If we were to build a sovereign AI fund, we should probably apply it to things like Workforce training, all the folk who are likely to lose jobs to these sorts of tools.
E
28:19Ethan ZuckermanGUEST
And by the way, I would hesitate to add that those of us on this call are probably early on in industries that are likely to be badly disrupted by AI.

S
30:50Shawna TaetsGUEST
