Exposing social media's political algorithm: Google CEO Eric Schmidt on 'The Summit Series'

Technologist billionaire Eric Schmidt, the CEO who took Google public, says we are not ready for the Artificial Intelligence "revolution" but offers ideas on how to think through the power and tradeoffs of social media and the coming metaverse. Schmidt, a former adviser to Pres. Obama and the Defense Department, explains how industry and government leaders can better address the profound disruptions in how we live, including how social media profit incentives drive psychological and political division. He also reflects on contemporaries like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the challenge of keeping an open mind, why he attends Burning Man, and his philosophy towards success and failure. This is the newest installment of The Summit Series with Ari Melber, featuring in-depth discussions with leaders at the summit of their fields. The series debuted in 2021 with Melber’s interview with Bill Gates.
