Episode notes

Mark N. Driesen is co-founder and general partner of Silicon Valley Venture Capital firm Riese and Horowitz, sometimes known as A16Z. He argues that AI artificial intelligence will make everything better if we let it. This is Mark's third appearance on Econ Talk; he was last year in May of 2022 discussing software immortality and Bitcoin.

Marc Andreessen thinks AI will make everything better--if only we get out of the way. He argues that in every aspect of human activity, our ability to understand, synthesize, and generate knowledge results in better outcomes. Listen as the entrepreneur and venture capitalist speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about AI's potential to improve the world and why those who fear that AI will destroy humanity are wildly over-reacting.
