omg. for Technically Optimistic I got to speak with one of my heroes today: nobel laureate and warrior, @mariaressa. We spoke about tech, power, and humanity. If you haven't checked out the podcast yet, please do! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technically-optimistic/id1689164209
Thank you to all my guests including Sneha Revanur of Encode Justice, @salkhanacademy , Pat Yongrapradit of code.org, @troos of the Finnish Center for AI, and professor @tommitchelldata https://apple.co/3Oq1ORl
AI and education is a thorny topic. This week on #TechnicallyOptimistic we ask, can AI be a tool that enriches learning, rather than replacing it? How we can ensure that everyone can benefit from the tech? Listen now wherever you get your podcasts: https://apple.co/3Oq1ORl
Plus, by supporting collaborations b/t academia and industry, we could see powerful AI-driven contributions in fields like healthcare, transportation, engineering, and more...
Besides regulation, the govt can do more to secure a safe and competitive environment for #AI. Invest in academia. And invest big.
Its a rare investment where the country could both do GOOD and do WELL. Read on for my latest piece on AI and how a massive investment in academia can unlock the "unknown unknowns" of AI: https://bit.ly/44SO7Re
A Massive Government Investment in Academia Can Unlock the “Unknown Unknowns” of AI
Though the coverage of AI is dominated by private sector firms like OpenAI and Google, the truth is that the field of AI has historically been driven by research universities. From the 1950s onwards, the big breakthroughs in this field were done by professors and taking place in research labs—not in technological office parks.
Part 2 is live today! I speak with Sen. @michaelbennet @tristanharris Rep. @jayobernolte @pnhoward of the #IPIE @ianbremmer and @geomblog. Together, we explore what it might mean to codify a regulatory system that creates safety without stifling ingenuity. https://apple.co/3NKEyNq
What are the risks if we regulate AI? What are the risks if we don't? In #TechnicallyOptimistic we discuss the risk of an unregulated AI ecosystem with @tristanharris, @samgregory @geomblog + Meredith Broussard. Part 2 of this ep drops on Friday! https://apple.co/3JPLEPF
[2/2] In part 1, I discuss the balance of society, technology and the law with @tristanharris, human rights activist @samgregory founder of WITNESS; @geomblog professor of computer science; and Meredith Broussard, professor, author and data scientist. Together we explore what it will take to design guardrails that can steer innovation and ensure a fruitful, not fearful, technological future. Listen and let me know your thoughts. Part 2 drops on Friday. https://apple.co/3JPLEPF
[1/2] Regulation is a controversial topic for Silicon Valley. We often understand what's at stake when the government gets involved in setting rules for innovation, but what do we risk when technology is allowed to develop and deploy, completely unfettered? I'm excited to share this week's 2-part episode of #TechnicallyOptimistic where we ask, who has the power to regulate AI https://apple.co/3JPLEPF
