Can AI and Human Intelligence Coexist? | Prof. Virginia Dignum, Umeå University

In this episode, Dr. Virginia Dignum, Professor of Responsible Artificial Intelligence at Umeå University in Sweden and head of the AI Policy Lab, discusses her book The AI Paradox: How to Make Sense of a Complex Future, a user's guide to navigating the intricate, often contradictory relationship between artificial intelligence and human intelligence. She challenges the popular notion that AI is an unstoppable force that "just happens" like weather, asserting firmly that AI is a human-made artifact and that we have real agency in shaping how it is designed and deployed. Drawing on thought-provoking paradoxes, including why equal treatment does not always lead to just outcomes, and why true superintelligence may lie not in machines but in human cooperation, Dr. Dignum offers a compelling, purpose-driven framework for how individuals, organizations, and policymakers can navigate the complex and often contradictory relationship between artificial and human intelligence.
