Nate’s Notes 179: Living In a Digital Village Monitored by AI | Sandra Matz, Columbia Business School Professor

Thanks for listening to this episode of Meikles & Dimes with Sandra Matz. What an interesting metaphor Sandra shared, that we now live in a digital village, where AI can learn so much more about us than we realize. And naturally, this ability can be used to influence us for good or bad.

In summary, pay attention to AI progress. Look for ways it can help us. But also, be on the lookout for ways it can harm us. It’s a simple idea. Please take it seriously.
