1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,973
Speaker 1: from Newstalk SEDB.

3
00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:15,853
Speaker 2: Twenty one to eleven on Newstalk said, b Oprah of

4
00:00:15,893 --> 00:00:19,533
Speaker 2: all people, is going to educate America about AI, about

5
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:22,493
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. Our text Bert Paul Steinhouse is doing the

6
00:00:22,493 --> 00:00:24,693
Speaker 2: same thing for us and as well as now, hey Paul,

7
00:00:25,133 --> 00:00:26,853
Speaker 2: why is Oprah getting involved?

8
00:00:27,133 --> 00:00:29,293
Speaker 3: Well, she's been doing a lot of these TV shows

9
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:33,173
Speaker 3: over here. She did one recently about ozepic and the

10
00:00:33,173 --> 00:00:36,533
Speaker 3: weight loss drops yep to sort of educate America about

11
00:00:36,573 --> 00:00:40,773
Speaker 3: those And so Oprah's news special is called AI and

12
00:00:40,813 --> 00:00:43,453
Speaker 3: the Future of Us and she has some heavy hitters

13
00:00:43,453 --> 00:00:45,293
Speaker 3: on the shoes, going to have Bill Gates, who was

14
00:00:45,373 --> 00:00:49,173
Speaker 3: the founder SEE of Microsoft, and Sam Altman, who is

15
00:00:49,253 --> 00:00:53,293
Speaker 3: the CEO of open Ai, which is the company that

16
00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:58,253
Speaker 3: created chat GPT. So she's going to basically explain in

17
00:00:58,333 --> 00:01:01,453
Speaker 3: everyday terms sort of how AI works, because I think

18
00:01:01,493 --> 00:01:03,773
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of a myth sometimes about how

19
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:06,173
Speaker 3: it works and maybe how magical it is and how

20
00:01:07,093 --> 00:01:11,253
Speaker 3: you know, human like it actually is. Right, And then

21
00:01:11,253 --> 00:01:15,493
Speaker 3: they're also going to talk about the possibilities, So in

22
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:19,013
Speaker 3: the good I guess, the pros, but also the risks

23
00:01:19,013 --> 00:01:22,293
Speaker 3: that are ahead, as in, you know, what changes could

24
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:24,413
Speaker 3: we see in society and what could we see in

25
00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:28,413
Speaker 3: the workforce. I'm really looking forward to it because, well,

26
00:01:28,453 --> 00:01:30,213
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be I mean, look, I

27
00:01:30,253 --> 00:01:32,013
Speaker 3: hope I know most of the answers to this stuff

28
00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:33,733
Speaker 3: having followed it very closely, and you know, I have

29
00:01:33,813 --> 00:01:35,493
Speaker 3: my own thoughts on it, but I'm really interested to

30
00:01:35,493 --> 00:01:39,533
Speaker 3: see how it's positioned and then also how what response

31
00:01:39,693 --> 00:01:40,333
Speaker 3: is like to it.

32
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:41,013
Speaker 2: Yeah.

33
00:01:41,093 --> 00:01:44,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, And does it start a conversation where people are

34
00:01:44,133 --> 00:01:47,893
Speaker 3: saying to their government, the US government, that they want

35
00:01:47,973 --> 00:01:50,013
Speaker 3: some changes or they want something different. It could be

36
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:52,973
Speaker 3: a real it could start a little flame.

37
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:54,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be a bit of a game changer. A.

38
00:01:54,773 --> 00:01:57,253
Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating, Yeah, especially especially with those

39
00:01:57,293 --> 00:01:59,933
Speaker 2: kind of interviews. It'll be very interesting. And speaking of AI,

40
00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:03,373
Speaker 2: the AI wars are kind of heating up. A.

41
00:02:03,693 --> 00:02:05,773
Speaker 3: Yes, it's to kind of like pick your player at

42
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:10,933
Speaker 3: the moment. Big established companies because they they're doing the

43
00:02:10,973 --> 00:02:12,813
Speaker 3: AI stuff, but they can certainly see that there are

44
00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:16,893
Speaker 3: startups around who are doing quite well. Right. Startups Nimble

45
00:02:17,453 --> 00:02:19,973
Speaker 3: a work in long hours to try to make this

46
00:02:20,013 --> 00:02:24,093
Speaker 3: a reality. And Amazon actually has a new Alexa coming

47
00:02:24,133 --> 00:02:27,653
Speaker 3: out that is supposed to be an enhanced Alexa, but

48
00:02:28,093 --> 00:02:31,133
Speaker 3: according to Router's reporting this week, Jack the initial versions

49
00:02:31,133 --> 00:02:35,053
Speaker 3: of Amazon's own AI tool said that the assistant was

50
00:02:35,093 --> 00:02:38,933
Speaker 3: struggling with words and struggling to respond to the user prompts.

51
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:42,533
Speaker 3: So they have now partnered with a startup called Anthropic

52
00:02:42,693 --> 00:02:45,453
Speaker 3: to be their new AI partner. But how are they

53
00:02:45,453 --> 00:02:47,533
Speaker 3: going to make money out of this? Always the question,

54
00:02:47,853 --> 00:02:50,733
Speaker 3: and it's there is some reporting that they could look

55
00:02:50,773 --> 00:02:54,213
Speaker 3: to put this enhanced assistant behind a paywalf, so you

56
00:02:54,213 --> 00:02:56,013
Speaker 3: could have to pay like five or ten dollars a

57
00:02:56,013 --> 00:02:59,053
Speaker 3: month to talk to your Alexa to get the enhanced service.

58
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:01,773
Speaker 3: But I talk about the AI wars heating up right.

59
00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:04,533
Speaker 3: Amazon actually already has a minority stake in that company

60
00:03:04,573 --> 00:03:08,613
Speaker 3: called Anthropic, the maker of chat gpt. They are looking

61
00:03:08,613 --> 00:03:12,493
Speaker 3: for investment round two at a cool one hundred billion

62
00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:16,773
Speaker 3: US scholars It didn't exist a few years ago, Yeah,

63
00:03:16,813 --> 00:03:20,893
Speaker 3: and they Apple was interested in them. Apple interestingly is

64
00:03:20,933 --> 00:03:24,533
Speaker 3: also planning to integrate chat gpt into its Suri service,

65
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:27,093
Speaker 3: and in Vidia is also interested. And in Video is

66
00:03:27,133 --> 00:03:30,533
Speaker 3: the big supplier of chips AI. So we really are

67
00:03:30,613 --> 00:03:33,133
Speaker 3: kind of like We're getting some little circles going on

68
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:35,173
Speaker 3: in places if you can start to do the mental

69
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:35,693
Speaker 3: map right.

70
00:03:35,893 --> 00:03:38,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fascinating time. Thank you, Paul. That is

71
00:03:38,573 --> 00:03:42,533
Speaker 2: our textpert, Paul Stenhouse. Yeah, really intriguing. It'll be it'll

72
00:03:42,533 --> 00:03:45,533
Speaker 2: be fascinating to see what that what impact Oprah's special

73
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:48,093
Speaker 2: on AI actually has, because i mean, you know, Oprah's

74
00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:50,613
Speaker 2: power might have waned a little bit compared to the

75
00:03:50,653 --> 00:03:54,253
Speaker 2: absolute healthy in days of her TV show. That being said,

76
00:03:54,253 --> 00:03:57,213
Speaker 2: she's still an incredibly influential character in the US.
