TED: Så kan AI förbättra ditt minne, ditt arbete och ditt sociala liv
How smart can our machines make us? Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri, wants to make ”humanistic AI” that augments and collaborates with us instead of competing with (or replacing) us. He shares his vision for a future where AI helps us achieve superhuman performance in perception, creativity and cognitive function — from turbocharging our design skills to helping us remember everything we’ve ever read and the name of everyone we’ve ever met. ”We are in the middle of a renaissance in AI,” Gruber says. ”Every time a machine gets smarter, we get smarter.”

Tuesday’s scathing TechCrunch investigation all but guarantees it. The report found that Facebook has been paying people as young as 13 years old to download an app that grants Facebook access to users’ entire phone and web history, including encrypted activity and private messages and emails. The app, called Research, allows Facebook to see how people’s friends, who have not consented to having their data collected, interact with those users, too.

På lunchen: Vi har alla fakta, nu måste vi vakna
Stockholm native Greta Thunberg first heard about climate change when she was 8 years old. She absorbed the solutions adults threw at her — recycle paper, study the data, train to be a climate scientist. None of it felt like enough. ”What’s the point of learning facts in the school system,” she asks, ”when the finest science from that system means nothing to our politicians and society?”
In this passionate call to action, Greta explains why, in August 2018, she walked out of school and stood firm outside the Swedish parliament in an effort to prompt change. As she says: ”We have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change.”
