Will AI achieve superintelligence—and, if so, when? 

 

While Media Confidential is on a short break, we’re bringing you the best of our sister podcast, the Prospect Podcast. 

 

In June, Prospect’s tech columnist Ethan Zuckerman joined Ellen and Alona to talk about billionaire tech bros, social media, and how to resist the ‘enshittification’ of the internet. He answers: is AI transforming our world for the worse? But he also explains how to seek out better, more wholesome corners of the internet, and why his students give him hope.
