AI can become superior to humans in certain aspects: TikTok’s Chew Shou Zi
People are likely to be underestimating AI’s capabilities, Chew says
TikTok's CEO, Chew Shou Zi, has stated that there is a "non-zero chance" that artificial intelligence could surpass humans in certain aspects as the technology continues to improve. Speaking at the DBS Asia Future Forward Conference, Chew highlighted that while AI may not yet displace humans, it is only at the beginning of its potential capabilities, which could make it "just superior to carbon" in terms of scalability and longevity.
He emphasized the need for humans to remain curious and gain hands-on experience with AI tools to develop the necessary skills. Chew also noted the current paradoxes surrounding knowledge and intelligence in the AI era, such as AI democratizing knowledge while increasing inequality among those unable to use it effectively. The DBS CEO, Tan Su Shan, echoed these concerns, warning of potential social instability if AI leads to job erosion and wealth disparity.
She emphasized the importance of humans exercising good judgment, wisdom, and creativity to ensure the AI journey remains on a utopian path rather than a dystopian one.
