Today we're sharing with you an episode of another show we like called Me, Myself, and AI.

It's a podcast produced by MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group, where hosts Sam and Shervin interview various folks from all sorts of industries and walks of life about the constantly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.

This episode is called "AI Hype and Skepticism", and features nobel-prize winning economist Paul Romer.

Here's a link directly to this episode on their website: https://sloanreview.mit.edu/audio/ai-hype-and-skepticism-economist-paul-romer/

Paul Romer once considered himself the most optimistic economist. He rightfully predicted that technology would blow up as an economic driver coming out of the inflation of the 1970s but acknowledges he did not foresee the inequality that technology advances would lead to.

On this episode, Paul shares his views on AI advances and their implications for society. Rather than pave the way for full automation, he is a proponent of keeping humans in the loop and believes that, rather than slowing down technology, it can be pointed in a direction for more meaningful and beneficial use, citing education as an area ripe to benefit from AI.

Me, Myself, and AI is a collaborative podcast from MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group and is hosted by Sam Ransbotham and Shervin Khodabandeh. Their engineer is David Lishansky, and the coordinating producers are Allison Ryder and Andy Goffin.
