Artificial intelligence is so powerful today.
spk_0
It has hyper-realistic images in video, photography, voice.
spk_0
You mentioned Melania Trump. My agency is the agency that worked with her to build her audio book.
spk_0
If you haven't heard or your viewers have not heard it yet, go on the website, MelaniaTrump.com and take a free sample.
spk_0
It is identical. The synthetic voice is identical.
spk_0
So, our children need to prepare themselves to not trust and to verify.
spk_0
When they see video, when they read a book, when they're looking at something that perhaps is a still photograph, a still image,
spk_0
it could look perfect, but they need to be where.
spk_0
So, we need to be more vigilant.
spk_0
Just a quick break from the program. I need to share with you an urgent matter about scam gold IRAs
spk_0
and the important need to make sure that you're working with a trusted company in the precious metal space.
spk_0
I have had hundreds of people come to me now where they have lost 50, 60, 70% of their life savings in the scam gold IRAs.
spk_0
We are having nearly 100% success rate getting their money back.
spk_0
If you have put your life savings into a gold IRA, I implore you to look and see if you have been scammed.
spk_0
Don't trust the company that sold it to you. Make sure you understand what you can get as a buyback value for the gold or silver that you have in your IRA.
spk_0
If you have known as a significant drop in what you invested, you have more than likely been scammed.
spk_0
We can help you and there's no shame. Go to sarawestall.com slash miles Franklin, fill out that form, and we will help you get your life savings back.
spk_0
Welcome to Business Game Changers. I'm Sarah Westall. I have Mark Beckman coming to the program.
spk_0
He's the senior advisor for Melania Trump.
spk_0
I guess he's the only senior advisor for Melania Trump. We're going to get some really good information out of him.
spk_0
He is a book that's out and we're going to talk about he's an AI expert. He's also an attorney.
spk_0
He owns a big advertising firm and he's really into business.
spk_0
I'm going to ask him a lot about artificial intelligence and how it relates to how it's going to change the world.
spk_0
He has a new book called Some Future Day. How AI is going to change everything, which it is.
spk_0
It's going to change every single field and if it's used right, I think it can be better for society.
spk_0
But it's the most powerful weapon the world has ever seen. I guess not nuclear weapons are pretty powerful, but that's a different type of power.
spk_0
This is the power over one's mind and manipulation, but it also can be a wonderful tool for unleashing human creativity and helping us in so many ways from medicine and new inventions and exploration.
spk_0
You know, it's a double-edged sword and we're going to talk about that and how can it be used for kids to learn without atrophying their brain?
spk_0
Because if you use it as a crutch and they don't learn how to critically think, then it's a problem.
spk_0
I address all of that with him and ask him his opinion.
spk_0
At the end of the day, we need adults. Can't just be a couple of us thinking and talking about it.
spk_0
We need all the adults in the room who are wise and thinking critically about this stuff to get engaged and make sure that where it's implemented in the world that you live in, in your segment of the world.
spk_0
And if we all do this and it's implemented in a way that preserves our freedoms and rights but used for human potential, maybe we could have the best future we've ever seen.
spk_0
But if we don't get engaged and we don't get engaged now, only those who want to use it for their benefit could be the ones who are wielding this tool.
spk_0
And so we have to learn and we have to get engaged. We don't have an option. Right now you've got to get engaged.
spk_0
So I hope you enjoyed this conversation. Before I get into that, I want to talk to you about Slope.
spk_0
This is an amazing, amazing peptide supplement. It is an exercise mimicker.
spk_0
Meaning it creates the same chemicals as when you exercise.
spk_0
So it gives you all of those benefits. It's really incredible because it also burns fat in my studies.
spk_0
They've shown that mice who are obese and they didn't change their their diet.
spk_0
They didn't do anything different. They lost 12% of their body weight.
spk_0
Regular mice who don't need to lose weight, they didn't lose weight with this.
spk_0
It just got the benefits of your brain and your body gets more benefits that comes with exercise.
spk_0
So for people who are already lean, you're going to have maybe a reconstitute muscle, which is another thing that helps you reconstitute your body.
spk_0
This is my go to. I cycle on and off of this every other month because I know that you have to cycle on this.
spk_0
Meaning that when you take a peptide, you can't take it forever because after a certain amount of time it becomes less effective.
spk_0
So you need to take it for a while and then cycle off.
spk_0
So I am religious about taking this on a every other month.
spk_0
And then I take 5 amino, which is another peptide and I cycle with it.
spk_0
And I'm using it on getting older. I'm in my mid fifties.
spk_0
And I don't know how long I've said I made my. I made my still on your 55.
spk_0
So I'm in my early fifties.
spk_0
And I use it to reconstitute my muscle and to hopefully have less fat.
spk_0
So if you are interested in getting this, I have a 15% off coupon now and you can use Sarah.
spk_0
It'll be 15% off and you can use the link below or you can go to sarawestall.com.
spk_0
Understand.
spk_0
Okay, let's get to this wonderful conversation I have with Mark.
spk_0
Hi Mark. Welcome to the program.
spk_0
Sarah nice to see you. Thank you for having me today.
spk_0
Yeah, well, it's an honor to have you on the program.
spk_0
You have been doing a lot of work at trying to inform people about the power of AI.
spk_0
And one of the concerns that I've been hearing from parents and when I've talked out in the road and things is the concern that AI is a great tool.
spk_0
I'm a systems engineer that's my computer science that's my background.
spk_0
And I've taken the AI, I've done a lot of design work in that way.
spk_0
And I can see it being just such a wonderful tool but used in the wrong way and used in the round hands.
spk_0
It can be a double edged sword.
spk_0
But when we're talking about children in AI, they need to know the tools and how to use it.
spk_0
But there's a point where it starts to atrophy the brain.
spk_0
It's kind of like anything else. It's just done for you and you can't develop critical thinking skills.
spk_0
And I know you work a lot with Melania Trump on with foster kids and all that.
spk_0
What are your thoughts on AI with kids?
spk_0
Well, look, I often talk about this Sarah.
spk_0
Artificial intelligence is very powerful. It's almost like a rocket ship.
spk_0
And for sure, I hope you agree. It will be the underpinning for every business sector
spk_0
from the creative industries to finance, from government and defense and beyond.
spk_0
But it's still fragile right now.
spk_0
We're still training these LLMs. They can totally be biased, whether it's political swaying or anything else.
spk_0
And we need to treat artificial intelligence today in a way that is responsible and gentle as if it is our child first.
spk_0
And then flipping it to the human kids.
spk_0
What I've been teaching my children, Sarah, is that they should no longer take on this thing.
spk_0
That my generation, your generation did where seeing is believing.
spk_0
In fact, it's the opposite.
spk_0
Seeing is not believing.
spk_0
Artificial intelligence is so powerful today.
spk_0
It has hyper-realistic images in video, photography, voice.
spk_0
You mentioned Melania Trump. My agency is the agency that worked with her to build her audio book.
spk_0
If you haven't heard or your viewers have not heard it yet, go on the website, MelaniaTrump.com and take a free sample.
spk_0
It is identical. The synthetic voice is identical.
spk_0
So, our children need to prepare themselves to not trust and to verify.
spk_0
When they see video, when they read a book, when they're looking at something that perhaps is a still photograph, a still image,
spk_0
it could look perfect, but they need to be aware.
spk_0
So, we need to be more vigilant. And also, Sarah, the older generation, my parents' generation, think in terms of octogenarians,
spk_0
there are a lot of risks with regards to deep fakes, fraud, financial scams and beyond.
spk_0
So, could you imagine my parents who are in their 80s receiving a phone call with a voice that is exactly mine saying,
spk_0
hey, I'm having a hard time. Send me $20,000 today. There's an emergency situation. Scams like this are occurring.
spk_0
So, we need to teach the younger generation, but also the generation ahead of us to ensure that they can distinguish or at least be aware that it might look real, but it might not be real.
spk_0
Well, yeah, because they want to just suck that money out of the older generation who have spent their entire life saving,
spk_0
and they know that there's money sitting there, so they target those people.
spk_0
But I get concerned with, you know, let's dive into this a little bit more with the kids, because the kids are learning in college is a big thing.
spk_0
You know, I have kids that are just out of college, and they have a lot of friends that are still in college.
spk_0
And the difference of the children, or they're not really children, and the young adults learning with AI, writing with AI, they have zero skills themselves.
spk_0
They don't know how so many of the courses that they're taking, they just use AI to do it for them.
spk_0
And when it gets to the time of taking the test, or when they just have no critical, they didn't learn anything.
spk_0
And it's becoming a crutch all through school, and they're not learning how to think, and how to be critical.
spk_0
And I think the professors at these universities and whatever schools need to teach themselves how to use these tools and recognize when these kids are using them, and it's not their own work.
spk_0
But we have a whole generation of kids now that don't have critical thinking skills.
spk_0
But that's right, Sarah. So it's an interesting situation, and it's ironic to a certain extent, because artificial intelligence will allow for all of humanity to have access to information, to knowledge more so than ever before in history.
spk_0
These large language models will give everyone that has one of these, no matter where they are, socioeconomic, geography, they could get access to information.
spk_0
But as you're highlighting, there's a problem. My background is law, Sarah, and my real property professor, I remember his name, Professor Silverman, he said, people are lazy, slothful pigs.
spk_0
And what's going to happen when you look at artificial intelligence, starting, I think, really with those high school college kids, and then moving a little bit beyond is the lazy kids, the lazy people, they're not going to do the work.
spk_0
They're not going to take the time to really dig into, like, let's say, classic studies, science, literature, math, and beyond.
spk_0
They'll rely on artificial intelligence. Now, if they're lazy, we're going to create this great divide between the knowledge halves and the knowledge have knots.
spk_0
And I think it's part of human nature. So I say those words, lazy, slothful, big, because it does define part of society, I don't mean to knock it.
spk_0
But if you could spend time, if you're 18, 20 years old, and you could spend your time asking Chatchy PT quickly to pump out a literature project for you, and then go with your friends out to a restaurant, or over to the basketball court to play some ball, or you sit down, you have to read Shakespeare and take the time to develop it, predictably 50% of those students are going to rely on Chatchy PT, or Deepseek, or Proplexity, or whatever.
spk_0
The LLM platform is. So I do predict Sarah that there's going to be this great divide from the next generation between the knowledge halves and the knowledge have knots. So again, it's ironic.
spk_0
We have so much access, more access to information than ever before in history, but who is going to be motivated to take the time and do the work to understand science, and math, and history, and beyond?
spk_0
Yeah, it's such an amazing tool. I taught at the university, and here in Minnesota, and one of the graphs that I would show them is, is if you start on this track of lifelong learning, compared to the people who you're describing that don't, the gap, when you're young, the gap isn't that large, but as time goes on, you have this big gap.
spk_0
And then there's this disconnect, and you feel like you're not, you can't associate with this, that'll just magnify that.
spk_0
I totally agree, Sarah, and it's funny at this point in my life, I have a lot of friends who were not very curious, they didn't want to keep educating themselves in learning.
spk_0
You know, you go back in time, and you look at a college education, and maybe it was valuable during that time period, but you need to keep on learning and teaching yourself and educating yourself.
spk_0
With the advent of artificial intelligence, new businesses are going to be created. There's going to be so much innovation, we're seeing it in biotech, we're seeing it in defense, we're seeing it in so many different industries now.
spk_0
And if you're not willing or not curious enough to stay ahead of the curve and continue to educate yourself, you're going to slide.
spk_0
Society will go fast forward and really accelerate, and you'll be left behind.
spk_0
So, like I said at this point, a lot of my peers and friends that I grew up with, college friends, they have J.O.Bs, and then there are other people who are genuinely curious and will use AI to learn, to invent, to innovate.
spk_0
And I think those people will have an edge in society as well, they won't have J.O.Bs, they'll continue to blossom.
spk_0
I think AI is a double-edged sword where it is an incredible tool to be able to really propel humanity forward, and it's also a tool that can be used against us in the wrong hands.
spk_0
Take away our freedom, take away our rights.
spk_0
And so, I've been saying we just have to be extremely diligent, we need the people, the engineers, the people who understand the technology to get engaged and to ensure that the laws and what we go forward with is freedom oriented while we use these AI tools in a way that can benefit society.
spk_0
You being an attorney, I think you can appreciate that. You have a perfect crossroads with being an AI expert or researcher and an attorney, which is really cool.
spk_0
I've been telling people every profession needs to take the time to learn this, and you have to, because the policies, how do I explain this, what we used to use in society, people used to do it. Now it's algorithms.
spk_0
And if it's just hidden in a black box, we are going to be in trouble.
spk_0
I completely agree, Sarah. And something else that scares me, staying on the thread of the next generation of students, young students, is what information they're taking that could be shaped by a centralized, large language model by an AI.
spk_0
So, for example, I mentioned some of the strongest powerful platforms today, and I'll repeat it for your audience are chat GPT perplexity, Elon Musk's GROC, and deep seek.
spk_0
Now deep seek is alarming to me, especially for this next generation, because it's an entity that was created by China.
spk_0
And if you or any of your audience tests it out, I have it. I've had it for a long time.
spk_0
Their interpretation of history is very different than a typical democratic interpretation of history. In fact, it's almost like a CCP propaganda machine. It's kind of scary.
spk_0
So, you know, to them.
spk_0
Give them an example, because that's interesting.
spk_0
Yeah, I'll tell you. So, for example, if you talk about Tiananmen Square, it never happened. If you talk about Xi Jinping, he's the democratic elected leader.
spk_0
If you mention the Weger slaves, there's no slavery in China. And now think about it again. If we go back to those lazy kids, that next generation, if they're relying on getting their information without validating from something like deep seek, you're going to see perhaps Gen Z.
spk_0
Maybe Gen Alpha come up within our nation and interpret history different than the way you and I do. And that could be problematic too.
spk_0
That's a really great example. And we also have to make sure that our history, which is what we've been seeing it being rewritten, our history isn't bastardized, if you will.
spk_0
That there are, you know, we're not erasing what our true history is and that we're reinventing and relearning, because some of our history has already been, you know, changed over time.
spk_0
We have to make sure we get back to figuring out what the truth is and have multiple inputs to these AIs, right?
spk_0
Like, when you ask what the history was of this particular thing, say, the AI could come back with the history, I'm not sure, but these are all the different ideas on what really happened and give you all these different options.
spk_0
And different viewpoints, that would be a great AI tool for sure, but we're not quite there yet, Sarah. So when I talk about centralized AI, if you ask the same question across the platforms that I just mentioned, you'll see nuances, maybe their political bias, maybe they're they taking other levels of bias.
spk_0
So you'll see that the centralized, those are all centralized by corporations, but they could also be centralized through government. So what will happen when we really see China and Russia create these LLMs that become used throughout the world? That's scary as well.
spk_0
I think ultimately what I would like to see is some level of democratization where all of humankind individually can train the AIs. So someone like you who's, you know, sitting in Minnesota might have a very different perspective of the world than someone like me who's sitting in New York City.
spk_0
We might be in different stages of life as it relates to family and career and different priorities, but if we put our collective ideas, but as an individual into an artificial intelligence, maybe, just maybe society could be enhanced, it could be better.
spk_0
But the concept of a centralized engine scares me a little bit and it's kind of interesting. President Trump has addressed the concept of centralized governmental control as it relates to both AI and cryptocurrency.
spk_0
I think the two new emerging technologies are inexorably connected, but he mentions this concept of trying to keep the, trying to keep government out of AI and out of crypto as it relates to the power, the control of the world.
spk_0
That's the control piece of it. That is the essence of freedom, right? Because if you lose your ability to have those critical thinking skills, you essentially lose your free will.
spk_0
I completely agree. And then it's interesting to take it a little further because right now artificial intelligence, if you think about the AI ecosystem, Sarah, there are three components. And I know you have an interesting background in business in particular.
spk_0
You're, your mind's going to start to spin when you think about it. You have the software piece of it, which you and I have been talking about, Chachi PT, these LLMs, et cetera. You have the hardware piece of it. So I think in terms of like chip makers like Nvidia or hyperscale data centers, we need these massive, massive amounts of compute for the AI to both get trained as well as for the inferences for the questions that come through from the people using it.
spk_0
But the third piece of it is energy. We require a ton of power to have these hyperscale data centers run. So now take that a little further and think about how the world is right now poised for perhaps a new world order to be set up, depending on where the power sits along those three legs, software, hardware, and access to power.
spk_0
The president Trump moved in and put together a $2.6 trillion deal in the Middle East specifically in KSA, UAE and Qatar. And a lot of that, I think, is fueled by cheap energy. The third leg of this stool.
spk_0
They talk about fossil fuels, they talk about nuclear. These are areas that are not really growing quickly in Europe because of like their woke propaganda machine. They're shutting down nuclear. They're shutting, they're limiting fossil fuels.
spk_0
And I have a funny feeling we're going to see areas like the GCC in the Middle East leapfrog ultimately Europe because of AI and energy. And that could also create problems for the next generation that perhaps are caused by the AI, not just with regards to messaging, but also with regards to perhaps weaponization.
spk_0
Think about it right now KSA, UAE and Qatar are theoretically our friends, but let's say a bad actor slips in and they want to use AI on the software piece to weaponize certain things. And that could certainly happen too.
spk_0
Well, let's talk about the new world order, the trigger word for so many people in, especially in the independent media. There, you know, when I go and I do some of my talks, I talk about how the structure, I call it the structure of the world has changed.
spk_0
And because back in 1990, the largest company in the world was Chevron, largest market cap. And only one big tech company or tech company was on the top 10, which was IBM. Now every single company in the top 20 is big tech of tech of some sort except Saudi Arabia, or Ramacol or Saudi, or Ramacol, which is like, it was third now at six, I think is drop again.
spk_0
And so the structure of the world is changed. So whether you like new world order or not, the order, the structure, the order of the world has changed, but it seems to me that there is a fight at the very top of what the new world order and the structure of the world means and who's going to be grabbing the power from that. And that's the fight we're seeing right now.
spk_0
I completely agree Sarah. And I think you saw these tech oligarchs, right? People like to call them the tech oligarchs. I think they're the tech. Yeah, the tech pros. I personally, I think they're all amazing. Like, you know, I give them a lot of credit. They're entrepreneurial. They're innovative. They're unleashing, you know, what America was built on as it relates to capitalism onto the world. But it was definitely you could see that movement that you're talking about at the inauguration.
spk_0
And you know, if you go back to January 20th, if you see who was sitting in the rotunda, a lot of strong tech people and then pull that all the way back to just two weeks ago.
spk_0
At the first ladies, AI round table, it was really populated. And then later on that evening with the president with the most powerful tech bros in the world, every major company, even people that aren't loved anymore in the tech space like Bill Gates.
spk_0
They all sat there with president Trump and had dinner every single one of them. So it's pretty amazing. I wonder, Sarah, do you think that the tech bros have more power than any centralized government today? Like who's more powerful? Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk or, you know, Macron?
spk_0
Well, obviously that to me, that's a clear one. I don't think a small, I think France in the relative scale is small compared to the United States where we have Wall Street and a major financial hub. I think we have, it's different. There's more power there.
spk_0
But I would clearly say Google CEO or Amazon, Amazon being a WS meeting that runs a lot of the cloud software for, or even some of these AI systems for the department of defense and the governments, you know, that we don't even hear about.
spk_0
I think that's where a lot of the power lies. But I had a question where people, you know, they were very disturbed watching Trump. I mean, we got to be honest. People were very upset. And you see it all over social media of Trump sitting with these tech bros, if you will.
spk_0
And my answer to people is, well, can you possibly be the president of the United States and not work with the CEO's the most powerful companies the world has ever seen. You can't.
spk_0
But that's also scary to people because we, a lot of people see it as easily weaponized to control our freedom. You don't control us.
spk_0
So it's that double-edged sword that I'm talking about. Just a short break from the program to share with you an amazing peptide to help you lose weight. It's stronger than ozemic and why it's because it not only reduces your appetite, but it also burns fat.
spk_0
These other GLP ones on the market, they do not burn fat. They just reduce your appetite. This one read a true tide is stronger. It's considered a next generation peptide because of that. And man, does this work. I've been using it for two and a half weeks. And I've already lost 11 pounds. And I cut my dose and half because I was losing weight too quickly. And that kind of freaked me out, to be honest.
spk_0
And so I also am taking this five amino one and Q in capsule form. This helps by making sure that you lose fat, not muscle. And so in conjunction, I'm using both of these. This will work whether you have this or not.
spk_0
And I am telling you, it's amazing. If you are interested in getting this, I have the link below where you can go to sarwester.com on the shop. You can use a coupon code Sarah to save 10%.
spk_0
If you have questions about your own use, you should either consult your doctor or you can join Dr. Diane's tribe. And I have a link below to that. It is only $1 for the first week. You can ask her any question you want and get all your answers to this. How to take an injectable. And there shouldn't be any fear in doing that. It is easy and straightforward.
spk_0
Go to sarwester.com under shop or use the link below and remember to use coupon code Sarah.
spk_0
Perhaps, but I am a firm believer that it's all business with money. Money really protects our individual rights at the end of the day. If things are going well, you know, all of our individual rights seem to be in a good spot. Right. When things get messy, that's when we get concerned about freedom of religion, freedom of speech.
spk_0
The right to assemble these types of issues. So when capitalism is working, it seems to benefit the individual in addition to creating a situation within local communities that's stronger perhaps with better access to health care or resources that are in the health and human sciences area, better access to food, you know, food security, these types of issues.
spk_0
I think that they all rise together, but I think, you know, at the end of the day, it's our economy that really drives our freedom.
spk_0
Well, because free markets, right, you have the ability to use your capital to choose what you want to do. But so much in a communist society or where people want to move to, they want to make all those decisions for you. And there was never a better example of that than than COVID, right.
spk_0
And in the medical field, I think that's where some of the largest advancements AI could bring is in the meta where we could really unleash amazing services for amazing solutions to many different health problems.
spk_0
But if the AIs are programmed only to let you see those products or services that make money for the large companies, like it's what's happening today in the Western medicine, how do we break pass that?
spk_0
How do we get the AIs to be a genuine learning model that gives you genuine truth and good information versus a controlled system that only gives you what makes these big companies the most amount of money.
spk_0
I do, that's a great question because one of the most exciting areas for me is artificial intelligence intersecting with science and medicine really for the better of humanity.
spk_0
So I have, I do quite an extensive amount of work in the biotech space and in fact, I just came from some meetings in Washington, DC with Dr. Oz, I spent a little time with, with RFK.
spk_0
And what, what, what I'm concerned about is that with the advent of artificial intelligence, a biotech companies ability on the research side to identify markers so that they could cure, they could create drugs and treatments to cure or prevent diseases is accelerating.
spk_0
I have one client in the biotech space, she focuses specifically on rare and underserved diseases and she's telling me that what used to take about two years during the discovery phase now takes about two months.
spk_0
Now here's the problem Sarah, not knocking big government, I'm just saying it like it is, we, for example, the FDA is bogged down with antiquated processes, right?
spk_0
I think to a certain extent, we might say, yeah, it's important three phase process before drugs hit the marketplace. It's important to protect everybody.
spk_0
But is it saving lives when everything on the discovery pieces accelerated now because of artificial intelligence? So for example, if we're discovering new drugs and treatments because of AI at a much quicker pace, but the lawmakers can't keep up and the regulation that's in place is already too slow, how do we save more lives?
spk_0
So we're going to have the ability to create new drugs, prevent illnesses, to create more treatments, but the system that we have right now is in streamlined for 2026 and beyond.
spk_0
So that's a big concern of mine. It's an interesting issue, right?
spk_0
Well, yeah, when RFK Jr had a chart in his latest report that showed the United States compared to other countries and the United States is losing, we're in anomaly, really.
spk_0
I mean, all the other countries are, the costs are less and their health care is better and our costs are more and our health care is where.
spk_0
I mean, if you look at that chart, we're a complete anomaly and a major issue and people are so frustrated with our Western health care that they're just going to other countries. Where is the best?
spk_0
Health tourism, medical tourism is never, it's never been greater today, right? People leaving this country to go someplace else to get better health care.
spk_0
And that creates that divide of the wealthy versus the poor as well, even more. But AI, if done well, could help to bridge some of that divide.
spk_0
But we have some issues as far as reducing government expenses before we can even, I mean, how do we get AI to be able to be useful when we have that entrenched, it gets back to you or this entrenched thing that created the graph in the first place?
spk_0
Yeah, it's problematic. I mean, look, big government in my opinion just doesn't work. I think we need to scale it down and allow for the private sector. You said it yourself, let the marketplace decide what's best for all of us.
spk_0
I often say it here in New York City, like, who are these people? Who is Chuck Schumer with no expertise in business at all? Who is Chuck Schumer to decide what's best for my child as it relates to health care?
spk_0
Or from my child to relate to like what vaccines, you know, she or he should put in their body. It's the most bizarre thing that we give our government so much power.
spk_0
But then you look at, for example, a company like Google who's created a tool staying in the health space with you for a second called Amy, which is a tool to diagnose disease.
spk_0
And they're almost at 100% accuracy with regards to this tool. There are so many people that just don't have any access. They can't go and see a doctor here in New York City.
spk_0
If you want to go to like a normal pediatrician, it's going to cost you without health care, you know, $500 plus dollars, no matter what.
spk_0
A lot of people can't do that. So now if Amy, AI, and I talk about it in my book a little bit, if that could help someone in the lower socioeconomic strata to diagnose a disease.
spk_0
And then if that individual has the ability to have a telemed meeting with their doctor, who is a metahuman powered by AI, and then opts into a program where perhaps they can order during that meeting.
spk_0
And then they're just putting a drug to help treat that illness. And then perhaps AI is, you know, it's just becoming robotic, right? So you can have Elon Musk's new humanoid robot deliver in a Tesla to your home, the drug in a matter of hours.
spk_0
It streamlines everything. It creates efficiencies. Maybe it saves lives, but there is a lot that's going to come out as it relates to health that will be beneficial without the government's big, you know, big hand overseeing it all.
spk_0
Well, this is the double edge sword because, you know, to me, when I look at most of medicine, I think it's most of what I see can be automated, right?
spk_0
My profession that I started with could automate that profession for the most part. The problem is there's a good 10% that you can't you need that artist touch. I always say the best people in every field is an artist. It's almost it's an art, right?
spk_0
Because it isn't just a logical conclusion all the time you have to read the patient, you have to see it's a little more nuanced, nuanced is what I'm trying to get at. And in this fear, you know, Google notoriously shut people like me and many people in the medical field down and locked us out because we didn't agree with the World Health Organization.
spk_0
I doctor after doctor if they disagreed with the World Health Organization, Google would take us offline, right? And delete all of our videos. So that's the scary part is that we watched Google do that for years.
spk_0
Now they have this software which could be beautiful. That's what I'm saying that double edge sword. It could be beautiful if the people's intent is to truly help people.
spk_0
But if we see that same rearing their ugly head of what they did to us during the COVID years being utilized inside this wonderful possible wonderful piece of software, it could be a nightmare.
spk_0
How do you get that?
spk_0
I don't you know what the truth is I don't disagree with you. I don't think what you're talking about is conspiracy theory. I think it's human nature.
spk_0
I think if you you mentioned earlier like communist societies, all we get out of them historically is death, destruction, killing, you don't really see growth of the human spirit of the individual.
spk_0
It's you know, it's all the opposite. And I think that that's you know, that's the human spirit. We've built here in this westernized democracy in this republic called America.
spk_0
What I think is the best system for the individual to allow each of us to grow and then together we create a wonderful society. But the reality is that you know people can help themselves when they get a little bit too much power and they decide like maybe your perspective of a particular issue like the World Health Organization in my opinion, their horrible World Health Organization is horrible.
spk_0
I agree with you and again, it's like who are these people that are running it and deciding for you and me in America like what's best for us. That person is going to try to silence you. This is a real issue.
spk_0
This is why you know the United States Constitution exists because that person with power, the person that is going to be able to use the AI trigger will try to silence you.
spk_0
They're going to want your perspective, their perspective to push through. They're going to want the power. That's just a fact. And we could try to put safeguards on AI. But at the end of the day, look, I compare AI to a gun.
spk_0
Guns don't kill people. The person pulling the trigger kills. Right. Same thing with AI. AI isn't bad. It's the bad actor that's going to use it in bad ways. And we're not going to be able to stop those people.
spk_0
No, I don't think so. As long as the laws are set up like the Nuremberg Code, we they abandon the Nuremberg Code during COVID, right? We have the right to consent and they weren't giving us the right to consent. We have the right to say no to what goes in our own body.
spk_0
And we can abandon these basic principles because people think the AI is sold. There's an all-powerful brain.
spk_0
We that's I mean, this is the struggle of our time, right? Is the I see I'm not a scared of the technology because I think it's the most powerful, greatest thing that we could have.
spk_0
I'm scared of the wrong intent and the wrong people with the most powerful weapons the world has ever seen in their hands. It's a double-edged sword. And we have it's the wisdom of our ages. I said the adults in the room have to get out there and be engaged because this is this is what's on the line is our basic freedom.
spk_0
Sarah, it's going to be tough though. Like go back to where we started the conversation and think in terms of deep fakes. This wasn't widely reported, but China this was in Reuters. If you feel like Reuters is a legitimate news source, it was covered in Reuters. Everybody could look it up. But China during the summer, just a few months ago, created an anti-American anti-capitalistic campaign from China into Taiwan using artificial intelligence.
spk_0
They created videos and newspaper articles and pumped it into Taiwan to try to separate the Taiwanese from the Americans. Now, what if during COVID, the people with the power were able to create so much content and to a certain extent, control the minds of the masses because they're pushing video and very specific messaging in as a way to create fear.
spk_0
And all of that fear can be so consuming that they'll want to take the vaccine. They'll want to perhaps subscribe to what the government body at that point in time is suggesting. I mean, that could happen. That's realistic, right?
spk_0
Well, that's and fear is the biggest motivator. And when you have fear, it shuts down your rational ability to think. Correct.
spk_0
Right. And so that's our biggest challenge is is not letting that take us over. So you are very interesting. I'm really having a good time having this conversation. You have a book that's out. Can you tell us about your book?
spk_0
Yeah. Thank you for mentioning it. It's called some future day. How AI is going to change everything. This is it. Here's the cover. You could see the balance between a robot's hand and human form, ballerinas. And what I do is I show the average person, the beginner who's curious about how she or he might use artificial intelligence to improve their career. How could they make more money today?
spk_0
How could they start an ad campaign if they're a small business owner? All the tools are listed after every single chapter. I show how communities can be better through the use of AI. And again, after every chapter, all the tools are listed. And then also how to create a better family life.
spk_0
And it's really for beginner beginners. This is not a deep tech hard book. It went to number one in AI, number one in robotics and number one on crypto because it's easy for people who want to learn a little bit to get started.
spk_0
That's awesome. And you are also the senior advisor for Melania Trump. Can you tell me what that's like? What is it? What's it like in that environment?
spk_0
Yeah, it's the best work that I do hands down. I'm grateful that I've had the ability to work with the first lady now for almost 25 years. For example, Sarah, she just announced this past week at the United Nations a global coalition, a movement called fostering the future together.
spk_0
And the idea is it's her idea, it's something that she's been thinking about now since when since President Trump won the election. But the idea is to bring together the first spouses of heads of government all over the world so that children can be empowered and grow through the use of artificial intelligence and education to give them the tools to make the world a better place.
spk_0
And her first meeting with the participants will be at the White House.
spk_0
And of the first quarter probably in March, but it's incredible to impact people. She's extremely busy with regards to fostering the future, which domestically is her focus on bringing children and individuals from the foster care community scholarships for university level education.
spk_0
And it's a huge movement and it's really growing. We've got great universities, faith-based universities like Oral Roberts to Miami, Miami participating now. And she's really changing lives and I feel honored to be a part of it.
spk_0
Well, and their foster kids really need that love, don't they? They need the support because nobody really supports them.
spk_0
Sarah, only 3% of individuals from the foster care community in the United States go on to some level of education when they reach the age of majority.
spk_0
And this is why we have a problem. So many of these individuals end up homeless mixed up with drugs and sex trafficking. And what we're trying to do with fostering the future is move 3% to 100%.
spk_0
Give them the power to go to school, get an education, identify and secure an entry level job and perhaps become the next Elon Musk, perhaps create value across America.
spk_0
You know what I say the true meaning of being a Christian is, you know, we all get caught up in all this doctrine and all the, I say all boils down to one thing. How do we maximize? How do we get it so that every human being can flourish?
spk_0
That's the whole point of it. You can just distill it down to that. And so when I see you and her and what you what you're doing, I just, I can't applaud you more. That's exactly what we need to be.
spk_0
That's an example of it. So it's so great. So thank you for doing that.
spk_0
I appreciate the kind words I'll let her know we could use all the help we could get. So it's a big undertaking. So, you know, thanks for taking a moment to allow me to speak about it.
spk_0
Thank you so much for joining the program. I really there's a great conversation and I appreciate you coming. Thank you.
spk_0
One more thing before I end it. Let me end it this way. Okay. So where can they get a copy of that book that you have?
spk_0
Okay. So my book, some future day, how AI is going to change everything is available now on Amazon. Just look up Mark Beckman, M-A-R-C, B-E-C-K-M-A-M, M-A-N. I can't spell my own name or Barnes and Noble.
spk_0
Okay. Awesome. And then you have a website or any social media. You want people to go to?
spk_0
Yeah, that's great. So I'm across all social media platforms. It's at Mark Beckman, M-A-R-C, B-E-C-K-M-A-N. Now I can spell it.
spk_0
Brains don't work when you're on the spot. Thank you so much for joining the program. It's a pleasure. Really. Thank you so much.
spk_0
