    Why Doing the “Right Thing” Can Make Everything Worse (#316)

    What can we do when doing the morally “right” thing produces worse outcomes? And what if some of society’s strongest moral instincts are preventing us from solving problems we all agree are terrible? Alvin Roth is a Stanford professor and Nobel Prize-winning economist whose work has helped redesign real-world systems, including kidney exchanges and the way doctors are matched with hospitals. His new book, Moral Economics, tackles a harder category of problems: markets and behaviors we find morally objectionable, even when banning them may create consequences we don’t want. He discusses: Why nearly 100,000 Americans can be waiting for a kidney What prohibitions of alcohol and heroin can teach us What happened when Rhode Island accidentally legalized indoor prostitutionWhether paying kidney donors could save lives without creating an ethically unacceptable marketWhy evidence becomes especially important when reasonable people disagree about moralityWhether performance-enhancing drugs could eventually become as ordinary as coffeeSome policies sound obviously right when judged by their intentions. But what happens when you judge them by their actual consequences? Roth pushes into the uncomfortable territory between those two questions: when banning something creates a black market, when changing a rule may save more lives than inventing a new technology, and what we should do when the outcome we believe is morally necessary turns out to be something we cannot actually achieve.

    The Hidden Weakness in America's AI Lead (#315)

    Could America build the world’s best AI and still lose the AI race? What if the biggest threat to America’s lead isn’t China’s technology, but our own fear of using it? Katrina Mulligan is Head of National Security Partnerships at OpenAI and previously served in senior roles at the Department of Defense, National Security Council, and Department of Justice. Few people have seen both Washington and frontier AI development from the inside. She argues that AI is no longer a technology question for the future. It is becoming core infrastructure for economic strength, national security, and the way we work. She discusses: ●  Why America could win the race to AGI but lose on adoption ●  Why trust in AI is dramatically higher in China and the developing world ●  How China and the U.S. are taking fundamentally different approaches to AI ●  Why AI may ultimately transform society as profoundly as electricity ●  The biggest mistake leaders make when trying to adopt AI ●  Why AI transformation cannot simply be delegated to the IT department ●  How she has used AI to become at least 30% more effective at her own job ●  Why using AI like a search engine means dramatically underestimating what it can do America may currently have the advantage in building the most advanced AI. Katrina explains in today's 3 Takeaways™ conversation why that lead is far from guaranteed, how fear could become a strategic disadvantage, and why the countries and organizations that learn to redesign themselves around AI may ultimately have the most to gain.
