The hosts break down Marc Andreessen’s op-ed “Why AI Will Save the World” and the tech billionaire’s optimistic, but potentially controversial, takes. They then parse through Sarah Silverman’s copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI and Meta and discuss the government’s role in regulating AI before turning to the ways artificial intelligence could revolutionize healthcare and potentially save lives. Finally, Ravi and Rikki explore Google’s new generative AI search tool and discuss whether it will change how we seek information.
