Episode Description from the Publisher

In this next episode of Money, Markets and More, I sit down with Liv Boeree to discuss AI, risk, poker, game theory, incentives, state power and better decision-making. I thought this was a terrific interview and I hope you enjoy it.You can either watch the video above, or listen to the interview as a podcast in the normal way.Liv argues that, while AI could bring huge breakthroughs in health, drug discovery, efficiency and human flourishing, thi same technology can also be used to cause serious harm. We discuss regulation, bad incentives inside AI companies, state surveillance, privacy, human atrophy, automation versus augmentation, and why Liv believes poker is a better model for life than chess: imperfect information, luck, risk, emotion and long-term decision-making.This interview was filmed at ARC 2026 and made possible by The Pure Gold Company.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe.
