It’s easy to assume that we all have kindness and care in our daily lives. But not everyone has a family member or friend to lean on during hard times. What if there was a technology that provides easy access to support and consideration? In the first episode of our miniseries about AI and the personal, Reid and Aria are joined by artificial intelligence researcher and founder Mustafa Suleyman. Mustafa co-founded and served as former head of applied AI at DeepMind. His current venture is Inflection—and his co-founder is Reid. Mustafa discusses AI in the context of other technological advancements throughout history and shares the philosophies that guide his work and life. He also talks about Inflection, and the various ways personal AI can enhance our day-to-day lives. Pi, an AI developed by Inflection, also joins the conversation.Read the transcript of this episode here.Read the exchange between Reid and Pi here.Try Inflection's Pi at https://heypi.com/ You can pre-order Mustafa's book, The Coming Wave, here.For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all of the episodes, visit www.possible.fm/podcast.                                               Topics:5:47 - Hellos and intros8:04 - Mustafa’s work at DeepMind11:04 - Philosophies and context that guide Mustafa’s work13:52 - Mustafa’s book—and books as a type of technology 21:02 - Comparing AI and nuclear technology 24:26 - The downsides and upsides of AI27:23 - What is Pi?31:08 - A conversation with Pi35:24 - Uses of Pi37:07 - The future of personal artificial intelligence41:36 - Rapidfire questions46:57 - Debrief with Reid and AriaPossible is a podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there.
