Will AI truly transform the way we work, play, live? Will it outgrow humans and bring destruction, as Elon Musk claims? Or are people in the tech industry just creating a bubble to sell their product?

Instead of paying attention to the possibilities of current regulation, we focus on the visions of the future that are being put forward. In a conversation with journalist Matouš Hrdina, Marx highlights the social impacts of the so-called "AI revolution" and the threats AI poses to workers around the world.
