Two sharply different visions of AI were platformed on stage at the Mobile World Congress trade show on Monday. The true believers case for the technologys potential to merge with and transform human life for the better was offered up by futurist and singularity priest Ray Kurzweil, who also has a research role at Google.Beaming in via videoconference in a white shirt paired with vividly painted braces, Kurzweil suggested AI will supercharge humanity bringing, if not quite immortality, a major extension in humanitys longevity and capabilities as a result of AI-fuelled advances in areas like healthcare.AI is, he suggested, already powering huge gains for those paying attention and is going to transform everything all at once, raining benefits down on humanity across countless other domains, such as unlocking the plentiful power of solar energy.Thanks to AI-optimised designs and new components, renewable energy technology is on track to dominate within a decade, he predicted.The AI-adjacent doomsaying arrived in person, and with plainer speech: author, academic and tech investor Scott Galloway used his on-stage fireside chat to warn that rage-fuelling algorithms are destroying an entire generation of (mostly) young men.Left to run by their negligent owners, the algorithms figured out that the ultimate branding tool is rage, he argued painting a picture of ad-funded, AI-fuelled platforms profiting from a polarised nation where neighbors in the U.S. are increasingly not talking to each other.Weve never been stronger and yet we hate each other, hesaid, crediting AI-driven information-sorting with amping up isolation and anti-social attitudes, especially among young men, as well as contributing to a national loneliness crisis.Going further, Galloway railed against a billionaire class of tech CEOs for failing to call out democratic abuses by the current U.S. government where X owner Elon Musk is presiding over a Department of Government Efficiency thats busy slashing federal programs while the Trump administration quietly pushes tax cuts that he said will exclusively benefit the wealthiest in society, including himself.This domino of cowardice among super wealthy its just so disappointing and un-American, railed Galloway, tossing in several unvarnished insults (f*** you!) directed at tech CEOs including OpenAIs Sam Altman, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Apples Tim Cook for bending the knee to Trump rather than speaking up in defence of the democratic system that enabled them to build their own tech empires.
