How I Built This with Guy Raz – The peril (and promise) of AI with Tristan Harris: Part 1

When Tristan Harris co-founded the Center for Humane Technology in 2018, he was trying to educate tech leaders and policymakers about the harms of social media.

On Feb 2024 he’s sounding the alarm about a different technology — one that he says could pose an existential threat to the entire world … Artificial intelligence.

On this episode of How I Built This Lab: the first of a two-episode series, Tristan and Guy examine the serious risks posed by the rapid development and deployment of AI — and what we can do to make sure this powerful technology is used for good.
