Software development and software engineering could be the first economically viable capability that closes the gap between humans and AI, says Eiso Kant, the CTO of frontier AI company poolside. He shares what these changes mean for his company and sector, and for knowledge work generally. He also explains what he sees ahead and why he stays cautious about tech forecasts and predictions. Lastly, he breaks down how worry and fear can be a motivator to drive true learning and understanding in a fast-moving space, and the question we should ask to understand how we can uniquely contribute to societies and economies in the years ahead.
This interview was recorded in January 2025 at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
