There's no shortage of tech podcasts, but few give you a true dose of the future.

The A16Z podcast is an exception.

It takes you straight to the innovators behind new materials, data centers, self-driving cars,

even electric boats, eavesdrop on the future with the A16Z podcast.

HBR presents.

Welcome to the exponential view podcast where multidisciplinary conversations about the near future happen every week.

Now as an entrepreneur investor and analyst, I've been an insider in the technology industry for over 20 years.

During that time, I've observed that exponentially developing technologies are changing the face of our economies.

Business models and culture in unexpected ways.

Now I return to this question every week in my newsletter exponential view in this podcast as well as in my recent book, the exponential age.

So in today's edition, I wanted to look back and forward on one of the key technologies of the exponential age, artificial intelligence.

We're about a decade into the current industrial boom in AI, and I thought it was time to take a scorecard.

Look at what we've achieved and how and perhaps what we didn't, and which milestones have surprised us.

To help me, I called on a great expert, Murray Shanahan, a senior research scientist at London's Deep Mind,

as well as a professor of cognitive robotics at Imperial College in London.

Murray works on machine learning, consciousness, and the impact of artificial intelligence.

Here and I have known each other for a few years, and to have indeed done a podcast together previously,

we appeared as guests on a show hosted by a technology investor.

So my challenge to Murray today was not simply to assess the last 10 years of development, but to look forward to the next 10.

It's a bold challenge, and we did our best to look forward as well as back.

Murray Shanahan, welcome to exponential view.

It's very nice to be here. Thank you, and thank you for the very flattering words.
