Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I’ve been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years.
Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic.

Greg Williams has joined EV as Executive Editor — two years in the search. He was editor-in-chief of WIRED UK, recognized as Editor of the Year (Technology) three times, and is a five-time novelist. Introducing him to our community in this week’s episode became an opportunity to redefine what EV is: why we make maps instead of stories, and where I think AI is taking institutional media.
We covered:
(00:10) Why Greg joined EV
(04:16) The four horsemen of the media apocalypse
(05:42) Google Zero
(06:47) AI: collaborator or adversary?
(08:48) Tools, not information
(11:09) We make maps, not stories
(14:18) Building for AI to consume
(17:52) AI can’t summarize The New Yorker
