Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
And then over a decade now as a policy professional across Uber, Salesforce, Sequoia Capital, that's now peak 15, I think.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
Close to three decades of work in the policymaking space, whether it's media or it's public policy actively, made me realize one thing that I think India has changed, but our institutions have not.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
Institutions have just not kept pace with the needs of what the current new economy requires.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
And again, when you look at Meta, you look at Google, you look at Amazon, all of those big tech companies make a lot of investments in public policy.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
They understand and prioritize it.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
And during my time working with Sequoia Capital, Peak 15 Partners, and working with Appalachia, Absolutely brilliant founders.
Shweta Rajpal KohliGUEST
The one thing I realized is that we need a lot of handholding and understanding on why policy is important.
George HahnNARRATOR
A twenty-seven-year-old resigns from a firm he spent four months at triggers a global panic, drawing comments from a former president and calls from the leaders of Frontier Labs for a slowdown.

In nineteen forty-six, would we have let Robert Oppenheimer raise money from Sequoia Capital and begin selling nukes to the UAE and Procter & Gamble? I'm going on Smerconish tomorrow, where I'll be asked, "What the fuck is going on?" The honest answer is I don't know.
George HahnNARRATOR
What I am certain of, this is another example of a small number of players capturing staggering economic upside while outsourcing the downside risks or harms to the broader public.
George HahnNARRATOR

The interesting thing I used to, at Sequoia, I worked with this guy named Doug Leone.

Ultimately, generative AI is another one of the tech industry's financial bubbles, where its leading figures hype up the next big thing to drive investment and boost share prices, until reality starts to creep in and the crash begins.

Paris MarxHOST
It won't be everywhere, or have the widespread implementations the companies promised, but that doesn't mean there still won't be threats that emerge from its ongoing presence.
