Interview with Kevin Kelly: We are too anxious about AI and VR Please be more patient

Although it was called "Prophecy", Kevin Kelly never wanted to relate to "prophecy." When "runaway" was introduced to China a few years ago, he said, "I'm looking at the future more than I think." A few years later, he used a large paragraph of text in the preface of the "Necessity" to elaborate the difference between prediction and trend analysis. In his own words, "They (trends) don't provide predictions of where we are going", but tell us in which direction we will go.

Even so, the World Smart Manufacturing Conference put Kevin Kelly on the propaganda poster with the words “Prophecy”. When he was interviewed by the General Assembly, he deliberately ran the subject and reconfirmed that he did not make any product or company's predictions.

In this case, interviewing Kevin Kelly will not be an easy task. Because you always have to think about whether your problem seems too quick and immediate, or not to “fudge” him in another way. For example, how can the “manufacturing industry should integrate advanced technology” be converted into “what is the logic behind the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies?” or “more optimistic about which area of ​​artificial intelligence companies” is changed to “the combination of digital technology and physical manufacturing?” Where is the true value?"

Perhaps it is precisely because of these fundamental aspects that you will find that he is much more excited when facing such problems than he is doing keynote speeches on the stage, and the language is far better understood than the speeches on stage. For example, he imagined how the manufacturing industry should use artificial intelligence to create new areas in the real economy. But when it comes to how big data should be understood by traditional enterprises in the process of technology transformation, they will give very pertinent suggestions.

So this is not an interview that can easily sum up one or two views. Our interview with Kevin Kelly focused on the transformation of the manufacturing industry, but it also involved the return of the value of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other fields of science and technology, and what kind of an “ecological enterprise” should have. Although we used segmented subtitles and bold texts to help you summarize some of the points in the interview, but with the experience of their industry to see this interview, I believe you will be more rewarding.

The following is an interview with the record:

Manufacturing industry should join the long-term trend of technology, but please be ready to face challenges

Q: Did you plan to write a new book recently?

Kevin Kelly: No, I haven’t written a plan yet. "Necessity" should be the last "book" I wrote. In the future, I am more interested in using video to create, because my children and their friends are not reading. They are all accustomed to watching video clips on Youtube. I think I will focus on using the video to convey ideas, disseminate information and educate the audience, because video has become the center of today's culture. As I explained in my speech, we have changed from residents of the book era to residents of the screen age. Since dynamic images have become the center of modern culture, I will do something on these dynamic screens in the future.

Q: Can you tell us what kind of aspects will your future video program focus on?

Kevin Kelly: The current important trend is artificial intelligence. I am interested in following up and understanding what artificial intelligence is, what it can help, and related ethical issues. There are a lot of things (to be studied) in this area. When artificial intelligence makes decisions, how do we judge the decisions they make that we hope for? I think this is actually a very difficult thing for us. So I am very interested in this area.
