Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Change is incredibly slow and exponentially fast - venture capitalist Roger Spitz
Q: What are some things that have bubbled up in the last few months that we should be paying attention to?
There's a focus on technology and AI noise rather than understanding deeper implications like decision-making and agency.
Planetary boundaries: what we can’t account for - climate finance leader David Carlin
Q: How do you guide organizations or corporations or individuals to think about anticipating those impacts of climate change that are non-linear, non-obvious, and potentially lacking in data?
It's crucial to understand that we don't have perfect information about the future, and the unpredictability is often due to our behaviors and uncertainties about consumer preferences.
Planetary boundaries: what we can’t account for - climate finance leader David Carlin
Q: What do you think is one of the biggest drivers of this greater focus on climate finances and looking at new areas of investment?
There are two sides to the coin, the transition itself and the physical effects we're seeing, which include unprecedented flooding and more severe weather events.
LIVE from SXSW: Staying human in the age of AI
Q: Is AI making us better or worse at communicating?
AI can enhance communication if used as a tool to improve ideas; however, it can deteriorate our direct communication skills if relied upon too heavily.
LIVE from SXSW: Staying human in the age of AI
Q: What does it mean to stay human in the age of AI?
Staying human in the age of AI means prioritizing authentic connections and communication and using AI as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for creative thought.
