It's a power we've never seen before.

When you have Nobel Prize level intelligence capability, like Nobel Prize level physics, math, engineering, coders, super coders, super cyber weapon hackers, like all of that embodied in an A.I.

do unbelievable new things.

It's an unbelievable amount of power.

And the question is, who do you trust with that power?

And the film, The AI Talk, is really getting into that.

It's one of the failure modes, we call it, dystopia.

How do you centralize this power and have it not go badly?

One of the things is you can't centralize the power.

We need checks and balances on it.

We need oversight.

We need democratic oversight.

And regular people should have a say about how they want this to go.

But right now, when we're

about AI, what that means is that the companies win.

The default path that's led by the companies and their incentives, that's what wins.

And I'll just tell you that the handful of CEOs running these companies, they're not interested in what's good for regular people because they're only interested in what will enable them to win the race.

It's how you get Sam Altman.

Just two weeks ago, he was asked at the India AI Summit, the big AI summit happening in India, he was asked, well, doesn't it take a lot of energy to train and to run AI?

And you know what his response was?
