Eric Schmidt joined SRI’s David Parekh for a wide-ranging conversation about the implications of artificial intelligence for human society.
The real-world impacts of artificial intelligence are accelerating at an astonishing rate. What does the future look like if this acceleration continues? In this PARC Forum conversation, technologist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Eric Schmidt joined SRI CEO David Parekh for a discussion about our long-term future with AI.
Drawing partly from his book Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit, Schmidt shared insights about the critical role of AI in U.S. national security, the ethical and trust issues related to AI, and the essential role of humans in guiding AI innovation in the 21st century. Parekh and Schmidt also discussed the energy demands of AI, the potential impact of AI on biomedical innovation, and the contours of a world infused with AI agents.
