“There’s the existing AI and the dream of artificial general intelligence that is aligned with our values and will make our lives better. Certainly, the techno-utopian dream is that it will lead us towards utopia. It is the means of organizing human collectivities, human societies, in a way that would reconcile all the variables, all the things that we can't reconcile because we don't have enough of a fine-grained understanding of how people interact, the different motivations of their psychologies and of societies, of groups, of people. Of course, that's another kind of psychology that we're talking about. So I think the dream of AI is a utopian dream that stands correcting, but it is itself being corrected by those who are the curators of that technology. Now you asked me about the changing role of artists in this landscape. I would say, first of all, that I'm for virtuosity. And this makes me think of AI and a higher level AI, it would be virtuous before it becomes super intelligence.”

The conversation about our technological future is often dominated by headlines and hype, leaving little room for nuance. AI & The Future of Humanity moves beyond the soundbites to explore the profound questions shaping our collective tomorrow. This podcast delves into the intricate landscape of artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging fields like quantum computing and nanotechnology, examining not just their potential but their real-world implications. Each episode features in-depth discussions with a diverse range of voices-from scientists and engineers to philosophers, activists, and policy experts. Listeners will hear thoughtful analysis on the ethical dilemmas of algorithmic bias, the societal shifts prompted by automation and the future of work, and the creative possibilities within virtual and augmented reality. We grapple with how big data and the Internet of Things are reshaping daily life, and critically assess the promises and perils of generative AI. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how these powerful tools are developed and deployed. By focusing on the roles that individuals, organizations, and governments can play, the series aims to cut through the noise, offering a grounded perspective on how we can steer innovation toward outcomes that benefit all of humanity. It’s a space for meaningful dialogue about the design choices we face today that will define the world we inhabit tomorrow. Tune in for a necessary and nuanced exploration of the forces that will shape the coming decades.
