Interdependence 7 : Glen Weyl (RadicalxChange)

In this episode we speak to Glen Weyl, author, economist and Principal Research at Microsoft Research. His ideas inspired the formation of the Radical X Change Foundation, who are holding a conference this weekend from June 19-21 I would recommend you check out.If you are interested in following the conference, in which we are speaking alongside Audrey Tang, Digital Minister or Taiwan, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum and others, head over to RadicalxChange.org for more information. The interactive tickets are sold out, however I believe that the whole thing will be streamed live.In this very candid discussion with Glen we cover his recent work on COVID-19, his recently published essay “AI is an ideology, not a technology” co-authored with Jaron Lanier, his belief in the urgent need for pluralistic technologies and transitioning from corporations to stakeholder democracies, as well as his personal political transition from California libertarianism to socialism. It is a fun and generous conversation, I hope you enjoy it!Links:RadicalxChange conferencehttps://www.radicalxchange.org/2020-conference/AI is an Ideology not a Technologyhttps://www.wired.com/story/opinion-ai-is-an-ideology-not-a-technology/Data Dignity:https://issuu.com/radicalxchange/docs/data_legislation_paper_--_20191031
