Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth and prosperity. There is great excitement- but also concerns- about the impacts of AI on science, but so far little data. We provide early insights on this from three data sources: a sample of 15 million Gemini interactions, an inventory of over 2,600 specialized AI models across disciplines, and a survey of over 600 scientists.

Event Details

Tim Hwang is a writer and AI policy researcher at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

His book Subprime Attention Crisis poses the bold — and terrifying — possibility that the ad economy, the bedrock of the modern Internet, might be a bubble ready to burst. To build this argument Hwang explores the declining effectiveness and opacity in the digital ad market, then poses recommendations for taking the whole thing down.

Event moderated by Jasmine Sun (Stanford Sociology) and Ben Wolfson (National Cancer Institute).

This event series is hosted and managed by Reboot, which is an event series and newsletter that convenes book-lovers, writers, and technologists to imagine the future of tech, humanity, and power.
