Today, I’m sharing my conversation with Karen Hao, award-winning reporter covering artificial intelligence and author of NYT bestseller, Empire of AI. We discuss:
* The scale-at-all cost approach to AI Big Tech is pursuing — the misguided assumptions and beliefs it rests upon, and the harms it causes.
* How the companies pursuing this approach represent a modern-day empire, and the role narrative power plays in sustaining it.
* Boomers, doomers, and the religion of AGI.
* Alternative visions of AI that center consent, community ownership, context, and don’t come at the expense of people’s livelihoods, public health, and the environment.
* How to reclaim our agency in an age of AI.
