The first 23 minutes of this video are extraordinary. Totally riveting and very much an effective capstone to many of the themes covered last class, especially by (unknowingly since the discussion happened in Cambridge Mass. a month ago) connecting A.I., the New Zealand racist murders, and the core issue of “To Regulate or Not to Regulate”.
There is a lot here that may (perhaps even should) frighten you. What scared me the most actually was Professor Lessig’s admission of fear (at 1:34 & following) and feeling of being lost in the face of the scope of the problem (at 3:37 & following). If he is deeply concerned, that is particularly troubling if you know even a little bit about his academic history and accomplishments (https://youtu.be/ye3KiAe-2-o).
