Well, that's a good question. Fei-Fei Li started it along with John Ichimendi, and they recruited me out to Stanford. You were MIT? Yeah, I was at a major city in Massachusetts. You're picking bones with me because that is the other city that thinks it's a major city. Well, I'm sorry. It's too bad we keep beating New York in all the sports, but that's just the way it goes.

Good, yeah, you can cope. So the idea is that AI is doing these amazing things, but we want to do it in service of humans and make sure that we keep humans at the center of all of that.

A lot of technologists are very focused on the technology, but I'm an economist, as you mentioned, and there are political scientists, sociologists, artists, and we're all working to use AI to help lots of the other parts of the world and of academia.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

having ai or having technologies that let humans be human in their most essential way or what totally too many people think of machines as just sort of trying to imitate humans there's this iconic test of artificial intelligence called the turing test that many people are familiar with which is how much can you make a machine mimic a human to the point where you can't tell which is which and that was i think a visionary idea when alan turing proposed it in 1950

But in a way, it's a very constraining idea because machines can help us do new things we never could have done before. And that's a much higher ceiling. And so we want to look for ways that machines can complement humans, not simply imitate or replace them. And so I wrote a paper recently called The Turing Trap, trying to steer people away from this idea of just imitating humans.

I think it's still part of the conversation. I don't know. Maybe in the press, there's things that go up and down in cycles to some extent. AI is becoming much more powerful. There continues to be rapid progress. And the good news is we can have tremendously higher productivity and wealth and have medical solutions addressing poverty in the environment. But it also raises a number of risks.
