Harry Law, a researcher at the University of Cambridge and former ethics lead at Google DeepMind, dives deep into the interplay of AI and human autonomy. He discusses how AI can either enhance or hinder our self-rule. Law distinguishes between AI that clears cognitive space for growth versus that which fills it superficially. He emphasizes the importance of user-selectable guardrails to maintain a pluralistic information environment and advocates for preserving our capacity for autonomous decision-making as machines become smarter.
