Because from a commercial standpoint, nobody wants their AI brand to be the brand that develops some bad virus.
So there is an incentive there to protect against the negative cases.
But the sort of big long-term case is that the AIs get so smart that then we have to do things to make sure that they're aligned with human values, that they are programmed so that success is humans flourishing.
So just as an example, we can look at video creation storytelling and sort of say, let's look at what AI is going to do and the mechanics of generating video.
And frankly, whether that's a news channel trying to illustrate a concept or entertainers trying to do amazing special effects, we're going to have higher quality special effects.
And that will shift to be AI generated instead of manually generated with sort of overseas visual effects companies.
So there is a shift there.
But the core thing of storytelling is very hard.
How do you do long form character development, creating tension, resolving tension?
That's not a case that the AI does well today.
Eventually, 10, 20 years, the AI may win the Booker Prize.
okay and then if it does it's going to be able to do a movie script also but for now the ai is really helping on sort of industrial aspects of what we do like an amazing visual effect shot and so it's you know important and we want to stay on the front as as disney does but it's not doing the core thing which is which story is going to captivate human attention
Well, I think interpreting the world, in your case, is a broad general wisdom.
And so I think you'll have a relatively long-standing role in your success.
Given my age, I'm good.
Given your age, you're good.
But it is a very big change.
Again, people want to compare it to the Industrial Revolution.
That happened over 200 years.
This is going to happen over 10 or 20 years.
