3 possible futures for AI — which will we choose? | Alvin W. Graylin, Manoush Zomorodi

The future of AI is at a critical juncture, potentially leading to vast inequality, global conflict, or shared progress. Alvin W. Graylin, a veteran of the tech industry, discusses these possible paths with Manoush Zomorodi. Graylin argues that the current AI race, driven by the pursuit of trillions of dollars, mirrors the military-industrial complex by creating an enemy to justify funding and deregulation. He proposes an alternative: a global, collaborative AI lab akin to CERN, sharing data and discoveries for the benefit of all humanity. To mitigate potential job displacement, Graylin advocates for a "GI Bill for the AI age," providing education, loans, and medical care to those affected, drawing parallels to the post-World War II economic boom in the United States.
