Video of a speaker at the University of Central Florida’s commencement ceremony this weekend is going viral after she was visibly shocked by the reaction of the graduates to her comments about AI.

UCF, located in Orlando, Florida, has the second-largest public university enrollment in the U.S. and handles its massive graduations by holding a series of separate ceremonies in its on-campus basketball arena, with the graduates divided by colleges. More than 10,000 students graduated from UCF this past Friday and Saturday, according to WESH, Orlando’s NBC affiliate.



At the Friday evening commencement for UCF’s College of Arts and Humanities and Nicholson School of Communication and Media, Gloria Caulfield, President of the Lake Nona Institute and Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Tavistock, was one of the speakers.

While Caufield was discussing technological innovations, she remarked that it was “an understatement” to say we were now “living in a time of profound change.”


“Change is exciting,” she continued. “Very exciting. And let’s face it, change can be daunting. The rise of artificial intelligence is the next Industrial Revolution –”

The graduates began booing and Caufield nervously laughed and looked momentarily confused.



“Whew! What happened?” she asked, turning behind her as the booing increased in volume and one person could be heard yelling, “AI sucks!”

“Okay, I struck a chord. May I finish?”

“Uhh, only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives,” Caulfield said, this time being interrupted by loud cheers and applause from the audience.

Hilarious!

Yea, people don't want AI in our lives, bottom line, but it will be forced upon them just like death and taxes and the democrat party.

Seems to me it will be more inevitable than forced.

I love technology!



Always and forever!

I know of no one who is exited about AI, other than those in government and CEO's.

Yay! Let's take all the jobs and put everyone on welfare!

What could possibly go wrong?

Like when AI decides it is time to eliminate the human race?

Fear is the basis of anger. The graduates are afraid. They're facing a dark economy under Trump and those whose jobs are threatened by AI on top of their college debt are scared.

• •
  Past research suggests that anger relates to approach goals and fear to avoidance goals.
• •
  We experimentally manipulated the superordinate goals of approach and avoidance.
• •
  Anger was related to approach only if approach was dominant/aggressive.
• •
  Fear was related to avoidance only if avoidance was submissive/non-aggressive.

She told the unnecessary truth

I don't know anyone excited about AI either, but I seem to be one of the few who don't get any more freaked out or concerned about it than so many others do.

It's like the technology version of the climate change fear mongers.

As the climate changes, we adjust accordingly. Same as it is with AI. If you are working a job that is threatened by AI, change jobs! Hopefully, before the polar caps melt and drown us all!
