Schwarzman donates $188m to Oxford for AI research - CNN VideoStephen Schwarzman, the billionaire founder of investment firm Blackstone (BX), has given the University of Oxford its largest single donation in hundreds of years to help fund research into the ethics of artificial intelligence. This will definitely slow down our tech overlords, great job Stevie Can we take that same money and invest into our many colleges in school that are closing or into fixing the very issue we have with high education. Is that AI that you truly love so much going to help fix 'our' financial debt by way of student loans? Just asking for everyone! That’s how rich people do it. To get a tax break they don’t want to give those most in need a break, like homeless vets, hungry elderly. Instead they waste it on some nonsense like this. Because let’s face it, you’re just not profitable enough.
