G Edward Griffin: On Truth, AI and Free Speech

This inaugural episode features a very special guest: My father! . . . better known to the rest of the world as G. Edward Griffin, historian, futurist and author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, which sold more than a million copies.

Mr. Griffin would be the first one to point out that he’s not an expert on AI, but this episode nonetheless found an area of intersection between his life work and artificial intelligence.

The show features a thought-provoking discussion about the guardrails that are being erected to ensure that Generative AI does not say “the wrong things.” A conversation ensues about the dangers of creating software that systematically imposes a filtered version of the truth on others, as compared to a world where individuals are able to gain free access to opposing views (including unpopular ones), and to decide for themselves what the truth is.
