The arrival of non-human intelligence is a very big deal, says the former Google CEO. #TEDTalks

In a wide-ranging interview with technologist Bilawal Sidhu, Schmidt makes the case that AI is wildly underhyped, as near-constant breakthroughs give rise to systems capable of doing even the most complex tasks on their own.

    AI is a tool, it is neither good or bad, it’s just a tool. You can use it to learn a ton of things, you’ll have to be careful as it tends to halucinate, but for programming, for example, is a great tool to learn it (I learned VBA and Python using it and because of that i was able to automate a ton of useless things at my old job and also create some statistical models), but it can also be used for bad things, for example it can also make you unlearn how to learn new things and just accept anything that it might feed you.

    🤔 I’m concerned about something I noticed yesterday using Google’s AI. I put in search information that seemed logical, such as A is categorized into C, D and E, and it returned a more developed result and some references, but the information in the references did not support everything the AI claimed. That means that technology is doing logical analysis like people without supporting the information. To carry out my activity I required great caution in the sources. That’s why I realized the matter.

    In the end we may have an instrument that invents what it doesn’t know, just like it happens with some people 😒

    • @Nitrinoxus

      May 17, 2025 at 8:00 pm

      The industry jargon for that is ‘hallucinations’. LLMs frequently return responses using information that doesn’t exist, but that they extrapolate from information that _does_ – so you’re being given bogus answers that look real at a glance. And the kicker is, AI proponents have no idea how to _prevent_ hallucinations, because the most likely cause is baked into how LLMs work in the first place.

      It’s called hallucinations as the AI is obligated to answer whether it knows what it’s talking about or not. If a person were in the same situation, like when taking a test, it would be called guessing. I find it’s a little surprising how similar to people AI has already become, even though you seem to find that frownably mundane.

    Even when directly asked he still didn’t say anything that made AI impressive to me. If it’s a research, summarization, and writing tool, it’s still susceptible to GIGO and worse, and using it is allowing our skills to do those things atrophy.

      What I hear as interesting from what he is suggesting, as a supply chain management students with courses on AI application. Is that AI is going to be able to (and already somewhat is) doing task such as supplier option analyses that would take us 4 work weeks in 15 minutes. Thus companies and employees can become so incredibly much more productive and quick.
      That is what most people do not yet grasp and what is going to be so valuable and is now still “underhyped”. Because if you are a consultant and you can implement that at companies, your skills and service will be worth billions

      The arguments for it are that it “makes [our] jobs and lives easier” basically by not needing to do any sort of mathematical or analytical work anymore, which leads to a decay in those skills among the general population.
      And the arguments against it are typically about the dangers of unleashing a potential that no one can adequately predict (or even define). Meanwhile, the counter to those fears is either, “The good will outweigh the bad” or reciting nonsense about responsibility, which neither removes those fears or even addresses the problem in the first place.

The TED Idea Search wraps up in Amman, Jordan, in a 2,000-year-old Roman amphitheater and in front of a crowd of 4,000. What unfolds inside those stone walls is something the series hasn’t quite seen before: speakers shaped by the weight of living in a region the world tends to define for itself. From a mountaineer who turned grief into motivation to a therapist rewriting the Arab world’s language around mental health, the final city makes the strongest case yet that the best ideas can come from anywhere.

Watch the full talks from the TEDxAmman Idea Search:

00:00 – Intro
3:24 – Rehearsals
16:00 – The Talks
36:28 – Deliberation
38:48 – The Winner Is…

The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April.
