Buddy In the host of Hello Future, Kevin Sirelli is
podcast available on the Iheard Radio app to talk about
what's happening with AI and so many different areas in
our life. It is now affecting at a rapid speed. Kevin,
welcome in, Thanks for being here, well.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Thanks for having me. The thing that I really like
this week is about the glasses and how artificial intelligence
actually might have us not being addicted to our phone
so much, but actually looking at the stuff that we
look on our phone on our face by doing glasses.
And in fact, Meta's partnership with ray Band, they've got
all of these glasses. There were the hot ticket last
(00:38):
holiday season and now they've introduced this concept of augmented
reality AR into their glasses where you're going to be
looking through them and seeing if you're walking down the street,
you can look at maps and whatnot and what uber
to get in or what car or if stores are open.
I mean, that's really the future and it's on your face.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, And one of our guys that you know works
with us has a pair of these and they're fascinating.
You can actually push a button and it starts to
record things as well.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Right, and that's just the beginning. You know, when I
went to a conference a couple of years ago and
I saw a prototype from another company about how these
might help first responders. Think of firefighters who can see
through smoke and walls, first responders and police officers who
can use this technology to look at the individuals and
(01:28):
to see their crime history and whatnot. I mean, we're
living in a brave new world. But it really is fascinating.
And I think when you think of it from a
commercial lens, whether it's taking pictures or ordering food in
line or paying with I scan vision technology, when you
look at the menu item and stores, all of this,
(01:51):
we're just standing at the starting line of it. And
then it really got out front because if you contrast
that with Apple strategy and Apple's vision goggles, for example,
they developed their products in house what Mark Zuckerberg and
Meta did you know, and they were kind of stale
with the whole Facebook getting a little old thing. They
(02:11):
decided to partner with these fashion houses like ray Man,
like Oakley, and they started with the eyewear brands, and
I would imagine that you could see similar strategies with
other brands in the future.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Kevin let me ask you about you know, when you're
driving your car and you've got ways in the maps
or whatever laid out there, yes, and you're watching that.
Is this something that could transfer into these metaglasses where
you can drive with these things on and yet have
the maps right there in the corner of your eye
so you don't have to look away from the road.
I see a plus there, but I also see the
(02:43):
potential for distracted driving issues with these things.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Well, I totally hear your point, and it's a great question.
It's a great point. I actually think that we're all
going to be in autonomous vehicles, so I think that
in the future it's not even going to be so
much with that. I think if you think it from
the perspective of being able to purchase things and instead
of having to scan your phone, I think that the
(03:08):
capitalist forces will figure out a way to make eye
wear a wallet.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah all right, Well, let's talk about what Amazon is
doing now, possibly, you know, cutting six hundred thousand jobs
by twenty thirty three in their warehouses because of AI.
So what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So this is one of those media doom and gloom
headlines that the New York Times put out. They got
their hands on a memo and they ran with this angle.
Amazon is pushing back really hard. I want to pour
some cold water on it, because I think it just
fits this terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger narrative of all the humanoid
robots are going to come and take over, and it's
(03:45):
just I call bs. That's not really what's going to happen.
So more likely to happen is that when people hear robots,
they think of a humanoid, and that's not reality. More,
robotics is different than a humanoid robot. So in the warehouses,
they might be able to lift things that no human,
not even Arnold Schwarzenegger, could lift, and that I think
(04:07):
is a really good thing. It also will make warehouses
more safe. And I just want to note that it's
much more likely that while jobs will be displaced because
of robotics, new jobs will be created as a result.
And so the design of the robots, the manufacturing of
actually building a robot, these are all working class jobs.
And I think that that's also really important to note
(04:29):
as well. So every time you have an industrial shift,
new jobs are creative.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Sure, let's talk about the classroom and kids. AI is
certainly there now and just going to be increasing. More
pluses are minuses to this.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm a big believer that we should have we should
be teaching kids how to use artificial intelligence. We shouldn't
be telling them not to use it. We tried to
do this with social media. We said don't use it,
don't use it, and look what happened and messed everybody up.
We were ignoring it instead of embracing it. I just
want to quickly note that the word calculator used to
be a a person. It used to be a human
job mathematicians. We're called calculators, and then the technology and
(05:06):
the job went from a human to a device. It's
not that we all stop learning mass. What happened was
those calculator humans became computer programmers who program the calculators. Now,
with the advent of artificial intelligence, computer programmers are going
to likely be created by artificial intelligence. It doesn't mean
we don't need technologists. It means that we need folks
(05:27):
who can push us even forward into the future. That's
how I think we should be teaching kids about AI.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
All right, very good, Kevin Strelli once again the podcast
on the iHeartRadio. Hello, future. Thank you, Kevin, have good weekend, buddy.
We'll do it again soon.
