The tables have turned! I had the pleasure of joining Ben Byford for the second time on his Machine Ethics Podcast, after a four-year gap, discussing why the AI bubble is far worse than we thought and how it has become a financial nightmare.
Ben is a good friend of our show here at The CEO Retort and a previous guest who discussed digital ethics and ethical AI, without the hyperbolic doom-and-gloom fantasy.
As part of our collaboration, I’m the guest this time, and Ben and I discuss podcasting, the history of OpenAI, London startups, AI use cases, and whether GenAI is even safe.
But the key topic of our discussion is the AI bubble, snake oil salesmen, and whether we need all these data centres.
Above all, we are exploring the financial implications post the AI bubble explosion.
As ethicists, we also discuss the practical implications of replacing human workers, the danger of data oligarchies, the erosion of trust in AI, AI psychosis and more.
Join the conversation and let us know what you think about the AI bubble.
