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? Journalist Paris Marx warns that the grand narratives of revolutionary changes distract us from critically examining the real impact of AI on our lives. 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.
