How will humans and technology interact in the future?

Tech journalist legend John Markoff sat down with Drew Fortin to chat about how Markoff went from covering the early days of Silicon Valley to winning a Pulitzer for reporting on the tech giants' business practices. The two dive into Markoff's shifting views on how technology impacts jobs, his concept of "intelligence augmentation" versus AI, and concerns about machines dumbing down humans. Markoff shares his skepticism about overhyped tech like self-driving cars, as well as emerging tech like Web 3.0. Throughout the insightful convo, Markoff reflects on how his decades of reporting have shaped his perspective on tech's relationship with humans. Markoff remains hopeful we can use technology to uplift humanity but worries profit motives may hamper that vision.
