Steve Jobs' prediction about artificial intelligence was found on the Internet

A recording of Steve Jobs' speech was found online, in which he predicts the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). This was noticed by journalists from Digital Trends.

In September 2023, user X, under the nickname vijayshekhar, posted a recording of Steve Jobs' speech dated 1985. The author claims that almost 40 years ago, Jobs predicted the emergence of generative AI. The journalists noted that vijayshekhar's publication drew attention almost a year after its publication — it collected 57 thousand views.

In his speech, the Apple founder expressed envy of the commander Alexander the Great, as his mentor was the legendary philosopher Aristotle. Macedonian could ask Aristotle a question at any time and get an answer.

Jobs said that "in our lifetime" there will be an interactive assistant tool. "When the next Aristotle appears, we will be able to capture his fundamental worldview in a computer," he noted.

According to journalists, Steve Jobs, unfortunately, did not live to see the emergence of generative artificial intelligence, but they recognized him as an IT visionary who was able to predict the future of technology.

Earlier, former Apple chief designer Johnny Ive spoke about his first meeting with Steve Jobs, noting that he was shocked by Jobs' patience, curiosity and interest.
