Generative AI is just the Beginning AI Agents are what Comes next | Daoud Abdel Hadi | TEDxPSUT 

Need to boost the volume!

This lecture would have amazed me 2 years ago. But after having conversations with Claude 3 the last couple of days, this is a history lecture. Edit: I was wrong and happily stand corrected.

The audio of this video was super low volume even at the max capaxity of my phone audio. You need to correct that.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Programmers are so good, they can replace themselves... with code that writes even better code! Who needs job security when you can automate your own job?

Where's the personal storytelling that build the essence of Ted talks? I mean. What he's saying is of big importance. However, people can't gasp the exponential development these agents will bring to our society. I'd expect a speaker to share his excitement with the audience by giving them a bridge from what they already know to what's happening when Agents are here.

Super.... A mirror to the future.... 🎉🎉🎉

Brilliant speaker.

presentation was well done and informative

Important ideas, clearly communicated.

Well explained!

Very nice lecture

Please TED let us know the date of your videos!

Why doesn’t it show his slides

Excellent!

I'm ready for my AI agent to take over mundane tasks, like deciding which Netflix show to binge.

Tony Stark was like the richest person in the world. That’s a great avatar of who will benefit most from AI.

🗣 *"Agents are the just the feedback loop of planning and executing actions, using Language Models."* Thanks Daoud Abdel Hadi for that simple breakdown, and the excellent speech.

Please fix the sound level, I have problem of hearing anything while my audio is at max.

Need to show what is on the screen when he is talking, not the crowd or the speaker 8:26

Great Presentation. thanks for sharing

Great talk!

With all the buzz around, i am working in Canadian big bank working on java 8, with spring xml and still asking for the logs from the support team 😂

such wonderful presentation, and how is everyone in the audience so dull?

Great talk Ryan Gosling 👏🏻

There was someone whispering in the house across the street from me. So I couldn't hear a thing that was said in the video.

Please show slides

What I’d like to know is what business the entrepreneur is trying to start?

Thanks for giving this meaningful speech. Just like the Internet which helped democratise imformation, we hope AI would democratise knowledge and expertise improving intelligence and wisdom of mankind.

I can’t believe we’re literally calling them agents.

This video is lacking cutaways to the slides, and the volume is too low

Why is the audio is impossibly quiet?

nice

Yes, but does Jarvis actually still need Tony Stark?

All these projects, based on neural network models-be it generative or predictive - are testaments to capabilities of humans. AI is profound. However, if unchecked, a threat to human civilization and humanity.

If the future is full with AI agents which will do, plan, perform, create same way as us, humans - what will all of us actually do in order to get the benefits these agents will provide (for a fee, of course)? If a business can be run only with AI agents with 10 times less the cost, how will this business find customers (together with the rest of most other businesses which will do the same) when 10 time less humans will receive salaries and the unemployed part of us will not be able to pay for all these services that will be happening in an instant...

Booking a flight didn’t sound like a good use case here. I would still prefer to visit a website and search the flight on my own instead of typing some logical statements for AI. Using mouse is more convenient than typing on a keyboard.

"in the same way Jarvis doesn't replace Tony Stark, our relationship with AI can be a collaborative one." I guess homie didn't watch Avengers: Age of Ultron, where a rogue AI tries to kill Tony Stark and take over lol

when concentrating in the big picture becomes so easy is when you are not needed anymore. say in a factory 1000 people are fired becouse of a robots and ai, not all 1000 will find an alternative. at that point we are 8 billions of useless bodies while 1000 will get advantage from all this. I know it's not reversible but I'm askyng myself what's next. unless money become obsolete (wich I don't belive) what is left for us 8 billion of souls? let's see..

“Jarvis does not replace Tony Stark” … Thought of the day right there!

Don't we already converse with customer service chat bots for companies?

What is the role of Agent Smith?

show what is on screen, what he is presenting

I am a programmer and although many people said that we are safe, believe me, I am planning to move to other areas of economy like farming. Specially in this days with Devin and know a lot of people all over the world are working really hard to automate everything, I was doing that myself.

If AI agents can fold my laundry, I'm all in!

The volume is too low on the video…

The dead pixel was too much of a distraction

Audience all looking at their phones and yawning.

Audio level was terrible.

❤❤❤

Forget human landscape architects, designedbyai is the real deal.

Okay but they need to hurry up, because from what ive seen people are still doing manjal dsta entry in hugr companies

This talking about Rabbit R1? L.A.M?

It is not that simple to replace and trust a web developer, because depending on the complexity, the model will fail and you cannot full trust the AI.

Someone tell him about Vision

"never send a human to do a machine's job" 😎

The sound is terrible, extremely low.

Where can I buy this shirt?

Agents will be free? Really, who is paying for training who is paying for the energy while in use. What about water for cooling server farms? Have been living in a la-la-land and under a rock for the last 5 years? Fairytales from the beginning to the end.

And here's more good news, you guys don't have to worry too much!. I met with a Data Anaylst (who's a proficient programmer) friend just the other day, and he assured me that AI could never take his position. He claims that AI could never construct above parr decent code (entirely on it's own) and anyone that claims that it can are 'newbies' at programming. Real coding requires real human intervention. WIthout it, AI is laughable at writing code He did give a reason for this hypothesis but i couldn't entirely understand it.

FOCUS ON YOUR SKILLS IN REAL LIFE

What leads you to believe that the large percentage of the population world wide that get displaced in the job market due to AI are going to participate in the technology? The speed at which humanity will be displaced in the work force will be unprcedented. Massive layoffs will occur in the service industry. What leads you to believe that a large enough percentage of this displaced work force will adjust so that civil unrest in society is avoided?

Buy $OLAS - king of autonomous AI agent

Who ever edited this video is really in need of some AI agents to help him redo it. 30 seconds pointless clip of the audience, important slides not in frame etc.

Will AI agents help me choose my next TikTok dance challenge?

Ted talk used to share the most forefront/ innovative ideas at the time. Not it just seems more like a platform for boomers to catch up on things they missed a year ago... really sad

why look at the audience to much

Havenly who?

Give it a goal and you will not even notice when you are dead once .... Spoiler, troubles ahead.

Book me the cheapest flight to London....Sure 4 stops and 72 hours travel time ;-)

2024 women in lecture hall on AI yet not dare show a strand of hair...humanity is funny.

Anyone who thinks AI can build an end to end application that is production ready and secure has never written a single line of code.

I live for the day when software engineers become obselete

Motive motivate motivation motivating motion memory magic rabbit egg hidden Easter death religions sells artificial intelligence for gave before recall dead

Buy $OLAS

If AI could please vacuum and do the dishes while I write the content and ride bikes...that would be great. Maybe not plagiarizing the content humans have already created would be great.

clean my toilet? any willing LLM ? None? No agent available? Really ?

people still watch ted talks?

I'm Hard on hearing, thank you for the lowest volumed RU-vid video ever!

This is already out of date information

This talk is so full of sh*** I have worked in ML for the last 6 years. I am deep into this stuff. LLM have no planning and reasoning abilities: none, zero. It just happen that they incurgitated so much textual data that it feels like they can reason. But they can’t. They just spit out the most probable words given the input prompt. There is no internal mechansim of causation. We need another breakthrough to get to AGI. We are still far from it. Current LLMs are super useful but they definitely make a lot of mistakes. Agents are definitely a good research area but as of today their outputs far from perfect and needs a lot of editing. If you don’t believe me, watch what Yann Lecun, one of the most important figure in the domain, has to say about it

Ok, but who is this guy...

Spot on! The agents are coming! The prompt engineers like Stunspot @collaborativedynamics will be key!

Most boring speaker ever

I think narrow AI will be a net positive and Generative AI is probably a net negative for humankind.
