Will Artificial Intelligence Make Us More or Less Wise?

from Cosmic Intelligence · host Chad Woodford

In this episode I explore the complex relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and wisdom, particularly focusing on discernment. I argue that while AI can hinder discernment by perpetuating biases and misinformation, it also holds some potential for cultivating it through tools that aid meditation and self-reflection. I also emphasize the importance of truth and self-awareness in this "age of AI." Ultimately, I argue that discernment is a uniquely human quality that requires ongoing effort and vigilance, whether aided by AI or not. This one was a long-time coming so I hope you get as much out of listening as I did writing it!  More on OpenAI's recent decision to remove some of the content guardrails on ChatGPT.This episode was adapted from a guest post on Michael Spencer's AI Supremacy newsletter. Support the showJoin Chad's newsletter to learn about all new offerings, courses, trainings, and retreats.
