(brush scrapes)

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.840
- To build a more AI-literate society,

3
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:09.120
we need to act at two levels.

4
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:11.720
(calm electronic music)

5
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:12.680
There's a first level,

6
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:15.120
which is, of course,
all the practitioners,

7
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:19.320
the people who code, who
develop, who build AI engines.

8
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.240
And here, it's extremely important

9
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:24.400
that we deploy guidelines,
frames of reference

10
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:27.040
for people to remain in the boundaries

11
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.080
of what is deemed responsible AI.

12
00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:35.040
Then, there's another level,
which is the general public.

13
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:37.000
The users, everyone.

14
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.320
And here, I see a massive gap.

15
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.160
People do not really
understand what AI stands for.

16
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:43.320
Sometimes, they see it

17
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.680
as an alternative to human intelligence,

18
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:47.520
which it is not.

19
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.160
It's just a set of rules.

20
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:52.600
We know we have a massive problem

21
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.920
of access to global
education around the world,

22
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.200
and AI is a solve there.

23
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.240
I've seen some AI engines

24
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.760
who start to act as coaches for children,

25
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.480
teaching them how to write,
how to read, how to count

26
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.320
in a very personalized manner,

27
00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:14.080
with superb results in
terms of learning for kids.

28
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:15.720
And the beauty of those engines?

29
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:17.920
They are cheap, they are scalable,

30
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.240
and they will change global education.

31
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.720
Today, at school, at universities,

32
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.400
students need to learn about
Python and computing languages,

33
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.640
and we had this weird debate in France

34
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.560
where a politician asked
whether kids at school

35
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.240
were better off learning
Python or ancient Greek,

36
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:42.280
and my answer is
obviously, they need both.

37
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.760
They need to understand what
programming is all about,

38
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.760
they need to be able to program,

39
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.960
but they also need humanities,

40
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:52.000
because if we want to
deploy responsible AI,

41
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.600
we need people who
understand responsibility,

42
00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:00.000
and humanities are the
mandatory complement to Python

43
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.520
if we want to educate well-rounded
citizens for the future.
