Weekend Listen: Google’s James Manyika on AI Risk

from Big Take Hosted by Bloomberg and iHeartPodcasts

Amid growing concern over AI risks, top tech executives were summoned to the White House this past week and agreed to US President Donald Trump’s preferred alternative to federal regulation. The accord, which carries no legal weight, commits Anthropic, OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta, SpacexAI and Google to “robust internal processes” and independent audits, and comes soon after safety worries delayed the release of the latest ChatGPT model. At Google, James Manyika’s role as senior vice president of technology and society — and as co-director of the newly established DeepMind Institute — is to help ensure that AI turns out well. In this conversation with Mishal Husain, the two discuss what regulation could look like without the support of the US and where Google stands in the debate.
