You know what's the worst could happen Stephen, but I mean apps follow you, track you right that? That happens, not real life.

I always tell people like everybody's so concerned about an AI waking up

and like how do you, we know that like one's not awake already?

Thank you. If Facebook's waked up, first thing Facebook's going to do in Facebook wakes up is reads

So I don't know. question. Yeah I mean we look

Stephen. Stephen Kotler author of Last Tango in cyberspace joining us here on chewing the fat. Stephen, we've already

allowed all of this into our lives. It's no question. I mean I don't know you know how much more scared we can get because we've

already allowed it in. I mean if we get scared okay but you're you we said it was okay

come in we want the convenience yeah and I'm not

scared I mean I think there's good I mean we are definitely looking at massive

levels of accelerated change right some of the stuff I'm trying to get at in last time on cyberspace is how quickly the world

is going to change over the next five years. But even with AI, right, the current cutting edge

of the research shows that the most fruitful collaborations are AI and human together.

So everybody's cared about AI is coming for our jobs, maybe, but the best we're being able to do

is AI and human together and that unlocks whole new creative possibilities.

I'm excited about those.

Yeah, look, we all want the convenience and we also want, we want to be able to see what the future

holds and the future is going to hold

humans and AI hopefully working together for a long time. I mean that's gonna happen.

When you write, you know know your last tango in in cyberspace your

latest book you know is you know based in the future at least presumably a few years ahead. How hard is it in today's world
