Ari Emanuel believes synthetic intelligence will assist the leisure business, not destroy it.
Speaking on the Freakonomics Radio podcast to writer and host Stephen Dubner — an interview that came about earlier than the Writer’s Guild of America strike, the place AI points loom giant — Emanuel appeared to point that AI can be a useful gizmo.
“My opinion about A.I. is the following. My son Leo is at Michigan, and he’s in computer science. He and I were having this conversation. And I’m telling him, “programming is going to go away.” And he says, “Dad, here’s my opinion about it. Computer versus computer in chess, draw. Computer versus computer and human, computer-human win.” And when you discuss to George Gilder, he would say expertise has solely added to employment. Elon would say one thing else. It goes to be a vital growth software. Do I feel you possibly can create like Jim Brooks can? No. Could it assist Jim Brooks? Yeah.”
Despite that take, Emanuel stopped in need of saying there’s no hazard in relying extra on AI.
“Do I think there’s protections we have to put in place for music, in books, writing, and… Yeah, I do. But yeah, that’s just change and normal. The one thing that we’re doing is we’re looking at the world, ok, can you A.I. live entertainment? No, can’t. Elon said to me at one point — it was very funny and made me nervous. He says, “Ari, do you have dogs?” I mentioned, “Yeah, I have four dogs.” He goes,
“Well, here’s what A.I. is to you. You’re the dog.”
Dubner countered, “But dogs have a great life, right?”
“I guess,” Emanuel mentioned. “Well, all that means to me is we’re going to have a lot more free time and experience — the experience economy is going to be very important.”
Recalling an Emanuel touch upon dwell leisure, Dubner requested about digital actuality, augmented actuality, and different futuristic leisure types.
“Yeah, you can do that,” Emanuel mentioned. “That’s entertainment.” He added, “You’re going to have the live and then you’re going to have — there’s a whole ‘nother audience that wants to do other things. And we’ll figure that out.”
