AI is the most powerful technology we've ever deployed, and we're deploying it faster than any other one in history. Google had been holding back many advanced AI capabilities in a lab, not deploying them because they thought they were not safe. The race to become that slot in your life, the race to deploy the race to therefore move recklessly, those are all predictable factors. It took Facebook four and a half years to get to 100 million users; TikTok nine months,. And they have the app now.
After Kara and Nayeema review the week’s A.I. news, including Sam Altman’s Senate testimony and the viral AI-generated image of the Pentagon in flames, we turn to Tristan Harris — co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and a key voice among the calls for slowing down the A.I. arms race.
BTW, do you have any burning questions on career, love or life you’d like Kara or Nayeema’s advice on? If so, call 1-888-KARA-PLZ and leave us a voice mail.
