Who is really in control of AI and our future? with John J Wisdom

078 The birth of artificial super intelligence has been compared to the invention of fire and it is fundamentally reshaping our work, relationships and ontological reality. This technological revolution is also happening at a potent time at the intersection of the climate crisis, historic wealth inequality and shifting global politics. The dawn of AI is forcing us to confront profound questions around what it means to be human and who or what is in control of our collective destiny?In this episode of Awake In Relationship I speak with John J Wisdom, a technologist turned speculative fiction writer and author of G.A.I.A: The World on the Brink in the Age of AI about the power of stories and the known unknowns of a future shaped by a technology that few of us fully understand. In this chat we also explore some of the the moral and philosophical grey zones that AI presents and the possible emergence of a ‘conscious’ and benevolent super intelligence that can help humanity navigate the complexity and peril of this evolutionary bottleneck. Photo by Galina Nelyubova on UnsplashMusic used in this episode by mfcc-space on PixabayFollow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and LinkedinIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at [email protected]
