Will AI Doom Us or Save Us?

In recent months, fears around artificial intelligence have heightened. AI tools have reached a stage where existential threats no longer seem like a movie. AI has also exacerbated the literacy crisis in schools and universities. Join Yascha Mounk and Dan Williams for this live recording of The Good Fight podcast as they discuss how AI will impact society, what the effect on learning will be, and how we can find truth in a world full of disinformation. Yascha Mounk is Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University, as well as the founder and editor-in-chief of Persuasion. His book The Dispensable Human - Artifical Intelligence and the Collapse of the Middle Class will be out next year. Dan Williams is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sussex. He writes the Conspicuous Cognition newsletter, which brings together philosophical insights and scientific research to examine the forces shaping contemporary society and politics.
