And if the world has a big, big awareness problem here, then a downstream consequence of that is we’re focusing on all these other things. And, you know, because when you say illicit trade there’s certain things that people have been focusing on for a long time, this is a new thing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not the most important thing.
IDB Lab – Strategy, Knowledge, and Impact Division Chief (Chief Strategy Officer)
I thought one or two years ago if something would stop the show, this was in the top three of the list of things that would. But I think my potential skepticism here Chief Executive Officer for AI product job has been not completely refuted, but I think reasonably well refuted. And then you kind of learn something from this. But AIs have not been making use of that kind of cognition at all until recently. So far, that’s mostly applied to tasks like math and computer programming. But my view, without being too specific, is that it’s not going to be terribly difficult to extend that kind of thinking to a much wider range of tasks.
CFO – Chief Financial Officer – Home Healthcare
I think it could be a threat to kind of all of humanity. And, like, issues of nuclear safety or nuclear proliferation, there’s probably some opportunity to take limited measures to help address that risk. So I’m relatively optimistic that maybe something narrow could be done. The stronger the evidence is of that coming—you know, right now that’s a kind of speculative thing.

- So we spend a bunch of energy, and then the AI—the AI systems, you know, it kind of—you know, it turns—we end up better than we started if we’re able to solve it.
- It may be another moment, like, you know, the moment we realize that the Earth rotates around the Sun, instead of the Sun rotating around the Earth.
- The other thing I would say is my life got transformed by getting access to computers and technology and gaining the power of products like Google in my hands.
Like, I feel like there’s something wrong embedded in that assumption. programmer And I say that as someone who spends a lot of time trying to be the best in the world, you know, at something I think is really important. But somehow we’re—our source of meaning is going to have to be something other than that. And I think this still sounds crazy to many people but, you know, look back on previous exponential trends.
Breaking Down the CAIO Role
In the long term, he believes it will allow him to play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI and its impact on businesses and society. A CAIO may have full budget authority for internal AI investments and external partnerships, Reeves explains. Some will state that they go by the CEO/CFO-set budget, and still seek sign-off at the board level. Typically reporting to the CAIO are data scientists and engineers, ML engineers, AI product leads, and software engineers focused on leveraging AI algorithms.
