From the risk of "information diabetes" to the right ratio of AI to human in care delivery, Dyson challenges founders and investors to ask harder questions about what they're actually building, and for whom. She also makes the case for single-payer healthcare as public infrastructure, the value of dignity and agency in underserved communities, and why wisdom, not intelligence, is the variable that matters most in the age of AI.
