In this episode, Corey speaks with William (Bill) Welser IV, CEO of Lotic AI, about the importance of data privacy in the age of technology. They discuss the concept of Lotic as an 'anti-tech' company that prioritizes user agency and understanding over profit. The conversation delves into the implications of AI on mental health, the need for individuals to take control of their data, and the potential dangers of relying too heavily on technology for cognitive tasks. Bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining friction in society to foster growth and creativity, while also advocating for transparency in how AI systems operate and use personal data.
