Eric Schmidt, a technologist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Google’s former CEO, joins Scott to discuss the dangers and opportunities AI presents and his latest book, Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit. Follow Eric, @ericschmidt. 00:00 Introduction 01:05 In 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? 02:35 What do you think are the biggest risks of AI—sentience, misinformation, inequality, or loneliness? 04:49 Do you think AI girlfriends could make loneliness worse and lead to bigger social problems like extremism and misogyny? 07:18 How can we get the benefits of AI while stopping the negative effects? 09:50 In the past, big tech avoided regulation through lobbying. Why do you think AI will be treated differently? 13:17 Should companies be held criminally liable for harmful AI interactions? 17:29 Should kids under 14 have smartphones or use social media? Should tech companies take more responsibility? 19:20 How do we balance regulating AI to protect people while staying ahead of countries like China? 23:22 Should there be international treaties to prevent AI weaponization, and could AI be used to help monitor and stop threats? 26:20 Is the U.S. holding back on AI treaties because we think we’re the best? 31:04 Could the U.S. and China work together on AI security to solve a big part of the global threat? #scottgalloway #podcast #evolutionofai #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligencetechnology #misinformation #extremism #artificialintelligencesingularity #socialmedia #profg #scottgalloway #profgmarkets
