He shared a viral video of a Chinese classroom using Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the video, the children are seen wearing a band-like device on their forehead, which has a light option to indicate whether they are online or offline. A white light indicates kids are offline, while a blue light indicates they’re online. Cameras have been installed on the school premises to monitor students, and there are humanoid robots to help children play and learn using emerging AI technology.

threat of ai
AI (Artificial Intelligence) has the potential to bring many benefits to society, such as improved efficiency, automation of tedious tasks, and enhanced decision-making. However, it also has some risks and challenges that need to be addressed to ensure its safe and responsible use. Some of the potential dangers of AI include:
- Bias and discrimination: AI systems can perpetuate and exacerbate social biases and discrimination if they are trained on biased data or developed without considering the ethical and social implications.
- Job Displacement: Automation of some jobs through AI may lead to unemployment and job displacement, especially in low-skilled and routine-based jobs.
- Cyber security risks: AI can be used to launch cyber attacks such as phishing, data breaches and identity theft, and it can also be vulnerable to hacking and other cyber threats.
- Privacy concerns: AI can collect, process and analyze vast amounts of personal data, raising privacy concerns about how this data is being used and protected.
- Autonomous weapons: The development of autonomous weapon systems that can select and engage targets without human intervention raises ethical and legal questions about their use.
