Summary

In this episode we discuss the video from Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, where he argues that while artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be beneficial, it poses significant risks due to misaligned incentives. He draws parallels between social media's early stages and the current AI revolution, highlighting how the pursuit of engagement led to negative consequences like addiction, misinformation, and societal polarisation. Harris contends that the "race to roll out" AI systems is likely to exacerbate these issues, creating new problems like the proliferation of deepfakes and the potential for AI-generated harm. To mitigate these risks, Harris advocates for a "governance upgrade" that would see resources dedicated to AI safety and regulation. He proposes various solutions, including provably safe requirements for AI models, protection for whistleblowers, and legal frameworks that hold developers accountable for the potential harms of their creations.
