Ensuring the hammer of AI is a tool that builds, not a hammer that demolishes. w/ Dr Matt Agnew

Here’s Osher’s three favourite facts about Dr Matt Agnew:

1. He’s not that kind of doctor.
2. He’s lovely.
3. He has a PhD in Astrophysics.

Matt has been busy, heading back to uni to study AI - and on the back of that he’s written a new book “IS MY PHONE READING MY MIND?”

What he has to say today about AI, about the powerfully transformative effect it is already having on education, and democracy - in both positive and negative ways - might just chill you to the bone and give you goosebumps at the same time.

This was recorded a week out from the 2024 US election, so please understand why I’m Osher isn’t commenting on something which is now glaringly obvious to us as a community.

He’s in the past.

It’s simple time travel.

And there’s no better person to speak to about that than Dr Matt Agnew.
