Eric Schmidt has attempted to recant the most controversial statements in the interview video that Stanford is now suppressing. But he said what he said. Among the more controversial statements (not exactly his words, but a summary):
He opined that #Google had fallen behind in AI and had to rush to catch up because the firm cared too much about its employees' work/life balance, rather than just working them as hard as possible and going for the AI jugular early on.
He discussed how AI firms can just grab whatever content they want and then use lawyers after the fact to try clean up the mess.
As I said earlier, he made quite a few very insightful comments, but the awful ones are indeed pretty awful.
