On the podcast today, Open AI is hiring a Clinton crisis veteran to rebuild AI's public image.

0:07.8

We want to talk about what that means, why I think we have this bad public image and what we

0:12.1

can do about it, what the truth to it is and what some of the overblown areas of it are.

0:18.2

Trump is also canceling the AI testing executive order. A bunch of

0:22.1

CEOs declined to come to an Oval Office event. There's a bunch of drama there, but this is

0:26.0

something we were reporting on that he delayed it. Now it feels like it's actually canceled.

0:30.5

SpaceX is saying that there is a $26.5 trillion AI market, and this is all happening as GROC is falling behind Open AI and

0:38.7

Anthropic in usage. Google is now shifting their AI science strategy, moving it more towards

0:44.7

agentic research systems. We'll talk about what that means for science, and the literary world

0:51.3

has been pretty much unprepared for AI-generated fiction. There was a huge

1:19.9

he does is he leads their global affairs and their communications. Right now, the company is

1:25.4

fighting with a whole bunch of different organizations and there's

1:29.7

lawsuits there's a lot going on especially in the fact that they're they're kind of fighting with this

1:33.8

negative public sentiment towards AI I think it's something like 60% or 70% of people have a negative

1:38.7

view of AI when they pull the general public so lee, his goal right now is to basically rebuild trust.

1:45.0

He also has to lobby the states to pass AI laws that aren't going to constrain opening eyes growth.

1:50.0

And this is a balancing act that is pretty complicated for opening eye, but honestly, for anyone.

1:56.0

And he has a lot of work on messaging and, you know, he's got to talk about job loss and AI safety.
