Never before has it been harder for leaders to make sense of what’s going on in the world. As exponential technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) march on, the ability to make future-proof decisions is all the more important for leaders.
Azeem Azhar’s new TV show and podcast, Exponentially with Azeem Azhar (created in partnership with Bloomberg Originals), goes beyond mainstream conversations about technology to explore new ways of thinking about our collective future.
In eight episodes, released weekly starting September 6, Azeem speaks with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei, and legendary Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla, among others.
They discuss questions such as:
- What does it mean to legally own your thoughts, and why may we want that to happen soon?
- Could AI reduce global inequality by boosting productivity in the Global South?
- What assumptions do we need to change about conflict to avoid a second Cold War?

AZEEM AZHAR: Never before Has it been harder for you to make sense of what is going on in the world. Opportunities abound, but let’s accept it’s a chaotic time – for you, for me, and for leaders around the world. As exponential technologies like artificial intelligence march on, the payback for being able to make future-proof decisions amidst unprecedented ambiguity only increases. You will likely recognize this challenge from your own experience. I’m Azeem Azhar, and today I want to invite you to join me over the next eight weeks as I step out of mainstream conversations about technology to explore new ways of thinking about our collective future. Today I’m launching Exponentially, a new video and podcast show in partnership with Bloomberg Originals. Come with me from the US coasts and across Europe as I meet some of the brightest leaders shaping the future. I speak with open AI’s boss, Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, and the legendary Silicon Valley investor, Vinod Khosla amongst others. Over the course of the season, I’ll get into questions like, what does it mean to legally own your own thoughts, and why does that matter now? Could AI reduce global inequality by boosting productivity in the global south? And what assumptions do we need to change about our geopolitics in order to avoid a Cold War II? Tune in today to hear the first episode.
