In the future, there will be an ever-present relationship with AI that helps make sense of the world. The control of AI and its deep connection with millions of people will give tremendous power to those who control it. Currently, big tech companies use AI to sell products and ads, acting at or on people. However, in the future, people will value an AI that is on their side, functioning as a good chief of staff or advisor. This AI will help schedule, organize, plan, and prioritize their day, making it accessible to everyone in the next five years.
After Kara and Nayeema debate the pros and cons of AI personal assistants vs. human personal assistants vs. fake personal assistants, we turn to Mustafa Suleyman, the man who co-founded DeepMind. Now, he and his co-founders Reid Hoffman and Karén Simonyan have started Inflection AI, a startup that creates “personal AIs,” and they're launching with a chatbot called Pi.
Kara talks to Mustafa about whether or not Pi is "woke," the conversion of Suleyman’s former colleague, Geoffrey Hinton, and — oh yes — AI’s potential to destroy humanity.
BTW, in lieu of personal AI, you can reach out to Kara and Nayeema for advice on your burning questions regarding your career, love, life or anything else. Call 1-888-KARA-PLZ and leave us a voicemail.
