Listen Later

This conversation explores the progression of AI from its early, narrow applications to the more advanced and integrated multimodal systems we see today. We discuss the potential risks associated with AI, such as job displacement, privacy concerns, and the amplification of biases. Guy emphasizes the ethical considerations that must be addressed to ensure AI is developed and used responsibly.

Additionally, we touch on the intriguing intersection of AI with prophecy and global power dynamics, suggesting that AI could play a pivotal role in shaping future geopolitical landscapes. Throughout the discussion, Guy underscores the critical need for robust AI regulation and the importance of fostering a culture of ethical AI development to mitigate potential risks and maximize the benefits of this transformative technology.

More about Guy:

Guy has multiple degrees in economics, finance, computer science and an MBA. He’s earned a reputation as a thought-leader and innovator even before graduation when he developed a macro-economic model the out performed the Federal Reserve, and changed how we develop economic models to this day. 

Guy retired from a 38-year Fortune 500 leadership career in global energy, high-tech and software for companies such as Oxy Petroleum, IBM, Burroughs, Oracle, Microsoft and start-ups. Over the decades, Guy was involved in implementing nearly every major leading edge technology innovation into the enterprise, including early-stage artificial intelligence.

Guy’s expertise in AI began after he discovered a program had escaped the NSA spy labs at Sandia. When he determined how a spy program could escape NSA and why they designed it that way, they sent two FBI agents to his door. His research into the topic goes back more than a decade with an emphasis on how these emerging technologies will affect society, economics, science, weapon systems and people.

Topics discussed: 

  • The history and evolution of artificial intelligence (AI).
  • The implications of AI on human behavior and ethical considerations.
  • Different types of AI, including narrow AI, integrated AI, and generative AI.
