This is it. The world, as you know, it is over. Completely done. It's not about to be over. It's over.

Some of the scientists who helped build AI are now sounding the alarm.

I was selling AI as a great thing for decades, and I was wrong. I was wrong. There is a longer term existential threat

that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves. We have

no idea whether we can stay in control. While others say that AI will usher in unfathomable abundance,

I've always believed that it's going to be

the most important invention that humanity will ever make.

This really will be a world of abundance.

And among these fears and these fantasies,

we seek the story of our future.

I'm thrilled today's guest, Rahm Emanuel. I'm going to read, he's former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, former mayor Chicago, former White House Chiefs of Staff, former Congressman. You've got a lot of former's in your life, my friend. You have done a lot. You had a very, very full plate. Welcome to the show. Welcome back. Yeah, you could almost argue, you could argue that my middle name is former.

How you've been feeling lately?

Oh, very good.

Real good.

I mean, I feel guilty saying that because families, healthy, everybody's healthy, and then you look at the world, you feel guilty saying it. But I'm good. You? I'm good. Thank you for asking. Speaking of the world, I was reading some of your comments last night about Trump's State of the Union and how the Democrats just don't know how to play the game.

They don't play the world. I was reading some of your comments last night about Trump's state of the union and how the Democrats just don't know how to play the game. They don't play the game well.

Well, look, I mean, I think in this situation, you had a bunch of the Trump staff and

advisors saying, well, we got what we want. And we have our video clips. That's not how I would have done a state of the union, but put that aside. It usually is to speak to the country about where we are and where we're going. They saw this as purely a political act, and I'm not against politics. But if that's what you wanted to do, the President of the United States gave us a lot of material. Him sitting there telling the American people, you don't get it.
