Episode notes
AI for Tea Bowl Making
- Kevin Scott used Copilot for personal projects like designing a kiln and glaze for Japanese tea bowls.
- Copilot helped him research classic Japanese Raku tea bowl making and devise glaze recipes without lead.
AI's Impact on Software Development
- AI will reshape software development by changing how we write code and who is considered a developer.
- The concept of apps may become obsolete as AI allows direct task description instead of navigating complex UIs.
AI Regulation
- Regulate AI consistently, ideally at a federal level, to ensure safe and beneficial deployment.
- Regulators must be agile and consider that delayed deployment can also be a risk, especially in healthcare.
