Episode notes

The progress in this new era of human history is going to be about our ability collectively to say no rather than to say yes to things.
The most productive and fruitful decade in the history of our species is expected due to artificial capable intelligence (ACIs), which will provide access to various services.
Persuading people to hold back will be the major challenge as ACIs have the potential to be valuable in every possible domain.
Everyone needs to get involved in defining the standards of acceptable use of ACIs, which will shape the future of our species.
Getting involved includes participating in protest, resistance, creating alliances, and engaging in the political process.
Understanding and utilizing ACIs is important for evaluating their capabilities and establishing boundaries.
Despite their size, bigger models are more controllable.
Determining the values and behaviors of ACIs is a governance question.

This is going to be the most productive decade in the history of our species, says Mustafa Suleyman, author of “The Coming Wave,” CEO of Inflection AI, and founder of Google’s DeepMind. But in order to truly reap the benefits of AI, we need to learn how to contain it. Paradoxically, part of that will mean collectively saying no to certain forms of progress. As an industry leader reckoning with a future that’s about to be ‘turbocharged’ Mustafa says we can all play a role in shaping the technology in hands-on ways and by advocating for appropriate governance.
