Interesting reflection from , John Palfrey after attending the AI summit in Delhi:
In Delhi, the big sessions had thousands. And the man who ran the event told me that more than a million people, mostly from India, had passed through the gates of the massive convention center during the week.
This may sound symbolic but I think it is an important symbol: that AI is about and for all humanity. It is not something that is magical and only to be shaped by wizards. It is a technology that is general — it touches everyone on the planet one way or another, already, with implications for nearly every aspect of human life. I’m not hyping it up; I think this is fact at this stage. The Internet was the same way, sort of, but I think AI will prove another step more consequential.
