AI Is Dumber Than Investors Think — ft. Gary Marcus
6/26/202659 min
Ed Elson is joined by Gary Marcus to discuss why he’s concerned about the fact that we’re all-in on AI. They explore why he argues generative AI is inherently unreliable, whether the concerns surrounding Anthropic's Mythos model are justified, how policymakers should approach AI regulation, and the biggest misconception about the technology that he believes needs to be corrected.
Gary Marcus is a leading voice in artificial intelligence, author, and professor at NYU Stern.

Running a business takes everything you've got, and a lot of the tools out there that are supposed to make your life easier just aren't great at talking to each other. And that means you end up having to toggle between a dozen different apps and services just to keep the lights on. Enough of that. Now there is Odoo, the all-in-one fully integrated platform that might actually help you get it all done. Thousands of businesses have made the switch, so why not you? Try Odoo for free at odoo.com.

[gentle music] Support for the show comes from Plaud. If you're an executive, small business owner, project manager, journalist, or anyone responsible for important decisions, details matter. Conversations move fast, and it's easy for key contacts, follow-ups, and action items to slip through the cracks once the meeting ends. Plaud is an AI-powered note-taking system built around dedicated recording hardware. It captures conversations, transcribes them, and turns them into searchable transcripts, summaries, and action items so you can focus on the discussion instead of worrying about capturing every detail yourself. Visit plaud.ai/markets to learn more and use the markets code to get up to fifteen percent off.
