Summary

Mustafa Suleyman went from growing up next to a prison to founding the world's leading AI company. Dropping out of Oxford to start a philanthropic endeavour because he thought it would be of more real-world value than a degree, he went on to co-found DeepMind, which has since been acquired by Google and is leading their AI effort. In 2016, DeepMind gained worldwide fame for programming the first AI program to defeat the world champion of Go, considered the most complicated game in the world and with infinitely more variables than chess. There is no better authority on the progress of AI and what it means for all of us. His new book, 'The Coming Wave,' is out on September 5th. In this conversation Mustafa and Steven discuss topics, such as: Emotional Responses to AI Surprises of the Past Decade Concerns and Fears The Containment Challenge AI's Physical Manifestations Regulating AI The Future of AI Containment AI-Human Interactions Quantum Computing and AI Cybersecurity Challenges Founding an AI Company Government's Role in Regulation Containing AI: Strategies and Approaches Emotional Impact of AI The Shift Towards AI Interactions Guidance for Young Innovators Success and Failure Scenarios Continuation of the Conversation You can purchase Mustafa’s book, ‘The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-First Century's Greatest Dilemma’, here: https://bit.ly/3P5kbuS Follow Mustafa: Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PnoHpT Twitter: https://bit.ly/45FZ0qr Watch the episodes on Youtube - https://g2ul0.app.link/3kxINCANKsb My new book!
