WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.637
part of the IIT Delhi community. Let's

00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:09.240
have another huge round of applause
uh for our guest guys. Come on.

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:15.197
They say the best way to predict the

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:19.197
future is by inventing it. And today we

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.957
have two stalwarts from different

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:23.437
generations who have each foreseen the

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:26.237
future for the world by building it

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.717
themselves. Our first guest is a name

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.637
that resonates deeply within these

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.277
walls. He's not just a global icon, but

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:38.397
he's also our very own alumni.
In the early8s, he co-founded Sun Micros

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:41.997
Systemystems, a company that
fundamentally revamped the structure of

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:46.237
Silicon Valley at a time when
computing was closed and proprietary. He

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.957
championed open systems. His vision led
to workstations that powered the early

00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:53.117
internet and the creation of Java.

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.597
Later, he founded Kosla Ventures. He has

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.677
consistently backed ideas that aim to

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.317
solve the society's largest problems

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:02.957
from clean energy to digital tech and as

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.677
the first institutional investor in open
AI. Ladies and gentlemen, let's have

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.517
another huge round of applause for Mr.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:13.080
Vinod Kosla.

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:18.317
With him, we have arguably the most

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.397
influential person in technology right

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.797
now. Steering the development of the

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:25.917
most powerful AI models in history. As

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.637
the CEO of Open AI, he has kicked off

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:33.037
the generative AI era, changing how
the world inter interacts with the

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.277
information, creativity, and

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:42.200
intelligence itself.
A huge round of applause for Mr. Samman

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.837
to formally welcome our distinguished
guests and set the context for this

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.077
historic event. I would now like to call

00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:56.200
upon the stage the director of ID
Delhi, Professor Rangan Banerjee.

00:01:58.080 --> 00:01:59.997
Good morning.

00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:03.597
So nice to see so many of you here.

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.437
And when it was known that Mr. Sam Alman

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:09.757
and Vinod Kosla are going to come here.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.637
We quickly realized that the Dogra hall

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.557
is not going to be enough and all of you

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:19.277
are actually privileged. We could have

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.037
two Dogra halls here if we wanted to fit

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.437
in all those who had registered from IIT

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.517
Delhi itself. Uh we have the minor exams

00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:31.677
going on. I don't know how many of you

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:33.677
have skipped the minor exams to come

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:37.117
here. And I was told some people have

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.157
finished the 2-hour exam in an hour and

00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.197
come down here. How many of you are from

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.997
outside IIT? Please raise your hands.

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.277
Excellent. So we hope that all of you

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.997
would also come for our student tech

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.480
event on next week.

00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:01.917
I'd like to just take this opportunity

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.357
to say that as a higher educational

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:09.997
institute IIIT Delhi AI

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.877
provides an opportunity but also a

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.037
challenge and we need to figure out how

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.637
we train the future generation of people

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:23.437
who are going into the workforce. Uh

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.037
towards this we created a committee of

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.357
faculty members, students and staff to

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:34.877
look at how do we integrate responsible

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.717
AI and what is what is ethical use of AI

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.477
by faculty by students

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.837
and this is an ongoing conversation

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:51.197
we have again through uh we have a

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.277
dedicated school of AI. We have a MTech

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.437
program in machine intelligence and data

00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.037
sciences. We have a PhD program. We've

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.477
also setting up this year. We'll be

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.117
starting the MTech program in machine

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:09.917
intelligence and data sciences in our

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.557
Abu Dhabi campus. We did a curriculum

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.717
review last year and in that curriculum

00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.517
review we we ensured that every student

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.717
of the institute has

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.597
exposure to AI in terms of courses AI
and sustainability. This was one of the

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.517
features of the curriculum review. I'm

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.237
not going to go on about this because I

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:35.117
we want to hear Mr. Sam Alman and Mr.

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:38.237
Vinod Kosla. I just like to say that

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:42.557
just give you one example. Uh we la we

00:04:42.640 --> 00:04:45.517
with the ministry of tribal affairs we

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.397
developed a tool called Adibani

00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.637
which are in

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.757
four tribal languages Santali, Bhili,

00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:56.477
Mundari and others where we are looking

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.837
at AI for the community in communities

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:03.677
which currently do not have access to

00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:06.237
this kind of content.

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:10.157
We are looking at ways and we we are

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.717
delighted that we are entering into a

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.797
partnership with open AI. We are

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:19.997
looking at ways where our students and

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:24.317
our faculty will engage with both

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:26.797
companies like Open AI as well as with

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.837
sovereign AI models so that we can

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.997
co-develop and create responsible AI

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:37.917
which makes a difference
in people's lives.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.037
I'd like to say that we are delighted
to have Mr. Sam Alman here. She's a person

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.877
who's been ahead of the curve in terms

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:47.757
of thinking on AI and generative AI.

00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:50.317
We're also delighted to have with us one

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:54.477
of our own Mr. Binot Kla who has always

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.597
been ahead of the curve and as a student

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.797
here I think 1971 to 1976.

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:07.117
During that time he set up one of the

00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:10.637
first computer laboratories

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.117
in the IIT system and uh so he was ahead

00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:17.437
of the curve at that time. He was also

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:21.197
ahead of the curve when he in 2004 I

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.917
think he donated

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.237
to our institute for setting up
the school of IT which is named after his

00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:32.920
parents and

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:36.557
We at IIT Delhi

00:06:36.640 --> 00:06:39.997
are now a 65 year old institution

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:43.837
and we are in the process of reimagining

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.477
our future. We want to be ahead of the

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.557
curve in education.

00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:52.077
We are looking at IIT Delhi 2035.

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.477
We are looking at changing
our infrastructure. We are

00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.797
going vertical and we would we are

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:01.597
hoping to have Mr. Kosla's support in

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.477
form of ideas as we do this

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.197
reimagination. So with these few words
I'd like to just say that like all of

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:14.317
you I'm looking forward to this
conversation. Thank you so much.

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:20.840
Thank you. I'd like to call upon
the stage Mr. Vinard Kosla and Mr. San

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:29.677
where should we start? Hopefully

00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:33.277
somebody will keep us honest on time.

00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.997
Sam maybe uh first I'm always excited to

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:39.037
see so many young people. So maybe you

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.997
can talk about your observations here.

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:46.717
>> Yeah. Uh this has been
a wonderful trip uh to

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.277
India for me and I have a lot more
exciting stuff today but this is the

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.757
thing I've been most looking forward
to of the entire trip. uh watching what's

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:55.277
happening with young people around the

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.077
world uh especially in India though

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.037
building with incredible energy with AI

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.117
uh the new startups that are going to
happen are already happening the the new

00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:06.557
products and services that are going to

00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:09.837
get created the just total embrace of AI

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.117
and the the excitement and the desire to

00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:16.317
bring all of this agency and energy and

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.477
you know speed to the future is awesome.

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.797
Um I I don't know about you have a note
but I think this is the biggest shift

00:08:24.880 --> 00:08:29.437
that has happened in the landscape of what
a young person can accomplish in my

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:33.197
entire life. >> Uh it's
totally amazing to see and

00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:35.357
watching what people are
doing is just incredible.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.157
>> India has its 100th anniversary of

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.197
independence in 2047

00:08:41.280 --> 00:08:45.037
and I can't imagine a larger shift by

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.637
that day than anybody

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.037
would imagine. So imagine 2047 and what

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:57.997
India might be like by then. We haven't
prepped our question. We just wanted to

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.437
have a conversation. >> I mean
it's going to depend what all all

00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:04.637
of these people do. Uh you all will

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.997
enter adulthood um with super

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.317
intelligence and that's
going to change things a lot.

00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:14.797
But that is an incredible opportunity.

00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:16.477
Uh,

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:20.477
I have a one-year-old kid. Uh, and he is

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:23.037
never going to know a world where he was

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.757
smarter than a computer ever. He
was born just at the right time to never

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.597
outrun a computer. Uh, in raw

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:33.197
intelligence. And, you know, for him

00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:38.077
it'll be totally normal life. For us,
it's a big adaptation. For you all, it's

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:39.917
like a little strange, but you know,

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.237
you're excited about it. what people can

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.877
do with GPUs now um will be the way that

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.997
new value gets created in the world. Uh

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.317
so I don't know what that's going to look
like. Um the node doesn't know what

00:09:54.400 --> 00:09:57.837
that's going to look like. We got
a bunch of highle guesses, but we're not

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:02.077
going to be the ones that build
that into uh all of these incredible new

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:04.317
companies that people will do with that.

00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:08.637
Um examples that we both like are
education is clearly going to totally

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.997
change. Healthcare is clearly totally
going to change. What it means to do

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.837
work is going to totally change.

00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:16.637
Companies may be a few people and a

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.117
giant data center and build incredible

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.757
new kinds of value. Um what it means
to do physical work will change as robots

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.557
can automate more and more manufacturing.
Certainly what it means

00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:28.637
to discover science is going to change.

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.877
The growth rate of economic value in the

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:36.157
world. Uh the increase in quality of life.
A quote that someone from OpenAI

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.437
said to me recently that has really

00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:41.517
stuck with me is we built up a lot of

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.997
instincts and institutions, policies, uh

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.477
structure to deal with a world
of scarcity. But almost none of that

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:52.477
applies well to a world of abundance.

00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:57.117
And in addition to building all these
new kinds of companies uh and products

00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.557
and services, society is going to have
to get reimagined for this world of

00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:04.237
incredible abundance. You've thought
about this a lot. Yeah, I've spent a lot

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.397
of time. Let's ask some practical
questions. Do you think GDP rates on

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.477
whatever is projected by economists

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:13.677
today and every country has its 15 and

00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:18.877
25 year forecasts. Do you think they
more double more than double? What

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.757
happens? >> I think GDP
is going to turn out to be a

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.117
terrible metric um because AI is so

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.277
deflationary. What we what we want to
measure and I think what GDP is meant to

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.437
approximate is sort of quality of life.

00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:35.117
Yeah. and quality of life.
>> Technically, it's a definition of goods

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.637
and services, but it's measured
in dollars, which is money will be a whole

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.317
different thing. >> Yeah.
So, I think a proper metric of

00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:48.157
what GDP is trying to approximate will
growth rate will more than double for

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.477
sure. Um

00:11:50.560 --> 00:11:53.677
GDP measured in nominal dollars

00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:57.837
that probably gets kind of squirly
actually to ask you a weird question. uh

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:00.157
interest rates in five more years

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.077
negative 2% or 20%.

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:06.477
>> Um I think by 2035
for sure we will have

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:09.837
a hugely deflationary economy that the

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:12.317
world isn't thinking about. It's

00:12:12.400 --> 00:12:15.357
interesting because uh Google just

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:19.757
issued 100-year bonds and I said by 2035

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.557
you should own all those bonds because

00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:25.757
the world will be so deflationary that

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.717
it's hard to imagine anybody pretending

00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:32.797
and this is sort of this notion of uh

00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:35.997
you know the world doesn't yet know

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.157
how large the change is and they're

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.997
going on as business as usual. Uh I

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.317
think uh one of your engineers wrote a

00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:49.277
great manifesto. Um can you
talk about that a little bit?

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.837
>> Which manifesto?
>> Uh people do a few of these

00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:53.437
>> forgetting the name.
I just mentioned it

00:12:53.520 --> 00:12:57.757
earlier in the conversation. Um the uh

00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.077
essentially that the world is clueless
about what's going on and the magnitude

00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:05.917
of the change. >> It'll come
to me in just a second. I I

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.157
think even people who work in AI, we

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.317
feel a little bit clueless about the

00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:15.837
magnitude of the change. Codeex is an
example. Uh by the way, Codex is growing

00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:19.037
in India faster than anywhere in the
world. Uh and mostly with young people,

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.757
but Codex is an example of where
everyone's intuitions even though we

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.917
knew this intellectually emotionally we

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.957
were all hit by it. um we have like lots

00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:33.517
of codeax access inside of OpenAI and
what it means to be an engineer uh what

00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.237
it means to be a researcher changed
so much so quickly that I that is just

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.517
going to happen again and again

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:44.797
throughout the economy. Uh and

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:48.397
if you believe which I do that the the

00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.197
top level driver of the economy and of

00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:55.997
life getting better and better every
year is scientific discovery. And then

00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.157
the second most important thing is the
economic engine around that that brings

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.157
these new capabilities out into the world.
And both of those are going to

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.037
get automated at the same time. We're
going to automate scientific progress.

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.717
We're going to automate the whole economy.
And you think about what that

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:14.877
really would mean if these things can
happen 10 times faster, 100 times faster

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.677
than we've been able to do it on our own.

00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:21.437
We were not we did not
evolve to have intuitions

00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:25.037
about that kind of a growth rate
and that kind of compounding. So I don't

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.997
know. But if you were back here as a
student, what would you do tomorrow?

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.837
>> No, I've I've thought about it a lot.

00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:35.837
The the way I frame the minimum level of

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:38.157
change to imagine

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.237
15 years from now. So imagine 2040. Uh

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.397
I have to say I imagine life

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.117
the delta being the same between now and

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.037
2014 uh 20 240 as it is between today

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.357
and 1970.

00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.197
So look back at technology in 1970.

00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:06.157
That's my assumption about Delta and I
think that's too conservative a notion

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.397
because >> I think
that's too conservative.

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.637
>> Yeah. So that's the magnitude of change

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.517
and and people ask me so what should we

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.477
do I say learn how to learn really

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:22.797
really fast like your area of expertise

00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:25.597
doesn't matter whether you're electrical

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:27.757
engineer or a mechanical engineer is

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.037
largely going to be irrelevant in fact I

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.437
scared the director a little bit saying
nothing you learn will be relevant even

00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:39.757
in 2030 but when when
the first year students

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.277
graduate

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.317
you won't have learned anything uh that

00:15:44.400 --> 00:15:46.957
the AI doesn't know better I know Sam if

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:49.597
you agree with me or not

00:15:49.680 --> 00:15:52.237
you you won't know any technical field

00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.157
better uh you may understand better what

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.037
people want uh you may understand much

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.757
better how to interact with people

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.957
motivate people uh how to come up
with creative ideas how to sort of adapt

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:11.837
quickly create value. Um but yeah, any any

00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:15.677
technical skill that you learn the AI
will get better at. Uh it's still worth

00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:19.437
learning, you know, like someone asked
me recently, do I regret learning to

00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:22.317
program? Um because, you know, clearly

00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:23.837
the AI is a better programmer than me.

00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:27.677
No. The and the answer is uh not at all.

00:16:27.760 --> 00:16:31.997
I also don't regret learning math.
I never use math as an adult. Uh learning

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.437
how to think, learning how to learn
quickly. this was all a valuable skill,

00:16:35.520 --> 00:16:37.357
but it it was all of the meta- skills

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.277
that matter. Um, I mean, the one the one

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.437
thing that I think we could say with
confidence of a specific skill to learn

00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:49.357
is when I was in school, learning
to program was the obvious thing. Now,

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.437
learning to use these tools is the
obvious thing. And the fluency that

00:16:53.520 --> 00:16:58.157
people pick up with each new generation,
if you sort of are pushing as much as

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.077
possible on the edge, that that seems
very valuable. If you're a college

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:05.437
student, what do you
think matters the most?

00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:09.837
What's what will matter when
the technical knowledge they have doesn't

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.397
matter? And an electrical engineer can

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.877
do a structural engineer's job quite

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.517
easily. And by the way, we building both

00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:20.237
structural engineers, chip designers,

00:17:20.320 --> 00:17:23.757
uh, and electrical engineers today.

00:17:23.840 --> 00:17:27.837
That'll be used pervasive everywhere.

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.117
So, what do you think matters?

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:35.517
>> Well, I I know I just said this, but I
I can't emphasize enough how important I

00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:37.117
think it is to stay on the forefront of

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.917
the tools. I expect that to be a

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.437
compounding accelerant. Uh so, building

00:17:43.520 --> 00:17:47.757
projects all the time,
just figure out what

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:51.357
what's going to be possible and it's
going to rapidly increase every couple

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.997
of months from now now on that that

00:17:54.080 --> 00:17:57.997
really matters. Um the class that I wish

00:17:58.080 --> 00:18:01.597
my college had offered um

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.517
the the motto of Y cominator is make

00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:06.397
something people want and it is I think

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.677
for 20 years now been like the best

00:18:09.760 --> 00:18:13.437
motto of any investor. Um, and I wish my

00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:15.677
school had offered a class on that

00:18:15.760 --> 00:18:18.557
because I think that is a learnable

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.957
skill figuring that out. And that's
going to be ever more important in a

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:26.557
world where in a world
where you can sort of make

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:31.117
anything happen. Figuring out how to get
good ideas, which like anything else,

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.277
deliberate practice seems to improve.

00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:36.157
Uh, that seems to matter a lot.

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.357
>> Yeah. So my personal view what's most

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.997
important to learn is curiosity and

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:45.197
agency. Can you tell me if you agree,

00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:48.477
disagree, elaborate on that?

00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:51.517
I totally agree. Uh I think agency is

00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:54.717
also a learnable skill. Um the world

00:18:54.800 --> 00:18:58.957
kind of beats it out of you. So you have
to you have to like resist and continue

00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:02.237
to believe that you can sort of figure
anything and make anything happen. And

00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:04.157
the more times you do it, the more

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.757
self-belief you develop. Um, many people

00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:09.997
learn this late in their careers. It is

00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:12.877
super valuable to learn early. Like

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.077
other things, you just have to start and

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.597
you have to keep doing it and you'll

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.037
develop confidence in it. But the the

00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:25.277
returns on agency clearly have never
been higher. You know, we've talked for

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:28.317
a long time about what one person
is going to be able to do with AI. We're

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.717
finally seeing it now. um a single

00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:32.557
person with drive and an idea and

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.357
willpower um can make incredible things

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.717
happen. And in some sense, the most

00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:43.037
important learning of my entire career
has been that if you are right on the

00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:46.557
idea, no matter how unpopular it is,
in fact, it's often better to be unpopular

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.277
because you have no one else you're
competing with doing it and you stick

00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:55.437
with unwavering conviction over a long
time and you just knock down obstacle

00:19:55.520 --> 00:19:59.997
after obstacle with no loss of enthusiasm
between each setback, uh, you

00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:03.997
can accomplish amazing things. This was
certainly the story of OpenAI. Um, now

00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:05.757
it obviously looks like a great thing,

00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:09.517
but when we started it seemed totally

00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:14.077
crazy and it was just like a bunch of us
were in a room with force of will and

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.677
sort of a attitude that we were going
to do it no matter what. And then even the

00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:20.877
first like four or five years of opening
eye, it was sort of it seemed like a

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.557
very bad idea. Thank you for believing

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:27.037
in it by the way. Um, and the agency

00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:30.477
that we had all developed earlier in our
careers, which I wish we had developed

00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:33.917
even earlier, was critical
to making it happen.

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.037
Yeah, I I would say you heard a couple

00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:41.277
of quotes. Uh I think uh one said

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:44.157
the the best way to predict the future

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.917
is to invent it. I go on to add to it.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.157
That was Alan K who said that and I say

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.517
invent the future you want because now

00:20:53.600 --> 00:20:56.557
more than ever that's possible. The key

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.197
is agency and it's always been available

00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:04.077
where you can make the world you want
happen. The director said uh I was part

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.917
of four students who started the first

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.877
computer programming club at IIT Delhi

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.797
which was any programming in any IT

00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.677
had never existed. We just wanted it so

00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:18.637
we made it happen. Um I also with

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.837
professor gua here in 1970s

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.997
started the biomedical engineering
program which is the other side which is

00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:28.717
I got curious as an electrical engineer

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:31.757
about electrical phenomena in the body

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:34.717
and convinced professor guad to start

00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:37.437
the first biomed program anywhere in

00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:40.637
India with the allindia institute of

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.877
medical sciences. I give that as example

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.597
of I was 16 or 17. You can make anything

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.757
happen if you want to and that's what

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.557
agency is about. And when technology and

00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.837
tools make almost anything possible

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.317
agency is what matters. Curiosity for

00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.917
learning and always staying at the

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.437
leading edge and agency to make the

00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:08.157
world happen. There's never been
an opportunity to do startups. I'm very

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.277
excited by this little company we
invested in. They approached me a few

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:14.157
months ago. Um, Emergent launched a

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.397
product in July or August. Last week

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.397
they called me and said they'd exceeded

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.037
100 million ARR rate in 8 months, the

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:25.677
fastest I've seen anybody grow, even

00:22:25.760 --> 00:22:28.157
Lovable or Replet or any of those

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.517
companies. Um, so that opportunity

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:36.397
exists for all of you. I don't know
if you want to do a finishing comment.

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.637
>> Uh, I can't really say anything better
than that. uh this is like a special

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.797
time like I I this is I think the best

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.597
time ever to be starting off careers uh

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.517
and yeah the opportunity is incredible.

00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:53.997
>> Yeah, I'll finish
by a last quote I have

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:56.797
uh most people especially in India are

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.677
especially averse to risk. There's a

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:02.877
Harvard Business School where the case

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.797
that starts with a quote from me saying,

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.237
"My willingness to fail allows me to

00:23:08.320 --> 00:23:10.877
succeed." So, I really encourage all of

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.757
you to go be risktaking.

00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:18.157
There's so much opportunity to take
advantage of it, take advantage of

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.557
tools, curiosity,

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:24.237
um, agency, risk takingaking, and then

00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:26.557
persistence because the path is never

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.517
simple or or smooth. So you have to

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:34.877
persist through the hard times. Thank you.
I think there's we are at the end

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.600
of our talk. >> Okay.

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.037
>> Uh what a wonderful conversation guys.

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:43.117
Uh we had Miss Anita Williams a month

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.317
back and the idea that learning is such

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.317
an important thing for for such huge
personas for such huge stalwarts. I

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.317
think that is one of the most humbling

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.757
things we learn here today. Uh now we'd

00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:59.917
like to open up the floor uh for students
to ask their own questions. For

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.997
this I'd like to invite on stage Mr.

00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:07.117
Raghav Gupta the head of education
for open AI in India. Uh he's currently

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.197
leading leading partnerships with
academic institutions ensuring that AI

00:24:11.280 --> 00:24:16.840
is integrated responsibly
across all dimensions.

00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:21.997
>> Good morning. It's incredible seeing a

00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:25.437
packed hall. Um Sam, I know you have a

00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:30.477
packed uh few days in India and there
are many senior meetings but uh to me it

00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:33.117
seems like this is going to be the most
exciting session. Would you would you

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.917
agree? I do. And I'd love to ask the

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.517
students as well. Are you all excited

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:42.317
for this conversation? Uh I mean come on

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.357
now you we can do better.

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:50.200
Are you all excited
for this conversation with Sam?

00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:55.517
So, so we have some of India's uh bright
young minds here and they're studying

00:24:55.600 --> 00:24:58.877
engineering, they're studying computer
science, I think we have health

00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.317
sciences, management, design and so on.

00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.277
Um I think you all sent us like 800 plus

00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:07.517
questions. Uh we can't take all 800 but

00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:10.397
I've shortlisted the broad themes and

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.917
we'll invite you to ask them live. Um

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.317
I'll kick us off a little bit. U Sam you
wrote this um article in Times of India

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.997
earlier this week and the headline kind
of captured your message very nicely

00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:24.797
where it said that um AI will define

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.877
India's future and um India will define

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.397
AI's future as well and I know at the
AI summit you've seen a lot of what's

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.837
happening around uh development in AI
would you like to talk a little bit

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.557
about your impressions u there

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:40.317
>> India is already our second largest

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.997
market there's 100 million chatbt users

00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:47.437
a third of them are students fastest
growing codex market in the world. India

00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:49.597
should be our largest market over time.

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.317
More than just usage of products like

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.957
Chachi PT that the building energy in

00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:57.837
India um seems like it is growing faster

00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.397
than anywhere else. The desire to really
create new kinds of products and

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.037
services, brand new companies that are
all about AI. Uh this is Yeah, it's just

00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:09.277
amazing and so it's been great to be here.

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:11.277
>> Wonderful. Um so we're going to go to

00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:13.917
the students next and u we'll open it up

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.957
live. I I think we have Mukund who's

00:26:17.040 --> 00:26:21.517
going to ask the first question
and Mukund is from IIT Delhi. Uh let's get

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:26.477
get started with Mukund then. >> Hi Sam,
I'm Mukun from the department of

00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:30.557
mathematics IT Delhi. I'm in my final
year pursuing a integrated master's

00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.237
degree. So my question is you have
talked about intelligence becoming a

00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:38.877
cheap utility but we are seeing
a specialized high reasoning models being

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:43.117
gated by premium subscriptions. So how
do you reconcile the concept of broad

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:45.597
access uh with the economic viability of

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.077
these frontier models?

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.077
>> I think the most amazing thing well

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.117
there's many amazing things I can't
say the most. One of the amazing things

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.517
happening is the rate at which AI is

00:26:57.600 --> 00:26:59.197
getting cheaper at a given level of

00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:03.197
intelligence. Um, we are, if you look at

00:27:03.280 --> 00:27:05.197
a hard reasoning problem, what it would

00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:06.957
have cost you to solve it using an

00:27:07.040 --> 00:27:10.637
OpenAI API um, a year and a half ago

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.157
versus now, it's down about a,000x.

00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:19.037
A,000x in 18 months is just that doesn't
happen very often. Um, I don't think

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:23.197
we'll be able to sustain another
thousandx over the next 18 months, but

00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:25.517
maybe we will, but there will be a

00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:30.477
significant decrease in in cost. So our

00:27:30.560 --> 00:27:32.797
goal here is to relentlessly drive the

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:34.397
cost of intelligence down as close to

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.997
zero as we can. Um and then make that

00:27:38.080 --> 00:27:40.717
available to the world as a very lowcost

00:27:40.800 --> 00:27:44.637
asset. Uh and for a bunch of reasons uh

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.557
accessibility being one of them. That's
that's a critical part of our mission.

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.437
Um there are going to be a bunch of

00:27:51.520 --> 00:27:53.757
societal disruptions around that. Like

00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:58.317
part of society has maybe

00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.677
We talked earlier about this issue of um

00:28:01.760 --> 00:28:05.357
abundance versus scarcity, but society
has been used to intelligence being a

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:09.997
relatively scarce resource. Um also
the ability to make things happen in the

00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:14.077
physical world, energy, robotics,
whatever. If all of that changes, I

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.557
don't think society yet has a consensus

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.717
on how things are going to work and

00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:24.157
where the the limits, the natural limits
are going to be. But I do think the cost

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:28.637
of intelligence is going to trend down
and down and in terms of empowering the

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.797
entire world that's very important.

00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.397
>> Uh we'll go to uh Tjis next who's also

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:38.557
from IIT Delhi and I know the director
also spoke a little bit about uh safety

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.357
and I think Tjis your question
is related to that. So go ahead please.

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.277
>> Yeah. Hi Sam, I'm the Raj Mangala.
I'm currently a final year student here at

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:47.597
IT Delhi. I'm pursuing my bachelor's in

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.077
computational mechanics. Uh my question

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:53.277
for you is how do we keep AI safe

00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:57.757
without blocking innovation from things
like prompt injection that are happening

00:28:57.840 --> 00:28:59.437
recently?

00:28:59.520 --> 00:29:02.957
I I think there's three things here. Um

00:29:03.040 --> 00:29:05.757
one, we have to figure out how to

00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:11.197
technically align AI. Um we have made
better progress there than I thought we

00:29:11.280 --> 00:29:14.157
might have, but there's still things
to do as we get to these systems that are

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.037
truly much smarter than we are. How we

00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:19.437
supervise those systems

00:29:19.520 --> 00:29:21.517
requires new ideas. As we get to a world

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:25.037
where AI is writing so much source code

00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:28.717
and doing so much research, we can't
review all of it. There's a bunch of

00:29:28.800 --> 00:29:30.237
things that used to feel like sci-fi

00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:32.957
that are now clear alignment challenges

00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:35.997
that we have to that we have to address.

00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:38.877
Um, we've been doing work here for a
while. Other labs have been doing work

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.357
here for a while. On the whole,

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.317
alignment has looked easier than I

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.637
feared, but we're clearly not done. So,

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:49.517
bucket one is technical safety work

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:52.957
around alignment. Two is there's a whole

00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:56.797
new kind of security infrastructure that
needs to get built. You mentioned prompt

00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:58.157
injection. I think that's a great

00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.597
example. Open claw is an amazing thing.

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:05.997
Codeex is an amazing thing.
I thought that I was going to be a very

00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:10.957
disciplined person and not let them
run on my computer with root access uh

00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:14.157
because I thought that was an insane
thing to do and that lasted about two

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.917
hours and then I was like gh it's really
annoying to approve everything. It's so

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.037
convenient. I want to just I'm going to
just like let it rip. And if I'm willing

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:23.677
to do that a lot of other people will be
willing to do that too. I should be one

00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:28.397
of the more conservative ones there.
So I think we need to develop a a new kind

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.997
of security architecture
different from the

00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:34.797
model technical alignment to let people

00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:39.357
be able to use these agents without
insane things happening. Like it is

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.037
awesome that you can run something
on your computer and it can get to know

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:46.237
everything about your life and record
your screen and use the web for you and

00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:50.397
everything else. Um it will be
significantly less awesome if it starts

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:54.957
like randomly telling your secrets
to people it shouldn't. Um and then third

00:30:55.040 --> 00:30:57.037
and most important

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:58.637
you mentioned not blocking innovation. I

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:04.317
super agree. Uh the the kind of like
these are caricatures because everybody

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.597
is a little bit in the middle but the

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.277
kind of the two paths the world is

00:31:07.360 --> 00:31:11.437
looking at right now is either we accept

00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:15.437
you know an AI company or country
or model having sort of effective

00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:18.077
totalitarian control over the world for

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.117
no safety problems at all. You have one

00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.037
AI to rule them all. has been people's

00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:25.837
vision over time. Um the other is that

00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.277
we superdemocratize access and we put

00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:33.757
powerful AI in everyone's hands and we
trust that if you you know out of a 100

00:31:33.840 --> 00:31:37.117
people 99 are going to be good one
person bad the good people will stop the

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.797
bad some things are going to go wrong
in that world people are for sure going to

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:43.437
misuse AI uh in small and probably in

00:31:43.520 --> 00:31:47.437
big ways um but for a long time the

00:31:47.520 --> 00:31:51.837
world I think has shown that if people
are basically most people are good and

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.397
the good people stop the bad people
as long as there's not a huge power

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.797
imbalance. We can get to a world where

00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.997
we democratize AI. Everybody lifts up

00:32:00.080 --> 00:32:02.317
and that kind of keeps the new powerful

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.037
bad forces in check.
This is the story of of

00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:09.277
society for a long time. It will be

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:14.077
messy. Things will go wrong. Um but

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:18.317
I think empowering everyone and having
a wide distribution of power is the best

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.957
fairest and safest path forward. We call

00:32:21.040 --> 00:32:25.357
this resilience. So instead of just
there's a alignment, there's security

00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.757
and then there's this newer idea
of resilience where I think it no longer

00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:33.117
works for open AI to just say we will
block our models from telling people how

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.797
to make a pathogen because some open
source model is going to help some bad

00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.477
guy make a pathogen and we have to have
society ready to defend against that

00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:43.037
with rapid response vaccines sort of new

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:45.037
ways to block respiratory transmission

00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:48.237
whatever else. Um yeah that's what I

00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:50.317
would say. So the next question is from

00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.157
Yash and he's not here so I'll read it

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.997
out on his behalf. Um I read that uh a

00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:57.837
lot of research behind study mode in

00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:01.037
chat GPT happened in India last year and

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:05.517
so if OpenAI were to build a product
specifically for India not adapted but

00:33:05.600 --> 00:33:10.237
designed for India first what
problem would you want to it to solve?

00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:11.837
>> I would rather one
of you figure out the

00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:15.997
answer to that. Um, we

00:33:16.080 --> 00:33:17.677
way more innovation is going to happen

00:33:17.760 --> 00:33:20.077
outside of OpenAI than inside of OpenAI.

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.357
And our strategy is to build the core

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:25.917
model and the basic way to use it,

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:28.877
ChachiBT, the API agents like Codex and

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.797
the general agent and really empower

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:33.117
everybody else to build it. Um, one of

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:36.077
my learnings from OpenAI is that most

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.477
innovation in the world uh comes from

00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:42.797
startups and we want to empower them.

00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.317
Um I think we're going to shift gears
a little bit to a health related question

00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:52.077
which is uh going to come from Aish
from as you have the microphone. Yeah, go

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.957
ahead. >> Hello.
Uh my name is Arnesh. I'm a

00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:57.437
thirdyear medical student at as uh New

00:33:57.520 --> 00:34:00.557
Delhi and uh my question is about uh

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.837
Chad GBD health. So uh we know that Chad

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.557
GBT health connects to Apple health and

00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:11.357
medical records but uh in India people

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:14.397
uh most people have neither they have uh

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.517
mostly just a phone. So my question is

00:34:17.600 --> 00:34:21.037
uh how would you rethink uh health AI in

00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:24.877
a country like India?
>> I love using chat for health. I don't

00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.517
have it connected to anything. I type
in lots of notes. Every time I get like a

00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:33.037
blood test or something, I upload it.
If every time I have symptoms, I type it

00:34:33.120 --> 00:34:35.597
in. It works really well without medical

00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:38.397
records. Um, we'd love to connect to any

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:40.557
platforms that emerge in India as

00:34:40.640 --> 00:34:44.157
important platforms, but one of a huge

00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:46.957
volume of chat GBT is health related

00:34:47.040 --> 00:34:51.597
queries and with no connectors at all,
we've worked to make it very good.

00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:54.637
>> Um, I think you'll like the next
question uh which is going to come from

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:57.997
Vijay uh who's from IIT Delhi. Uh Vijay

00:34:58.080 --> 00:35:02.477
you have the microphone. Uh hi Sam I'm
Vijay uh I'm a third year student at IIT

00:35:02.560 --> 00:35:07.357
Delhi in computer science department.
So I would like to know um how would I

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.037
undergrads be able to join OpenAI
directly and what are the current and

00:35:11.120 --> 00:35:13.917
future objectives of OpenAI's office in

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:19.720
India? Uh we would love
for you to join OpenAI.

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.477
Um, we would love for you to join join

00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:27.437
OpenAI either in our office in India or

00:35:27.520 --> 00:35:30.477
in the US. I think these next couple of

00:35:30.560 --> 00:35:33.037
years are going to be the most exciting

00:35:33.120 --> 00:35:38.797
years yet in the development of AI. Um,
and the coolest, well, hopefully there's

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.837
a lot of cool parts about being an open
eye, but I think the coolest part is you

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.757
get to see the future and use the tools
like six months before everybody else.

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.757
And the work that that enables in the
development process is awesome. So, we

00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.637
would love to hear from you. By the way,
you can ask me like harder, more

00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:53.997
controversial questions. I won't be

00:35:54.080 --> 00:35:57.597
offended. Like go for it.

00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:01.597
I like those. And I think you might have
seen uh you know, we have an office in

00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:05.837
Delhi. We've just announced offices
in Bangalore and Mumbai as well. So the

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:07.757
team is growing rapidly. So would love

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.597
to engage on this conversation. Um okay,

00:36:11.680 --> 00:36:14.717
we're going to go to Sahed next. Uh

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:19.437
Sahi, sorry. Um who's from Amiti
University and you have the microphone.

00:36:19.520 --> 00:36:22.637
Hi Sam, I'm Sah. I'm from Amit
University. I'm a 30-year student

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:25.197
pursuing artificial intelligence in AI

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.837
in Amit University. So my question is in

00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.157
today's market where 18 year olds are

00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:33.037
competing for jobs with AI, what unfair

00:36:33.120 --> 00:36:37.837
advantage do we humans have a lot uh

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.037
watching the very best people now work
with AI is really incredible and so

00:36:43.120 --> 00:36:46.237
different than a year ago. But you watch
these people that have like six monitors

00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:47.997
on their desk, three agents per monitor

00:36:48.080 --> 00:36:53.277
like going session by session.
One person can do what a team of

00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:54.797
um

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.837
a lot of engineers used to take to do.

00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.357
And when you can keep a whole problem in

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.317
one human head and manage a bunch
of agents, you are able to bring things to

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:11.197
life at a speed and quality level you
just couldn't do before. Um, and there's

00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:14.717
still, this may change something in the
future, but there's still something that

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:18.797
humans are so good at, that AI is so
bad at about thinking through the sort of

00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.277
like highle strategy of a system or a

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.197
product or whatever. Um, that people who

00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:27.597
are proficient at using AI have a huge

00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:32.797
advantage uh, not just over AI, but over
other people who are not doing that. uh

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:34.557
in the long-term future, I don't know

00:37:34.640 --> 00:37:36.157
exactly what the advantage will look

00:37:36.240 --> 00:37:41.117
like will be, but um we seem so wired to

00:37:41.200 --> 00:37:43.117
care about other people and care so

00:37:43.200 --> 00:37:48.557
little about machines uh that

00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:52.797
somehow that feels like it's going
to be part of whatever the answer is.

00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.757
So the next question is a little
linked to what the prime minister said

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.997
yesterday as well and you know he said

00:37:58.080 --> 00:37:59.437
there are two kinds of people in the

00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:03.277
world. one who think that AI is fearful,

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:07.677
the others who are very you know excited
about the future of what AI can bring

00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:11.517
and I think the next question is a little
bit about jobs and you know that

00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:13.837
comes up often of course uh which is

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.117
from uh Guru Dhanush. So go ahead Chris.

00:38:17.200 --> 00:38:20.877
>> Hi sir, my name is Guru Danush. I am
a second year BK student in mathematics

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:25.277
and computing. My question is what do
you say to the workers who fear that

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.357
their jobs will be outdated in next five

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:29.277
years and what skills should they be

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.557
focusing on now? Anyone who says they're

00:38:32.640 --> 00:38:35.997
only excited or only fearful about AI is

00:38:36.080 --> 00:38:39.597
I think not being very thoughtful.
I don't think it's two camps. I think

00:38:39.680 --> 00:38:41.837
there's a continuum of people based on

00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.157
whether you're 90% excited and 10%

00:38:44.240 --> 00:38:47.677
fearful or 90% fearful and 10% excited.

00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.757
But as with any change of this magnitude

00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.077
happening this quickly, um, and with

00:38:54.160 --> 00:38:59.197
this much unknown, this much promise,
this much obvious peril, um, it's it you

00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.397
you have to be somewhere on that spectrum.
You can't it can't be sort of

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.757
at at either end. Um,

00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.637
a big part of that is what the impact on

00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:11.997
jobs is going to be. And

00:39:12.080 --> 00:39:15.917
I will caveat this with lots of other
things by AI by saying that no one

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.077
really knows including us. There will be

00:39:18.160 --> 00:39:21.437
many surprises. Um, some jobs will

00:39:21.520 --> 00:39:25.917
totally go away. Many jobs will not

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:31.357
change as much as it seems like they
should with AI because we have, you

00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:35.517
know, we want someone else to be doing
that. we still go want a human doctor to

00:39:35.600 --> 00:39:37.517
tell us things even if they we know the

00:39:37.600 --> 00:39:40.077
AI gives better advice or any many other

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:42.717
set of examples. Uh or you know

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:47.437
entrepreneurs will still start companies
they'll just grow faster and they'll do

00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:50.637
more and it'll be more
disruptive to existing jobs.

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:54.477
And then most of all,

00:39:54.560 --> 00:39:58.317
every time in history that there's been
a major technological shift, we have

00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.677
underestimated how quickly
the new jobs are going to

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.797
come and how different they were going

00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.037
to be. It'd be very hard to think about

00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:11.037
my job, for example, before computers
were invented. Um, and impossible to

00:40:11.120 --> 00:40:12.557
think about my job before, say, the

00:40:12.640 --> 00:40:15.437
industrial revolution. Um, there are

00:40:15.520 --> 00:40:18.477
jobs now that are

00:40:18.560 --> 00:40:20.557
incredibly good jobs that didn't exist

00:40:20.640 --> 00:40:23.597
as a category 20 years ago, even if

00:40:23.680 --> 00:40:26.637
someone from 500 years ago could look at

00:40:26.720 --> 00:40:29.997
the jobs of the world today, um,

00:40:30.080 --> 00:40:32.397
generally speaking, they would say about

00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.597
many of the jobs, um, certainly my job,

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:40.077
you know, death's not a real job. You're
doing fine. You could, you don't have to

00:40:40.160 --> 00:40:43.517
be working. You're like, you've got
plenty of food. you've got access to

00:40:43.600 --> 00:40:46.557
great shelter. Like this is this is not

00:40:46.640 --> 00:40:47.837
a job they could have imagined and it

00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.437
wouldn't look like real work. I hope

00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:55.357
100 years from now, not even 500,
we would all look at the jobs and be like,

00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.357
"Those people are impossibly rich.
They have everything they could ever want.

00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:03.677
They are making up ways to spend their
time to entertain themselves. It's a,

00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:07.437
you know, it's a player of game style
existence. They don't really need this."

00:41:07.520 --> 00:41:10.157
Um, and

00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:13.037
that is sort of the history of society

00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:17.837
building up more collective
welfare for each other.

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:21.437
Uh, and I think that's great, but we never

00:41:21.520 --> 00:41:24.957
run out of things to do. We have never
gotten to the sort of like thing that

00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:28.477
people have theorized for for centuries
now, which is technology is going to

00:41:28.560 --> 00:41:31.757
progress so much that we just sit around
and do nothing. We find new things to

00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.437
do. We find new ways to express
our creativity. Um, we find new ways to be

00:41:35.520 --> 00:41:36.957
useful to each other. you find new ways

00:41:37.040 --> 00:41:39.517
to, you know, gain status or whatever,

00:41:39.600 --> 00:41:42.477
whatever it is. Uh

00:41:42.560 --> 00:41:47.357
many of you will eventually do jobs
that don't exist today even really as a

00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.797
concept. It doesn't mean
that the transition is

00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.037
not painful. I expect for many people it

00:41:53.120 --> 00:41:56.077
will be very painful. Um

00:41:56.160 --> 00:41:59.357
as society gets richer quickly, I hope

00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.637
we find new socioeconomic models to make
it less painful. But I'm less worried

00:42:04.720 --> 00:42:07.997
about the long-term future. And I think
we'll find new things to do in in not

00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:10.317
very long. >> So we've
announced a partnership with

00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.317
the Tata group yesterday and you know
it's about compute, it's about data

00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.477
centers and so on. Now I think the next

00:42:16.560 --> 00:42:18.237
question relates to that a little bit.

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.517
Uh and which is from Kub from IIT Delhi.

00:42:21.600 --> 00:42:25.037
Uh go ahead Gaussub. >> Hi Sam,
my name is Kausub. I'm a second

00:42:25.120 --> 00:42:29.357
year PhD student here at the school
of AI IT Delhi. I wanted to ask a question

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.677
about what are the steps that open
AAI is taking towards building green AI

00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:35.997
solutions for the world.
>> To building what solutions?

00:42:36.080 --> 00:42:37.517
>> Green AI solutions. >> Real

00:42:37.600 --> 00:42:38.157
>> green green

00:42:38.240 --> 00:42:43.037
>> green. Oh. Uh I think

00:42:43.120 --> 00:42:46.957
the world is only a few years away from

00:42:47.040 --> 00:42:49.597
fusion and really reliable solar wind

00:42:49.680 --> 00:42:53.117
plus storage. And I further think that

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:56.237
those will become uh the cheapest source

00:42:56.320 --> 00:43:00.877
of energy in the world.
And when that happens, the economy will

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:03.197
do its thing. And not just AI, but

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:05.757
everybody else will use new forms of

00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.517
energy. Um the this is important for a

00:43:09.600 --> 00:43:11.997
ton of reasons. Uh but one that gets

00:43:12.080 --> 00:43:14.477
talked about less is as part of this if

00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:19.117
we can drive massive abundance of energy
um in the same way that we can drive

00:43:19.200 --> 00:43:21.277
abundance of intelligence I think that

00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.997
will do a huge amount to elevate people

00:43:24.080 --> 00:43:27.437
around the world. Um so obviously we

00:43:27.520 --> 00:43:30.317
care about it environmentally uh and are

00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:33.277
committed to do that. We really care

00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:35.917
about it from a

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.677
sort of duty to the world to make energy

00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.717
abundant and perspective. Uh we're going

00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.277
to go uh change gears a little bit
and uh I was saying earlier we have uh

00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:50.477
students from creative uh industries
as well. Um so the next question u is

00:43:50.560 --> 00:43:54.557
around that and I think it's from Parisha.
Uh if you have the microphone

00:43:54.640 --> 00:43:58.717
go ahead please. >> Uh hi
Sam I'm Parisha from Pearl

00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.957
Academy. I'm pursuing interior and

00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:04.077
architectural design. So my question is

00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:07.037
uh like AI became the tool that that can

00:44:07.120 --> 00:44:12.397
generate uh images, space and uh create

00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:16.477
entire concept. How designer can ensure

00:44:16.560 --> 00:44:20.397
and uh ensure their work still reflect

00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:24.397
the human emotions, cultural identity

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:29.357
and originality um rather
than becoming too machine

00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:30.877
driven.

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.277
>> Great question. Um, I used to be more

00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.557
worried about this and you know I wasn't

00:44:36.640 --> 00:44:41.997
sure totally how it was going to go when
models could sort of create anything.

00:44:42.080 --> 00:44:46.477
Watching what's happened in practice
though and talking to creators, uh, not

00:44:46.560 --> 00:44:50.477
everyone, but generally speaking,
people say this is the best thing ever to

00:44:50.560 --> 00:44:51.917
happen as a tool in their creative

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.517
process if they can explore ideas and

00:44:55.600 --> 00:45:00.237
have a machine help them search
the space and then pick at each

00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.157
layer which direction they want to go.

00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:06.157
Um, and if we can make their creative

00:45:06.240 --> 00:45:08.157
ideation loop faster and faster and

00:45:08.240 --> 00:45:11.517
faster, where the time from idea to then

00:45:11.600 --> 00:45:15.277
seen and results and then coming up
with a new idea from that gets shorter and

00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.157
shorter and talking to creators, whether

00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:20.317
they're visual artists or people making

00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.757
videos or music. Um, they all care a

00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.357
lot, as do I, that the human spirit
and the human direction and the human

00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.797
imprint is in this, but they all think
they'll be able to create much better

00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:35.037
stuff than ever before. Another thing
for optimism, back on this earlier point

00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:37.517
about people really are very hardwired

00:45:37.600 --> 00:45:39.997
to care about other people. We are

00:45:40.080 --> 00:45:44.477
seeing a I think predictable but still

00:45:44.560 --> 00:45:47.917
surprising to some people result which

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:51.357
is if you show someone an image if you

00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:55.197
say I I'll sell you this piece of art
and an AI made it and it's beautiful but

00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:57.837
you know an AI made it the the value

00:45:57.920 --> 00:45:59.837
that people put on that effectively

00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:04.957
rounds to zero. Um,
if a human made it, even with AI

00:46:05.040 --> 00:46:07.917
tools and it's, you know, someone who
you can connect to and has a story and

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.237
put their creative energy into it
and had something they were trying to

00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:15.597
express, uh, but AI helped them in their
creative process, it's worth a lot. But

00:46:15.680 --> 00:46:18.317
without the person like effectively
signing their name to it and saying

00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:23.037
like, "This is my thing." We seem to not
care. And I think that's another very

00:46:23.120 --> 00:46:26.237
positive sign for what it's going
to be like for human creators.

00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:29.837
>> And I know you're on a discussion with
Kavan Johar later today, so some of this

00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.077
will come up a little bit more as well.

00:46:32.160 --> 00:46:35.917
U and he's very popular movie director
as you know. So I know this is going to

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.477
be a conversation uh further up as well.

00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:42.317
Uh I'm a little conscious we're uh maybe
coming up a little bit on time. I'll

00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:46.077
take two more questions and then I want
to do a little bit of rapid fire at the

00:46:46.160 --> 00:46:48.317
end as well Sam if you're open to that.

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:52.877
Um I think we have Paridi next.
Uh Paridi if you have the microphone. Yeah

00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:56.077
go ahead. >> Hi Sam I am
Paridi from Amit University.

00:46:56.160 --> 00:46:58.877
I'm currently in third year of my

00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:03.677
artificial intelligence degree.
My question to you is that uh recently

00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:07.677
there have been a lot of concerns
regarding the use of water in cooling

00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.997
down the servers and that it's leading

00:47:10.080 --> 00:47:13.037
to water scarcity. So what is open AI

00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:17.517
doing to you know uh people help people

00:47:17.600 --> 00:47:19.357
uh dismiss the these concerns.

00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:21.517
>> So the the energy concern and the need

00:47:21.600 --> 00:47:24.637
to move to green energy I think is very

00:47:24.720 --> 00:47:27.677
real. uh that that's something that at

00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.477
the scale AI is developing can be a

00:47:30.560 --> 00:47:32.797
significant issue. The water concern I

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.197
think is no longer real. Uh there was a

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:40.157
time when data centers were you using
evaporative cooling. Um that is not

00:47:40.240 --> 00:47:45.037
something that people are doing much
anymore. Um the there is you know

00:47:45.120 --> 00:47:49.117
obviously some water consumption
in producing semiconductors

00:47:49.200 --> 00:47:51.517
but if you look at AI data centers they

00:47:51.600 --> 00:47:53.917
are not significant consumers of water.

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:56.397
This has been an incredibly sticky meme.

00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:59.117
I don't totally understand why.
You know, there's people who say, "Well, I

00:47:59.200 --> 00:48:02.477
don't use ChachiBT because each time
you ask it a question, it uses up seven

00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:06.077
gallons of water or whatever." It's
totally not true. We've tried to explain

00:48:06.160 --> 00:48:07.757
it's not true. It's been very sticky for

00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:09.997
whatever reason. Um, but I think the

00:48:10.080 --> 00:48:13.917
focus on energy does make sense.

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.197
>> All right. I I know we have a lot
more questions. Uh, but I'm I'm conscious

00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:21.117
we're coming up on time. So, Ocean will
come to you and, uh, please go ahead and

00:48:21.200 --> 00:48:23.917
ask your question. >> Yeah.
Hi, Sam. My name is Oshini Adaral.

00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.197
I'm a PhD scholar at the transportation
research and injury prevention center

00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.797
here. So my question is, what is the
biggest mistake you see young people

00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.997
make right now when they
apparently prepare for AI?

00:48:36.080 --> 00:48:37.437
Man, I'm going to answer this. I hope

00:48:37.520 --> 00:48:40.957
this talk is not recorded. Uh

00:48:41.040 --> 00:48:47.720
I think listening to old people
is the biggest mistake young people make.

00:48:48.640 --> 00:48:52.637
I I think your your parents obviously
love you more than anyone. They're

00:48:52.720 --> 00:48:55.357
extremely well-meaning. Um for advice

00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:59.997
about how to live a happy life or how
to be a a good person, there is no one you

00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:01.917
should listen to

00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.157
more than your parents. Um but

00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:10.877
for a predictor of what the world
is going to be like going forward, um I

00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:15.997
think you should trust me for having
good intuition of the rate of change. Um

00:49:16.080 --> 00:49:19.437
it young people always figure this out the

00:49:19.520 --> 00:49:22.877
best and the world you are all

00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.437
inheriting is going to be very different

00:49:25.520 --> 00:49:27.677
and you'll have to quickly develop your

00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.957
own intuitions and trust them. Um but I

00:49:31.040 --> 00:49:35.997
think the traditional career advice
is probably not going to work as well.

00:49:36.080 --> 00:49:39.357
>> Wonderful. Thank you for taking all
those questions. Uh let's do a quick

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.837
rapid fire and you can choose to answer
with one word or one sentence but uh

00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.837
that's what you need to uh kind of keep

00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:48.797
to um and I have like four or five

00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:53.357
questions. U the first one so will
the next trillion dollar AI company come

00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:56.637
from India? >> I hope so.

00:49:56.720 --> 00:50:03.000
Nice. Most overrated fear about AI

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.757
like killer robots in the streets.

00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.517
Most underrated opportunity

00:50:11.600 --> 00:50:14.477
>> zero person companies

00:50:14.560 --> 00:50:19.720
bigger change in five years
education or healthcare

00:50:21.680 --> 00:50:25.997
education. >> And last
one skill every IT back

00:50:26.080 --> 00:50:27.757
healthare that's close though.

00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.517
>> Okay last question. One skill every IIT

00:50:31.600 --> 00:50:34.317
student should build this year.

00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:35.277
>> Resilience.

00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.757
>> Resilience. Wonderful.

00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:41.997
Thank you all. Thank you.

00:50:42.080 --> 00:50:43.677
>> Thank you so much for interacting with

00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:46.877
our students and uh this has indeed been

00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:49.197
a very memorable evening for all of us

00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:51.917
and in order to ensure that you also

00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.877
remember us uh once you go out of this

00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:59.357
institute. Uh we'd like to present
our small token of gratitude. For that I'd

00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.677
like to call Mr. Vinod Koslaser uh back

00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:08.400
on stage and also the director
uh to present uh our guests.

00:51:49.120 --> 00:51:51.757
I I want to finish given you gave me a

00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:53.597
baseball cap. Thank you. With one

00:51:53.680 --> 00:51:56.877
comment. I think in the next few four

00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:59.997
years this baseball cap will read my

00:52:00.080 --> 00:52:03.197
mind and input directly into computers.

00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:09.037
We may succeed fail
at that but we are trying.

00:52:09.120 --> 00:52:14.237
>> Uh >> oh yes. >> I'd like
I'd like to request Sam now to

00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:17.677
capture this moment with the audience
with a selfie. I'd like to call upon the

00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:21.677
stage uh the associate dean of academic
outreach and new initiatives uh

00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:25.997
professor Shelpi Sharma
and professor Deepak Jan for this.

00:52:26.080 --> 00:52:28.557
>> So we're doing a selfie
right with with everybody.

00:52:28.640 --> 00:52:31.800
>> Thank you.
