Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was asked Monday about the upcoming 50th anniversary of the tech company on April 1. Appearing on CNN, Woz was in a reflective mood, talking about how proud he was of Apple and what it\u2019s become. But when he was asked about the future, and especially AI, he seemed to give some answers CNN wasn\u2019t expecting.<\/p>\n
Woz said that it seems like everyone is trying to \u201cmake a brain\u201d with AI but that everyone knows how to make a brain in a process that \u201ctakes nine months.\u201d The tech legend was clearly making a joke about how humans gestating for nine months is the only way to properly create one.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t use AI much at all, but I\u2019ve asked it a few questions to test it,\u201d said Wozniak. \u201cNow I\u2019ll ask a question where one word is the key item, the direction I want to go, and AI will come back with a whole bunch of clear explanations that are on the subject, but not what I really was interested in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woz went on to say that it might be \u201chard to explain,\u201d what he was getting at, but \u201cI often read things and they just sound too dry and too perfect, and I want something from a human being, and I\u2019m disappointed a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CNN host didn\u2019t seem deterred by Woz\u2019s negative perspective and seemed to barrel right ahead with questions that had been pre-planned, perhaps assuming he may have been more receptive to the idea that AI would be revolutionizing technology in a positive way.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think that it can get better and ultimately replace humans in some regards?\u201d the CNN host asked.<\/p>\n
Woz replied that all things get better, but added, \u201cI\u2019ve seen no sign yet that we understand well enough how the brain works to get to that point that it replaces the human; has emotions; cares about things; wants to help others; wants to be a good person.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t I don\u2019t see any signs of that yet,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou can\u2019t say something can\u2019t happen though and with technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woz went on to say that \u201csome day maybe it could be really smart\u201d and it may even be able to \u201cunderstand you the way another human would.\u201d But he explained that it \u201chasn\u2019t lived a human life\u201d which he feels is necessary to \u201cunderstand what humans are going through to sometimes catch those little nuances in the way you speak.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was asked Monday about the upcoming 50th anniversary of the tech company on April…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,670,343,344,85,46,134987,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-355563","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apple","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-steve-wozniak","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
