Technological advances do not automatically lead to more prosperity—that requires societal choices to be made, too… and nowhere more so than with AI, explains Nobel laureate Simon @baselinescene Johnson to @behscientist’s Evan Nesterak: https://t.co/dnYT9C8fIu

[Behavioral Scientist @behscientist]

We speak with Nobel Prize winner Simon Johnson about the relationship between technological progress and prosperity, including how societies have made these choices in the past and what our decisions about the current wave of AI could mean for our future.

"If cynicism were a pill, its warning label would list depression, heart disease, & isolation... It’d be a poison. So why do so many of us swallow it? One reason...many people think cynicism comes w/ another, more positive side effect: intelligence."

"Civic motivations can be shaky. But they don’t have to be. With a little foresight and a tool like the Civic Action Time Capsule, we can preserve them for the moments that matter. We encourage you to add your reflections to the capsule."

Raising a child is a series of daily decisions that together constitute “parenting.” Parents generally know what decisions they ought to make, but some chronically make decisions that are out of step with this.
This is both good and bad news:
