Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie in Conversation with David Rubenstein: Genesis

Join former Google CEO Eric Schmidt with Alliant founder Craig Mundie on the promise, and potential peril, of a new frontier in artificial intelligence — and their collaboration with the late Henry Kissinger on his final book, Genesis.

At the end of his life, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger set out to grapple with AI — a technological breakthrough that dramatically empowers people in all walks of life while also raising urgent questions about the future of humanity. Written with leading technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, the resulting book, Genesis, charts a course between blind faith and fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI, both its opportunities and its risks — “a profound exploration of how we can protect human dignity and values in an era of autonomous machines” (Walter Isaacson).

In a special conversation with David Rubenstein, hear Schmidt and Mundie on their collaboration with Kissinger on his final book — why Kissinger chose to spend his final chapter thinking about AI, working with him in his final days, how AI affects not only our everyday lives but tests our relationship with the divine, and much more.
