Reagan's AI Empire

In this episode, Rob & Ruairi examine the ways in which our dying Reaganite era may be skewing the trajectory of AI technology in unfortunate directions. We'll discuss how the principles of deregulation and free markets may be hindering efforts to regulate the development and use of AI. We'll also explore how the focus on individualism and wealth creation may be contributing to inequalities in access to AI and its benefits, and discuss how alternative economic frameworks could help ensure that AI technology is used for the benefit of all. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of AI and economics, and the ways in which our economic systems may be limiting our ability to fully realize the potential of this powerful technology, and may even be making some of the darker predictions about the technology more likely.
