When the Software is the AI: The Birth of Digital Minds | a Reflect Podcast by Ed Fassio

What if software stopped being a tool—and started becoming a mind?In this provocative episode, Ed Fassio explores the transformation of artificial intelligence from predictable code to adaptive, opinionated entities. Drawing from philosophical frameworks like the computational theory of mind and Stanisław Lem’s concept of personoids, Fassio dives deep into how AI now performs intelligence, rather than just simulating it. Along the way, we examine the societal, ethical, and educational shifts required to engage with a future where software exhibits agency and influence.This conversation is not just about where technology is headed—it’s about how we prepare ourselves to live with, learn from, and possibly negotiate with these emerging digital minds. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEthics #DigitalConsciousness #MachineLearning #TechPhilosophy #AIandSociety #ComputationalMind #EdFassio #FutureOfAI #SoftwareWithAgency #AIRevolution #Personoids #GenerativeAI #TechEducation #AIliteracySend us Fan MailSupport the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
