Welcome to a very special edition of The Investor Download where your host is Schroders’ CEO Peter Harrison – and the topic is all things AI. Join Peter as he talks to Michael Bhaskar, one of the authors of The Coming Wave, a 2023 bestseller which critics have described as “vital”, “terrifying”, and “unmissable”. Michael visited Schroders’ London office to record the conversation which was joined by Nils Rode, Charlotte Wood and Alex Tedder – each of whom in their different roles at Schroders is passionate about AI and brings their own angle to the topic. The Coming Wave was one of six books shortlisted for the 2023 Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year. Its other author, AI entrepreneur Mustafa Suleyman, is co-founder of Deepmind and Inflection AI. In the book Suleyman and Bhaskar warn about the dangers of innovations such as generative AI, synthetic biology and quantum computing, and assess how and if these dangers could be contained. NEW EPISODES: The Investor Download is available every Thursday and will be released at 1700 UK time.
