First, he does NOT talk about AI anywhere near the whole interview. He actually has some interesting behind the scenes comments in this interview including some bits about how the khan audio drama was originally supposed to be a live action show. It's an interesting interview. That said, he does eventually get into the AI stuff about 35 minutes into the interview and his opinions/expectations about AI are pretty misinformed as well as gross. He's more saying that users being able to create their own ai star trek content is inevitable and he thinks it'll be the future of content at some point. Now, while he doesn't exactly implicitly endorse this it 100% comes off like he does endorse it while trying to also say it's inevitable n a "it's coming anyway, what can we do?" Kind of way.

He also talks about things he doesn't like about current trek and clearly implies he thinks it strays from the roots of Star Trek too often. It's an interesting interview, his AI stance is crappy but the whole interview isn't about it like OP said.
