IT Home News on October 12: According to a report by Taiwan's Economic Daily News, the TikTok CEO participated this morning in the first Asian Future Insight Forum held by DBS Group on the 12th in Singapore, and held a conversation with Chee-Khun Koh, DBS Group's Head of Consumer Banking and Wealth Management, under the theme "Unlocking Human Potential in an AI Era".
Shouzi Chew pointed out thatThe long-term development potential of artificial intelligence is still underestimated., in the next two to three years, AI is expected to drive major breakthroughs in fields such as physics and biotechnology. However, while AI is developing rapidly,Human judgment, creativity, and authenticity remain indispensable, enterprises and individuals should actively apply AI tools in practice, and seize the opportunities brought by this new wave of technological change through human-machine collaboration.
Shou Zi Chew stated,The market may overestimate AI's short-term capabilities while underestimating its long-term impact.. Especially in the field of scientific research, AI has the opportunity to accelerate breakthroughs in existing technical bottlenecks, but as models become increasingly powerful, how to ensure that AI complies with moral and ethical norms has also become an important issue that humanity must face.
Citing the paperclip thought experiment (IT Home note: this thought experiment assumes a superintelligent AI whose ultimate goal is set to maximizing paperclip production. To achieve this goal, the AI system might use its superhuman intelligence to convert all matter on Earth, even humans themselves, into raw materials for making paperclips), he pointed out that when an AI over-pursues a single objective without appropriate constraints, it may produce outcomes inconsistent with humanity's true intentions, which is why effective oversight mechanisms must be established.
Regarding the capabilities needed in the AI era, Chew Shou Zi advocates a "Human-in-the-loop" model, in which humans collaborate with AI, especially in high-risk work, where full reliance on automation should be avoided. He encourages people across all industries to actively use the most advanced AI models — whether engineers, lawyers, or other professionals, everyone should learn about AI's strengths and limitations through hands-on practice, rather than merely staying at the stage of reading information or discussing the technology.
Chew Shou Zi emphasized that AI is not just a new tool; it may also redefine the way humans work and live. In the face of rapid technological evolution, staying curious, using AI firsthand, and continually exercising human judgment and creativity will be key for individuals and businesses to remain competitive in the AI era.
