Life After Google

George Gilder

In January 2017, a discreet meeting in Monterey Bay brought together Silicon Valley leaders, including Google co-founder Larry Page, to discuss the risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite their involvement in AI development, these innovators sought to raise awareness about its potential dangers, reflecting a pragmatic view that if they didn’t create AI, others would. This concern ties back to Kurt Gödel’s 1930 discovery that no logical system can be entirely self-sufficient, as it always relies on external rules. For AI to become a true existential threat, it would need to be deliberately programmed that way, as it cannot independently surpass its inherent limitations. This chapter also explores how unconventional approaches, like the Thiel Fellowship, have fostered groundbreaking innovations, such as Ethereum’s blockchain technology, which challenges centralized systems like Google’s data-driven model. As advancements in blockchain and decentralized computing emerge, questions linger about the future of technology and the obstacles that may shape its trajectory.
