After 35 years working in technology across both the U.S.

and China, Alvin W. Graylin sees three possible paths for the future of AI.

One where tech giants create a class of trillionaires, one where competition escalates into war, or one where humanity builds and shares this technology for the common good.

In this conversation with journalist and TED Radio Hour host Manoush Zomorodi, Graylin cuts through the hype to clarify how to make sure we choose the right path.

That was Alvin W. Graylin in conversation with Manoush Somorodi at TED Next in 2025.
