Marcus Weldon (13th President of Bell Labs, ex-Nokia) talks to Mike Carden about the impact of generative AI, the opportunities and challenges of LLM, how AI will augment human productivity, not replace it - and the potential of AI to lead to a more equitable world.
“Generative AI is not a portent of doom, it’s the portent of equality and equanimity that the world has been waiting for.”
