This TED talk is a compilation of speakers talking about AI in business. A few key points:
- Look at AI to reinvent and rethink how your business works rather than just automation of a few tasks.
- Other new technologies have caused disruption in the workplace. The difference here is how fast this is happening and how fast the technology itself is evolving.
- To get people to use this to benefit the organization, help them overcome their fears. Make sure they have the right skills and that information is shared across the organization.

Eric Schmidt makes the case that AI is underhyped. AI systems have near-constant breakthroughs that lead to greater and greater capabilities.
- AI’s True Breakthrough is Reasoning - Modern AI systems using reinforcement learning, are beginning to be capable of planning, strategizing, “thinking ahead” and acting.
- Geopolitical Risk and Ethical Guardrails - Schmidt highlights that AI isn’t just a tech issue — it’s a geopolitical one. There’s a real risk of a race between powers (like the U.S. and China), potentially leading to conflict. He also stresses the importance of building “guardrails” (regulation, identity verification, verification of behavior).
- An Optimistic Vision Despite the Risks - Schmidt is bullish on AI’s positive potential. He envisions AI dramatically improving many areas including healthcare (curing diseases), revolutionizing education (personal AI tutors), and enabling new scientific discovery (material science, physics).
