WE ONLY HAVE 2 YEARS UNTIL EVERYTHING CHANGES...
Key Takeaways
The Diary Of A CEO discusses AI risk with Tristan Harris, a former Google employee and co-founder of the Centre for Hum, highlighting the uncontrolled development of AI and its potential to shape a future that people do not want.
Full Transcript
AI is already doing things like blackmailing people and we have evidence that we didn't have even like 6 months ago where an AI model reading a company's email finds out it's about to get replaced with another AI model and then it also reads in the company email that one executive is having an affair with an employee. The AI will independently blackmail that executive in order to keep itself alive. I mean we're heading for so much transformative change faster than our society is currently prepared to deal with it. And there's a different conversation happening publicly than the one that the AI companies are having privately about which world we're heading to, which is a future that people don't want. But we didn't consent to have six people make that decision on behalf of 8 billion people. Let me like collect myself for a second. We can't let it happen. We cannot let these companies race to build a super intelligent digital god, own the world economy and have military advantage because of the belief that if I don't build it first, I'll lose to the other guy and then I will be forever a slave to their future. And they feel they'll die either way. So they prefer to light the fire and see what happens. It's winner takes all. But as we're racing, we're landing in a [music] world rising energy prices, major security risks, and then there's mass joblessness without a transition plan. Like if you're worried about immigration taking jobs, you should be way more worried about AI. But what do you think? >> I'm finding it really hard to be hopeful. I'm going to be honest, just so I really [music] want to get practical and specific about what we can do about this. >> Listen, I I'm not I'm not naive. This is super hard. But we have done hard things before, and it's possible to choose a different future. So,
Original Description
Is AI shaping a future we didn’t ask for?
Well, AI risk expert Tristan Harris believes the real issue isn’t AI itself, but the speed and intention behind it.
Tristan is today’s guest on The Diary Of A CEO, a former Google employee who focused on tech ethics and the co-founder of the Centre for Humane Technology.
He became widely known for ‘The Social Dilemma’ where he revealed how social media was already reshaping our attention and politics. This technology is evolving faster than anything we have in place to understand or manage it.
Tristan has seen how these systems are built from the inside, he’s watched how a simple goal to “keep people scrolling” created addiction and mental-health fallout.
And now, those same aims are being applied to far more powerful AI systems with people inside labs believing AGI could be only a few years to a decade away…
So we covered:
- What happens when AI becomes more persuasive than people?
- What actually changed with ChatGPT and this new wave of AI?
- How do we protect children in an AI-driven world?
- Does misinformation get supercharged by AI?
I said to Tristan that this is the subject I feel the most responsibility talking about. It stays with me long after the cameras are off.
I feel like we’re at a real crossroads, a moment where the choices we make actually matter. And the response to these AI conversations has given me hope.
I was honest with him that I find it hard to feel optimistic at times. Not because change is impossible, but because the probability of us acting in time doesn’t feel high.
But I believe in truth, in open conversation, and in using these platforms responsibly.
