The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

Everything.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

I will say, yes, you're right.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

When he says AI will change everything, and when he says AI can change public services, I think there is, it can do those things.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And the question is, how should we allow it to do those things?

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And which kind of AI technology should we allow to do those things?

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

Because going back to the idea that AI is ultimately a collection of vastly different technologies, you know, when we talk about transportation, we talk about transitioning our portfolio of transportation options

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

From more individual to more shared and public options,

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

from more fossil fuel-based options to more electric options.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And we don't have that conversation when it comes to AI.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

So this idea of AI is going to change everything is actually, you know, transportation is also going to change everything.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

Yes, but which modes of transportation do we actually want to invest in and do we actually want to use?

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And which ones are targeted at fixing the problems that we need?

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

You know, we never say everyone should get a rocket and use that rocket for everything.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

You should use that rocket to commute

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

from London to Manchester, and that would be absolutely destructive to our planet.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And it wouldn't actually even be very time efficient because it would take so long to load up the rocket for a relatively short commute.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And so in the same way, we need to be very targeted about how we're designing our AI systems, what kind of specialized systems we want to develop, what kind of political economy are we enabling when we vote for particular AI technologies,

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

And ultimately, what kind of future do we want to live in?

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

I mean, that's up to us.

The News Agents
How the tech bros of AI are breaking our democracy

Yeah, yeah, exactly.
