Nicholas Thompson (CEO of The Atlantic) on AI, Ambition, and Running As a Metaphor

Nicholas Thompson has been one of the definers of thedigital revolution in all of its impact on our life. After graduating fromStanford and engaging in freelance writing, he became editor of NewYorker.com.Later, he became Editor-in-Chief of Wired as the power of social media becamemore pervasive. Now he is the CEO of The Atlantic as artificial intelligencebecomes more involved in our daily life.

Thompson has written two books. The first was The Hawk andthe Dove about Paul Nitze, the hawk, and George Kennan, the dove. Nitze wasThompson’s maternal grandfather.

The second, published in 2025, is The Running Ground aboutThompson’s life as a serious and successful marathon runner. It is much morethan a book about running. It is about his cancer struggle and the emotionalstory of his relationship to his father. Thompson makes running central to hisidentity and attitudes about competition, fear, ambition, and endurance.Nicholas Thompson has achieved great success, but in The Running Ground useshis success in running to explore not only the joy of victory but also itscost.

As we learn more about the progress in artificialintelligence, it is a moment to consider its value and its risk.

We will talk about many things with Nicholas Thompson,including running as a metaphor for life, his relationship with his father, thedigital revolution, social media, and the impact of artificial intelligence onall of us.
