'AI will either compete with us or augment us' - so how do we pick the right path?

"AI will have some form of intelligence that will either compete with us or augment us. This is a question for us as a species. For the past thousands of years, we didn’t have a cousin or a brother and now we may have one. So it is how we understand that and how we deal with it." On Episode 4 of our special series on generative AI, we consider the options for how we can govern the rapidly growing technology. Guests: Amir Banifatemi, Director, AI Commons; Cyrus Hodes Co-Founder of AIGC Chain and Stability AI, Harvard Kennedy School of Government Co-host: Lucia Velasco, Lead, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, World Economic Forum Transcript available at: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/generative-ai-episode-4-governance Previous episodes in this series: Episode 1 AI: Why everyone's talking about the promise and risks of this 'powerful wild beast' Episode 2 A common good?
