Episode notes

The future entails the rise of the trillion sensor economy empowering AI to make informed decisions and execute tasks through robotics. Strategically, the focus should be on AI's impact on US national security, competitiveness with China, and the potential influence on US elections. A critical concern is the concept of recursive self-improvement, where AI continuously learns and evolves, potentially leading to unforeseeable consequences if such a system gains access to dangerous resources.

In this episode, recorded during Abundance360 2024, Peter and Eric discuss AI policy, government struggles, and AI’s global impact.
