“Generative AI absolutely deserves the categorization as a general purpose technology because it can do so much, it’s getting better very quickly, and it's already diffusing super widely,” says Andrew McAfee, a Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management, Co-Director of MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, and Google’s inaugural Tech and Society visiting fellow. “Those are the things that economists look at to say, ‘this technology is going to be a big deal, not just for big tech companies…but across economies and societies.’” We were thrilled to welcome Andrew for our second episode of Dialogues Dispatch in conversation with Google’s Kent Walker for a deep-dive into generative AI’s impact on the economy, productivity, and the future of work.

“AI is a way to augment clinical and human decision-making — not to replace that,” says CVS Health EVP and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sreekanth Chaguturu. “That human touch is really important. At Oak Street Health, we're using generative AI to help with case summarization and history taking, which allows our clinical teams to be present in conversations with patients.” Dr. Sree Chaguturu sat down with Google Chief Health Officer Dr. Karen DeSalvo to discuss the role safe and responsible AI can play in driving better health outcomes for patients and providers alike.

"This combination of scientific innovation, new forms of creativity, new tools, and new applications, I think, opens up a great new era for us. And at the same time, we have to make sure that we're doing in a way that builds trust, that we spread the economic and the social benefits widely, so that everybody feels bought in to this new generation of scientific progress." Kent Walker sat down with Miriam Vogel of EqualAI to discuss AI opportunities and what to expect from Google when it comes to working with policymakers on AI in 2024.
