“To the question I was asked about AI, I responded, “Look, there are a few steps. First, make the American political system rational and focused on actually solving real problems. Second, channel our collective resources to get the boot off of people’s throats and move us toward a mindset of abundance not scarcity. Our economy’s now $25 trillion, or $75k a head, which is enough to address extreme poverty, and AI could make abundance real. Last, move the economy beyond capital efficiency – where we will have more and more trouble competing - toward things like caring for others, or arts and creativity. In other words, make the economy work for us and measure it accordingly. Our problem now is that our economy is growing but most people are not thriving in terms of wellbeing or ability to be excited about their future.”
