About this episode

Kerry Lutz and Dr. Steve Bonta discuss the intersection of geopolitics and artificial intelligence amidst global tensions and economic changes.

Kerry Lutz sits down with Dr. Steve Bonta to discuss the growing intersection of geopolitics, artificial intelligence, and economic change. They examine rising tensions with Iran, potential disruptions to global energy markets, and instability in Venezuela and Cuba. The conversation then shifts to AI's rapid evolution, comparing today's technology boom to the early days of the internet. Bonta explains how AI is already transforming industries ranging from law and government to medicine and scientific research, while also creating new challenges involving fraud, surveillance, and regulation. They also explore the infrastructure demands of AI, including the growing need for energy, water, and advanced computing power. While both see enormous potential for innovation and productivity, they caution that the technology's long-term impact will depend on how society manages its risks and opportunities.
