I know Joseph Gordon-Levitt as an actor from the TV show Third Rock From The Sun and then later from his roles in everything from Ten Things I Hate About You to Brick, Looper, Lincoln, The Dark Knight Rises, and the Trial of the Chicago 7. Don Jon which he wrote, directed, and starred in back in 2013 is, in my opinion, a really prescient film about a lot of aspects of contemporary society. And in recent years, he's gotten more involved in a range of policy issues especially related to technology and artificial intelligence.
And in recent years, he's gotten more involved in a range of policy issues especially related to technology and artificial intelligence. He's a Slow Boring reader, we've met a couple of times and did a panel together at an AI conference recently and thought it would be fun to do a live video chat about his recent Hollywood Reporter op-ed on AI and copyright.
