance between technology and human. Human Resources are irreplaceable, we need creativity, we need intuition, we need emotional intelligence. Technology has their limits and we need to understand what the tools we have, their potential and limitations and work with balance, between humans and technologies.
In my perspective Europe, how I see Europe, I feel Europe, Europe has in their DNA art. For me Europe is Art. A continent or country that has art, has a huge potential. Roots of creativity, innovation, imagination, is a huge potential.

Europe is not a single entity, it is a group of un-aligned states that regularly go to war with each other. Now, if they actually merged and stopped killing each other – that would be an entirely different matter.
@Feel_theagi
November 23, 2024 at 8:13 am
It’s so important for Europe to develop it’s own AGI, this is not like other technologies, it will be running the entire economy and tilted to make decisions in favour of the elites. There should be a new AI taskforce setup with all major European countries signing up to make this a reality.

It’s interesting that smartphones are such an important part of being human. Imagine a smartphone as an essential tool in life like a hammer or scissors. Now imagine what you can do if you know how to use a hammer properly. Same goes for coding for your phone and what you can do if you can dictate how it works on your own terms.

I adore how utterly crass TED has become. I stopped listening when they -interviewed- worshipped Elon Musk.
The decline, which began a long time previously to that, is delicious to watch.
Your “techno-libertarianism” manifesto contains it’s own downfall, but you’re SO visionary that you can’t see it and that irony is beautiful.

Isn’t there just “present” and no “future” or “past” for AI or technology? Humans may have a “future” and a “past” and developers might have history to review but isn’t AI always ahead of everyone and everything?
