Description
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak received applause rather than boos from graduates at a commencement speech for telling them that they have “AI, Actual Intelligence.” During the Grand Valley State University Commencement Ceremony, Wozniak emphasized to graduates the value of human intelligence.
Summary
Steve Wozniak’s commencement address at Grand Valley State University contrasts biological human intelligence with the current limitations of artificial intelligence systems. While providing a high-level critique of the 'AI' label as applied to contemporary large language models, the discussion focuses on humanistic encouragement rather than technical risk analysis. It touches briefly on the philosophical distinction between machine computation and human cognition but does not delve into frontier capability advancements or catastrophic risk governance. The content is primarily a cultural reflection on technology's role in society rather than a substantive contribution to safety policy.
