The importance of human capacity and self-awareness at a time when AI will become more "intelligent" but not more capable of genuine empathy. Esther Dyson argues that we need to invest in our next generation of human beings instead.
An inspiring tale of eternal curiosity. A life history to inspire kids and students of all ages. Esther Dyson's father's boss was Oppenheimer (at the Institute for Advanced Study). She left that bubble at the age of 16 to go to Harvard and write for the Harvard Crimson. At 17, she dropped out to spend half a year traveling, including two months with her then-boyfriend, who was serving in the Peace Corps in Morocco. From 2008-2009, she trained as a backup cosmonaut in Star City outside Moscow, Russia. Then she asked the basic question: Why are we spending so much time & money fixing preventable health conditions when it's often too late? She then began Wellville, a 10-year nonprofit project, working in 5 small US communities to foster health equity and long-term thinking. In this talk, Dyson talks about what she's learned and is open to curiosity and questions.
