About this listen

Journalist and author Brian Merchant (Motherboard, LA Times), joins to discuss his book Blood in the Machine, and what the AI revolution should learn from the Luddite movement. Brian’s substack functions as part of Greg’s conscience, and they talk about the current political climate in AI, and why AI companies face a strategy challenge after driving adoption with free services.

When a tech critic and an AI CEO compare notes, where do they find common ground?

Plus, Greg pitches Brian on his vision of future supercompanies. For more on that, see Juliet Bailin’s analysis in Episode 2 - Who’s Going to Win in the AI Economy?
