From Physics Prof to Sci-Fi Prophet: Chris Kulp on AI, Ethics, and Androids // REPOST

What happens when a physics professor dives headfirst into the world of AI—and also writes space operas on the side? In this episode, we talk with Chris Kulp, professor at Lycoming College and award-winning science fiction author, about the fascinating collision of science, storytelling, and machine learning. 📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠beginnersguide.nl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📧💌📧From teaching physics with Gemini to drafting novels with a little help from generative AI, Chris shares how these tools reshape both the classroom and the creative process.We explore everything from AI solving real physics problems (scarily well), to why students still need to understand the fundamentals. Chris also breaks down how he uses AI to “fail faster” when modeling complex systems, and how fiction can help us ask deeper ethical questions about our AI future. Bonus: we get a sneak peek into his new book Lost Origins—featuring androids, moral dilemmas, and a galaxy where Earth is just a myth.You can find Chris Kulp online at chriskulp.com, and follow him on social media:InstagramFacebookLinkedInHis latest book, Lost Origins, is available wherever books are sold—including, obviously, Amazon! - and as a professionally produced audiobook 😎---Tune in to get my thoughts, don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Music credit: "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads Hosted on Acast.
