Greg Jensen was one of the earliest backers of both OpenAI and Anthropic, and at Bridgewater, where he is the managing chief investment officer, he leads the hedge fund's AI strategy. As an early adopter of the technology, he has a lot of thoughts on where things stand right now in terms of model capability and safety, as well as the broader economic impacts of AI. Just recently, he published an op-ed in the New York Times that proposed a “token tax,” to help mitigate the job losses that AI might cause. (Bridgewater predicts as much as 18% of US jobs might be displaced in five years.) We last spoke with Jensen in 2023, and so much of what we discussed then seems quaint — like hallucinations — now that models have come so far, capable of lying, cheating, and much worse. In today's conversation, Jensen tells us how Bridgewater is currently using AI, why there needs to be a stronger AI regulatory state, and why it feels like the AI discourse is starting to resemble the months before Covid-19 took over the world in 2020.
