AI and new perspectives on the human experience
Is artificial intelligence becoming a natural thing? Will it bring more creativity into our everyday lives? Will it change our society not just technically, but fundamentally, for the better? Yariv Adan and Murièle Solange Bolay discuss these topics in the latest episode of the Text Academy's AI podcast.
The latest Textakademie AI podcast welcomed two guests this time. Yariv Adan co-developed Google Assistant, Google Cloud and Google Lens, and Murièle Solange Bolay is co-organizer of the "Future of Humanity Experience" - a parallel event to Art Basel. She is also an investor and founder of MSB & Partners, where she has worked as a transformation expert and executive coach for 18 years. The discussion was once again moderated by journalist Christoph Soltmannowski.
Yariv Adan, now General Partner at venture capital firm Ellipsis in Zug, draws a comparison with the beginnings of humanity when it comes to artificial intelligence: "At the moment, we are like cavemen who have just discovered fire and are trying to imagine what they can do with it. The potential goes far beyond our current understanding and imagination".
He describes how voice interfaces facilitate access to technology for everyone, regardless of age, background or technical know-how. "Suddenly everyone can use it - someone who is three years old, someone who is 100 years old, someone who is rich, someone who is poor. Regardless of whether they are tech-savvy or not".
The future of human experience: art as a social laboratory
The former Google product manager will take part as an expert in the "Future of Humanity Experience", which is being co-organized by Murièle Solange Bolay. The event sees itself as a platform for interdisciplinary dialog and brings together representatives from the fields of art, business and science as well as futurists and visionaries. The common goal: to integrate creativity into everyday life and decision-making processes and to generate new perspectives for the future of humanity. "We need to liberate and rediscover ourselves. People need to become aware of their new role - and also discover the potential and perspectives that are opening up in the new world," says Bolay.
