Asking Good Questions with Edward Roske
I'm More Worried About Humans Than AI | Idoia Salazar
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Idoia is the President of OdiseIA, Spain's observatory on the social and ethical impact of AI, and she helped build Europe's first AI regulatory sandbox. She teaches and writes books on top of that. I asked her whether the urgent job of the decade is rewriting AI law. She said school. The skills that survive this wave are human ones, and we're not teaching them fast enough.
She is afraid of people. "We are going to become a society very easy to be manipulated. For me, this is one of the biggest risks of artificial intelligence." Later she put it flatter, and that line became the title of this episode. "I'm more worried about humans than the technology."
We spend a while on which science fiction movie actually got AI right, which turns into her explaining that the sci-fi you grew up on shapes how your whole culture feels about robots (she'd just come back from Keio University in Tokyo, where the stories people grew up on made robots the friendly ones). People are marrying chatbots now. She has a book coming in November about AI twins.
I also made her sit through my Clorox-and-Windex safety test. I ask every new model whether mixing them gets me the best of both. ChatGPT thinks it's funny. Claude gets offended, so these days I go back afterward and admit I was only testing it. (Just in case.)
I'm Edward Roske, and this is Asking Good Questions. New conversations with the people figuring out the human side of AI. If one of these questions stuck with you, subscribe and send it to someone who'd take the other side.
Idoia speaks at the Caribbean AI Summit this October in San Juan. Her whole Summit talk fits in one breath: do not be afraid, get ready. San Juan this October is a good place to start: CaribbeanSummit.AI
