Everything.
I will say, yes, you're right.
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.
And the question is, how should we allow it to do those things?
And which kind of AI technology should we allow to do those things?
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
From more individual to more shared and public options,
from more fossil fuel-based options to more electric options.
And we don't have that conversation when it comes to AI.
So this idea of AI is going to change everything is actually, you know, transportation is also going to change everything.
Yes, but which modes of transportation do we actually want to invest in and do we actually want to use?
And which ones are targeted at fixing the problems that we need?
You know, we never say everyone should get a rocket and use that rocket for everything.
You should use that rocket to commute
from London to Manchester, and that would be absolutely destructive to our planet.
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.
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,
And ultimately, what kind of future do we want to live in?
I mean, that's up to us.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
