Understanding AI and Systems

The video explores the integration of AI into everyday systems, like lifts, and its broader impact on the built world. It introduces the 3Ai Institute's mission to establish a new branch of engineering for AI, focusing on safe and responsible scaling. The video emphasizes learning from historical systems and cultural knowledge, framing key questions for AI development, and applying systems thinking. It highlights the importance of a diverse team and educational program, while acknowledging the traditional landowners and their legacy.
