Generative AI is digitizing skillsets, making them programmable and upgradeable. As a result, a new class of Generalists will dominate the era of generative AI. As expertise and experience are no longer needed to perform with proficiency in new fields, those with a breadth of experience and passionate curiosity will rise to the top. With AI, individual creators can become armies of one. This will flip the corporate world on its head and is already disrupting training and education. Socratic learning with ChatGPT and performing surgery in VR are just the beginning. The combination of AI and Extended reality will bring about the return of the apprenticeship, where our teachers are machines. Even our relationships will change. In a time where our behaviors are guided by algorithms, and humans become more machine-like, machines are becoming more human. AI companions provoke emotions and elicit feelings of romance, while children are less concerned with whether their friends are real or synthetic. This isn't the future. This is happening today. We’ll explore what these trends mean now and for the decades to come. About SXSW: SXSW dedicates itself to helping creative people achieve their goals.

Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th, 2023 with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. We encourage viewers to consider calling their political representatives to advocate for holding hearings on AI risk and creating adequate guardrails.
