Beth PariseauAnd now for something completely different.
This is a much less in-the-weeds discussion than I normally get into on my vodcast, and it gets a little heavy at times. You should probably make sure you've had your morning coffee before watching this one.
Tom Chi has played many roles inside and outside the tech industry, including serving as head of #GoogleX, where he helped develop Google Glass and self-driving cars. Now a founding partner at the environmentally focused venture capital firm At One Ventures, Chi has published a book, Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future. The book offers dark warnings about the possible future of humans on Earth amid threefold crises in the environment, the #AIeconomy, and geopolitics and also proposes a framework for change.
In this wide-ranging and provocative interview, Chi puts forth his opinions on why a world in which billionaires are building doomsday bunkers is one in which no one is really winning, and how that would could be re-imagined.
In today's episode, we'll cover…
- White collar jobs and AI
- Demand as a check on corporate power
- Connections between climate change, AI's impact and political unrest
- Chi's proposed skills to address these challenges: critical thinking, creativity, compassion, and community.
