65. Daniel Kondor - CSH - The long term impact of AI on society

Author: Manuel Pasieka February 12, 2025 Duration: 1:04:50

Guest in this episode is the Computational Social Scientist Daniel Kondor, Postdoc at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna.

Daniel is talking about research methods that make it possible to study the impact of various factors like technological development on societies; and in particular their rise or fall, over long periods of time. He explain how modern tools from computational social science, like agent based modelling can be used to study past and future social groups. We talk about his most recent publication that takes a complex systems perspective on the risk AI poses for society and provided suggestions on how to manage such risks through public discourse and involvement of affected competency groups.
