I’m a HUGE fan of Peter Walker of Insights and Chief Storyteller at Carta. I love how he brings data to bear ... to make sense of the world of VC, startups and of course AI hype! I am interviewing him for Pioneers of AI! What questions should I ask him?

I’ve spent 25+ years building AI that tries to understand us … our facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice. So it was a real treat to sit down with Aza Raskin, the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and the Earth Species Project, where he’s applying AI to decode animal communication. It is indeed the next frontier. Aza is known both for his groundbreaking innovations and his deep reflection on their impact. He invented the infinite scroll, which transformed how we engage with digital content, and has since become one of its most vocal critics. In this Pioneers of AI episode, recorded at the Masters of Scale Summit, we dive into what it really means to build AI responsibly, especially when our creations can outpace our intentions. Aza reminds us that many “unintended consequences” are actually unconsidered ones. As he puts it: “We need to update our beliefs about the power of what we do so there’s a right relationship between our power and our responsibility.” His reflections are both sobering and inspiring. Rather than debating if AI is good or bad, he pushes us to ask: are the incentives behind it aligned with what’s good for society? What do YOU think? 🎧 Tune in to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eKvNerdK #PioneersofAI #AIethics #HumanCenteredAI #ResponsibleTech
