AI will take our jobs and end the world. But that is a good thing! | Ged Byrne | TEDxSt Albans

Although many people are scared of what AI will bring in the future, Ged’s talk seeks to shift the paradigm and looks forward to a time when the transformative power of software is democratised and accessible to everyone, not just those with specialised knowledge. He will explain why we can all be optimistic about an AI driven tomorrow and show how we can prepare for it today.
Ged Byrne is a father, husband, and tech enthusiast. He first learnt to code on his ZX81 in the early 80s and has decades of experience in software development. Ged has been eagerly following the progress of Artificial Intelligence since childhood and is excited by the recent breakthroughs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you Ged! I'm of an age where I quite like the idea of AI doing my job for me 😉... but reassuring to know the future doesn't need to be bleak

[@Sh4nRan]

Listening to the part about toast while making toast 🥲 Really interesting to think about AI giving us time back to be more human

I love this idea! If it takes some of our jobs maybe we will have more free time.

Comforting to hear a positive view of AI!

[@GinaDallisonCoaching]

This really gives us things to chew over (other than toast 😅).
I like your suggestion that 'jobs' are unnecessary and the most important thing is to embrace our humanness ❤
