00:00 Introduction
01:05 In your book Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit, co-authored with Henry Kissinger, what are the key ideas about the evolution of AI?
02:35 What do you think are the biggest risks of AI—sentience, misinformation, inequality, or loneliness?
04:49 Do you think AI girlfriends could make loneliness worse and lead to bigger social problems like extremism and misogyny?
07:18 How can we get the benefits of AI while stopping the negative effects?
09:50 In the past, big tech avoided regulation through lobbying. Why do you think AI will be treated differently?
13:17 Should companies be held criminally liable for harmful AI interactions?
17:29 Should kids under 14 have smartphones or use social media? Should tech companies take more responsibility?
19:20 How do we balance regulating AI to protect people while staying ahead of countries like China?
23:22 Should there be international treaties to prevent AI weaponization, and could AI be used to help monitor and stop threats?
26:20 Is the U.S. holding back on AI treaties because we think we’re the best?
31:04 Could the U.S. and China work together on AI security to solve a big part of the global threat?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The podcast episode "Eric Schmidt- The Risks and Opportunities of an AI Future" features Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, discusses the potential dangers and benefits associated with AI. He discusses what possible risks can be now identified with AI, including misinformation, inequality, loneliness, and even its potential to exacerbate social issues like extremism and misogyny, and the threat of AI weaponization. For him international regulations, even treaties are a must. He argues that unlike past technologies, AI might be treated differently due to its profound implications up to the point of suggesting that companies could be held liable for harmful interactions caused by AI. Despite these risks, Schmidt emphasizes the opportunities AI presents for innovation and solving global challenges. And that is why international cooperation in managing AI's development and deployment is so important where countries like the U.S. and China could be crucial in addressing AI’s global threats. In short, nothing too new to those already involved in the AI’s debate, just a common sense with a balanced view of AI as a transformative technology with significant risks and opportunities, emphasis on careful management and international cooperation to minimize unexpected problems. His examples of AI unexpected consequences for individuals and societies are very interesting, or his point of view on the right of AI for free speech. Good to know that despite the strong competence to develop a better product that your competitor, there are people yet who advocate for the existence of debate and a framework where AI becomes and asset and not a liability for humans.
