Author: Ather Gattami June 4, 2024 Duration: 27:57

In our first ever live recording at Epicenter Stockholm, Ather and Mimi Billing open with Kai-fu Lee's prediction that AI will take 50% of jobs by 2027 and the market's projected growth to $184 billion by 2024. Despite major investments, the profitability of large language models (LLMs) remains uncertain. OpenAI's financial success is noted, but high development costs are a concern. Privacy issues with Microsoft's new AI hardware and Google's challenges with its AI overview feature are highlighted. Ethical concerns arise from Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit threat against OpenAI for voice theft. They also discuss recent AI reasoning research and the need for more efficient training methods.


Hosted by Ather Gattami, AI-podden has become a central voice in the Swedish conversation on artificial intelligence. This isn't a dry technical lecture; it's a series of grounded discussions that explore how these rapid technological shifts are reshaping our world in real time. Each episode brings in a different perspective, featuring guests from across the spectrum of society-from researchers and entrepreneurs to policymakers and cultural critics. You'll hear thoughtful analysis on the latest developments, but also practical conversations about ethics, societal impact, and the human stories behind the algorithms. Tuning into this podcast means getting a clearer, more nuanced picture of the forces defining our future, moving beyond the headlines to understand the true stakes and opportunities of AI. It’s that commitment to diverse, substantive dialogue that has made it one of the country's most popular listens in technology and news.
