Technology policy

hey everybody welcome back to another episode of the negotiation podcast i'm your host todd embly and on today's show an old friend and a returning guest alvin wong graylin he's a professor of ai and tech policy at the university of washington a fellow at the asia society and stanford hai and the author of our next reality in part one of this conversation he and i explore the big picture questions around artificial intelligence what AGI and ASI actually mean, whether AI will deliver a post-scarcity world or introduce new risks, and how AI is reshaping jobs and the global economy right now.

Alvin then lays out his great AI reckoning thesis, his prediction of a coming financial correction in the AI sector, and walks through the five reconnectings he believes a crash could trigger.

The conversation closes with his argument for raising AI rather than simply deploying it.
