And that cannot be left up to the tech industry.

I mean, I don't think we should be under any illusions.

The most likely path we're on, the one we are on right now,

leads to disaster for our societies and all societies globally.

I actually don't think anyone gets out of this thing.

I've spent the last six months traveling the world talking to leaders and a whole bunch of people behind closed doors where you have some really spine tingling conversations.

And there's a strain of opinion, mostly in the US and China, which thinks we can just win this race for AI.

And

A bunch of other people will get screwed, but we'll be okay.

And that's not going to happen when, of course, you have societies all over the world that are going to be in chaos.

No one gets out of this thing in one piece.

But we're in a moment now where I think actually a lot of people across societies who are paying a bit of attention, they're seeing things are failing on any number of fronts.

You look at all the polling, why is it the overwhelming majority of societies

in almost all the world, say things are generally going in the wrong direction.

People are angry.

They realize that there aren't new answers.

There is no vision coming from the top anymore.

And in that context, you then have big tech racing to install these systems where people are now really worried about their jobs.

There's a lot of polling showing that the number one thing that gets people panicked about AI, which explains why it is in fact incredibly unpopular with societies, is because they're worried about their future jobs.

So this is something where I think actually there's a lot of people who already are looking for a very different approach to how you manage these things.
