In this week's discussion, we delve into the future of artificial intelligence (AI), likening its control to handling an owl egg, a process as delicate as it is transformative. We draw parallels between AI and past groundbreaking inventions like the printing press and the internet, exploring how AI has the potential to decentralize information and shift power structures in a way not seen since the days of Gutenberg. Our conversation also navigates the landscape shaped by tech magnates such as Bill Gates and Elon Musk. We examine their roles in molding the digital world, the inherent biases that exist within these structures, and the power struggles that occur as these tech giants battle for influence. Shifting gears, we explore the possibilities of a decentralized internet, one that moves away from behemoth websites such as Amazon. Imagine an AI-assisted search engine helping customers find products from a range of diverse sellers, thus bypassing Amazon entirely. This raises pertinent questions about what the future holds for authors and other individuals who heavily rely on Amazon for income.
