Welcome to our recording of "AI Horizons," the latest and most exhilarating event from Santa Cruz Works.

Picture this: a Fireside Chat, but instead of the traditional crackling logs, we had the sparking intellect of technology and human wit. Guiding us through this fascinating journey is the ever-charismatic Guy Kawasaki, renowned for his ability to turn even the most complex tech talk into an enthralling narrative.

On the panel, we had two distinguished guests. First, UCSC Chancellor Cindy Larive, a beacon of academic excellence and insight. Joining her is Boaz Ashkenazy, CEO of Simply Augmented and the insightful host of the Shift AI podcast, who's ready to delve deep into the realms of AI.

Our panel was set to explore some truly thought-provoking topics:

• Who would be the ideal architect of a new educational curriculum — Ron DeSantis or ChatGPT?

Followed by:

• If you had to give someone the nuclear launch codes, would you prefer Kim Jong Un, Trump, Putin, or ChatGPT?

Then, the discussion shifted to a topic that resonated with everyone: emotional intelligence in the digital age. This wasn’t just about how we interact with technology, but how technology is reshaping our understanding of human intelligence and emotions.. It was an exploration of how AI like ChatGPT can understand, interpret, and perhaps even mimic sentience, intelligence, and the emotional depth of humans.

• Who is more intelligent, and has more emotional intelligence - Guy or ChatGPT?

This wasn’t just a question about who can crack the best jokes or offer the wisest advice. It was a deep dive into the questions of intelligence itself, pitting the human noodle noggin, that squishy command center, the “wrinkle in think”, against the circuits of AI. It's an exploration of how AI like ChatGPT can understand, interpret, and perhaps even mimic the memory mattress depth of humans.

You don't want to miss a moment of this captivating discussion. And the best part? You can experience all these intriguing insights right from your screen. So, why wait? Tempt your curiosity and dive into the world where technology meets humanity. Watch the video of the Fireside Chat and be a part of this extraordinary conversation at the cutting edge of AI and emotional intelligence.
