Humanity as a Service. Consciousness as Code.
Culture of Change - Episode 18 Show Notes
Artificial intelligence promises to deliver Humanity 2.0. For years, as consumers, entertainment programming like The Terminator (1984), Marvel Age of Ultron (2015), Travelers (2016-2018) and many other imagined universes have helped human normies get their heads around artificial intelligence.
In March of this year, the Center for Humane Technology released The AI Dilemma. Per the video description, “Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th, 2023 with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. We encourage viewers to consider calling their political representatives to advocate for holding hearings on AI risk and creating adequate guardrails.”
During Episode 18 of Culture of Change, I am joined by the dauntless duo from The Sitrep, CannCon and Alpha Warrior, to discuss the real impact of the AI threat, and why it’s more important than ever for ALL of us to get educated on emerging technologies.
