One audience proved the annual conference is not a safe space for AI.
Silicon Valley’s richest nerds seem dead certain that AI will make our world a better place. Not everyone is so convinced, however. At SXSW this week, a sizzle reel that featured conference panelists talking effusively about the new technology was roundly booed by disgusted audience members. The reel in question was shown before the premiere of the new rom-com The Fall Guy.
” During her segment, Swisher, who recently got chummy with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to promote her new book, said that every company will use AI to “figure out how” to become “more efficient.” Here’s the reel: Yes, wow! I guess resistance is futile, guys. Better just assimilate to the Borg while you’re ahead and stop worrying about stuff like job automation and AI-guided warfare. Everything’s going to be cool if we just support AI now! Well, audience members weren’t having it. The video got booed.
