Ep. 1 - AI & Us

In this episode of In the Long Run, Joao, Marie and Jim dive into the exciting world of OpenAI’s latest release—the O1 preview model. Designed to spend more time “thinking” before responding, this new AI model is breaking barriers in complex problem-solving, coding, and mathematics. The hosts discuss how this represents a significant leap in AI capabilities, possibly even challenging our definitions of intelligence. They also explore the evolving relationship between humans and AI, debating whether AI could be considered a new form of intelligence or even a separate “species.” The conversation touches on the importance of collaboration between humans and AI, the ethical considerations of AI-assisted creations, and how organizations can adapt to these rapid technological advancements. Join us as we navigate the implications of this paradigm shift and ponder what it means for the future of work, research, and society at large.
