Tanmay Bakshi, the extraordinary 14-year old AI scientist, gave his keynote speech on the final day of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) International Conference on Wednesday in Dubai, discussing a variety of subjects from quantum computing to blockchain and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the four-day IIA event was attended by over 3,000 business professionals from around the world.<\/p>\n

As well as discussing several of the apps and programs that he has personally designed, Bakshi addressed several popular auditing topics from quantum computing to neural networks and blockchain.<\/p>\n

The majority of his speech however was reserved for his thoughts on artificial intelligence (AI), and whether or not it is a threat to mankind.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is scared of AI becoming so intelligent that we can\u2019t understand what it\u2019s doing,\u201d he told the packed auditorium at Dubai World Trade Centre. \u201cBut that\u2019s a very far-fetched situation. We as humans aren\u2019t intelligent enough to worry that a non-human artificial intelligence could supersede us.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAI itself will not become a threat to humans. [But] it\u2019s impossible to make sure that AI will be used for ethical purposes because you can\u2019t control what people will do with the technology. But the entire point is that while people may use it for something fraudulent, AI will in turn be used to stop those people.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On being pushed again on the dangers of AI, Bakshi explained further. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to regulate the use of AI, it\u2019s just another algorithm that will be used by anyone who was access to a computer. But AI will be used to counter those misuses.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Addressing a room full of the world\u2019s top auditors, Bakshi also addressed some concerns that AI will one day make skilled professions obsolete.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMany people think that AI is meant to replace us in our everyday lives, but simply this isn\u2019t true. AI was created by us to allow us to do what we already do but in a better way.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAI works with firms to allow for much less labour intensive work. It\u2019s meant to empower us, allowing us to work in a much better way than we ever could have done before.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAI can tell us where we need to focus our attention, where human auditors are required, raising those red flags so we don\u2019t have to. It will be limited to specific cases and narrow domains, but it will do amazing things in those narrow domains. AI is going to help us to be better.\u201d<\/div>\n

More than 3,000 delegates from over 100 countries, including business executives, politicians and experts, took part in the annual international IIA conference, at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from\u00a0May 6 to 9.<\/p>\n

Bakshi is a software developer, author, keynote speaker, algorithm-ist, honorary IBM Cloud advisor, IBM Champion for Cloud and a YouTuber. He is also only 14 years old.<\/p>\n

The teenage coding star has been programming since the age of five and had his first iOS app, tTables, accepted at aged nine.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of his visit to Dubai for the IIA International Conference, Tanmay talked about his fields of expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the field of auditing, and in lots of other fields, humans do some jobs that they really don\u2019t need to be doing and they\u2019re very inefficient at those jobs,\u201d said Tanmay, who lives just outside of Toronto, in Brampton, Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of companies worldwide are working towards implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve exactly those problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tanmay, who has delivered keynote speeches at major technology events including IBM Interconnect in Las Vegas, IBM DeveloperConnect in Bangalore and the National Leadership Conference in Niagara, predicts AI will soon be at the centre of how businesses operate.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI technology brings extra efficiency, accuracy, and speed to the table. It allows us to use the same technology that we\u2019ve been using for decades in fields that they never could have been used in before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can now implement human-intelligence requiring tasks at scale, meaning that businesses can now make sense of and use the 80 per cent of unstructured data that currently sits around and does nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

An up-to-date IT strategy is critical to good corporate governance, said Tanmay, who likened recent advances in technology to the \u201c4th<\/sup>\u00a0industrial revolution\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
