Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q Do you believe then that AI will be a competitor or a complement to the doctor? And do you believe doctors see it in the same way?
A You know, I wrote about it, uh, Oh, probably eight years ago, I wrote this paper, 20% doctor included. It's about a hundred page document, and I wrote about the human element of care being provided by doctors, and the detailed expertise being provided by an AI. You can't expect your oncologist to be caring, talking about your cancer, and have read the 5000 most recent articles, ah, on your cancer. They can't keep that knowledge in their head, so that's the kind of partnership that'll be possible. You know, you don't want a computer, a computer telling you you have cancer. Yeah, you want a caring human being. I jokingly said to the dean of the Howard Medical School about five or six years ago, they ought to take, change their selection criteria for more empathy More mirror neurons and less IQ only, which is what it takes to get into Harvard Medical School. I said, take the model of the UCLA film school and look at caring humans as criteria number one for admission to the MD program.

Q How do you think about the challenge of verification? With the ability to create content that can be very similar to others, verification becomes the most important thing, making sure that it is authentic. How do you think about that and media rights in a world where content supply could really be infinite?
A Look, that's a tricky problem. Uh, funnily, anticipating this world, my wife runs a non-profit called ck-twelve.org. It's meant to design free content, open source content for everybody, and personal AI tutors for every student that are near free or free. And multiple years ago, we changed our open source license to include a prohibition against derivative works. So we looked ahead a few years and said our content will not allow for derivative work, including derivative algorithms that use the content to train on. So we were forward looking. Now the law in this area is not clear at all. Um, so in Splash.ai, we've trained the music from scratch. There is no YouTube music or any artist music used in training our AI. And it's completely IP free of any artist. I'm excited about music models that don't rely on any IP from any other source. We authored our own loops and stems and voices and all that, and we will also license voice, uh, voices from artists. If Grimes is willing to license her voice, which she has, then it'll become a thing Our users can use in, as they personalize their music with her voice. I think it'll dramatically enhance productivity and creativity, both in music, but also in content, in storytelling, in, um, uh, you know, your brand logo, just almost everything.

Q Do you think the US and the rest of the world will be increasingly reliant on Indian born tech talent, given what you just mentioned there in terms of the amount of young people and their talent?
A I think the great thing about technology is you need to develop it once and deploy it a hundred times. You know, you go discover an oil well, you run out of it, you can't scale, build a million of those. If you build a bipedal robot, you can build a million of those. So yes, technology talent is going to be important to make the world a better place. I'm very optimistic about the role technology can play. Now there's dangers to that too, but I'm very optimistic, whether it's in healthcare, we've talked about it, Climate and energy. We've talked about that music and media and content generation, uh, lots of places, but the talent can be anywhere. And I think India will be an important source or can be an important source with the right policy. Everything's subject to right politics and right policy in the country.
