Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

Right.

Odd Lots

Well, it actually comes back also to that previous point.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

Do you need all that expertise inside?

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

Or also, how do you regulate this in such a way that also stimulates more innovation?

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

Because you don't want to

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

put a cap on the innovation just by over-regulating it.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

This is where, by the way, I disagree with the abundance theorem, which makes it sound like, you know, there's all these opportunities out there and it was regulation and too much planning and too many conditions that kind of hurt that, which I think actually corporate governance and shareholder value maximization has really actually stifled the opportunities that we have today.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

So they don't have to, of

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

But they do need to do exactly as you said, like we do with climate, right, where there's climate disclosures.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

We need to know what it is that we want to be disclosed.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

In fact, we have a project that we just did, that we just finished with, do you know Tim O'Reilly?

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

Yeah.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

So it was Tim and myself with a grant from the Amiriyar Foundation, a project we called Algorithmic Rents, and how to reduce these rents and how we're designing algorithms also through disclosures.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

So we thought about what would be the equivalent of AI related disclosures that could do exactly, as you said, be almost the equivalent of what banks now have to do, but also companies have to do around kind of ESG kind of metrics.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

And so, I mean, the project is still underway.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

And what we want is actually to find kind of a coalition of AI companies that would be willing to think about this with us.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

But that assumes, right, that there's also enough of the science as there has been with climate change.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

which said, this is an urgent problem.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

And unless we fix it now, we're going to reach a tipping point where there's no coming back.

Odd Lots
Mariana Mazzucato Thinks We Need More Moonshots

That's really when things started to change around the climate disclosures.
