## Resource

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.
