He's one of the most thoughtful voices in the world of Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, “Truth of the Matter” host Natasha Zouves sits down with the pioneering technologist and co-creator of Django, Simon Willison.
As AI accelerates at breakneck speed, Willison helps us cut through the hype to confront the real stakes: Which jobs are most at risk in this new era, and which might actually thrive? How do we “AI-proof” our own lives and careers when the ground is shifting under our feet?
In this wide-ranging conversation, Willison pulls back the curtain on the future we’re building, often faster than we can fully understand it. From disinformation campaigns to automations’ quiet creep into white-collar work, he explains what keeps him up at night — and why the U.S. may be flying blind if global competitors like China reject regulatory guardrails.
This is a frank, fascinating conversation about power, risk and the responsibility we all carry as we shape the future of intelligence itself.
