Philosopher Carissa Véliz discusses the future of AI in a podcast interview. She notes that people are obsessed with predicting the future due to anxiety, but the path of AI development is not inevitable. Véliz emphasizes that the important question is "What kind of society do I want to live in? And what am I gonna do to bring it about?", advocating for actively shaping the social impact of AI rather than passively accepting it.
