How do we align the rapid, exponential rise of artificial intelligence with humanity's best interests before we reach a point of no return?

In this classic throwback episode from our old Edge of AI Podcast, we sit down with tech visionary Eric Pulier, a prolific technologist who has founded over 15 companies, raised more than $1 billion, and led exits from IPOs to major mergers.

In this deep dive, Eric explores his leadership roles as Co-Chair of the AI Coalition at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute and CEO of Vatom. He outlines the global push for AI ethics, the looming existential threats of synthetic biology and mass deepfakes, and why preserving human culture in local AI models is crucial to preventing algorithmic erasure.

Eric also reflects on inventing the "Vatom" (the virtual atom) in early 2015, the precursor to modern smart NFTs, and explains why self-sovereign identity, tokenized real-world assets, and human-first connection will dictate the next generation of the internet.
