S1E23: The Singularity of Hope (with Author— Dr. Sam Sammane)

We humans are funny. On the one hand, we're all about innovation and progress. Yet on the other, we can't help but speculate about endless doomsday scenarios. From ancient apocalypses to Y2K and 2012, we love to focus on the next thing that will definitely destroy us. AI is the next end du jour. But not everyone sees it that way. Dr. Sam Samman, with scroll of credentials and veritable alphabet of honorifics, sees a near future where humans are augmented by AI. One where the speed of innovation is limited only by the speed of thought. In this future, as in the title of his book, we all attain the Singularity of Hope.
