We're still in the very early stages of both understanding and harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. But it's coming, and the pace of change is already vast. And along with it the cries for restraint are growing ever more insistent. Just in the past two months, industry voices have gone from saying we need a six-month pause to reevaluate, to yesterday's warning that AI could be the death of us. Among those most alarmed are some of those with the most to gain financially.

Joining Julia to discuss is Microsoft Vice Chairman Brad Smith.
