- 0:00Introduction
- 1:05In your book Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit, co-authored with Henry Kissinger, what are the key ideas about the evolution of AI?
- 2:35What do you think are the biggest risks of AI—sentience, misinformation, inequality, or loneliness?
- 4:49Do you think AI girlfriends could make loneliness worse and lead to bigger social problems like extremism and misogyny?
- 7:18How can we get the benefits of AI while stopping the negative effects?
- 9:50In the past, big tech avoided regulation through lobbying. Why do you think AI will be treated differently?
- 13:17Should companies be held criminally liable for harmful AI interactions?
- 17:29Should kids under 14 have smartphones or use social media? Should tech companies take more responsibility?
- 19:20How do we balance regulating AI to protect people while staying ahead of countries like China?
- 23:22Should there be international treaties to prevent AI weaponization, and could AI be used to help monitor and stop threats?
- 26:20Is the U.S. holding back on AI treaties because we think we’re the best?
- 31:04Could the U.S. and China work together on AI security to solve a big part of the global threat?
