Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 2: Well, our next guest needs no introduction, but we're gonna

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: give them one anyway. He's a Silicon Valley legend. He

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: Great to be here. Thank you for you.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 4: As we were just talking, it's the loudest environment where

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 4: we've ever done a radio show before it so hopefully

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 4: it'll work.

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 5: It's working so far, so far, so good.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: But I have to ask you, are you a real

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: or am I talking to some sort of AI digital

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: twin round?

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 5: Well, and explain why I have to ask that question, please, So.

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: As you as you know, I did an interview with

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: myself where I was talking to my own digital twin

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: read AI, and.

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: I did it in order to kind of show that

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: not only obviously there's a.

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 4: Whole bunch of concerns, there's concerns and political and misinformation

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: and and and a deep makes and a bunch of

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 4: other stuff that are real concerns. But even here there's

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: optimism to look at what can we shaped towards. And

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: I wanted to show not just how that message and

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: so I was like, okay, well let me talk to

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: my own read AI and see how it works. And

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: so and the reason why you asked that question, of course,

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: and you said, well, wait a minute.

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: That was pretty good. It was we're here in person,

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: you can tell this is I'm the real.

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: Sounds like this looked like you. Yes, yeah, it is

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 5: like you looked.

37
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 4: Like video audio and the words we're all AI generated.

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: It was zero from me. It was other than mirroring off.

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: My earlier videos, mirroring off my earlier podcast.

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 5: Use your use your book to train as well.

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, it used all everything I written to good

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: answers the way read wouldn't answered.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 6: We're all going to have digital twins someday, and we're

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 6: gonna use us.

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 5: We go to the DMV for me, So I think

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: we must.

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: It's certainly possible. Certainly, if you're a media person, you'll

48
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: have a digital twin. Certainly if you're a leader, you'll

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: have a digital twin because it'll be used in If

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: you're a lawyer, you'll have one because then people can

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: talk to your digital twins and maybe at a cheaper

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: rate the dog you are preparing for your meeting or

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. So I think it will be

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: a stack of areas for digital twins that will be

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: very real.

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure all eight billion people were.

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: Also district well, so so why should this excite us

58
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: and not scare us and want us to all move

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: to bunkers.

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 4: So it should be, but naturally it should both excite

61
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: and scare us.

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: The scaret is the negative is the.

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: Scas is of political misinformation, you know, things that are

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: going to be happening this year in the US until

65
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: we're in other major elections of democracy. It should scare

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: us because there's questions around a minute, what did someone

67
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: who created a deep make of me doing something or

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: saying something?

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: I really am poor? Like you know, like you know

70
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 3: how I.

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: Think Trump is a corruption in democracy against the rule

72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: on what happens to your created I love Trump.

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: You know that would be obviously a problem.

74
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: And so there's all kinds of ways that there are

75
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 4: real problems are So on the other hand, we will

76
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: we will, as we always do with technology, to figure

77
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: out how to navigate and get that not perfectly but sufficiently,

78
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: and there will be great things like for example, that's

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: part of the reason I started showing me. Hey, look here,

80
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: I'm making a deep bake of myself and it's not

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: that bad.

82
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 6: You know, read when you sat down, I said, the

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: conversations we have a lot of blueberg and we've written

84
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: about this is here.

85
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: You have Lincoln kind of the social.

86
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: Media site, that kind of the social media site that

87
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 6: seems to be clean, pure, You can stress any conversations

88
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 6: so we can get it right. So how is that

89
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 6: kind of a guiding for since in terms of jenai

90
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 6: and how do you think about this? What are the guardrails?

91
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 6: How do we regulate it?

92
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so the good news is the mostly frontier

93
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: model companies, Microsoft, Open Ai, Google are all putting a

94
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: lot of energy in that kind of making these models

95
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: healthy participants within the US, but within the global kind

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: of media ecosystem, like don't generate fake inflammation, be civil,

97
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: you know, don't do hate speech, don't enabe it self harm.

98
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: They all put a lot of energy and a lot

99
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 4: of work in that, and I don't.

100
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: Can invest hundreds of millions of dollars and teams one

101
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: hundreds of people in order to do that.

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: Now, one of the challenges is is that some of

103
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: these models are an open source, and as an open source,

104
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: someone else takes the open source model to something that's

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 4: not any of that with that right, and that's part

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: of the reason why we still have to navigate this.

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: So you have trust so that we can navigate it

108
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 6: correctly and safely in the future AI.

109
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: So the ultimate answer is absolutely yes. That doesn't mean

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: that there aren't.

111
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: Potholes, you know, bumps in the road, under scrapes all

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: the rest, and I guarantee you there will be those two.

113
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: The US can't get Vladimir Putin not to invade in Ukraine.

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: The world can't get him not to stop fighting there.

115
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: What convinces you that we could.

116
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: Get a leader like him not to use AI? Oh bad?

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: Zero percent?

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: Like if you said that, uh that Hooton will be

119
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: using AI to disrupt the US elections, you know probably

120
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: support Trump because that's his exit strategy from Ukraine.

121
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: Uh, he will do that. One is no way of

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: having it. The defense is not getting him not to

123
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: do it.

124
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: The defense is integrating AI in our own tech platform.

125
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: I'm using our stronger AI in defects.

126
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: So essentially saying, okay, well, maybe you see something on

127
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Facebook and met platforms might have developed something that says, Okay,

128
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: well this isn't necessarily.

129
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 5: Something that's true.

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: Yes, but do you.

131
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 5: Trust Do you trust Facebook to do that?

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: Actually?

133
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 5: So, and you have a deep history with the company, Yes,

134
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 5: I have a deep.

135
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: History of the company.

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 4: I actually have talked to Zucker Bigger about it, and

137
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: they're investing in it. I think they're making a real effort.

138
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: So I think like they're really try. I'm more worried

139
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: about Twitter that I am about Facebook on this matter.

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 5: Okay, why are you more worried about Twitter?

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: Well, because, looks Elon.

142
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 5: Musk is someone you also go way beastly.

143
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, Elon is a literally one of the

144
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: heroes of our generation.

145
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: You know, uh, Space and.

146
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: Kind of Starlink and Tesla and easy just amazing, amazing, amazing.

147
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have any of this about it. It is

148
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: so spectacular. On the other hand, before he buys Twitter,

149
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: he's like, oh, we have this problem with robots and

150
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: then after he bought the lot trying to get out

151
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: of the and then after your body, oh what robots,

152
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: and you're like, oh, the robots are still there. There's

153
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: still like Internet Research Agency watching robot farms doing shit.

154
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: Are you doing anything about them? I'm not hearing anything.

155
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 5: To be fair, I did see I did see an

156
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: ad on.

157
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Twitter recently with a deep bake of Jeff Bezos pushing

158
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: a cryptocurrency. It's a paid ad, yes, that has showed

159
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: up repeatedly in my feed obviously not a proved vice.

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, And so therefore, what are you doing

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: about AI and j Well, you know, elon is so complex.

162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 6: Back from Milkin, he did a conversation with Michael Milton.

163
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: He said, very important to have.

164
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 6: Maximum seeking AI and maximum curious AI. And then it's

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: taught not to lie nor do things that are not true.

166
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Well, walk the lock, don't just lock the dock. Well,

167
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: can I ask? I'm as curious as we have.

168
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: All these conversations about jen AI. How is it going

169
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 6: to impact my life? How's it really going to impact

170
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: him's life, How's it really going to impact your life?

171
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: So here's a simple way of looking at all of

172
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: us are going to have a personal AI assistant that

173
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: it's going to be helping with us with its focus

174
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: on us, right, so it'll be like, Hey, what do

175
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: you need help with? Do you need help with figuring

176
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: out say something like like where to go? What's entertaining

177
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: to do you know in the cities and I or

178
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: Oh I'm having this, I'm trying to figure out this

179
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: thing with my kids. Oh, we can help you with that.

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: Oh I'm trying to figure this medical thing. Oh I

181
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: can help you with that. Oh, I'm trying to figure

182
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: out I had this difficult conversation with a coworker. Oh,

183
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 4: I'll talk to you about that. It will help us

184
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: with a whole range of things, and like, for example,

185
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: part of what we found an inflection was really surprising

186
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: to us and very positive.

187
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: Which has pides personal intelligence is.

188
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: People will stay, Oh, I got these eight ingredients with

189
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: my friends what should I name? Or my toaster broke

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: and I fixed it and you're like, actually, in fact,

191
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: it helps with all of that. So that's that human

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: amplification that's helping us navigate our lives, which is the

193
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 4: thing I guarantee will be.

194
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 5: That I love the ingredients in the Fridge part of it.

195
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 2: Hey, if you're just joining us, we're speaking to the

196
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: REDA Hoffmann, the PayPal of LinkedIn, of open AI, of

197
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: Inflection AI, of the podcast Possible. But this certainly goes

198
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: on read I'm wondering about winners and losers when it

199
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: comes to AI AI in terms of companies.

200
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 5: You're on the board of Microsoft. I'm mented a couple

201
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: of the.

202
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: Big companies that you've invested in, that you founded. Is

203
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: there a concern that we're just going to see the

204
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: big companies like Microsoft, like in video, like Amazon, like

205
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: meta platforms, they're going to be the only winners when

206
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: it comes to AI.

207
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: What I guarantee you is they're not going to be

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 4: the only one. They will be winners.

209
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 6: Right.

210
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: Satia has just done a masterful job, like like remember

211
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 4: it started with a.

212
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: Million dollars deal with a five O one C three.

213
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: I think in the first time in the history something

214
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: like that's happening, like genius strategy from talking and I

215
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: think it will be Uh, it'll across all of these companies.

216
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: I think they will have strong winds going in the future.

217
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: On the other hand, you know at bray Locke, we're

218
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: investing a whole bunch of AI company.

219
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: We do it reasonably well.

220
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: We have a whole portfolio that we're excited about. And

221
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: I think that the I think that it's just you

222
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: don't play the same game. It's a little bit like

223
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: and you said, hey, I gotta start up. I'm gonna

224
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: try to make a new desktop search company. You're like, well,

225
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: one of the difficults, right there is this company called Google.

226
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: It's a little challenging.

227
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, I'm gonna make a new handset mobile

228
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 4: phone device. You're like, oh, there's this company called a

229
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: whole it's a little challenging. So you know, you don't

230
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: do it that way. But there's gonna be a whole

231
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: range of other AI companies.

232
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: The things that will like everything from opportunities that the large.

233
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: Tech companies just can't focus on, to taking interesting risk

234
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 4: and making that risk look good and then all of

235
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: a sudden building out ins and mean, so I think

236
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: there's gonna be rain.

237
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: The startups are well excited about ideas. We have podcasts.

238
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: We have a great podcast.

239
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 5: You have a great new podcast.

240
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: Tell us about possible, Well, tell us about it, like

241
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 6: you want to talk too.

242
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 3: What are the conversations you want to have, so for me,

243
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: it's possible.

244
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: It's too much of the dialogue is about technology being

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: dangerous to us. How we evolve this humanity, how we

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: become better and more human.

247
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: It's throd technology.

248
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: It's it's clothing, it's classes, it's it's it's food, it's cooking,

249
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: it's fired, it's buildings.

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: All of this is.

251
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: Technology that's helped us make us as the human names

252
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: we are. AI will be saying as the whole point

253
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm on the Possible podcast used to say, this is

254
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: how technology can help us become more human, not to go,

255
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, what's coming in technology. It's it can

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: be great for us, and it's not that hard to shape.

257
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: We just need to shape it. Whether it's AI, whether

258
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: it's just the use of phones.

259
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 4: And you know, obviously people like to talk about what

260
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: social networks and they go, wow, that's going to have

261
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: a talented It's like, well, look at LinkedIn. LinkedIn's work

262
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: out pretty well, it's doable. It's doable, so let's do it.

263
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: We don't want to end with something that everybody loves

264
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: to talk about politics.

265
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 6: We all agree.

266
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: Look, you've been open about your feelings about these some Trump,

267
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: do you help fund Eugene Carroll's definition of lawsuits against

268
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: the former president. There are a lot of business leaders

269
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: out there, some of them people you work with very closely,

270
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: to say that business under a President Trump administration was

271
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: better than business under a Biden administration. And that's why

272
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: we're in the corner of Donald Trump when it comes

273
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty four.

274
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: What do you say to them?

275
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 4: So I understand the approach that Trump reason is more

276
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: regulatory lightweight than Biden. And by the way, generally speaking,

277
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: being more regulatory lightweight is a good thing. I try

278
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: to encourage the Biden administration to do that. On the

279
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: other hand, what's more fundamental is the rule of law.

280
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: Business works much much better with a healthy, strong rule

281
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: of law.

282
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: You do not want to have leaders who are literally

283
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: in a court.

284
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 4: Like had been convicted by a court of you were

285
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: slandering about your sexual assault and a jury found you guilty. Right,

286
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 4: we should be a rule of law country first. And

287
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: by the way, this is what's the business leaders. By

288
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 4: the way, rule of law is what makes great business.

289
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: That's the reason why actually Biden is a matter of

290
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: president for business, even though the regulatory thing won't be

291
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: exactly what you.

292
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: Want, and we'll have to work on it. But rule

293
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: of laws fundamental and to your perspective, your point of you, yes,

294
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: my mind, yes, business.

295
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 6: But I do wonder that you know, soon as you

296
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 6: look at the November election, that outcome, if it is

297
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 6: not another Biden White House present, former president from back

298
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 6: in the White House, what does it mean for the

299
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 6: tech industry or in terms of the rule.

300
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 5: Of laws not plowed?

301
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: Well, So, look, I there's the tech industry can pride

302
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: under either administration.

303
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: But I do think that if either buy nor trust stuff.

304
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: But if I think Trump's elected, I think history will

305
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 4: look back as the beginning of the end of the

306
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: American world order, and that will have a massive effect

307
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 4: on global business.

308
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: How far are you willing to go? It's a reelect your.

309
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: Well, I'm willing to invest, I'm willing to speak, I'm

310
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: willing to campaign, I'm willing to try to Like when

311
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: a prominent business leader speaks up and says I'm pro drought,

312
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: I call them and I said, let's talk about it.

313
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: Do you ever change their mind?

314
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: Of course?

315
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: Look for example, look, one of the things you have

316
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: to do is think about blind spots, like I just

317
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: said something that was positive about how Trump's administration was running.

318
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: Like I inspite to say you want a new regulation,

319
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: we're move an old one.

320
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: It's an exactly right thing.

321
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 6: But I think what you said about globally the perception

322
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 6: of the rest of the world potentially what the US

323
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 6: means and what it is in terms of busy.

324
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: People will not trust us. They will say we now

325
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: no longer trust that. You're into the world of law

326
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 4: and equal system all the rest.

327
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: All right, if you weren't in a world where Jenna

328
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 6: AI was everything twenty seconds, what's the other technology? We

329
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: should have it on radars quickly.

330
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: Well, so the other thing that's following behind it is

331
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: synthetic biology. And when you put them together, by the way,

332
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: like the invention of new pharmaceuticals, new medicines, everything else,

333
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: it's like, let's just hold on to get to the future,

334
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: because the future could be so amazing.

335
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 6: You do you think about what AI could do right

336
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 6: and just play around?

337
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,760
