Artificial Intelligence & The Future of Work: A Conversation with Tobias Jensen

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Tobias Jensen, an expert in blockchain, AI, and other emerging technologies, for an episode of my podcast, Lessons From Leaders. Our wide-ranging conversation explored the potential impacts, both positive and negative, of technologies like large language models and chatGPT.While AI promises to augment human capabilities and transform entire industries, we also discussed crucial concerns around the concentration of power in big tech companies and the need for thoughtful regulation. Tobias drew insightful historical parallels to phenomena like the Microsoft monopoly and the Dutch tulip bubble.Some highlights of our discussion: * The capabilities of AI versus uniquely human skills like fuzzy logic. While AI has speed advantages, human intelligence still excels at certain tasks. * The rise of deep fakes and how blockchain could help verify authenticity by tying videos to a person's unique identifier. * The intersection of tech and philosophy. Understanding the incentives and values encoded in algorithms is crucial. I invite you to listen to the full conversation, where we dive deeper into these important topics. As AI and other technologies continue advancing rapidly, podcast episodes like this one help us appreciate nuances, ask tough questions, and thoughtfully shape the future. And now I give you, Tobias Jensen.
