Will AI Take Over Humanity's Future? | Hisham Qaddoumi | TEDxUnionville: Video Spotlight

People have been scared of every invention since the dawn of history, and they might not be very wrong! After all new inventions took jobs from humans since the invention of the wheels. Yet, there might be no paranoid scare about any other invention than AI.

For the first time, we invented something that might compete with us on the very things we felt most secured about: Our intelligence and our creativity.

So, will AI be the end of the era of humans?

 Hisham is technology specialist in both AI and Cyber security.

He started programming since he was 10 and has a great interest in film and Sci-Fi.

 He has been working on AI for more than 10 years.

He is passionate about public speaking and raising awareness about technology and privacy especially regarding the roles of AI and cyber security in everyone’s modern life.

He recently launched the free cyber security awareness site cytips.ca for all.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Journey to using Macbook Pro

            It was a busy day at the Centre for Social Innovation at the annex.

              There was lots do and we were short a few volunteers. Tasks had to be completed and we making it happen.

          Late in the afternoon I was given a task to take a few pictures and email them out to organization for evaluation. It seemed easy yet I have some trepidations to using Macbook pro to do it!
