The Personalities Shaping AI & The Future They're Building (with Sebastian Mallaby)

from Brew Markets · host Morning Brew

Episode 167: AI is omnipresent, seeping into every part of our lives. It’s dominating global news cycles, showing up in Washington hearings and moving markets. But how did we get here? Today, Ann is joined by Sebastian Mallaby, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, to discuss not only the current state of AI, but the path that led us here. Through the lens of his new book, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind and the Quest for Superintelligence, they dive into the balance between government regulation and private sector innovation as well as the economics behind the industry. They also explore the personalities shaping AI and why, in the rapidly evolving space, the future could come down to the people building it.
