One of the strengths of AI is that it can de-bias decisions....Because you can open the box and see what the algorithm driving the AI is doing. The algorithm is basically a recipe.” That recipe can be changed. The AI can, if found to contain biases, be “sanitised”. It can be trained to pay attention to only what matters and ignore what does not.

whether it’s AlphaGo or ChatGPT or any other AI system, if it’s really good at something, it’s really good at only that thing. We’re still far from artificial general intelligence.

The point is, not to ignore AI or see it as a rival or enemy, but partner with it… When synthesisers were invented, it’s not like musicians went away. They found ways to express their creativity through interacting with synthesisers.”

So AI has normalised narcissism to the point that we’re not even aware of it, just as a fish doesn’t know what water is.

We must also rediscover serendipity, so much of which has been lost in the digital age, where algorithms guide us to the content they know we like. We can do this by injecting unpredictability into our consumption habits, ...by making choices that AI cannot predict. So, for instance, watch something that Netflix would never recommend to you, or listen to something Spotify doesn’t think you like, or consume news outside your filter bubble.
