I miss the days when there was a distinctive difference between a TED talk and a generic, run-of-the-mill corporate boardroom powerpoint presentation.

Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

As global warming, pollution and the collapse of biodiversity causes the worst threat in human history, I am really puzzled by this supposedly good news that AI will spark an exponential economic growth!
Do we live on the same planet????

@GianlucaAiello

I seriously doubt "wages going up as employees become more productive". 
Less jobs on the market will increase demand and lower waiges.
The speed of technology will go faster and our ability to adapt.

Creative Destruction ? This is how some speakers are not-so-creatively destructing the once respected TED platform.

@alphabeta8403

3:00 Exponential growth
8:50 FED policy

Exponential growth of GDP with exponential income inequalities.

@yt_rm

This sounded like a 14 minute long unskippable Youtube Ad.

@Raketensofa1

What happened, TED? How did you end up giving a stage to investors who have a vested interest in selling this narrative, instead of brilliant (social) innovators and thinkers like Ken Robinson? Seriously, how is this possible? Can anyone explain?

@TechSiyaad

This so called exponential economic growth is just for the reach not those who don't have any tech education for their children in 2023 let alone talk about other things. many countries particularly in Africa there is no opportunity for the young to learn digital skills necessary for the kind of growth needed.

@SYMO_3D

Why does TED give a platform to someone as disconnected from reality as she is? AI might make investors and billionaires richer and cause the stock markets to rise for a while. But the real economy will drop like a rock, and inequality will skyrocket.

@CYBERSECURITY.101

Whether AI leads to exponential economic growth depends on how we choose to develop and deploy it. Responsible development, addressing societal challenges, and prioritizing human well-being are key to ensuring that AI benefits everyone.

We don't need economic growth technologies; we need economic redistribution technologies

In the early 1900's the big losers were horses being put out to pasture, they didn't spend a cent while they worked, they were a cost, it was a net gain letting them go. Laying off workers due to productivity gains means those workers spend less while out of work, some companies will certainly make big gains, lower costs, higher margins, but unseen second and third order effects have yet to be accounted for. The major second order effect of the early 1900's was WW1. We are also dealing with falling birth rates, greater number of retirees living of savings. In the 1900's you had huge labour forces coming off farms with families of 8-12 children. Not this time. Again all the building blocks on the chess board are correct, but how they will interact adds up to one thing, serious system instability. Its not all rainbows and unicorns. If you haven't noticed already, the 21st century has been nothing but unstable.

@danielpaulodaniel

She only forgot to say how the market will handle the gigantic unemployment that will come. How people with no income will participate in these future economy?

@duilion885

“Wages going up”…. lol

@TheMrfrodough

The fact that ted allowed this psychopath on their stage demonstrates how far down its gone. 


Productivity going up from ai wont give realistic and fair wage increases. Productivity has sky rocketed since the 1960s and yet wages have stagnated. 

GDP has been a bunk measurement for the economy for ages. All GDP measures is how much is produced. Not whether its useful to society, not whether its needed, just volume. 


GDP doesnt measure the peoples well being, which is the only measurement that matters.

@HipH0pHippy

I don't care how much we advance or how fast, nothing will become deflationary if we don't stop corporate greed...
