Centuries, humans have been trying to study our planet to bring order to chaos, to explain their own existence. We encounter a flood of information every day but isnt making us any more intelligent. Dealing with an increasingly digitalized world is overwhelming. Its getting harder and harder to distinguish between true and false. How do you find the truth . Im really passionate about Building Technology that makes peoples lives better to see the future. It is absolutely crazy. Were already living in the Science Fiction novel fil a computer. Im an Additional Data leader and, and more my chapter in the Science Fiction novel is about knowledge and who gets to control with the or over 3 centuries ago, the age of enlightenment began, bringing with the progress, reese and human rights. Today these achievements are great to me in the new enlightenment, the 21st century. The my resume might seem a bit unconventional. Ive never had a 9 to 5 job. Ive started 6 Different University programs, built a race car founded companies and worked in silicon valley. Ive also just created an ai model with my startup iris a i, its a kind of super brand that will capture all the World Scientific research, organize it logically and make it openly accessible. Along with 20 other technology across the 11 countries. Who may, i mean with this machine we, we will have the potential to really connect all that knowledge and build new knowledge in a way that human beings just wont be capable of what i think the church. For example, if i want to know about the enlightenment, i can search for terms like philosophy or do you do go with one click. Iris spits out hundreds of academic articles 300 years ago enlightenment philosopher to need you to route was over the trying to organize all knowledge of the world. Instead of the internet, use books. And he spoke to people like surgeons mechanics and watch make its own. And 1713, this really was the oldest son of a nice making his father wanted him to become a priest. Instead the need is a root became the opposite. An atheist who had no room for gold and his will seem. Springs think he went on to reshape how he saw around the world with his magnum opus the o. 6 o p. The 17 volumes, 71. Allison article 20000000 goods was the largest publishing project of the 18th century, instead of following church history, old rolling dynasties, itll fitting you stick to alphabetical order entries to the science trade. The page with those of crossman kings stood on equal footing with farm animals. Working people took the place of spoiled aristocrats. It was the reversal of power relations in book for almost every bit of progress that we have made in the last 250 years. We have made on the back of the enlightenment, the idea that we can use science and reason to improve human wellbeing has worked. Its an actual fact task as a quest for knowledge seems to me to be as an admirable and among the numerous things that the human species escapes who controls knowledge, who decides whats true and whats false when we get taught and what gets ignored, do close 18th century collection of knowledge challenge the existing power relation. Not that it was perfect. As a woman, i wouldnt have been allowed to contribute to the own stickler p d. The authors were all frenchman. They describe the world from their perspective. Of course, there were things that got overlooked you know, so science units in itself is not e must say somebody like you 0, you know, would be uncomfortable, the encyclopedia, hes got some projects of the encyclopedia then become seamless allies. Seeing that this is the knowledge that has to be split over the world, and it has to be either the alpha and omega. They need to come for them. I take the my journey begins and gone in the 1st set saharan african country to gain independence, freedom and justice and states on the black star gas bill to commemorate donnas 1st as a free state and 1957 has independence allowed the country to break free from foreign ways of thinking, what european encyclopedias deemed the only true knowledge, indeed rose on security donna was to called the gold coast. A country comprising a variety of kingdoms and with gold dust was once found. That was old books fit to rule the coast was all he could describe. Little is known about the interior. He wrote the 3 centuries later. Every last corner of the continent seems to have been surveyed and measured peoples mountains and rivers have been given names these days. Anyone who wants to have their say about what we consider to be knowledge can do so on the internet. But hundreds of millions of africans still dont have internet access. While global tech giants try to bring the continent online, its clear that whoever supplies the infrastructure also exports their own world view. So between china and the west, the race for digital dominance in africa has begun at the startup, incubator, mass, young, tech entrepreneurs from all over africa are hard at work. Theyre not just interested in turning Business Ideas into profit. The goal is to use Digital Technology to create jobs and improve standards of living and to find Homegrown Solutions to african problems. Second, angelo cannot a, came to gone up from nigeria to join the math team. This is a, was for, it was for everyone who close the 6 if you can fix. Youll see that the oldest people belong to different companies. They are working on their startups and where theyre from kugal, from the political been equity. Why . Whats one the, the, just other on the continental, im done. The oliver training at math is in high demand with 1500. 00 applicants buying for just 60 places each applicant brings with them an idea for a tech startup. Messed entrepreneurs seek to improve peoples lives a whether app to help Small Farmers prevent crop failures, or a micro Credit System that works without an expensive smartphone. Similar to my startup iris, its often about making knowledge accessible. Ada and favors app aims to improve Sex Education for women. And you both move to f her up to start this company where its similar for opportunity, equinox fencing before, but we havent gotten in on an avery and a team. So a major and, and shes some ideas about where the house might start of also has co founders from 4 Different Countries all over europe or across groups. Yeah. Some, some cultural challenges now, and that will be better. Yeah. You have a demo, you can see yes. Right, yes, there is a fire where we men can discuss on the topics. We have infectious diseases, maternity so you could be and you must share your question. And if its posted, being gynecologists kind response and other people that have gone through this issue can give me tips and also help women, you know, understand your body and disagree with ties. This clinicians or this areas thats of a society has please this take long on the whats the word mission for content and as large in legs the next 50 years. Whats your take on that . Oh, so in the next to the kids, for instance, the advertisement to have the highest population of you saying 50 is everyones going to come is ask because theyre going to be innovative, new ideas, obviously building field tech companies. And this is going to be pretty happy, an improved speed the pan african ism championed by mast is spreading further and further 54. 00, the 55. 00 african states are now working together as part of a newly created free trade zone. The largest in the world. Supporters see it as an attempt to reverse the power and balance and prevent the cotton and from being exploited off a century before the french revolution. 0 was studying at the famous so phone university in paris. When his father cutting off financially he 8. 00 for living is to choose to any extra money writing simmons pamphlets even pornography. Meanwhile, he began to make a name for himself into basing circles function, licensing cars, would catherines cell on. So cafe is like the pro come to argue this theories and discuss the latest global developments. Both have the rules. So then the central is that all the rhetorically gifted denise salons of the eighteens and early 19th century were far more important for the spreading and developing intellectual ideas than the universities were. Digital role is said to have worked on the all see to a p d and one of these tables. The cafe legend goes that he sent me the stove, so he could burn on 40 pages before they fell into the hands of the census. Who wrote his 1st major book and see put the policy philosophic, published anonymously, and 1746 scripted catholic, france. His id is scandalous. Scribes christian dogma as absurd and atrocious. One morning to the room was arrested right here and number 3, route and extra religious revival has something to do with the desire to hold on to what seemed to be eternal values. It becomes like a comforting thing to hold on to something that is im changing. Ive never understood why the fact that you get comfort from something mesa believe its true. And stephen, think of it. If you feel being pursued by it a lot or you may get conflict from your implicit faith that its a rabbit, but actually its nothing rapid, its a lot. Its going to be to face up to reality. The in west africa, highly conservative. Christianity has been spreading and recently decades. Unlike an 18th century paris, its not catholicism that dominates here, but a host of independent protestant churches. There preachers take a strong view of those who think differently. Like the senior as these for example, the self proclaimed router, which is often seen as a kind of devil incarnate, for her part as isa is fighting against religion itself. But above all, against patriarchy, when theyre coming of the skin to the african continent. The basically said, we know your d, t, c, o gods a false god, you know, and this one god, which is a christian god. You know, i mean that applies to you. Something as well as other mentioned that, you know, thinks upon itself, you know, the right to vote in pools. You know, because one of the people forgot sync. Why the but the so called false god havent died out. They live on in the form of thousands of years of spiritual knowledge waiting to be revived. They called the one we base 21. 00 to 5. 00 green bill. I wonder what data who would have thought about his visa . He believed in the revolutionary power of science for as these, the past deliberation lies in the traditions of buddha. Ready the belief and invisible forces and in the higher self. Ready ready the. Ready you called yourself a modern day, which was a more like a modern day priestess. But in a nice way, what does that mean . That um, misunderstood nowhere in which, uh they take, which should be more like someone that a, you know, if you flush and fly at night and kill you and you know the scary. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, which is a healer, someone, a priest that someone who can boys advantage enough to work with spirits that can show them, you know, what is to come in the future. Did you find the difference between how people in. 8 and people in the us react to respond to your music. Oh yeah, absolutely. And what ways im gonna black child, im the black sheep in the industry. Yeah, thats yeah, yeah, yeah. Then as a christian nation. Right. So imagine this girl comes out calling, resolved the routing music queen. Theyre like to bring the little girl here with all of the stuff we dont want. And im laughing, but its ridiculous because its our tradition. What we have here so powerful. If they knew they wouldnt be meeting the chest like guerrillas would do, is in bedded and ill culture, you know, you cant run away from me. You cant. Its true that the light went off and attacked the established church and its hierarchies. And thats what the doc says, but it preserved a very deep sense of reverence, whatever you think created the world. It wasnt even the season wants to show me the worlds biggest boo festival was. So we take a road trip from gonna through tell, go to bin for her buddha isnt a religion, its a way of life. Its based on knowledge thats been passed down from generation to generation. Its not written in any encyclopedia which also means its in danger of dying as completely so were here at the beach and we dont where hundreds of thousands of people just vanish and didnt just vanish. Someone bought and sold those stolen. What kind of knowledge do you think was lost during the colonization . A lot of 1st morales, the morals are an important thing. Its, its, its part of the culture, its imbedded in you. So the morals is the 1st thing in the tradition. The knowledge that the people that were taken away last and when you see people as they, you know, daily routines and practices away from them, you basically killed them. I believe our futures in our past in the sense that in order to actually evolve and live in seattle a future, you have to know what happened in the past. In the dashboard, a lot of these people were taken away from spiritual homes. And whether they liked it or not, it could be 50000 years. The beloved line remains the same. And so if you are suppose to be a priestess, when that time comes for the calling, you cant run from it. There is no such thing as shame. And ive called sir, wed scrutinize ation that came a lot of self. Hey, a lot of it. So its something thats new and its for like a virus. And thats where the problem always starts. The 1749 does arose with cold, lesser on the blind for the use of those who can see you wanted to show how much house fences influenced, including morales, the eoc food that for person who caught c fixed is the biggest crime of home who is a comp matter system, if another person presses decently or stands make didnt want to play a role concluded that morality was not universal, was dependent on else sensory perceptions. Didnt road knowledge comes from bodily experience. It doesnt stem from reason, but from the senses from feeling and touching things you ways even further on doing the pleasure, whats the most important principle of life. And he himself was no stranger to pleasure. Whether in his erotic novels, the says he had own cellphones and cafe in series worth and helped along by good food and wine. Ive been eating like a young who drove once road and getting round as a bull. Its Early Morning on the london underground. If the commuters here are having any kind of sensory experience, then its probably thanks to their smartphone. Indeed, our goal is time. Knowledge was controlled by king and clergy. In our world, data brain supreme. Pretty much anything about our world could be found to be a Search Engines, like google and personalized algorithms determine which parts of the world we all get to see when the internet became so popular. Now have even more radical form of democracy. Our own can participate through the internet on the inside of broadening our prospective internet and internet, it actually makes people even were closed some dock and a gun to or at the bottom you have data, an entire ocean of data in thing here, a bit smaller. You have information on comp, then comes knowledge from down and then at the very top got a very small amount of wisdom. And its always about climbing that peer anatomy, the own, from data, information to knowledge, to wisdom, vines. Sometimes the path to wisdom begins with a simple search query. When i type in the jungle, the Search Engine gives me nearly 16000000 results and under a 2nd and the 1st hit, the open encyclopedia wikipedia among the worlds top 15 websites. Its the only one thats not for profit. And if i want to add to the accumulated knowledge about the, the home, i can just like thousands of others before me. I can also join the discussion about where the truth lies. Wikipedia co founder jimmy wells helped create the largest democratic encyclopaedia in history, a data hole for the internet era. But unlike the honest to globally deep wikipedia has to contend with fake news conspiracy theories and lobbying a world where everyone can broadcast their own version of whats true. If you count the legal votes easily. When you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal fi election from us in the face of polarization and political influence. Can we could pdf survive as a public repository of objective truth . It is a little sense that skepticism has to be the 1st step of finding the truth that that has to be the touch stone for, for everything and you to agree with us. Uh, yeah, i do. You know, if youre in school today, and you definitely need to be fully trained on how to spot this information. Uh, how to check the different and seemingly what looks like a new site is a real new site or not. And if you dont have the ability to distinguish between the 2 and you are quite vulnerable and we do see quite a lot of people, this isnt just young people in the current world, were and who, who has the power over knowledge. Oh, i mean, i dont think you need to is a good thing. Obviously theres bumps along the way. But in general, thats one of the key features of the current ages. There is no priestly guild who controls the kind of knowledge. Do you think this will continue . I mean, there, there are threats to this, this openness and freedom is off with are definitely threats. And we do have this risk as we see country after country around the world, claiming a global jurisdiction over their rules are on the internet, which leads to more blockages, a more fragmented internet. And its really against that ideal, that enlightenment, ideal me, that were all people on this planet trying to learn, find, to know, trying to understand the world weve been blocked in china for quite some time. And were sometimes blocked in other countries. And usually its about some specific information thats true that they dont like, remember why teachers always telling me do not usually give you the source that changed the transfer bit. Yeah. You know, i think its, its really about challenging that presumption, right, that ordinary people can participate in the knowledge process. And its the idea that you today right now have the right to come and engage with information to engage in that public dialogue about what is true. Thats a pretty radical idea. Even for this era, that knowledge is open, that everyone can join in the, the debate, the dialogue, the chewing, the, the search for truth. And that it isnt just the province of a handful of selected meetings. And that idea is very much and enlightenment ideas and takes effort that takes thought it takes me thats fine. Yep. Student jimmy wells is optimistic. He believes in the power of the community in a crowd based enlightenment. But just like the writers that they also pay, the most wikipedia authors are white and mail and open dialogue can sometimes turn into a war between editors with authors, shutting each other out. So what happens if the ideal of democratic communal knowledge fails because of the rationality of people shows and knowledge that they do all the mortality, they dont come on hand in hand over time. The majority of it is the wrong opinion bank, chris, the noise of the i informed public. So i think thats my latest attack on the quality and democracy. How much responsibility can the individual be trusted with . Its a fundamental philosophical question which determines the political system we gravitate towards. Do we want universal participation, or should we be ruled by a single party or a moral and intellectual elite . In pre revolutionary friends, did a ro worked over through the ruling of lights. He spent 3 months in the state prison involved farm when he was released to pledge never to produce plus from his writings. Again, oil spice of life in prison. At 1751. 00, the 1st part of the o. C co pay date was published, containing due to rose rays, the shop satisfied against the authorities. The entry on cannibalism contained to cross reference to the eucharist. Catholics consumed the body and blood of christ during communion. Doesnt that make them cannibals . The increase, the king rule in french, begins with information about the king vulture, which he describes as a bird about as fast as a turkey, and only off the woods. Is there any information about the actual king . Its very strange because it arises. You know, we have no armies, we have no weapons, we have no way of really attacking power. The accepted language, the close to either the display of dictatorships is freedom, then its just a solid. C is for the free and free thinking people that they wont allow themselves to be dictated to form one less than what power does likes is people who would accept the narrative. The power is trying to impose the what power does like, is expanding control and surveillance over its citizens and collecting their information. The forensic architecture is a network of architects and journalists who investigate governments, dictators and intelligence agencies that cover up to human rights abuses and manipulate evidence based in london, they compile data, images and videos to reconstruct poison gas attacks or presence where people or torture. How does forensic architecture compile evidence that will hold up in court . Is really architect ale. Weitzman is the head of the collective. Some an a milwaukee specializes in environmental crimes. Ive been investigating the legacy of the demo and he made himself quite and popular with the church. And my guess is that, you know, towards the state and the police, you, you, you might not be the most popular people are or is, it is like, whats your take on . I kind of going against the powers there are at this point. So 2 thirds and truth is also in the battle field press. Now, when you break the state monopoly over knowledge and say what jobs . Because we can know when you line this makes us very unpopular. Obviously with the people that want to apply 5 and a sides of the american this, that the pentagon with which we have class them separate locations for fighting against the corporations. And so for example, we had a case that were looking at, or the extraction on Oil Pollution in argentina is not always just the states. We have a lot of states, its a, its a big frontier. Number of empowers for all those people. We always hear the same kind of critique we are. We are not state also rise to speak the truth, but its exactly that kind of authority section. We dont see so much of the work that you do is, is enabled by the internet by global access, by uploading pictures from smartphones, etc, etc. And how to get data into knowledge. The very principles of knowledge of it principle of science is a kind of culture of suspicion. And that culture of suspicion need to be substantiated with the methodology that is built in order to verify claim does the testimony that we heard from several people that experience violence. Agree with that video which agrees with the weather report, which agrees with a satellite to imagine a tenant i to a, to it in a more diverse animal a different perspective. So the more we have confidence that the statements that were making against states and corporations a precise do you see yourselves like walking in dinner, rose footsteps like you see yourself as enlightened this. We are leaving in kind of radical cost and light to ment. Reality in which we find that the problem is suffering like ment of governing, transparently and justly is precisely the target to fire investigations. You see whats nice behind it is that the state wants to keep its monopoly of, of violence and of a truth and windows to monopolies, unite over violence. And over true, you have an uncheck political situation. Whenever monopolies on violence and truth coincide, democracy becomes impossible. In the 18th century, this called absolutism almost 60 years old, did a row sit out on one last big journey, the colt and some of the cuts for the 2nd and some pieces book to rule was considered to be one of the enlightened absolutism. This row wanted to convince the will polish despotism, which would essentially mean a polishing has. So she told me once you to the row that hes great principles were beautiful in books, but they made the bad practical policy. While you wrong, i shall. Im feeling paper. She said, i am right on human skin which is sensitive to the slightest touch. It arose. Idealism was not much for catherines hob knows real politics. He like to return to paris dissolution. The Oxford University is one of the oldest in the world. Its students have included philosophers, john locke, and adam smith, physics genius, Stephen Hawking, internet inventor, tim berners lee, us president , bill clinton, people who went on to change the world the today, the universitys future of Humanity Institute is tackling big picture questions about humanity. According to swedish philosopher, an Institute Director nick foster and we are on the costs of perhaps the greatest paradigm shift in human history. For the 1st time, we could be replaced by an even more intelligent entity in the form of an artificial super intelligence. Together with Stephen Hawking deal on mosque and others, hes signed off on a warning to humanity. 23 principles for a research to benefit human kind, not harmony. So do you want them a coffee or tea . Sound good, thank you. Thank you. All right. You think super intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, do you think that is a threat to humanity . And the problem is as well i, its, uh, i think, a very unique moment in, in the history of live uh, when this happens, the creation of a general Artificial Intelligence machines that, that attained the same general purpose reasoning ability of that contest. I talked to months apart from the rest of the Animal Kingdom, guessing that the transition, right . So will be maybe the most important task in, in this century, youve been quoted saying if a super intelligence decides that its, its better to wipe all humans off the planet for some reason or other if it will succeed. You. But some people say that, that scare mongering, thats just, you know, blowing out of course. And if you think about what, what gives us humans this unique position on the planet. But its not that we have stronger muscles to now the animals are sharper teeth. Its our brand, so just slightly different the wire and so similarly for introducing to the world, something radically commenting its apparent to humans done hit my problem being that the future would be shaped by the values and preferences, Office Superintendent stuff. And so i had that they didnt need to make sure we align them with us so that theyre kind of an extension of, of human values and document intentions rather than disabled. And im gonna stick force as part of the enlightenment. Schumann. Reason is kind of the core of that and an arrow where were Artificial Intelligence has more reason, more reasoning capability than humans. Is there a need to kind of read a fine or look at what it means to be human . So right now, many people define their identity in terms of being useful to somebody or something. Youre already that of the bread winner, or youre the mother of your race or children or you or something. Um body know what was the robots kind of everything better. Yeah. It might just must be interesting, you can do that would be useful. A lot of our values and identities, you know, we need to base them on Something Different than this kind of instrumentality. Principle that shapes the current world. But the unenlightened ment of the 21st century has to help us give new meaning to our existence, to redefine what it means to be human. Adding a 4th chapter to freud, 3 famous insults to humanity. First, copernicus showed us that we werent the center of the universe. Second, darwin degraded us by placing us in the Animal Kingdom showing that we the so called crown of creation or basically 8. Thirdly, freud himself taught us that we are externally determined by our psychological dries, and soon we wont even be the most intelligent beings on the planet. What will humans be then . What will give us meaning and support in a world where were redundant, the fact that the city of we need where im at the world, the largest, to do festival with senior as these up as part of the one of the few 2 kings has invited us personally, to be honest, i feel out of place here as a Northern European tech nerd. Something in the rebels against the idea of who to being an enlightened ritual. Wouldnt beautiful have called all of this superstition. Or do we hear pnc rituals like these from a heavily biased euro Central Point of view . Self funded mentally opposed our science and spirituality from each other actually spiritual basis of life. Were not just flesh walking around. Theres very within and you know, the one thing that a lot of people dont understand is no, see all flesh, right . They dont see how far caesar, era, and your energy. When we stop seeing color is treating you know, each other differently. Will it be fun . But so then we have our here, were here at the temple of price on phenomena straight on the other side of the plaza is a church. How do you feel about kind of the 2 religions meeting in, in this way, every constant, it has a piece of the street to spiritual enlightenment. Every try. Its a puzzle and its been distributed to all the different tribes, then we can figure it out until we bring that entire pause together. So until then were all going to be like, my puzzle is the whole thing. And another person, i know mine is at the end of it all, we all have to come together. All of us, even the christians, saving them after the parade. We had to the court of the king of we to his majesty data, bulk b. As a student, he left the socialist spinning and moved to the former east germany. These days he lives most severe and berlin and rules his kingdom. From there for him, there is no doubt that a life without a higher meaning doesnt do justice to being human. So do you think who can, can provide or be a form of inviting me to have that off level . Of course, the theme of enlightenment is contained within an weve, every breath we take to the world needs in light on it, also press the heart alone is not enough. For the mind alone is even worse. And as though we need both of them together, i dont know where youve come from or how can you know where youre going . Is that a business looking at gate july, 17 days before . Do you need to do a ro died without a gold . And without ceremony, once youre gone, it makes no difference whether you were somebody or nobody who wrote. In the end, you gave me more than a hole in the ground and full spruce board, but did row didnt die without hope. He left behind risings that he couldnt publish in his lifetime. He thought they would one day change the world, so that our grandchildren would also need be more educated, but also happier and more virtuous, so that we dont die without finding our place among humanity. The deed, as well as legacy lives on, in the joy of scientific knowledge and a steadfast, skepticism of authority to question those claiming to have a monopoly on truth based on dogma or alternative facts. Be they from religion, large corporations, or demagogues. The enlightenment says, progress is in our hands. That means so is rigorous. Its up to us as you go through life and world around do shifts and changes and youre trying to make sense of it. For me. Writing is not active. Understanding newmont, nobody has the absolute truth, not even this i understand. So we must maintain a position of the acceptance and respectful those who think different, i believe different, the love different. We still have things we dont understand. And so, before delving came along, it required a major leap of carriage to say that we dont actually need a great big design in the sky to explain it. The remaining problems that we face, like the origin of the universe, the origin of life actually 2, will be solved and enlightenment for the 21st century has to confront the complexity of the world. Without being satisfied by simple answers. Encyclopedias can no longer be universal repositories of knowledge. Knowledge has to keep evolving. Just as we humans have to keep questioning ourselves. At the dawn of the age of super intelligence, were realizing that were more than just rational beings who define themselves solely in terms of utility. The for me, this is all part of the education of the future. We need to know where weve come from in order to better understand where this journey will take us the i see the points strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. How much terror attack on israel is the largest mass murder up to since the holocaust assessed israels president . It has cast a long shot, a world wide. How will it change the middle east .
