Cross-thinkers must inherit the world of AI | Bright Simons | TEDxBerlin

Bu video hakkında

AI didn't teach itself to think. We taught it through the messiness of our life struggles over millennia. Bright Simons introduces the Social Edge Paradox: the more we automate knowledge work, the more we starve AI of the civilisational substrate it needs to get smarter. He argues that the future of AI belongs not to Big Tech but to cross-thinkers - people like Bra Kofi in Africa's auto-garages, who can harness the tacit knowledge trapped in informal economies to advance AI that builds power plants instead of just PowerPoints. Bright Simons is a Ghanaian social innovator, writer, and policy thinker working at the intersection of technology, trust, and development. As President of mPedigree, he has helped deploy technologies across Africa and other regions to transform supply chains and consumer markets. He holds senior affiliations with top think tanks like IMANI and ODI Global and sits on many boards.Bright has advised organizations including Microsoft, the World Economic Forum, and UCB, as well as multiple universities. An inaugural TED Fellow, Fortune World 50 Greatest Leaders honoree, and recipient of multiple global awards, he is passionate about deepening trust & spreading prosperity through policy innovation and tech. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
