Jaron Lanier draws parallels between AI and social media

Original: Jaron Lanier on parallels between AI and social media

Computer scientist and VR pioneer Jaron Lanier is discussing the parallels between today's AI boom and the earlier rise of social media. Lanier, a longtime critic of how social platforms reshaped society, argues that lessons from that era apply to how artificial intelligence is being developed and deployed, warning against repeating past mistakes.

Why now: AI's rapid growth is prompting renewed attention to Lanier's warnings about technology's societal harms.
