THE FUTURE IS HERE

Why AI is the most important political issue of our generation | Chelsea Guo | TEDxYale

Guo talks about how artificial intelligence will revolutionize how we approach the most basic questions of political philosophy. Our history of assumptions about human nature, existence, and civil society will be turned on its head and artificial intelligence will play a drastic role in how our world changes. Chelsea Guo is a senior at Yale completing a four-year joint B.S./M.S. degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and a B.A. in Political Science. At Yale, she is a first-year counselor in Pauli Murray College, an undergraduate researcher at the Yale Stem Cell Center, the president of the Women’s Leadership Initiative, and the AI Discussion Group leader for Yale Effective Altruists. Her interests lie at the intersection of science, technology, philosophy, and political theory. After graduating, she plans to pursue a Ph.D. in political theory and a J.D. in international law. 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
