THE ROBOTS ARE COMING!

Did you enjoy my talk on why I am scared about new AI and technology?  Check out some of the videos below to learn more about the singularity.

First, here are some technology sentences for you to practice.

Good luck!


  1. My dad confiscated my smart phone last night.
  2. I need to update my laptop.
  3. I’ll be away for the weekend, so only contact me in an emergency.
  4. What’s the Wi-Fi password here?
  5. Did you see her tweet last week?
  6. Please email me later, OK?

This is a talk on what singularity means. It very fast, so please put the speed of the video at a slower speed.

Next, try a TED talk on robots. This has Japanese subtitles. Use them if you want to check your understanding.
