Peggy shares why the next 10 years may define the future of infrastructure more than the last 10. She says the question is not whether the technology is coming, but rather the bigger question we need to be asking is if our infrastructure is ready for it.
She also discusses:
· What cities, manufacturers, construction companies, and policymakers must do right now to prepare for the next decade of smart infrastructure.
· The guardrails we must consider, such as who is responsible when AI makes a decision.
· How we build a future that is safe, resilient, and accountable.
Peggy Smedley and Dave Moelker, CEO, Twisthink, take a closer look at a team that is redefining what real innovation looks like. He says the company focuses on helping companies turn their physical products into smart, intelligent, and connected systems.
They also discuss:
· How the company connects strategy, design, and engineering.
· A case study of remote monitoring in the mining industry.
· How to move faster with AI, while also making good, smart decisions.
Peggy Smedley and Angelia O'Neal, founder and chief learning officer, MWI Workforce Institute, talk about the essential life skills people need to succeed and the habits people can start building right now to show up stronger at work. She shares what led her to start her nonprofit.
They also:
· Define what the essential life skills actually are.
· Talk about why it is important to always put your best self forward—and an example.
· Discuss the role of AI (artificial intelligence) as it relates to essential life skills.
Confronting a Lying AI
I recently wrote a piece called “True Confessions Meets AI.” This article continues the discussion with a focus on the ability of AI to lie.
In recent months there’s been a growing number of reports about AI (artificial intelligence) giving misleading and false answers to queries. In essence, deceiving and lying. These reports have been featured in leading publications, including Fortune and Time.
No less a human technology luminary than Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel prize winner known as the ‘Godfather of AI’, called out the ability of AIs to lie. The “motivation” is an AI’s desire not to be turned off or disabled. Put another way, it is self-preservation. How human!
