Existe um espaço seguro para o ser humano depois da IA? | Rohan D'Souza | TEDxKyoto University

Nesta palestra do TEDxKyoto University, Rohan D'Souza, professor da Escola de Pós-Graduação em Estudos de Área Asiáticos e Africanos da Universidade de Quioto, questiona se as pessoas manterão um espaço próprio de pensamento quando a inteligência artificial assumir a busca por informações, o raciocínio e as decisões. Ele descreve a transição para uma sociedade pós-letrada, em que a atenção virou mercadoria e a rolagem substitui a leitura profunda. A fala examina autoconsciência, emoção, experiência vivida e a criação de sentido como traços que distinguem o pensamento humano. Por fim, reflete sobre o papel das universidades como espaços de livre pensamento e debate.

• Transição para uma sociedade pós-letrada, com a rolagem substituindo a leitura profunda
• Autoconsciência, emoção e experiência vivida como traços humanos
• Preservar a autonomia humana diante da IA

We are entering a post-literate society where attention has become a commodity, scrolling is replacing deep reading, and even education risks becoming a form of infotainment. At the same time, artificial intelligence is making it increasingly easy to outsource not only information gathering, but also reasoning and decision-making. What, then, distinguishes human thought from machine intelligence? This talk explores self-awareness, emotion, lived experience, and our ability to create meaning and make independent choices. It also reconsiders the role of universities as places where people can think freely, debate, and pursue knowledge beyond efficiency or productivity. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in our lives, this talk asks how we can preserve human agency and our capacity to think for ourselves. Ultimately, it invites us to reconsider a fundamental question: what does it mean to remain human in the age of AI? Japanese Translation: 私たちは今、注意そのものが商品となり、深く読むことが「スクロールすること」に置き換わる、いわば「ポスト・リテラシー社会」に入りつつある。さらに、人工知能の発達によって、情報収集だけでなく、思考や判断までも外部に委ねることが容易になっている。 では、人間の思考と人工知能を分けるものは何なのだろうか。本講演では、自己認識、感情、経験、意味を生み出す力、そして自ら選択する力について考える。また、効率や生産性だけを追求するのではなく、自由に考え、議論し、知を追求する場としての大学の役割についても捉え直す。 AIが私たちの生活に深く入り込む今、人間が自ら考え、行動する力をどのように守ることができるのか。そして、AI時代に「人間である」とは何を意味するのかを問いかける。 A professor at Kyoto University's Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies since 2015.
