Whether building human-in-the-loop systems or emergent scaling issues, AV companies like Waymore and Zoox are pioneering real-world solutions. What should the broader industry be learning from them?

Tech and policy reporter Tim Lee (Understanding AI, Ars Technica, Washington Post)) joins to discuss his and Greg’s shared appreciation for autonomous vehicles. Tim has covered AVs for years, and breaks down what a company like Waymo can show us about what’s ahead for AI at large.

As AI requires organizations to fundamentally rethink how their structures work, it enables savvy competitors to exploit new operating paradigms. And as these tools allow users to cross traditional work boundaries, the impacts of AI to knowledge work promise to be many.

How will new efficiencies change client demands, and how will firms and individuals structure their work? What should we do when the AI bubble bursts? Sangeet shares what he tells execs and heads of state, and discusses ideas from his book Reshuffle.

Cognitive offloading is the biggest bogeyman in AI right now. And with good reason - it took us 10 years to realize what social media had done to our brains, and by then it was too late.

New studies from MIT say ChatGPT power users have decreased brainwave activity – and are showing signs of dependence. So can we use AI without giving up our cognitive skills? How do we “borrow 30 points of IQ” from AI without losing our minds completely?

Greg speaks with Dr. Sahar Yousef, cognitive neuroscientist and lecturer at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, and one of the world’s leading experts on cognitive training and the science of productivity. Sahar shares what we can learn from the research, what's she's seeing in the lab, and how she's handling AI with her students. How can we use AI for our benefit, and what's on the line?
