The speaker discusses the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications on human intelligence. They start by sharing their personal experience of reading, particularly a book called "The Ultimate Secret" by Bernard Werber, which discusses a computer's victory over chess world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. The speaker also mentions the Elo rating system, which is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games.
The speaker then delves into the capabilities of AI, mentioning how it can process large amounts of information quickly and accurately. They mention the Watson supercomputer, which uses AI to understand and analyze informal speech and answer questions, and how it won a quiz show in 2011. The speaker also discusses how AI is used in various applications, such as Microsoft's InnerEye project, which helps doctors interpret computer tomography photos, and how Watson can process a patient's information and suggest treatment options.
The speaker then explores the concept of human memory and how it can be compared to a computer's memory. They mention how a human brain can be likened to a small attic that can be filled with useful or useless knowledge, and how a smart person carefully selects what to store. The speaker also mentions that the brain's memory capacity is not yet fully understood.
The speaker then discusses the concept of inspiration and creativity, stating that machines do not experience inspiration and their works have no meaning or idea. They mention a quote from Nick Mason, a drummer of the "Pink Floyd" band, who said that until robots learn to throw TVs out of the window of their hotels or puke in the dressing room, they will never substitute real drummers.
The speaker concludes by stating that artificial intelligence was created to help humans, and they express concerns about potential glitches in AI systems. They also mention a challenge for viewers to find key words hidden in their videos and complete a sentence in a way that will make them speechless. They thank Sergei Markov, a specialist in AI and machine learning, for helping with the script.
