Artificial intelligence is giving Daniel Barcay a sense of DeJa'Vu. He's the executive director of the Center for Humane Technology, and co-host of the podcast Your Undivided Attention. When social media first hit the internet so many people talked about it revolutionizing how we connect. What could possibly go wrong? Social media produced the most anxious and depressed generation we've ever seen. Barcay says we have to do better with AI and now is the moment as design choices being made today will shape AI for generations to come. He says AI is our chance to step back and prove we can use technology with wisdom.
