"At Bilderberg 2015, the executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, brought along two of his top people to lead a session on AI. It might seem an odd fit for Bilderberg, but over the last few years the big shift within the group has been towards new media and new technology. Schmidt and Thiel both sit on the group’s steering committee, as does Craig Mundie of Microsoft and Alex Karp, the billionaire CEO of data analytics company >>>Palantir<<<, who was [Peter] Thiel’s roommate at Stanford Law School.
Bilderberg has reached out to Silicon Valley; it’s grappling with AI. Looking forwards to the future, always with an eye to what’s valuable. If Bilderberg is to survive, and stay influential, it has to merge with this new technology. It knows it can’t be left behind."
