00:00The most powerful person today in the world is Xi Jinping.
00:03Not Donald Trump?
00:04Donald Trump is gone in 2029.
00:05Half of what Donald Trump tries to do, the courts say no.
00:09Do you like him?
00:10No, I don't.
00:10The biggest problem when he promotes himself above the country,
00:14and you see this with the money he's making personally over the interests of the country.
00:18You mentioned the number one risk in the world, not even nuclear war, right?
00:22It is the president of the United States.
00:24Why?
00:25Trump takes out Maduro in Caracas and puts him in jail.
00:29He puts the highest tariffs on every country in the world that we've seen in almost 100 years.
00:35He goes to war together with Israel in the middle of the Middle East,
00:39right on one of the most important waterways in the world.
00:43If I look at the last 30 years, there have been a couple different things that have happened.
00:47One is that China and India have been rising.
00:49They're becoming more influential, more powerful.
00:52Secondly, America's allies have gotten weaker, like Japan, South Korea, much of Europe.
00:59I think, and specifically in AI, we have to have global governance because they're also incredibly dangerous if used as
01:07weapons.
01:07We already saw this with Anthropic and OpenAI and all of these advanced models that would allow hacking to destroy
01:17what you have.
01:18And that's the whole digital economy.
01:19I mean, that's the banking system, critical infrastructure, it's national security, it's everything.
01:24What happens when AI can do that with bioweapons?
01:27And that can come from anywhere.
01:28That can come from the U.S., it can come from China, it can come from India, it can come
01:31from an individual.
01:33There's going to be many crises because there's no governance model.
01:39I was reading a report that in 50s, more than 75% people had trust in the government, in the
01:45institutions, in America.
01:47Now, less than 20% people have trust.
01:49Do you think young people today, they believe that American dream is dead?
01:53I think.
