"What will change the world more - AI or bitcoin?"
Red a recent post form a top Linkedin voice.
It depends what we do with the technology.
'Well-informed people' will change the world more than anything else. Can we achieve that with AI, or will it just make us more divided and manipulable?

I spoke with the BBC about how disinformation spreads, especially in times of conflict and political division. When people are faced with binary choices, they're more likely to share content that aligns with their identity. And the more emotional or sensational it is, the faster it spreads.
