“It definitely feels urgent to have these conversations to constrain the way that we use AI, because the slower you are the more people that are harmed in the process. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that [AI decisions] are entirely irreversible if we wait too long.” [10:26]

“You can have a human listen to a conversation, you can have them infer what was happening, all of that… In the future, you’ll be able to have the equivalent of a much cheaper human do it, which would be the machine. And the cost of that will drastically reduce, and that will mean that we’ll have to come up with new laws and rules and ways of operating in society to deal with that.” [16:01]

“Executive AI fluency is the linchpin of why money is being wasted . . . . Without that grounding, we’re going to pick bad vendors. We’re going to get sold on value propositions that nobody can deliver on. We’re going to drastically underestimate the kind of teams and data infrastructure needs we’re going to have, and we’re going to blow money where it shouldn’t go.” (13:01)

“. . . for AI, we need to have more comprehensive governance that includes everything from ethics to explainability to accountability to bringing together all of the operational side of a model. Is it working properly? Is it being retrained continuously? Is it getting better? Does it need to be retired? But also, wedding that to some of these broader customer-relevant and employee-relevant issues.” [15:17]
“ . . . what AI is trying to do using probability is creating new conundrums that the business isn’t used to dealing with. And people aren’t very good at probabilistic thinking in the first place. So I think unfortunately, it’s one of these cases where you’ve got to bring everyone together to do this internally. My colleague Michele Goetz and I did a whole bunch of interviews around this. And we found that even some really large, sophisticated technology companies haven’t mastered every dimension of AI governance.” [16:09]

“Most adults don’t know how machine learning works, how the face recognition on the phone works, what’s behind all of this. And that’s the idea – kind of unpacking this black box of AI technologies because it’s everywhere.
“When you don’t know something, it can be very scary. You don’t know what the implications are and so you tend to sort of shut it down even more, and you’re resistant to any kind of re-skilling, up-skilling, which will have to happen no matter what.” [3:44]

“I definitely think we need a public conversation about what our expectations are for AI. So it’s not just ‘I want more accurate AI.’ It’s do we want AI doing particular things? We need to bring together, I would say, people from different walks of life.
“So you’ve got your scientists that we all think about, but also your ethicists and your business leaders, your citizens, your policymakers, and have more of a joint dialogue about what we want from AI systems. They are different than software we’ve had in the past because of the reach and the power that they really have the ability to amplify the best and the worst of what we can do.” [20:40]
