DR DANIEL SUSSER - A REFRESHING PERSPECTIVE ON TECHNOLOGY...

What this episode covers

Hello and welcome to Upgrade Thought! Today, I will be talking with Dr Daniel Susser, a professor at Cornell. Dr Susser has devoted his professional career to understanding technology in a comprehensive way, approaching technological issues philosophically, ethically, politically, legally, etc. These are very timely topics. In this episode, we discuss technology in a relevant and understandable way. Expect to hear a refreshing perspective on artificial intelligence, as Susser explains why A.I. is just a marketing term, why he is not scared of it, and how concerns related to existential risk might distract us from more pressing issues. In addition, we discuss how much control we have over technology, gig economies, surveillance, how people can learn more about technology, and more. Enjoy!
