The Kind of AI We Actually Need | Van Jones | TED

Summary

The speaker expresses concern about the rapid advancement of AI leading to a "brave new world" without wisdom, contrasting it with a need for "Ancestral Intelligence." They highlight the widening "adaptation gap" between exponential technological growth and linear human evolution, warning of social unrest and humiliation. The practical takeaway is that instead of decelerating technology, humanity must accelerate itself by forging a new social contract between Big Tech and people, ensuring participation and inclusion to avoid scarcity born from abundance.
