Do Your Own Research: AI Is Not A Bubble. The Reality Is Far Worse w/ Garrison Lovely

AI progress isn’t slowing down. The bubble doesn’t seem to be popping. And who in power actually cares about the environmental impacts anyway?

All that is to say: AI is here to stay. And what will be its fruits? Greater control of workers or even their brutal repression, some say.

So, is there a positive future for AI at all?

Garrison Lovely is the author of Obsolete: The AI Industry’s Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace You—and How to Stop It. And surprisingly, his answer is “yes”. He told Richard Hames about the dangers of AI, and how to get off the path to dystopia.

Do Your Own Research is a new show from Novara Media about the systems that make the modern world possible.
