Ep 185 | Why Experts Are Suddenly Freaking OUT About AI | Tristan Harris | The Glenn Beck Podcast

Published: May 13, 2023, 8 a.m.

To his surprise, Glenn has found that many artificial intelligence experts would rather play politics than warn the world about what\u2019s coming. AI is this generation\u2019s atom bomb, but experts like Google alumnus Geoffrey Hinton have refused to speak with Glenn. But in this episode, Glenn speaks with one of the few who will. As the co-founder and executive director of the Center for Humane Technology, Tristan Harris has devoted himself to warning us about the dangers of AI. The Atlantic described him as \u201cthe closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience,\u201d and his Netflix Original docuseries, \u201cThe Social Dilemma,\u201d documents the devastating power of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. But AI, he predicts, will be even more disruptive. Tristan tells Glenn about what the future of AI can easily look like if it isn\u2019t reined in now: more Chinese infiltration, a rise in teenage suicide, and a creepy Big Tech race toward AI intimacy with humans. But is government regulation the best solution? As Tristan points out, this question needs to be answered right now by ALL of us. More and more often, artificial intelligences are developing minds of their own \u2014 with frighteningly god-like intelligence and power. Tristan describes this as \u201csummoning the demon,\u201d asking Glenn why we should let five people in Silicon Valley decide for the rest of humanity. If we\u2019re not careful, Tristan tells Glenn, this could be the final test of our species.\n\nSPONSORS:\n\nHome title fraud is growing 2.5x faster than credit card fraud.
