“Mhmm. So you might say it'll catch up, but I think you could I think at minimum, you're talking about a significant period of dislocation.”
Marks argues AI innovation speed exceeds society's ability to adjust to changes.
“I think that the speed at which AI can innovate is faster than the speed at which society can adjust.”
