Impacts the future of Artificial Intelligence. Hi deborah. Hello, so nice to meet you. I enjoyed your book. Thank you. I would like to start this interview by talking a little bit about you, i would like to know more about you but i would like the audience to hear the story which honestly frankly really offended me which is in your introduction, you got a note from a professor claiming that you would never be a political scientist, can you say a little bit about that. I put that in the book because when i was in college i struggled with what i wanted to major in, like most kids do in college and i was torn between going into science and going into humanities, social science and i finally decided on social science because i find those questions much more interesting and engaging and urgent in my First Political science course we read all the great political philosophers from plato on out and they were all asking the question what is justice, good government, how can you organize governm

Id like to start this interview by talking about you. I was talking a little more about you but i like the audience to start off honestly in your introduction. You got a note from a professor i believe saying youd never be apolitical scientist, can you talk about that . I put that in the book is i wanted to major in college and it was really torn between going into science and going into the humanities and social science and i finally decided on social science because i found those questions much more interesting and engaging and urgent for me. And in my Political Science course we read all these great political philosophers on up and they were all asking the question what is justice, what is good government, how can you organize government and organize society to make life better for people and particularly to make justice. So i ended up before i decided to become a Political Science major, i already had kind of a lack of confidence in my skills as a humanist for a social scientist be

I think the perception that many people in the United States and, of course, also around the world have that this is an extraordinary uni shall time is something that we are in a time out of time will be a curiosity in the future. People will look back and wonder about that very sense i think it is kind of an interesting phenomenon. I think that will be studied. Host when you think about today, do you compare it to any other period in history . Guest no, you know, as a historian, im interested in analogies. I think we have a cognitive tendency to enjoy analogies to find one thing to be like another, all the time, just in the same way, you know, im the kind of person that sees likenesses in family members.
