About this episode

Dominic Frisby interviews Liv Boeree about the implications of AI on society, decision-making, and the parallels between poker and life.

In this next episode of Money, Markets and More, I sit down with Liv Boeree to discuss AI, risk, poker, game theory, incentives, state power and better decision-making. I thought this was a terrific interview and I hope you enjoy it. You can either watch the video above, or listen to the interview as a podcast in the normal way. Liv argues that, while AI could bring huge breakthroughs in health, drug discovery, efficiency and human flourishing, thi same technology can also be used to cause serious harm. We discuss regulation, bad incentives inside AI companies, state surveillance, privacy, human atrophy, automation versus augmentation, and why Liv believes poker is a better model for life than chess: imperfect information, luck, risk, emotion and long-term decision-making.
