Zack Kass, a futurist and former OpenAI executive, discusses the potential risks and myths surrounding AI's evolution by 2025. He emphasizes that while cognitive decline due to AI seems unlikely, a growing preference for virtual reality over physical reality could pose significant societal challenges. Kass also highlights the importance of addressing the potential loss of purpose for individuals as automation reshapes the workforce.
Kass argues that the economic implications of AI automation could be positive, leading to lower costs and increased freedom.

He also addresses misinformation concerns, suggesting that robust systems will emerge to validate AI-generated content, ultimately restoring trust in traditional media.
