Introducing Unreal: When AI Becomes Us

from Flipping the Bird: Elon vs. Twitter

Something strange is happening to us. The intelligent machines we’ve built to serve us have started to sound like us, look like us and even think like us. The line between real and artificial is dissolving… so, what awaits us in the uncanny valley?Across six episodes, award-winning journalist Marc Fennell will explore how AI will change us as humans.So much of the conversation around AI is about technology and speculation about the future. But this about us: how AI will change our sense of self, our sense of reality, the way we love and the way we grieve. Parents bring back a murdered son. Romantics fall for code that talks back. Machines read minds. Spirituality is found, and lost, in code.Marc Fennell’s Unreal is a human-first exploration of how intelligent machines are reprogramming what being “human” actually means.Listen to Unreal: When AI Becomes Us right now on Audible.
