About

AI will save us from everything! AI will fix all of our problems! AI is a revolution!

The excitement around AI is everywhere these days. Since ChatGPT launched in 2022, we have seen leaders, pundits, politicians, investors and journalists trip over each other in order to declare that the AI revolution is just around the corner. But... is it really?

In this tour de force talk, I go through all of those things you won't really hear in the public debate about AI. Over the course of 90 minutes, you get answers to questions like:

  • What is AI?
  • Is it a friend of the planet?
  • Is it a friend of the economy?
  • Is it a friend of democracy?
  • Is it a friend of humanity?
  • And if it's not our friend, then what is it?
