A recently resurfaced video interview of a young Steve Jobs discussing future technology has gone viral. In the interview, Jobs envisioned a world where technology is interactive and human-like, a concept now known as generative AI. This conversation took place almost a decade after Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple in a Los Altos garage. In the clip, Jobs expressed excitement about the potential for users to interact with knowledgeable figures like Aristotle through technology. Although he didn’t coin the term “generative AI,” his ideas closely align with it. Fast forward to WWDC 2024, Apple introduced “Apple Intelligence,” their own generative AI, fulfilling Jobs’ early vision. Jobs’ legacy continues to influence Apple’s ongoing innovations, proving his forward-thinking mindset. Beyond technology, Jobs is remembered as a philosopher and mentor, whose impact is still felt today. His foresight into generative AI underscores his role as a visionary, making him an enduring figure in both tech and philosophical circles.
