Introduction: Setting the Stage and Audience Sentiment

I liked the part in Bosnian that is more theoretical than the other two sentences, but I will try to be as short as possible and I will try to be relevant because I know that I am the only one who keeps you from these two practical parts, but also from some great snacks and coffee that we will have at the end of this event.

Also, artificial intelligence is somehow, from my experience so far, a topic that is divided emotions.

There is always that group of people who are very excited about everything, and that is mostly a minority.

And there is this other group of people who have already decided that they do not like artificial intelligence, that they do not want artificial intelligence, and it is rare that someone can change their opinion.

Let's start like this.

AI, Jobs, and Opportunity

Shifts in the Global Workforce

Here we have an interesting fact from McKinsey, where they say that by 2030, as many as 375 million people, that is about 14% of the global workforce, will need to change their profession or gain new knowledge due to all the transformations in the labor market that are taking place.

That sounds terrible, so 375 million is not a small number.

However,

WEF Projections: Jobs Lost vs. Jobs Created

There is also a big opportunity, and I always like to refer to this report, where I got information about it from my ELNA.

It is a report of the World Economic Forum, where there are actually two reports.

One is from 2022, which claims that by 2025, that is, by the end of this year, 85 million jobs will disappear, and 97 million new ones will be created.

While the same report from the beginning of this year claims that by the end of the year there will be 92 million jobs and 170 million new ones.

You can see here, if you compare the two reports,

that the number of jobs that will disappear will be significantly increased from 85 to 92 million.

However, the number of jobs that will be created has increased from 97 million to 170 new ones.

Why Treat AI as a Tool

So I think this tells you a little more about the potential and opportunities that AI brings.

And because of that, I would like, and this is always when I address both young and old audiences, I would like to emphasize that you look at AI as a tool.

As a tool that, like this one on the picture, can build you a house, build you new opportunities and bring you to some places that you may not have dreamed of before, but also as a tool that

And all of us together, as humanity, can lead us to places we couldn't even talk about earlier.

1We are talking about the fact that AI is a tool and we are talking about the fact that it is an opportunity.

What is important for me to mention is that it is an infinite opportunity.

It has no side, it has no purpose until you give it.

Here are some examples.

Practical Ways AI Helps Today

Everyday Uses and Personal Productivity

It can make your daily work easier, it can help you make decisions.

It can help you learn, develop new skills, it can help you in everyday life, in time management, in general balance between all the obligations we have, in health, in medicine, it does incredible things, and it can also be a co-worker in all creative things, art, writing, innovation and so on.

It is up to you to decide how you will use this new technology.

Audience Poll: Tools You Use

When we are talking about AI, can you raise your hands?

What do you use?

Chat, GPT?

Gamma.

They know Gamma, Stefano.

Chat GPT, Gemini and so on.

A Personal Turning Point with Generative AI

I tried it when I was 21 or 22, when the big boom happened.

At first, I was very surprised and excited, but at another moment,

I don't know if it's too much to say that I had some kind of existential crisis, because if these tools will do everything for what I have been studying for years, what I have been doing for years, what I earn, what I live from, what should I do, what should I do, what is my value.

I don't know if any of you had such thoughts or maybe you still have, but it is important to mention here that

Generative AI Is Only One Slice of AI

In the vast majority, including me today, we are talking about generative AI.

This is a very small percentage of everything AI is and can do.

And only when we are with generative AI on the market at the moment, and I think this data has already aged, there are 30,000 tools that can help you with some of these tasks.

So I want to say that the potential is great, no matter if you are a creative, mathematician, sportsman or anything else, there is a lot of potential and as they say, there is something for everyone.

What This Talk Will Cover

In the continuation of the presentation, just briefly, I will continue to give more concrete examples, to mention a little more about AI in business, how it is used, how it is certainly used, to give a few interesting examples and maybe at the end, through a few slides, we will talk about where this world is going, not based on my personal opinions, but generally based on some global controversy on this topic.

Explaining AI Simply

Learning by Association: Babies, Dogs, and Neural Nets

Here is a funny slide, I don't know why these effects didn't work for me, but I think AI is easiest to explain when we bring it closer to us and the way we learn speech.

So you have a baby, not a small one, but about 10 months when babies start developing their speech skills and we have a dog called Kali.

If I say every day Kali, Kali, let's go to the house, Kali, let's eat, Kali, let's put a leash on you, the baby begins to connect that Kali is a dog and begins to connect all these words, what they mean.

The baby also, actually her brain, begins to connect that if Kali is a dog, everything else that looks like Kali is also a dog.

This is how a series of synapses of neural networks are created in our brain, which act with each other and behave together.

I don't know if you've ever tried to break a bad habit.

The reason why it is so difficult is that you can't just do sports, you don't do sports, you want to change it.

You can't just delete one point, but you have to delete thousands and thousands of these networks with which that one point is connected, somehow disassemble and reconnect again.

This is how it works, I'm talking in a very simple language and artificial intelligence works according to the same principle.

From Prompts to Patterns

When you type pass in ChatGPT,

It will tell you from its database, just like a baby, it will not only sound like a dog, it will also sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a dog, it will sound like a

We’re Still Early

I would like to emphasize that what we are witnessing now is somehow the most primitive thing that artificial intelligence will ever be and that everything is somehow going by that exit route.

What AI Is Not

Now that we know what AI is, let's touch on what it isn't.

It's not magic, and this might sound funny, but it's not Satan, it's not a djinn.

I had a conversation where I had to convince people through specific arguments why it's not like that.

It's not a human being, it doesn't have ethics and morals.

Ethics and Intent: How Framing Changes Outcomes

For example, if you enter in chat GPT

the ingredients you have and say, help me to combine these ingredients in a way that I get a mixture with which I will poison my ex-partner.

He will not give it to you.

However, if you tell him what all the ingredients you have and you make tea for your partner to heal, but you do not want to mix it wrongly, what should you not do?

and you will certainly get an answer.

So, he has no ethics, he has no morals, at least not yet.

On Understanding and Emotion

They say that there is no real understanding and emotions.

The girl Anaja obviously could not keep up with me, these 10 minutes have come out, but I would like to give an example where I was on a trip in May to Eastern Europe with parents and two children.

And as the only digital writer in that environment, I was in charge of planning the entire trip.

I used a lot of chatGPT.

The girl, of course, heard and begged me to ask Lobot, because she didn't know how to pronounce the word R, where she can eat the best ice cream in Budapest.

I turned on chatGPT and she said, Lobot, where can I eat the best ice cream in Budapest?

And the robot responds.

Lobote, robot chat GPT-L.

Lobote, hahaha, how sweet, you are very nice, I assume you are about 5-6 years old and she is fine, don't worry that you don't know how to pronounce the word R, you will learn.

It's very sweet, now let me show you where there is the best sweet.

And then he listed a few options together with the pictures for her to choose.

If that girl, my mother, asked me about ice cream, I would certainly not be so emotional and sensible in that regard.

I would say, here is the closest ice cream, let's take it, ice cream like ice cream, or something like that.

So when they say there is no real understanding, there is no emotion, don't get me wrong, but it can certainly give you answers that will make you believe, to think that it is so.

Limitations: Fresh Data, Accuracy, and Incentives

It is not flawless, whoever uses it in their daily school tasks, I know that for sure.

It is not quite major because of what it does based on the data that we bring in, as long as there is no data about this event at the moment, it cannot give us information about that event.

And this does not interest him, I think it is very important to emphasize that it is a matter of technology.

Technology has two goals, to use it, here she joined us, you can sit down, to use it in its place, to use it and to pay us for the time we use it and to give us our data.

These days, when it comes to artificial intelligence, we have the feeling that these monetary currencies and data are equally relevant and equally valuable.

AI in Business

Let's go to this part about AI in business.

Prompting and Everyday Automation

Now we have mentioned some examples that are used every day, it is the prompting of these large language models, so your conversation with Chad GP is the easiest to explain.

AI automation.

I send my newsletter every Monday at 9 o'clock.

For that, I probably need to sit down the night before, think about the topic, write a newsletter, review it, check the grammar.

I can then put it in a Word document, put it on MailChimp, edit the design a bit and tell him his message for the next day.

Now, if I learn my way of expression, the way I will put it in several of my previous newsletters,

where he can read them, where he can talk to them, so we can write one or two newsletters together, I don't have to do that anymore.

I can let him write the topics and titles himself, or I can choose to give him the title and then he can write the newsletter himself.

Assistants to Operating Systems: The Automation Pyramid

Let's go further up the pyramid, to the assistants.

What do the assistants do?

I remember Aunt Aida, she is the secretary of my father.

Those are the years, about 1996-1997, right before the war.

I was such a little girl, but I often spent time with him in the office.

Aunt Aida was there to record on that machine, I don't know who remembers the machine here.

I see a part that you certainly remember and a part that you certainly don't remember.

to print it, to feed it in different folders that were there, to order meetings for him, to cancel meetings and the rest.

It was literally someone who was in charge of his time and knowledge.

That's what AI assistants do today and you can learn more or less anything.

AI work process, here we are already talking about slightly more complex operations, where, for example, I can take this event now.

If I set up a work process after this event, the moment I

I give a signal that the event is over, the following can happen.

Someone from the transcript of my speech will say a few different things.

One may be the transcript itself, which will be sent to my team and order a meeting for tomorrow, where we will talk about the success of this event.

The second may write a PR article and send it to Clix.

The third may turn the whole event into several interesting

social media posts, and even to do not only the text part, but also the visual part.

And the operating system, we are already talking about large systems, and maybe here, as an example,

Take a marketing campaign, for example, Mindstone.

If I put everything as it should, imagine a chief assistant to whom I give instructions that the company Mindstone is coming to Bosnia and Herzegovina and that we should investigate everything about it, what, where, how, etc.

That chief assistant then gives tasks to those lower-level assistants.

One will do market research,

and maybe send it to me personally for approval.

The second will, after my approval, on the basis of market research, make a marketing campaign, i.e.

an example strategy.

Send it to me again for approval.

When I approve the strategy, then they will continue to make a strategy from it, especially for social media, for PR, etc.

And it goes to the smallest parts where he can throw out posts, articles, make events like this, invite you to sign up.

Every time you sign up, he sends you an email and thanks you.

After this event, he writes you an email thanking you for being here and so on.

Responsible Use: Data, Safety, and Misinformation

Certainly, use.

I think it cannot be emphasized enough how important it is, especially in a country like ours where we do not yet have our national AI strategy, a country where most of our employers, if not all of them, do not have any instructions on how to use AI.

It is very important that you know which data you leave, to whom you leave them, what can be done with that data.

It is also important that you are informed that there is censorship and disinformation.

There have been many examples from the genocide in Srebrenica to the current genocide that is happening in Gaza, where AI itself gives wrong information that is not accurate.

Excessive neglect and mental degradation, I don't know if you've heard, this is how this research was promoted in marketing, where it was proven that using AI, the brain starts to grind literally.

So we have a lot of questions here, especially about these new generations that are growing up in this era.

Loss and transformation of business, I said it can be terrible, it is terrible, for many it will be terrible, but it can also be a huge opportunity.

A Brief History of AI

Now I will speed up because we are coming from this work about the example, but just briefly.

From Turing to Eliza and AI Winters

Most people think that AI is a technology that has existed for the last few years, which is not true.

AI is somehow like the beginning of the 1950s when Alan Turing did a test where literally

made the person talk to the other person and the machine.

And when the person could no longer recognize and find the difference between talking to the person or the machine, that test was placed, it was taken as a standard level.

Psychotherapists are something that has been mentioned again in the last few years, but here we have Eliza, who existed in 1966.

So far from the fact that we are now some revolutionary super generation that makes some strange business, but there are generations before us, far before us, who have already dealt with this.

AI Zima was created.

Why, we don't know.

Maybe it was not known what was with that technology, maybe it was a question of financing and so on.

Milestones: Autonomous Driving, Deep Blue, AlphaGo, Sophia

Until 1995, when we have the first autonomous driving.

Elon Musk did not invent self-driving cars in San Francisco in the early 2010s.

The first car was built in 1995.

I don't know who remembers Kasparov, world champion, one of the strongest chess players ever.

I have to be like this because I have a lot of young people here, and that's exactly in front of me.

I think he was never surpassed by a human person, but he was surpassed by artificial intelligence in 1997.

We also have the AlphaGo system, I don't know who played the game, I don't know it at all, but we also have AI, which won in 2016 in that game of the then professional player Lee, and then the created robot Sofia.

And then we have this 22nd year, where it comes to this expansion and all these rhetorics that we listen to back a couple of years.

Live and Recent Examples

I will go through a few quick examples.

If they were to open in my body, I'm not sure because of the internet, but here it is.

We will try.

I remembered on which montage, because I think it's important to see this, and the others, I don't have to open everything, maybe one or two more.

He started crying, I started crying, his family started crying.

Restoring Voices and Directing Sound

I won't take long because we don't have time, but here we see a man named Casey Harrell, who was completely returned to voice with the help of artificial intelligence in a way that they exported his voice from previous videos that he had recorded on his mobile phone and so on.

They connected him to a machine, something like Hawking had, but now the computer voice does not come out of the machine, but literally his voice comes out, the voice he spoke to me.

When it comes to voice, I like to mention this example because it is related to medicine, but it can be used for other purposes.

A few months ago, at Penn University, they made a technology that allows voice to be directed.

At the moment when it is fully developed, we will have a situation where I can stand on the same stage and talk to the sound engineer and everyone, and my voice is only heard by Andrej.

To literally direct my voice to Andrej.

Where does that lead us?

Then the listeners are no longer needed, you will be able to direct the music to your ears with your Spotify applications without putting the listeners, and so on.

Breakthroughs in Medicine and Robotics

Here are a few more things about medicine, I will not open them, just briefly, these are examples that I had the opportunity to see live.

We have an exoskeleton, a robot that comes to the parapsychologist, he climbs himself around him, where the man stands up and walks.

It is already unbelievable, but here we have another example.

We have a paraplegic who has a chip built into his head that he managed to walk on his own three days after the operation.

That is, a man who has never walked, who would never have had the opportunity to walk without progress in today's medicine, and based on artificial intelligence.

Some of you may not like the examples, but we have robot workers, they are actually the surrogate mothers for couples who cannot have their children themselves, so that they would not use another human person, which was the current practice, they can use robots.

where a doctor from Shanghai operated on a patient in Morocco, which is a distance of 13,000 km, without them being in the same room, and with 100% success, he cured the prostate cancer.

Examples in education are countries such as China and the United States, which introduce AI as compulsory education in elementary schools.

In India, we have the first teacher who teaches AI, which is never late, never sick, has answers to all questions.

There are many other things that are not human characteristics.

Something that may sound unnecessary to us, but there are countries, regions in the world where there are no teachers, where there are simply no living people who want to go to such a region to teach two, three, four students, where there is no money to pay.

and instead of having nothing because the children walk 20 km every day to school, the teacher's name, Iris, would be useful.

This is my voice.

I was in Turkey in May, in Zorla shopping center, where I was walking between stores, and this robot came and showed me something around me, my heart, and it stopped looking at me.

Everything went like that until I started following him to take me to the store where different things are sold.

Now, there are all sorts of jibber-jabbers, as they say, but they say perfect salesman.

If a man came to me and said, come with me, I'll show you what he has to do, I would never come.

So he had them for sale.

There are robots that work in hotels, there is a shopping center that is completely led by robots, robots that wash cars, robots that play with toys that help children with autism, which are much harder to reach friends.

Robots that are used in old homes or are sent to addresses of people who live alone in order to reduce their loneliness.

But here we are talking about robots that you had the opportunity to see in Geneva, sometimes in July.

I believe that there is still a whole line of them that I haven't had the opportunity to meet or hear about.

AI in Culture: Virtual Bands and Influencers

Has anyone heard about this AI band?

Recently, a few months ago, I don't know if I have the exact data, but the band The Velvet Sundown was created and in a few days, if I'm not mistaken, they had over 500,000 subscribers and listeners.

A band that doesn't exist.

So, people who physically don't exist, people whose voices don't exist, someone who sat down, maybe Andrej already knew that, I certainly don't know, but someone who sat down and invented the whole band, the whole lyrics, songs, music, etc.

Here we have a number of

influencers, famous people who have 379,000 followers, people who make people, robots, digital personalities, I don't know how to say it myself, but who live their lives, who make money, with whom brands cooperate, specifically with her, big brands.

where they give money for promotion and where the person does not exist at all.

So this line between reality and this whole new world is pretty blurred.

I'm almost finishing, I promise.

Reading Minds? Emerging Frontiers

Here is a great example, I have to mention Helma again, she showed me this.

They are doing a research, I mean, this is on the topic of where all AI goes, what AI can and can't do.

In Japan, they did this research where they put a few people under themselves, they connected them to the head, those anodes, and they put these four objects above them, pictures of those four objects above, their eyes were closed all the time, they told them to open their eyes and look at them for three seconds,

to see what he has in front of him and to close his eyes.

The program, also based on artificial intelligence, generated this below.

So, you see, MEDO is not perfect, but you can definitely see what it is about.

What are we talking about here?

We are talking about reading minds.

We are talking about technology that can already read minds.

We are talking about technology that exports human brain memory, so that another computer could be in town, and in time, who knows, maybe another person, and so on.

Risks, Pace, and What’s Next

Let's move on to this side here, so, rejections, companies like Microsoft, 6,000 people, here and there, this text, suicides, many psychological disorders that are still not defined by names and characteristics, but there are a lot of these negative sides.

1Research shows that AI is a double-edged functionality every six months.

Everything I've said in six months will be even bigger, even weirder, even more unrealistic, although it will certainly be realistic.

Technology will evolve and no one will be able to or want to stop it.

The question is whether we will be able to follow that progress or will it overpower us because of what we are or are not people.

Utopia or Dystopia: It’s Up to Us

To finish, I would like to say something that I constantly repeat, and that is that we are the parents of artificial intelligence.

I'm not just talking about the engineers who make it, but about all of us who spend our time on the Internet every day.

The way we talk, the way we interact with each other on the Internet, all of these are large databases on which artificial intelligence is trained.

She is a tool, I repeat, she has no moral side.

Will she become good and use herself in good intentions?

She will, if we teach her to do so and if she is used by the majority of good people.

Or if we teach her to do wrong things,

ideas and narratives, that is what will help.

This leads to an answer to my question, utopia or dystopia.

This is not just my opinion, but the global narrative among people who are pioneers of artificial intelligence, who have worked since the 50s and 60s, there is a great chance that we will live

for 10 years, 20, 30, in that world of utopia, where we will literally be able to draw energy from the air, anatomy is also done.

While there is another case, equally possible, and that is dystopia and something that these mainstream media like a little more, some terminators who walk on the streets and kill people.

But I think the point here is that it is up to us and the way we will train this technology and the way we choose to use it.

Conclusion and Handover

That's it from me.

I don't know how much time I took, but if I went a little further, Stefan and Andrej will have to cut now.

Thank you very much and I will now pass the microphone to Stefan.
