Episode Details

What if a single short film could shift public will on AI before it's too late? In this condensed version (original ~60 minutes, now ~15 minutes), host Liron Shapira speaks with Tristan Harris and producer Ted Tremper about The AI Doc — a cinematic attempt to translate AI risk, ethics, and alignment into a human story. Listen to learn why general-purpose AI feels different from social media’s engagement-maximizing harms, how the “intelligence curse” could concentrate power and disempower workers, and which policy levers (verifiable off‑switches, supply‑chain choke points, independent verification) could create pause and accountability. Tristan and Ted connect technical realities to everyday concerns — jobs, children, truth — and offer civic strategies to build oversight, regulation, and lifelong learning. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
