What does an actor have to say about the future of A.I.? For Joseph Gordon-Levitt, quite a lot. Over the past decade, Gordon-Levitt has become increasingly fascinated — and increasingly concerned — by the ways A.I. is changing how we tell stories, communicate, cooperate and think. He believes storytelling is humanity’s defining technology. But will that continue to be true as A.I. gets more powerful? Gordon-Levitt has taken that question all the way to the United Nations, where he was recently appointed a global advocate for human-centric digital governance. In a video for @nytopinion, he takes us inside the U.N. General Assembly to explore what’s at stake with A.I. and answers five pressing questions about the technology — including what worries him most and whether governments can keep up with Silicon Valley. | 🎥 Mehron Abdi #nytopinion
