979 Tallulah Le Merle: Hope in the Age of AI

Why Women Must Shape the AI Future as Inclusive, Diverse, Ethical and Transparent

Public opinion on AI is increasingly cautious, anxious and outright hostile, with 55% of Americans saying it will do more harm than good in daily life. Big Tech’s “move fast break things” ethos is eroding trust, particularly as concerns grow about surveillance tech, and many fear job market disruption, erosion of human creativity, and the seeming inability or unwillingness of the government of effectively regulate AI.  

So, is a dystopian future inevitable, or is there a “case for hope” that innovation in AI can align with humanity in a way that is ethical, inclusive and transparent?

Tallulah Le Merle is a global thought leader on AI, recently delivering her keynote “The Case for Hope in the Age of AI” in San Francisco and the UK Parliament in London. Today she challenges doomsday narratives while also emphasizing the critical importance of intention, ethics, and a more disciplined focus on aligning AI with our humanity in a deeply conscious and connected way.

Tallulah leads AI investment strategy and vehicles for Fifth Era & Blockchain Coinvestors, the asset management company focused on exponential technologies. Fifth Era’s track record is unmatched, with a portfolio spanning 1,500+ startups (including 80+ unicorns like Chainalysis, Coinbase, Kraken, Opensea and Tether). 

Like me, Tallulah believes women must play a central leading role in charting the future course of AI development and implementation if we’re to realize the future we want. That means stepping up as visionaries to build towards a more flourishing human future and addressing the complex questions needed to get us there: tackling bias, including diverse voices, fostering transparency, and innovating in a way best aligned with human creativity and agency.  It also means investors stepping up to invest “conscious capital” in the companies dedicated to this aligned approach.
