The former CEO of Google bursts with the first talk of AI
Kurt Knutsson discusses the growing public backlash against AI, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt being booed at the University of Arizona. He also discusses the invention of artificial eggs that can revive dead animals.
I’ll be honest with you guys, I don’t know what to do with my feelings about artificial intelligence, because my attitude on the matter changes by the day.
Some days, I find myself thinking, “this isn’t so bad. It’s nice to have some help from AI.”
Then there are other days where I curse its very existence and await the days when our robot overlords hopefully give us a merciful death.

It’s quite a divisive story, especially in this day and age of AI drift, but one group of college graduates made their feelings known about impersonal automation.
A ROBOT’S LIVING BODY WAS REMOVED FROM THE STAGE AFTER MICHAEL JACKSON’S BAD FALL.
According to a CyberNews report, Glendale Community College students rebelled against AI when it appeared during graduation that the robot tasked with announcing the names of new students made a mistake and skipped over hundreds of students who were about to hear their names when they crossed the stage.
The college’s president, Tiffany Hernandez, had to announce the mistake to the crowd, and the crowds that had gathered quickly turned sour.
As soon as the letters “A” and “I” left the woman’s lips, boobos began to descend on her like arrows on a medieval battlefield.

“Here’s what’s happening. We’re using a new AI system as our student,” Hernandez said, as the boos grew. So, that’s the lesson we learned.
“So I’m going to have to disappoint a lot of you. We won’t be able to walk on stage again. So that the name will be on the screen. You’ve passed your cards, so we can’t do that. I’m very sorry,” she said.
What a shame.
JOBS MOST RISK FROM AI, ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT

Not only is AI taking over many of the entry-level jobs these kids are often promised when they leave school, but it’s now disrupting their first event.
Hernandez and GCC certainly got those boos, because it’s not that hard to have a few dashes for each big volunteer to read a few hundred words at a time.
It’s not even the first time AI has sparked a chorus of boos at college graduation.
